Here is a video that will get you ALL Fired Up!
Now after we win this thing, I am curious to see how these electronic communication facilities set up to engage voters will help us to achieve these lofty goals we've articulated to all modern Americans citizens? Will we get text messages when an important bill comes to the floor of the Senate? Will still see community events and opportunities to volunteer offered to all? Will we get videos from Obama urging us to do this or that?
To step up by communicating and working in concert with each other for common causes is imperative in any revolution. To truly band together as brothers and sisters always offered escape from top down divisive models to more cooperative and equal social forms. Look what they did on horseback and sailboat! We can build, restore, renovate, recreate together like Amish on a barn!
It's still the election and We have our challenges
I'm in Blue Eastern Pennsylvania! About Red Western Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha addressed the issue of race rather bluntly said that there are still folks who have a problem voting for someone because they are black older people who don't want too much change too fast. How did McCain respond? McCain was McCampaigning in Moon, PA he said "Senator Obama supporters are saying some pretty nasty things about Western Pensylvania and you know, I couldn't agree with them more. I couldn't disagree with you".... and then repeats the words God and patriotic and great until they clap. Even Cindy looked dismayed. I'm not kidding. Check it out, here.
Long live the Revolution!

Sarah Palin Interview with Katie Couric:

I cannot believe I could not find the words to share my thoughts on Joe Biden as our VP. Honestly, I was very disappointed and I had to really dig down deep to figure out what I was more disappointed about. I remember that night around 12ish I saw on the internet that it was leaked, somewhere between 2-3 am if I remember correctly I got my txt from the campaign making it official. BLAH! REALLY??? Is that the best we could have as a choice? THE VERY BEST? Was Gen Wesley Clark too busy or did Hilary go out of town? L The choice was pretty darn obvious to me; he should have picked Hilary Clinton. She deserved more than anyone else did. That would have seriously united the party like no other and secured the votes for a sure fire win. I know some of you might be shocked by saying this, but seriously, if Obama did not receive the nomination I would be working just as hard for her to win as president. With no reservation, I would be right in the front lines as I am for Barack. I spoke on my first experience of meeting him and was taken back from his attitude. I can only do my best to trust in his decision in his pick for VP. Sometimes things aren’t always what they seem and I hope that Joe Biden steps up to the plate, because he has some HUGE shoes to fill; since its going to take a lot for me to be convinced that he is a better choice than Hilary.
For easy reference, I thought I'd post the upcoming debate schedule here, as it is hard to find anywhere else in the Obama site.
First presidential debate:Friday, September 26University of Mississippi, Oxford, MS
Vice presidential debate:Thursday, October 2Washington University in St. Louis, MO
Second presidential debate:Tuesday, October 7Belmont University, Nashville, TN
Third presidential debate:Wednesday, October 15Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY
Greetings from Philadelphia to all my brothers and sisters in the fight to get this country sane and happy again. The price of liberty is vigilance. The appointment of Carol Wheeler for Irish Outreach Contact? Sorry, but I liked Samantha Powers much better. This smacks of a political meat-bone thrown to a wealthy influential Washingtonian Friend of Bill and Hill.
The very first platform of this campaign was the vow that this country will not be beholden to the wealthy donor or corporate business interests, but to us, the little donor/activist/citizen. Our access to the contact information of all these appointees is crucial and we need to hold them accountable.
If she is smart and really is onboard with the Obama vision of transparency, no outreach with expensive celebrity parties or getting a Dublin flat until we are reached and consulted. I don't want to see her take some fathead elected official out to dinner until she has something that we Americans of Irish Decent want her to say. Instead of guessing or polling us to death, we could communicate to our representatives in ways that work toward solutions. Outlay our concerns and confess our love be able to find the right person to work with in the government to make it all better.
It's like we're the Who's in Whoville down here! Listen to us, we want and need to know that we are heard and welcomed into finding solutions. Americans are clever and goodhearted, we can make it all better.
It's free, it stars Dewayne Woods, Micah Stampley and Antwaun Stanley, and it's for Barack!
