“Some people like to give and don’t particularly like their names to be disclosed… so we’ll take that into consideration.” Those are the actual words that came out of President Bush’s mouth. He plans on taking money from people and from corporations, while President, and not disclosing where the money is coming from.

Barack Obama Focuses On Restoring the Constitution
February 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments
It seems that Obama is setting up one important foundation of his experience as a campaign asset: His experience as a professor in constitutional law. I just don’t hear John McCain, or Hillary Clinton for that matter, talk about the need to restore constitutional rights in the way that Barack Obama does. It’s no wonder that Senator Dodd chose Barack Obama to endorse.
Who Are the Hillary Responders? Progressive Patriots They Aren’t.

John McCain said of corporate lobbyists that “they’re honorable people, and I’m proud to have them as part of my team”. Sending John McCain to clean up Washington D.C. is like using a dirty diaper to wash the kitchen floor.

Basics: Why You Should Worry About the FISA Amendments Act
February 18th, 2008 · No Comments
The FISA Amendments Act gives the government the power to send spies to search your home or office while you are gone, without any search warrant, without any judicial approval at all, and never tell you that they were there. Again, if the FISA Amendments Act becomes law you won’t have to even be suspected of a crime. The government will be able to search your home for no reason at all, or for political reasons, or because you’re gay, or because you’re African-American, or because you’re not a member of the right religion, or just because somewhere in the government there is somebody who doesn’t like you.

February 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment
These Democratic Party senators have lost the support of progressive Democrats. Not only will we no longer support these senators for re-election, we will oppose them. We will do whatever we can, within the law, to make sure that they are not re-elected.

John Shadegg Ends His Waste of a Congressional Career
February 12th, 2008 · No Comments
I read in this morning’s news that Arizona Republican Congressman John Shadegg won’t be running for re-election this fall. Shadegg’s decision to step down is a merciful act of political euthanasia that will end the suffering of Americans under his long-ill vision of politics and policy.
A review of John Shadegg’s legislative record for just […]

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments
The Bush White House is illegally delaying the polar bear decision by the EPA until after big oil corporations are able to buy leases in the Chukchi Sea, prime polar bear habitat, at rock bottom prices in an auction scheduled for today.
