Subject: [GFR-Discussion] The two GFR democratic platform planks
Hi, all,
The two Get FISA Right Group planks have been posted as 'Civil Rights' Planks on the MixedInk site at http://www.mixedink.com/netrootsplatform/index.php#a3
which is hosting the Netroots Political Platform project. If people can not attend a Democratic Platform meeting this week, taking part in shaping the Democratic Party Platform through this web- based site would be a great way to participate. The various planks can be browsed, rated, and reworked.
I think that the Get FISA Right group did a great job with our proposed planks. I would encourage everyone to set up an account (yes - another one!) at the MixedInk site and rate our proposals up!

Standing before an assembly that would elect two bishops, the Rev. Frank Wulf shared his problem as a candidate for one of the top clergy positions in The United Methodist Church.
"The problem is that I come as a gay man, and I know where our church stands on the issue of same-sex orientation," Wulf said in his candidacy address before the Western Jurisdictional Conference, which represents United Methodists in the western United States, Guam and other U.S. territories in the Pacific.

Dear Laura,Since 2001, I have served as the honorary chair of HillPAC, an organization dedicated to helping working families. It is our goal to fight for a better future for every child, and for every family. To keep fighting for those who get up every day, no matter what the odds, and never give in. For those who never back down, and those who always stand their ground. HillPAC works to elect Democratic candidates to office who share these same ideals and goals and I'm proud to serve as the honorary chair and I hope you will join me in this mission.
Right now, I'm working with HillPAC to lead the fight on one very important issue, and we need your help.
The Bush White House is working to rewrite the definition of abortion in federal regulations to include common forms of birth control. This would undermine women's health and put family planning services in danger. Simply, it puts women at risk -- it could even prevent victims of sexual assault from receiving emergency contraceptives.
I need your help to speak up for the health of millions of American women who are in danger, once again, from the latest assault from the Bush administration.
Will you join me in sending a strong message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt to put women's health ahead of right-wing ideology?
Click here to send a message to the Bush administration asking them to protect women's health.
Imagine being told common forms of contraception like birth control pills could now fall under the definition of an abortion. This is another assault by the extreme right on the rights and health of women everywhere. They will do anything in their power to impose their beliefs -- no matter what the risk to women.
We've worked hard to guarantee women have access to a full range of health and family planning services, and we can't let the right wing undermine those efforts. This issue is far too important not to act, so I hope you'll join HillPAC and me today in speaking out to protect women's health.
Tell Bush's HHS Secretary to protect women's health!
Thank you for all your support. I'm so happy that we are still working together on vitally important issues like this one.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

Sixteen percent of registered voters are not sure whom they will vote for.
Among LGBT adults, 60 percent favor Obama while 14 percent favor McCain.
Three percent of LGBT adults favor Barr, while 1 percent choose Nader. Six percent choose "other," while 17 percent of all LGBT voters are not yet sure which candidate to support -- comparable to the general population.
Among independents, Obama has a 12-point lead (38 percent to 26 percent), but one-quarter of independents are not sure, 4 percent would vote for Bob Barr and 3 percent for Ralph Nader.
The findings also show that 90 percent of African-Americans are voting for Obama, as are six in 10 Latinos. Whites, however, are leaning towards McCain over Obama (40 percent versus 34 percent).
