I am Spartacus!

Blueberry — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:43:18 EDT

For the record, I deleted my own blog after being digusted by the exchange that went on. I had just come back from the Obama office when I saw what had happened to my blog in support of Shop....what a damn shame and waste of blog space. THEN, I go have dinner, spend some time with the family and come back to be notified of another huge cat fight.....plus, I'm now accused of being a Republican! LOL! Too funny...too sad...oh, so typical.

Sunday morning in sunny Reno......

8/17/08 Reno Gazette Journal link to article and audio of full speech with question and answer period. He was strong, honest and forthright that our country needs some work. What a wonderful way to spend a sunny Sunday morning!

P.S. That's me in the red hat! :)

Petiton to the DNC

Blueberry — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:19:04 EDT

Regarding the PartyBuilder blog:

We Democrats have a proud tradition of patriotic dissent. We believe in liberty and justice and the freedom of speech. We believe in building the Party with spirited, yet civil arguments and discussions on topics and candidates. And, while we acknowledge that the DNC is a private organization with full authority to regulate blog content, we believe it is morally just to have a fair, transparent due process when dealing with complaints concerning blog content and comments.

The current process for banning users is unpredictable and subjective without giving any set guidelines for conduct or a warning process. Banning users and deleting their entire blog history is an extreme measure which should not be done lightly, especially without prior notice given of a conduct violation.

We ask for the following:

An explicit code of conduct clearly posted on the PartyBuilder blog page; including a warning procedure for those accused of violating the code of conduct and a review process for reinstatement.

Thank you.

4,134 dead U.S. soldiers.....thousands more coming home injured, physically and emotionally while the endless petty in-fighting here continues. We are all Americans. We all want a better country and a better world left for our children and grand-children. Hug your kids. Hug your neighbor. Hug your so-called enemy. The real enemy is apathy towards corruptness in our own government. Thank the good Lord and each and every person that is here who is interested in protecting our encroached upon civil liberties from the GOP.

The Olympics will soon be here highlighting the beautiful country and people of China. This is a perfect opportunity to create bonds among people from different cultures, but it is also the prime time to let China know that the world is still watching and condemning their continued human rights violations.

Exxon - McCain '08

Blueberry — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:58:18 EDT

Thanks, Ben, for posting the Politico article!

There are excellent talking points on the new Exxon-McCain '08 site for the next time you have a Republican cornered in an elevator. For starters:

Obstructing Solutions That Work For You

Oil Companies Would Lose $30 Billion in Tax Breaks Under Bipartisan Compromise. “Approximately $30 billion will come from new revenues from the oil and gas industry through such measures as modifying the Section 199 manufacturing deduction for oil and natural gas production and other appropriate measures to ensure that the federal government receives its fair share of revenue from Gulf of Mexico leases.” [Sen. Conrad, Press Release Announcing Gang of Ten Compromise, 8/1/08]

McCain Opposes A Bipartisan Compromise to Expand Domestic Oil Production Because of Provisions that Would End Tax Breaks for Oil Companies. “A spokesman for Sen. McCain said that while he ‘applauds the bipartisan effort,’ he wouldn’t support the proposal because ’ he cannot and will not support legislation that raises taxes.’” [Wall Street Journal, 8/2/08]

John McCain Opposes Taxing the Record Profits of oil Companies In Order To Provide A $1,000 Energy Rebate For American Families

Looks like Iraq can afford to pay for Blackwater "services" themselves....what a freaking snafu.

I was going to post a relevant, political blog comparing JFK's challenge for activism to Americans to today's politicians.....but then something really, really good happened....

Go Green...put green in your pocket

Blueberry — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:55:19 EDT

Obama has been bashed lately by the pundits on the right for suggesting we all check our tires to ensure they are inflated correctly. Oh, my. You would have thought he told us all to 'eat cake.' But the fact remains that if we all did small measures to conserve.....correct tire inflation, changing lightbulbs, driving slower, driving less, recycling, low-flow shower heads and toilets...and on and on, there would be a significant reduction of energy needed to maintain our lifestyles. We can do this...we just need to replace Green addiction for our old addictions.

As the Olympics draw near....don't forget

Blueberry — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:25:32 EDT

We must not let all the fireworks and hoopla erase the world's knowledge of continued human rights violations perpetrated by China.

Thugs and Queens

Blueberry — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:43:51 EDT

Apparently, these words have been used *forever* in different languages as every day words with no racial or sexual overtones. But times have changed and it's time to catch up with the 21st century, people.

Say "Thugs and Queens" to McCain and he'll think "Criminals and Royalty."

Say "Thugs and Queens" to any 15-year-old high school freshman, and they'll say "Ganstas and Gays."

So, to the Hillary supporters who wish to continue describing Obama and his supporters as THUGS, don't say you have never heard it was offensive. We've said it loud and clear. It is now your choice to continue or not.

Some ask if unity is possible......

Blueberry — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:05:31 EDT

Yes! Apparently, anything is possible!

Uncle Sam wants YOU!

Do not allow another GOP president to decide our next Supreme Court justices!

Friday Forum: Democratic Bandwagon

Blueberry — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:20:22 EDT

If nothing else, can we all agree that the Democratic wagon is a heck of a lot better for ALL of us than the GOP wagon?

How many female or minority presidential candidates did the GOP offer America? NONE.

How many pro-women, pro-children, pro-education, pro-worker's, or pro-healthcare legislation has the GOP endorsed? NONE.

Let's all just be thankful to be having these types of discussions on the Democratic bandwagon site.....we'd ALL be banned from the GOP site a long time ago with pleasure!

Cheers to my fellow Blue friends!
