Obama to expand Bush's faith based programs
By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 40 minutes ago

ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Reaching out to religious voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called for expanding President Bush's program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — supported some ability to hire and fire based on faith.
Obama unveiled his approach to getting religious charities more involved in government anti-poverty programs during a tour and remarks Tuesday at Eastside Community Ministry, which provides food, clothes, youth ministry and other services.
"The challenges we face today ... are simply too big for government to solve alone," Obama said.
Obama's announcement is part of a series of events leading up to Friday's Fourth of July holiday that are focused on American values. ...

Watch a video of local churches working to conserve energy at http://tulsaworld.com/videos
..From recycling to energy efficiency to remodeling, more churches in the Tulsa area are looking to be leading caretakers of the Earth, said Cheryl Cheadle, the area's coordinator for Blue Thumb, an Oklahoma Conservation educational program.
"It is very easy to live in the situation at hand, when resources are very affordable now," Cheadle said. "Many people are accepting that reality — that our actions have a global impact." ...
"I think it's a real basis of mindful and spiritual practices of taking care of the plant and taking care of each other," Ihloff said. "We want people to just pick it up one step at a time."
Through these efforts, local churches are creating new meanings for "dominion" and "stewardship" for congregations, Huffstetler said.
"Our concept of creation is that it is a gift, and that we are not the owners," she said. "There's been a misunderstanding of the Biblical word 'dominion,' which is a scriptural word, but we've interpreted it as 'domination.' I think dominion is, again, an aspect of stewardship, of being good stewards, to have a care for the entire creation."
Plus, taking care of the environment just feels good, Cheadle said.
"When you get people working together for the good of the Earth, that's when you make a difference," she said. ..

A JOURNALIST’S FIRST RESPONSIBILITY:
TO PROTECT HIS FAVORED CANDIDATE, OR THE PEOPLE’S RIGHT TO KNOW?
As anyone who has regularly read my column is fully aware, I’ve been one of Barack Obama’s most fervent supporters since hours after he first declared his intention to seek the presidency, and I continue to support that effort. But I was bitterly disappointed with the position he’s taken on the FISA bill now before the U.S. Senate, and I’ve been quite vociferous in making that disappointment known to all who would listen.
On June 20th Senator Barack Obama announced that he was supporting the current FISA bill before the senate. That bill gives retroactive immunity to all telecommunications companies against all private law suits for cooperating with the Bush administration’s program of spying on the American people without a court order, as currently required by current law.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton and Barack Obama talked by phone Monday morning, representatives of both sides said, as the Democrats sought to quash rumors that Clinton holds a grudge against the man who knocked his wife out of contention for the party's presidential nomination. Obama called Clinton and they spoke for about 20 minutes Monday morning, the Obama campaign told CNN. Clinton wants to campaign "with and for" Obama after the hard-fought primary campaign between Obama and Hillary Clinton, Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said. Clinton "renewed his offer to do whatever he can to ensure Sen. Obama is our next president."

Did His Dream Die TO???????
Sen. Barack Obama will make his first campaign appearance with Sen. Hillary Clinton on Friday.
Their joint appearance will be at a rally in Unity, New Hampshire, a small town on the state's western border where the two candidates tied in the January primary.
"It is not only well-named, but in the New Hampshire primary both of us received exactly 107 votes," Clinton said Thursday in Washington. "So it pretty much mirrored the rest of the campaign, where it was right down the middle."
Clinton and Obama endured a protracted and, at times, fierce primary season. After months of divisive contests that took them through every state, the two are now focused on uniting their party in order to defeat the Republicans in November.

The AFL-CIO today endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president.
The AFL-CIO General Board, which voted to endorse Obama, includes presidents of all 56 unions in the AFL-CIO, as well as Executive Council members and representatives of state and local federations, trade departments and constituency groups. The General Board votes by per capita membership. In conjunction with the endorsement, the AFL-CIO launched a new website: Meet Barack Obama.
http://www.aflcio.org/issues/politics/obama.cfm
In its endorsement statement, the General Board noted that Sen. Barack Obama "secured the nomination of his party in a campaign that has energized millions of Americans and spoken to the hopes and dreams of people from every corner of our nation."
His leadership can re-engage disenfranchised Americans and bring our country together. Sen. Obama has advocated a change of direction for our nation that mirrors the priorities of the labor movement.
In announcing the endorsement today, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said, "Barack Obama has proven from his days as an organizer, to his time in the Senate and his historic run for the presidency, that he’s leading the fight to turn around America." Saying, as a champion for working families, Obama...
knows what it’s going to take to create an economy that works for everyone, not just Big Oil, Big Pharma, the insurance companies, the giant mortgage lenders, speculators and the very wealthy. We’re proud to stand with Sen. Obama to help our nation chart a course that will improve life for generations of working people and our children.
Obama has vowed to fight for working families and for an economy that works for all—and he has the record to prove it. As a church-based community organizer, Obama assisted those affected by closing steel mills. As a state senator in Illinois, he sponsored legislation to expand health care and protect overtime pay. As a U.S. senator, Obama has earned a 98 percent lifetime rating from the AFL-CIO. And all along, he’s marched on picket lines and rallied with striking workers.

Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Senator Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
That's why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today on my personal fundraising page. I have a goal of $3,000 to raise in a few weeks:

The past couple of weeks have been especially difficult when it comes to McCain flip-flops.
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15924.html
* McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he's against it.
* McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.
* McCain thought Bush's warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.
* McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)
Wait, I'm not done with the last two weeks yet...
