Yesterday, I created a diary about Madison Kimrey, the amazing 12-year-old activist from North Carolina, and to my pleasant surprise she appeared on Rev. Al's show this evening! She also appeared on Melissa Harris-Perry's show a few weeks ago, so she's really turning into a phenomenon. :-) Rev. Al is a perfect person to host the young activist because he also started in Civil Rights activism before he was a teenager. Enjoy!

12-year-old Madison Kimrey spoke at an event in North Carolina recently, and she brought the house down! She spoke the truth about the R's voter suppression, and how it hurts young people. Please watch and enjoy!

I am part of the new generation of suffragettes and I will not stand silent while laws are passed to reduce the amount of voter turnout by young people in my home state!”

Christmas Eve seemed like the perfect time to share the voice of this incredible young lady, Jackie Evancho. Jackie first became interested in opera singing after watching Phantom of the Opera and thinking, I can sing like that too. She burst on the national scene last year after finishing 2nd, at age 10, on America's Got Talent. She spent this past summer touring the country and singing with symphony orchestras in different towns... not your typical summer vacation for a 5th grader, I'm thinking. Anyway, she has the face and the voice of an angel... enjoy!

Just happened... two GOP congresscritters, including teabagger Sean Duffy, have called for Boehner to bring the Senate bill to the floor. It appears McConnell's letter is taking hold. Look for more rethugs to call for a vote. Everyone with me now... CAVE! CAVE! CAVE!

Update... thanks to Kitty in the comments, here's a link to a Politico story...

That's the question which the Weeper of the House will hopefully answer at 10:00 AM ET on Thursday morning... will he bring the Senate compromise bill to the floor or won't he? So far, the GOP has fallen all over themselves not to bring the bill to the floor which will almost certainly pass, and keep a tax cut for more than half of americans, extend unemployment insurance for more than 2 million americans and prevent a catastrophic 28% decrease in reimbursement payments to doctors who cover medicare patients. The pressure has been like a thousand pound anvil on Boehner's head... conservatives from the Newtster, to 8 GOP senators and counting, to Turdblossom himself have said throw in the towel, but we're still waiting. What do you think? Please vote in the poll. Thanks.

President Obama is past the half-hour mark of his historic Osawatomie, KS speech, airing live on MSNBC, CNN and CSPAN3. He is channelling Pres. Teddy Roosevelt's speech about a Square Deal for all americans in 1910. President Obama is discussing a whole range of issues... trickle-down economics, income inequality, 1% vs. 99% and more. Feel free to discuss...

Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of some very good news about Social Security. After two years of no increase in COLA for social security, all 56 million seniors will receive $38 more per month, and $456 more for the year 2012. This is very welcome news for millions of seniors who depend on SS to live. Considering the only group who has not seen povery rates increase over the past decade is seniors, regressive attacks on the incredibly successful program of social security look even more idiotic than usual. But of course, the reason they want to destroy SS is the fact that it works so well... so here's a big middle finger to all the regressive haters in the government.

Candidates bribing voters, better known as the Ames Straw Poll, is nearing it's concludion today. Bachmann is the heavy favorite to win, considering Mittens isn't in the state and the prophet Rick Perry just announced his candidacy in Charleston, SC a couple of hours ago. Is it just me, or does it feel eerily like it must have in 1860? Anyway, T-Paw, who has been a non-factor from the beginning, must finish first or second for anyone to continue to take him seriously. Good luck with that. Ron Paul organizes his followers better than anyone else, so I think he's a darkhorse to win the thing. What do you think? Besides the fact that each and every one of these candidates is certifiably nuts. LOL

on Saturday in Charleston, SC, the precise spot where the Civil War began on April 12, 1861. This is being done specifically to step all over the Ames Straw Poll, also on Saturday. Perry is part of the New Apostrolic Reformation Movement, which wants to control the Seven Mountains of the world, including government, education etc.. The way I see it, he is being pushed as the instrument to gain control of these Seven Mountains, which will lead to the second coming of Jesus Christ. He is the most dangerous candidate in the field, and that's saying a lot.
