Health-care REFORM…what is real-what is not? the Obama crew needs to step-up & out to 50 States-get the truth out there


The MEDIA needs to stop catering to the scare tactics by the Right and Insurers … stop showing commercials that are not fact based.

the President’s people need to get out there, start doing town-halls because people are listening and reading the mis-information … as the truth.

There are fifty (50) states and someone needs to dispatch folks to get the right word out there … these advertisements are getting through to people… and while the President is definitely a cool person … the people working for him need to step it up …

keeping quiet is not going to work … people are getting riled up

Vice President Biden says


in my opinion …


Sotomayor was the best pick our President could have chosen… she has a great story, her qualifications are undeniable …
we all need to stand with Sotomayor and support her by …
calling your Sentor … write a letter to your local Editor

the current smear campaign by the likes of liddy, c rove, newt, r limbaugh, cheney and others regarding Sonia Sotomayor being a racist or the real meaning of la raza ? is  absurd…
it should open our eyes to the crap being spread around by the right.

Referendum 71


A Note from Dan Savage:

We need to take a stand for equality.

All of us. In Washington, committed same-sex couples and their families now enjoy the same legal protections granted to married couples under state law. The radical right just filed a referendum—Referendum 71—to repeal many of those protections and benefits.

In Washington,  today, we need everyone who believes in equality to take a stand for civil rights and decline to sign the Referendum 71 petitions. Especially straight people.

Everyone.

Opponents of equality need more than 120,000 signatures to place this referendum on the ballot.

Please join thousands of people across Washington in saying no to discrimination by pledging: “I decline to sign!” Please put your name on our pledge not to sign this referendum. Then forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign as well.
