Register to vote, and send Voltage to play at the Democratic National Convention. We have songs that are perfect for the event already written, and I am already the number one democrat at the DNC.
Obama is soon to be attacked on many fronts by the likely chop shops. We need to tune up talking!

I have created a group for people like myself who would like to be proactive in attempting to stop an a conflict with Iran. I am hoping we could exchange ideas on things we can do to stop this confict including making people aware that the battlefields are being readied for this war now.
We will also be exchanging news and developments.
No moderation in this group. All are welcome.
Let's do something before it's too late!

Even sadder, Obama is so embarassed at his failure to embrace this idea of his fellow Democrat that Obama is failing to make fun of McCain for being so intellectually bankrupt that he must look to Dems for his ideas.
The worst part is that Howard Dean and various State Party leaders kept the new ideological leader of the Democratic Party, Frank Lynch, off the primary election ballots and out of the debates just because he is not a failed member of Congress like the candidates they put on the ballot.
Look for new ideas to lead our Party forward at http://www.franklynch.org including his Top Ten List on the lower portion of the first page.
Bahy of Indiana throws his hat in for VP. He is joining a long list of people that are seeking the position.
nice to see the Obama campaign is posting on our DNC PB blog and becoming part of the Blog!
Welcome!!!

This is for friends who must do what they must do. Read More »
I become so frustrated reading posts and comments that appear to me to belong on a social networking site.
I see real issue posts that don't seem to be read for the lack of comments oft times.
Then there are the racial slurs, lies, personal attacks...... that really makes me sad. These create a feeding frenzy and receive tons of comments.
I encourage you to ask yourself this. Am I here to promote myself or the issues I care about?
Can't we all agree to post issues and ways to build our Party as this site was intended to do? As Democrats we have a lot of work to do. Pick an issue or a lower level candidate to support. We have common ground. Let's concentrate on that.
To build our party we need people from every precinct to work for Democratic candidates from the bottom up. Did you know that only 37% of precints have a Democrat working the precinct? In many states and counties all that needs to be done is collecting 10 signatures and you are on the ballot and usually run unopposed. Since the primaries are over, your local township or County can appoint you until the next elections. Rules vary from township to county to state.
We will also be training on registering voters and raising money for the Democratic Party or local Dems running for office.
Most of the information provided in the training will be from Camp Wellstone. Here's the link to see what Camp Wellstone is:
http://www.wellstone.org/our-programs
Canvassing, working the phones, raising money, or running for a precinct position, it's up to you. Please join us and see where your busy schedule fits in.
Training will be conducted via gotomeetting.com and a toll free phone number. Power points and literature can be downloaded prior to training.
PM me if you are interested or have questions or just post your questions or comments here.
Looks like HRC will be campaigning with Obama. One of the sticking points is paying HRC's campaign debt which is now 30 million. No agreement has been reached so far. The campaigns are begining to work together.
HRC is said to be able to raise 100 million in the GE for Obama. IMHO, Obama and the DNC need to work to retire this debt. If not HRC will be on the trail speaking to pay it off. The time would be better utilized if she was campaigning for Obama.
I believe more then half of the debt is either the Clinton's loan to the campaign and owed to Mark Penn (over 10 million owed to him).

In the past, we were the envy of the world…for the infrastructure we have built. We corralled the great Mississippi and built levy’s to make it easier to live, work and play on the river. We built bridges and roads that were the envy of the world.
America’s infrastructure is becoming a national priority. Obama proposes spending millions on infrastructure.

Will we ‘get it right’ this time? Will we learn that Mother Nature will not yield indefinitely as we now see with the flooding in the Midwest? Will we learn from building in areas that are in the threat of Mother’s nature’s wrath?
Rebuilding will be costly. But, if we get it right this time, the cost of damages from our mistakes will be less. Human lives can be saved this despair.
Ok, you wanted to watch the comments...here is the link:

I had to give my phone number when I set up a profile. I would hate to be the person calling me from the GOP.
