Back in 1991 I had the pleasure of running a campaign for a guy named Gatewood Galbraith. He was an issues candidate who wanted to legalize Marijuana.
Back then that wasn't popular to say much less support for public office but that didn't stop Gatewood.
He went on to become a Kentucky legend. Perennial candidate for Governor, an author as well as attorney and was one hell of a nice guy.
Gatewood passed away just after the first of this year after completing yet another unsuccessful run for the governors office, never realizing his dream of seeing cannabis legal in his home state of Kentucky. So in his memory state Senator Perry Clark has introduced a bill to do just that.
Please help us make Gatewoods dream a reality and sign our petition to the general assemble and the governor of Kentucky. Thank you

My wife recently purchased this cute little Christmas tea-candle holder from our local WalMart. In a weak moment she had gone down to cash a check and decided to buy something. Here is a picture of the bottom with the upc code and description. Note the WalMart made in China proudly displayed on the bottom. Sam Walton would be rolling in his grave about now.

Was it our Cairo moment? Hardly. But it was something that moved this individual and it inspired me to write this piece.

This is a story about what dedicated people can accomplish when they put their minds and resources together to get things done. It's the power of the internet in getting folks together and how their efforts can spark a movement.

This all started when like minded people got together on a facebook page. As Kentuckians we came together originally on one or another hate Rand Paul fb pages and when the campaign was over we wanted to keep in touch so one of the ladies on board started our little group. Kentucky C-Span; This is our story.

Ever have that come up on your caller ID. It's PNC bank, or at least the people who collect for PNC bank. My car payment was due December 27, 2009 and they have been calling almost hourly starting 2 days ago. They start at 9:30am and they won't stop till 9:00 pm. You may be wondering how I know it's them, it's because I've talked to them when they've called. That doesn't matter to them though because no matter what deal I make they will call back once or twice before the date that I set with them so I don't answer anymore.

Just one in a million but you put them all together and you have a health care system severely broken.

My wife is sitting on the couch in our living room. She has what's known as a pic line in her arm. That's a small plastic tube that goes into her blood vein and once a day someone brings her an antibiotic that she will have to learn to administer to herself. in order to save money, through an IV.

She was released this past Saturday after a 10 day stay at the hospital and she will have to spend approx 2 hours a day for the next month hooked up to this IV in order to get well or at least get things stabilized so they know how to treat her.

I am so pissed. There was no need to make jokes, I'm sick of people making jokes about smoking pot. To him, and his audience, it's a big laugh. What does that say about your online audience Mr President? Your online audience got you elected, your on line audience contributed to your campaign and your online audience will put you out of office too.

If you can't see the handwriting on the wall with this one then sit home and let us do the dirty work...again, however this has got to be addressed if the working man is ever going to have a voice or even stand a chance again.

The article below exemplifies the corruption in campaign finance reform. What these companies are talking is a conspiracy to control our elections by cutting off funds to get people elected. We, the working class, need a strong EFCA to level the playing field, the only thing we don't have, to assure our voice is heard, is the money being bantered around by those businesses who don't have our best interest at heart.

For over a month now Change.org has been running an ideas contest. The contest consisted of members entrys for best idea and the winning ten ideas would be taken to President Obama.

The contest was officially over at 5:00pm January 15th. At that time an issue I felt very strongly about was well in the lead despite a last minute effort by Congressman Kucinich to try and get himself elected to Peace Secretary. The issue in question was "Legalize the Medicinal and Recreational Use of Marijuana"

The demographic of white, working class fit's me to a "T". I am a Democrat and I live in the state of Kentucky. I have long been a supporter of John and Elizabeth Edwards and still am, in fact I even voted for John in our recent primary.
I, like most middle class Americans, have had dreams of a better life only to have the current administration dash them to the ground. I have seen my wifes job of 19 years go over seas I have watched as my business went under to rising fuel and energy costs. I now, like my wife, have an hourly job that barely keeps the bills paid.

Can you believe it, and all this time I was so worried. Man I'm so glad I was wrong, now we can just relax and chill a while. What? You mean you haven't heard? Yes it's true, well to some people it is.

Over the years I've had so much stuff just show up in my e-mail. Some of it ordinary spam others presents from admirers, good and bad. Most the time I just delete it or send it to bulk mail. A couple of months ago a news letter began to appear. The things they were saying were so outlandishly right wing that I had to keep it, for comic relief if nothing else.

I could have told you 6 maybe 7 years ago this subprime mess was coming. Any fool could look around and tell there weren't enough 6 figure salaried jobs around to pay for all those 6 figure plus homes being built. Everywhere you looked there were people, driving BMWs, rolling into gated communities with homes starting at $500,000.00, you knew it couldn't last.

Those were the headlines because they effected big money. Subprime crisis! Talk of bailouts and stimulus packages filled the air. You envisioned high rollers jumping out of windows and mortgage company closing, white collar crime and scandals everywhere. But the true scandal of banking deregulation isn't even reported, but that maybe because it only effects the 12% who are living at or below poverty.

Got your attention didn't it? I could be wrong and yes this is just a hunch but tomorrow is going to present us with some surprises. I could have said I have it on good authority but I'd be lying. I could tell you the fix is in but you'd know better but I want you to remember if Edwards picks up any delegates tomorrow you heard it here first.

First off New Orleans was where he started his campaign down in the ninth ward. He brought much needed attention to that area
