In order to set ourselves apart from the Republicans when discussing the economy, we need to modify our rhetoric:
Instead of using the phrases "Wall Street" and "Main street" when discussing the economy, Obama should start using the phrase "Your Street"--i.e., "We can't just bail out 'Wall Street', we must also bail out 'Your Street'.
"Your Street" drives the point home that we're speaking to each individual, much more effectively. I'm certain that just that change alone would add to our lead in the polls.

What is the rule on campaign signs and if people are tearing them down?
Is there a limit to where I can post Obama signs?

What the heck is wrong with McBush. He attacks as the Republicans always do then tells a few supporters they should not then attacks again; Plain is on a seperate campaign attacking and scolding her own rally attendees (of course, inappropriately as they were not protesters but her own supporters who were asking her to speak louder -- hilarious that as she is told she still pretends to understand what just happened); and the campaign flunkies who attempt to use the concerns about their own supporters shouting death threats as some sort of attack on their supporters.
McBush should retract his recent attack on Congressman Lewis, too.
Though I will give McBush credit for one thing, he said that he has the Democrats and media just where he wants them right now. Good for him. Let's work harder to ensure that the turn out is high so he can enjoy election night the same way.

After months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.
Huh?
Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:
She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience. (1)
Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest. (2)
She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. (3)
Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools. (4)
She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change. (5) Read More »

Marketing has existed for as long as long can be. You could say that the snake in the biblical "Garden of Eden" was the first example of marketing. Then business required that people know of their product. No different than a political campaign. There is no doubt we expect the straight forward truth regarding the subject. The expectation often leads people putting their faith in that information.
So when I hear promises made by a campaign, I can't help but wonder to myself... by what Constitutional Authority do you suppose grants the executive a power to accomplish that? The truth is, there is no such power. Then why do Presidential Candidates run on such promises? I believe the answer is... Because if they don't meet those expectations, they can blame congress. If the 'other party' controls congress, it is warfare to take over seats in congress.
We need to stop listening to what programs they are going to offer, and find out more about what kind of person they are. You can find that out by asking questions.
If you ask a Republican if they believe in abortion, they will tell you "no, it's wrong, and there should be laws that make abortion illegal."
If you ask a Democrat if they believe in abortion, they will say, "I believe a woman has a right to choose, and no law should be passed violating that right."
Why don't we ask another questions.
Republicans & Democrats: Do you believe that the federal government has the power to take away a persons rights?
When a Bill of Rights was suggested and enumerated before congress, one comment made was that "The Constitution doesn't grant any power to restrict the freedom of the press." Nor does it grant any other power to restrict the actions of people.
So when congressman offer up bills to be passed into law, I think the phrase "& for other purposes" should be excluded from all bills. It means there are other provisions that aren't being discussed, and have nothing to do with the title of the Bill itself. They should also be required to state as part of the Bill the Constitutional Power that allows such a law to be passed. Any congressman opposing a bill should state any constitutional clause that forbids such a law to be passed. If you pass a bill contrary to the Constitution, then it was passed Unconstitutionally, since all laws must be made pursuant to the constitution, and bills contrary to the Constitution cannot have any affect and are immediately null and void, then why do we continue to allow ourselves to be kicked around?
Perhaps it's a lot like the beaten wife syndrome. After a while, we will protect the person inflicting the pain, and continue to blame ourselves for what has happened.
I will be in Okinawa for a few years and would like to do something to support Obama. Read More »
Yes, I will write-in Hillary no matter what the ballot will look like on the Election day. Please go on, Hillary!
I have created a new group exclusively for past, present, and future presidential candidates. Please join if you fit the category and invite others that also fit. Thanks-Larkin

While there have been allegations in the past of government investigation of mosques on issues relating to terrorism, the recent report, first featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper, is said to be the first confirmation that surveillance is taking place.
An article in the Los Angeles Times (May 29) reports that information about the alleged spying surfaced in a case about classified files concerning terrorism that were stolen from a secure office used by military and civilian law enforcement officials at Camp Pendleton. Some of these classified records referred to the surveillance of Muslim communities in Southern California, specifically, the Islamic Center of San Diego. The records alleged that the mosque had been monitored as part of a federal surveillance program targeting Muslim groups, according to the Union-Tribune article. Read More »

The U.S. Justice Department is considering a change in the grounds on which the FBI can investigate citizens and legal residents of the United States. Till now, DOJ guidelines have required the FBI to have some evidence of wrongdoing before it opens an investigation. The impending new rules, which would be implemented later this summer, allow bureau agents to establish a terrorist profile or pattern of behavior and attributes and, on the basis of that profile, start investigating an individual or group. Agents would be permitted to ask "open-ended questions" concerning the activities of Muslim Americans and Arab-Americans. A person's travel and occupation, as well as race or ethnicity, could be grounds for opening a national security investigation.
The rumored changes have provoked protests from Muslim American and Arab-American groups. The Council on American Islamic Relations, among the more effective lobbies for Muslim Americans' civil liberties, immediately denounced the plan, as did James Zogby, the president of the Arab-American Institute. Said Zogby, "There are millions of Americans who, under the reported new parameters, could become subject to arbitrary and subjective ethnic and religious profiling." Zogby, who noted that the Bush administration's history with profiling is not reassuring, warned that all Americans would suffer from a weakening of civil liberties. Read More »

The campaign sent out this email this morning...
Friend --
Barack Obama recorded a video message with an important announcement that he wanted you to hear first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snsnqbq_OCo
We have made a crucial decision that will impact how we compete in the general election, and it's important that you understand the decision, its implications, and the challenge ahead.
Please take a moment to watch the video.
Thank you,
Obama for America

I have been an Obama supporter starting from before he became popular. Just as I had predicted Barack’s current success I have recently predicted that the cost of oil and it’s effects would become priority number one with
voters. And it will, trust me! We must be willing to, while giving as much attention to environmental concerns as reasonably possible, explore for oil, coal, and natural gas immediately. We must retrieve and process our fossil fuels as soon as we can while frantically developing alternative energy sources with which to power our industry, motor vehicles and homes. Unfortunately, Mr. Bush and Mr. McCain have beaten Barack and the rest of our party to this unavoidable common sense approach. Barack will ultimately loss the election if he does not realize and act on the fact that our economy is presently and for the near future entirely dependant upon affordable and available fossil fuels and their derivatives. If we don’t act now we may not have the ability to research and develop the needed technologies to make us independent of these fossil fuels. The looming energy crises will put us into the basic survival mode, and the means for such activities will not be available as they currently are. Unless Barack and the rest of the Democrats get on board, the Republicans will continue to run things. Why can’t the Democratic party use some common sense. Why is it always one extreme or the other? It's embarrassing. To the Democrats I beg,… Please wake up??????? We need to get our nation back!
I am a white 61 year old Vietnam vet and a retired building trades union supervisor who retired out of the engineering department at my last job. I am just trying to say many smart common sense people like myself (all races and colors) who want Barack to win and to have a couple of successful terms in office are very concerned that he has not picked up on this. I share many of his views and would like to see a prosperous period where we are not so preoccupied with the fossil fuel crises that we can't implement the needed policies etc. I pray for the sake of our party that Barack and the rest of the party quickly become aware of the gravity closing the door to the immediate pursuit of our reserves will have. This is one of the few mistakes we can make that will allow the Republicans to stay in office, and we are very likely currently making it.

Hello again. You might want to read the previous posts before this one. I'd just like to take the opportunity to ask that my supporters spread the word about my presidential campaign for the election in 2032. If this confuses you at all, read my previous posts. Please tell me, by the way, where you posted any information regarding my campaign if you did so on the internet, as it is important that we can keep track. This is also an invitation to everyone to join the support group.
http://atlanticfreepress.com/content/view/4016/32/ Source: Atlantic Free Press Author: Stephen Lendman Yassin Aref is a 37 year old Albany, New York resident and one of many Muslim victims of police state justice in post-9/11 America. They've been hunted down, rounded up, held in detention, kept in isolation, denied bail, restricted in their right to counsel, tried on secret evidence and trumped-up charges, then incarcerated as political prisoners or deported to where they face possible arrest and torture. Because of his faith and ethnicity, Aref was victimized by US "justice" in a post-9/11 climate of fear. He's an Iraqi Kurd who emigrated to the US as a UN refugee in 1999 with his wife and three young children. He's now in federal prison but committed no crime. He's also the author of a poignant memoir/autobiography titled "Son of Mountains: My Life as a Kurd and a Terror Suspect." He wrote it in custody at Troy, New York's Rensselaer County Jail after his wrongful conviction in October 2006. Read More »
http://www.pe.com/localnews/rivcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_C_muslim30.426eaa8.html Source: Press-Enterprise Author: Paige Austin A civil-rights group and a coalition of Muslim activists headed by a Corona man called on Congress this week to investigate a report that military and law enforcement officials stole surveillance records of Southland Muslims from Camp Pendleton. The request stems from a news report that military officials and law enforcement members of the Los Angeles County Terrorist Early Warning Group illegally took the top-secret documents from the base's Strategic Technical Operations Center. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Marine Gunnery Sgt. Gary Maziarz has been court-martialed and convicted for his role in the thefts. While the details of the surveillance and the alleged theft remain largely unknown, the incident provides confirmation that the military and law enforcement groups have been gathering information about local Muslim communities, said Michael German, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington Legislative Office.
