And of course, drop by and say hi, at any of the Vote for Change visibility displays.

We should be setting up visibility displays at Aquatic Park on the 4th; and at two locations on Fillmore Street, at the California Street and Sutter Street stages on the 5 th and 6 th.

Hi everyone,

I have $25,000 worth of concert equipment, which we can use for Benefits.

I have everything we would need for a concert for up to 2,500 people.

For a complete list of equipment, please visit the following link:

Christian Site's Ban on 'G' Word Sends Homosexual to Olympics
By Mary Ann Akers
July 1, 2008
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/07/christian_sites_ban_on_g_word.html

The American Family Association obviously didn't foresee the problems that might arise with its strict policy to always replace the word "gay" with "homosexual" on the Web site of its Christian news outlet, OneNewsNow. The group's automated system for changing the forbidden word wound up publishing a story about a world-class sprinter named "Tyson Homosexual" who qualified this week for the Beijing Olympics.

The problem: Tyson's real last name is Gay. Therefore, OneNewsNow's reliable software changed the Associated Press story about Tyson Gay's amazing Olympic qualifying trial to read this way:

Thanks to all the Joplin for Hillary supporters and volunteers. We love you and Hillary loves you. The primary season is over. And, as Hillary said in suspending her campaign, "This isn't the party I planned, but I sure like the company."

Please join our Obama and other Democratic friends as we gear up for the fall campaign. We stand ready to put a Democrat back in the White House and that Democrat is Barack Obama. Joplin for Hillary is part of a united Democratic Party with a fresh burst of life and and a general election to win. Can we do it? YES, WE CAN!

Please sign up to volunteer, donate, and follow the campaign with us.

Hi everyone,

First, I want to take a moment to thank the volunteers that came out today. All of you were great. Thank you so much.

We distributed around 350 buttons. The crowd at the Ferry Building was exceptionally large, due to the 2 concerts going on in the area. The Vote for Change displays were setup right in front of the Ferry Building at the cross walk, from 8 am to 2 pm, and I believe visibility averaged about 5K per hour, for a total of about 30K. So we all did a great job today.

Vote for Change visibility event(s): Progressive-Alliance.org is looking for volunteers, for the following Vote for Change visibility event(s). Volunteers are asked to cover 1 hour shifts; but of course, 2 hours would be great. The objectives are visibility, voter and volunteer outreach, and voter registration.

Students for Change: Progressive-Alliance.org is looking for San Francisco State University students and UC Berkeley students, to whom a Vote for Change display, buttons, lapel stickers, and window signs will be provided; with the understanding that all donations received, will be used for a Free Campus Concert for Change at their campus and future visibility efforts in Nevada or New Mexico. Ideally students should be able to provide 1 hour of visibility, between 11am & 1pm, on their quad, once a week.

Benefit Concerts for Change: Progressive-Alliance.org is also looking for volunteers, students, and student groups; to help organize Benefit Concerts for Change; which will benefit participating student groups in Nevada and New Mexico.

Please see the following link for the Vote for Change display, with Obama 08’ signs, and supporting material:

Individuals, who are interested in volunteering, should email me the time slot they would like to volunteer for, and their phone #, so I can call them and coordinate schedules.

21 months ago we formed a “527” Pac to use as a vehicle to fund our organization and Progressive Issues and Candidates. We had a hope that there would be some large donors step forth to contribute towards the maintenance of our programs and sites. This has not happened. For that matter neither have the small donations. There have been a few but not enough to maintain an office and pay the bills.   Read More »
Hi everyone,

Republicans have bankrupted America, to the tune of $100,000 per person, and we can’t afford 4 more years of their negligence.

I want to help produce benefit concerts to help get Barack Obama elected.

I have $25,000 worth of concert equipment, and I’m willing to put up the money to fund the events, with the understanding that all net proceeds go to fund visibility efforts locally, then in Nevada and New Mexico.

If anyone is interested in helping produce the benefits, please email me at:

Paul @ progressive-alliance.org

Lets step up to the plate and get Barack Obama elected.

Sincerely,

Paul Warnow

Can you say Republican Recession?

Bush, & the Republican party, lied to justify going to war, and McCain supported him all the way.

Bush, & Republican polices, pushed the Total Debt from $7 Trillion, to $15 Trillion in Debt War costs; which is $100,000 per person when amortized over 30 years at 5%.

Bush, & Republican polices, pushed the cost of oil to $140 a barrel.

Bush, & Republican polices, pushed gas prices over $4 a gallon.

Bush, & Republican polices, caused America to lose 300,000 jobs since Nov 2007.

Bush, & Republican polices, pushed America into a Recession.

It is time to call it what it is, a Republican Recession.

50,000+ Americans injured. A
4+ Millions innocent Iraqi men, women, and children displaced. B
$9 Trillion in total current debt,
$800 Billion estimated debt for 2008.
