The plan, regardless of whose changes are applied to it, is still a short term reaction to a long term problem.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be liquidated. Government caused the problem. Throwing tax dollars down the toilet fixes othing.
This plan will destroy what is left of our economy.
We need a totally different long term plan to cure our totally messed up economy.

Standing tall with Barack Obama I pray our man of the people will get elected to bring all Americans back to the fore front of economic stability. I've shared Obama's message with many business aquaintances and friends, where and when appropriate, to present my support for Senator Obama. I'v spread blog postings touting the Obama message throughout the web. I've even been placing my words of praise for Obama on some conservative sites, doing so in hopes of reaching even one additional voter, sometimes receiving hatemail in return. I've written to those who may not even be registered voters in hopes they'll care about this election for they should. I've also written to those I know living in swing states whom might be persuaded to Vote the Obama-Biden ticket and I am not finished yet.
The Revolution is NOW! The time for action is NOW! And as 60's poet and musical artist Gil Scott Heron so aptly conveyed, the revolution is happening now and it will not be televised. The revolution is in my heart and mind and I urge each of you to move this forward at a period in our history where we can not afford to give way to more
government by and for big business. If you have not already, please join the revolution! We have much work to do. And please pray for the 12,000 former employees of Lehman Bros that they may whether the storm...

Dear Barack Obama,
The jobless rate went up yesterday to 6.1% nationally with a loss of 84,000 jobs... Here in California that number is even higher on the whole. Los Angeles for example has an 8.1% unemployment rate and the state is at 7.1%. People are loosing their homes. I sympathize cause I've already lost mine and my wife and I are coming out of bankruptcy.
I watch all the news stations and saw you somewhere out in what appeared to be western Pennsylvania talking about the poor jobs report...What I didn't see was a follow-up in that same excerpt, that same couple of sentences, about how you are going to put America back to work. Please tell us. We want to believe!
As you well know this election is close. It might very well be won on 'sound bites' that those not so close to the news cycle will be following... You must be tired, you look tired...I know I would be if I were you but we've got less than 60 days to win this election. I believe in you and what your team will do to take this country back for the people and what you and your team will do to unite the electorate. Please find the strength within and the energy to get more aggressive on the economy. I grew up in the Pennsylvania Dutch country and lived in the suburbs outside Detroit Michigan as well, two key battleground areas. The people want to believe. You are the candidate of hope and change! Please hit the eonomy harder and lead us all back to greater prosperity.
Sincerely,
A concerned American and a strong believer in you

If you saw John McCain's speech you like I heard no mention of economic policies to bring jobs back to this great nation, no real health-care reform for those with skyrocketing costs or perhaps as with many friends of mine, no health-care insurance period. He did talk about removing barriers for Corporations doing business in the US, no trade restrictions for business(which will result in more lost jobs as McCain would push for the South American Free Trade Agreement to be put into law), privitization of Social Security, elimination of Unemployment Insurance as we know it (eluding to the unemployed being given menial jobs before paying them the unemployment money they themselves paid into the fund)and a drill drill drill rhetoric.
The latest McCain campaign strategy is to paint the Obama-Biden ticket as being "on the fringe". We must, each of us refocus this election on the economy and other issues at hand! I urge each of you to reach out and write to a friend in a battleground or red state letting them know the facts. Let's put Amercia back to work and restore our standing of prestige in the world order!

All men are created equal unless they love other men...
And women aren't equal at all since unlike men they can't decide what to do with their own bodies.
And Sarah Palin according to John McBush doesn't deserve to earn as much money Dick Cheney.
Tell John that unless ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL NO ONE IS EQUAL.
Union: A harm to one is a harm to all
MLK: Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere
Donate to Obama now give as much as you can as often as you can we are truly in the fight of our lives.

I've watched all the RNC attack dogs speak this evening during the Republican Convention. After Sarah Palin's speech energizing their base with vicious attacks on Barack Obama, the smear and several factual inacuracies have been duly noted. 'Sarah the Barracuda' as she was known in high school, has bitten us all and this deed will not be forgotten!
Sarah Palin was FOR the 'Bridge to Nowhere' before Congress told her state, Alaska would have to pay for the project. As Mayor, Sarah Palin hired a consultant to bring earmarks to her city when she's publicly claimed to be against earmarks. Sara Palin has not even traveled outside the US until last year and she managed to leave office with the city of Wasilla in debt (perhaps better spoken of as an 8,000-10,000 person town rather than city). I've even heard she attempted to fire a librarian who refused to ban some books at the library not to mention the current 'trooper gate' scandal. And not to mention, I haven't even touched on her far right Creationist views including no sex education whatsoever in the class room other than abstinence. It resulted in her 17 year old having a child out of wedlock so like it or not it's news.
What we as Democrats truly can benefit from is to get Sarah Palin in front of a camera speaking her true views in an unscripted atmosphere. She was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live but the McCain campaign canceled her appearance for fear of this very thing.
The time has come to step into the ring. There is no room for error. We must keep our attacks to arguments that make sense to swing voters, independents and Republicans on the fence. I'd like you to remember one thing and that's McCain and Palin = MP and that spells Military Police which is not good for my America!

You don't want her as your next VP!
During Gustav and possibly as Hannah follows we're at a Crossroads. How do our candidates look Presidential while not appearing to politicize the situation? How do we as not only Democrats but as Americans help those in need during this time? How do we as Democrats counter the RNC and the tone of their convention? Our future as a nation is in peril under a McCain-Palin ticket. I pray for the safety of all Americans and for our candidates to be given wisdom to make the right decisions during these trying times. I'll be gathering my attack material and holding it close to the vest till the storm passes. God bless the USA!
After witnessing an incredible convention we must now retire to the War Room and strategize! The RNC know that their convention couldn't come close so McCain will probably give his acceptance speech from the gulf coast region to appear Presidential. We must counteract the effects... If Barack Obama rolls up his sleeves and arrives in the region it might help but seeing a mulitude of Obama T-shirt wearing volunteers pitching in feeding those in the path of the storm and rebuilding the area is our best offense and our defense. Obama contributing personal funds could steal some RNC thunder as well. Now is the time to think smart and react swiftly and decisively.
We must use our response to their convention to praise their concern for the country and more so our party's action during this disaster. We must appear as the party of action and they of talk. The convention itself is a moot point.
McCain's age must be addressed indirectly and not by the campaign itself. We need to come out with both barrels blazing yet utilizing a silencer. Sara Palin's extreme right wing views must be addressed indirectly a as well and not by the campaign itself.
Remember the hare is quick and experienced, exuding confidence. It is the tortoise though that takes the time to think through the task at hand, moves forward continually, exudes patience and inner calm. Displaying a keen sense of awareness, it is he who wins the race.

Democrats come in all sizes and shapes, we like different types of foods and hold jobs and social standing in all sectors of society. As a Democrat there is one truth I hold in my heart and that is to use the party to better the plight of mankind, starting right here in the USA! And I think we can agree that as Democrats we believe that all the people should be heard, not just those in the highest points of industry or those whose choice of religion or sexual orientation we agree with. And I believe that being a Democrat is not about filling your pockets with gold but to be able to look yourself in the mirror each and every morning with pride cause you believe in a better world for all people and you're ready to do something about it! What is being a Democrat mean to you?
I received an email today that was supposedly written in humor touting the beefeating providers as Conservatives and the weak as Liberals. The email which was written as a humorous tribute to the chest beating right dragging their women across the floor and spouting 'we're the choosen ones' was built on three concepts. 1) The first one is that all liberals are weak and will gladly lay down for those on the other side to walk on, 2)that being creative and in possession of a creative mind is a weakness and 3)and this third one is implied but states that all Democrats are liberal.
I was watching cable the other day and Henry Rollins, a punk rock music artist with a power lifters body, who by the way, is also a poet and actor was the host. Rollins was the first and only television host I've seen who actually voiced that he was a liberal and ready to kick some ass as opposed to laying on the highway awaiting tire tracks. What a concept I thought, liberals who are not afraid to stand up and be counted, use a firm handshake and look down the barrel of a conservative's gun with one that has a bigger barrel!
Secondly, the right's conservative Corporate generals are for the most part working only to put great wealth in their own pockets and more mindless consumers on the street. The creative community for the most part are creating "thinkers". "Thinkers" consume but not without reading the label.
Thirdly, as you know all Democrats are not liberal and that's what makes the world a great place cause we need a balance of ideas from all sides to keep America great. Of course some Dems aren't really Democrats but virtual wolves in sheeps clothing and yes, I am speaking about Joe Liberman but that's another subject altogether.
In closing, I say stand up and be counted, stay true to your heart and we'll see a sea of blue in November!
