He said "OK" and took my name and city. Everyone PLEASE CALL and STOP this from passing! 202-225-3611

Re Elect No One.

Everyone has an opinion so here is mine. I welcome and encourage feedback on this idea.

I am a liberal in most things and a registered democrat. However that does not mean I believe anyone who is a politician and a democrat is a good public servant. In the past ten years both D's & R's have increasingly sold out their seats to the highest bidder to fund campaigns, leaving those they swore their oath of office to server, "We the People" flowing in the wind.

There are many reasons this happend. It is more about power than greed on the part of the elected party but ALL about greed on the part of those big corporations handing over money by the basket full to get their "man/woman" in office. And they expect, and get, something in return for their money.

On January 25, 2008 I announced my candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives in the VA 4th Congressional District as a Democrat.

Currently, I am working on collecting 1500 signatures to satisfy the ballot access requirement. We need volunteers to help gather signatures as well as do literature drops and assist with fundraising.

My primary issues are:

• Impeach Cheney/Bush
• Single Payer National Healthcare (HR 676)
• Restore Constitutional Law
• Repeal the Patriot Act
• Cancel NAFTA/WTO
• "Green Jobs" and "Green Energy"
• Worker's Rights
• Full Equality Marriage Rights
• Fair Taxes
• End the Death Penalty

A new report on the August 30 incident in which six nuclear-armed advanced cruise missiles were effectively “lost” for 36 hours, during which time they were, against all regulations, flown in launch position mounted on a pylon on the wing of a B-52H Stratofortress, from Minot AFB in North Dakota across the continental US to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, has left unanswered some critical questions about the event.

Directed by retired Air Force Gen. Larry D. Welch, the task force’s Report on the Unauthorized Movement of Nuclear Weapons found plenty wrong with the way the US military handles its nuclear weapons, but appears to have dealt lightly with the specific incident that sparked the inquiry—only giving it a few paragraphs.

Here's the LINK to watch Bill Moyers' introduction report on Impeachment with John Nichols and Bruce Fein.

To watch the discussion with John Nichols and Bruce Fein, LINK and tap "Watch video." There's a second part, too.

According to Gallop's Confidence in Institutions survey, Americans' approval of Congress is at an all-time low, 14%.

I could be wrong, but I bet it has something to do with the American public, who favor impeachment for Bush at 46% and for Cheney at 58%, being FED UP with a bunch of politicians who are too busy sucking on the corporate lobbyists' teats than to do their sworn, constitutional duty.

U.S. Senate panel moves to cut off funding for Cheney in flap with Dems over executive order

WASHINGTON: Senate Democrats moved Tuesday to cut off funding for U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's office in a continuing battle over whether he must comply with national security disclosure rules.

A Senate appropriations panel chaired by Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin refused to fund $4.8 million in the vice president's budget until Cheney's office complies with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information.

At issue is a requirement that executive branch offices provide data on how much material they classify and declassify. That information is to be provided to the Information Security Oversight Office at The National Archives.

Is Governor Freudenthal (D-WY) actually required to pick a Republican to replace Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY)?

State law says so, but it may violate the U.S. Constitution. So says University of California law professor Vikram Amar writing for findlaw.com. Professor Amar is also a former clerk to Justice Harry Blackmun.

You will also find a sample letter there to send to Governor Freudenthal to ask him to consider all of his options.
