I am mad as the dickens over the way people who oppose President Obama have managed to control the dialogue on Television and Radio in regards to his policies.

We the grassroots that took back our country, need to step up once again and carry the fight to those right wing nuts.

There are 49,122,624 Americans on Social Security and Disability in
this country. If the rumors about the Obama Stimulus Package are true,
they will not be eligible for this Stimulus Payment. This is approx 50
million Americans who are more in need than any other group, and they
will be discriminated against. It would be a crying shame if this is
true. These are the backbone of this country.

Word is that the Obama plan calls for a tax rebate to approximately
150 million workers making less than $200,000. The tax breaks would be
worth $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples. Secondly, any
relief for consumers won't be available till March/April at the
earliest as the new President tries to get his near $800 Billion
stimulus package (over 2 years) through congress.

Right now there is a lot of controversy or at least in the minds of many Obama supporters over his selection of the controversial minister Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church.

Personally I believe that Obama realizes, in order to be effective, he needs to reach out to moderates among these people, and so divide and hopefully conquer the Christian Right.

If we have learned anything from the election of Barack Obama as President it is that there are a lot of Progressives out in voter land.

Regardless of whether we call ourselves liberal, or conservative, Democrat or Republican, we have shown with this vote that the Progressive Movement in America is large and well.

Some claim this was more a rejection of Bush than a mandate for Obama. I don’t think so. It was more of a rejection of the referendum on Republicanism and their ideologies.

Recently a group that I belong to, made up of Americans, British, Dutch and Canadians got into a discussion of left and right leaning socialism.

While it was evident from the beginning which were Americans from their shouting matches over the benefits of electing Obama or McCain, there was several intelligent individuals who condemned America's left-socialism and claimed it was the cause of all our problems today.

Many times we use words and phrases without any idea of where they may have originated from. Take the word "We" for example if you wanted to find out about its origins and usage you could go to wikipedia.org/wiki/We and find how it is used in other countries and languages.

Most of us are not only familiar with it as a pronoun in the English language, we use it in everyday conversation without a thought. We, the word is sometimes over worked.

When we as American citizens are called upon to work for and support not only our chosen Party, but the candidate that our Party has selected for the General Election, then that is what we must do, to do other wise is to commit a serious wrong. The Constitution grants us certain rights and common sense requires that we should exercise those rights.

As our forefathers before us and the succeeding generations since have accepted the truth that all men/women are created equal; that by the very citizenship granted by this the Government of the United States of America, they must participate in the political system that these same forefathers had designed, to fail to do so will allow a government that will gather onto itself powers other than those granted by the governed.

There probably isn’t a man alive who doesn’t reach his hand into his pocket on a daily basis. It is a normal occurrence, paying for a purchase, or just standing around waiting for something, hand in the pocket without giving it a thought.

Well the news out of Washington Friday July 11 was more than a bit disturbing. It seems that we are all familiar with George Bush and his moneyed Republican friends sticking their hands into our pockets, through high gasoline and food prices, as well as through taxes on everything including the kitchen sink.

Barack Obama has re-energized American Politics. No one has been able to draw the huge crowds he does; no one has renewed the pulsating desire to participate like he has. Many speak of the JFK years with longing and claim to see images of that era reflected in the Obama campaign. I don’t. Having lived during the JFK era, having worked as a teenager to get him elected, the comparison doesn’t quite jibe. Read More

Many are declaring that they are independents this year, most as a protest because (gasp) a black man defeated their candidate who happened to be the first woman presidential candidate, at least one for a major party. (If anyone else had been their candidate there would be cries of racism but hey these so called Democrats are not bigots, they would never stoop to racist remarks, but supporting a Black man for President is going a bit to far).

How do these so called declarations of independence compare to that one 221 years ago?

Recently I who am a member of a group on Democrats.org was like other members subjected to a series of emails designed to garner support for a Hillary write in campaign, and barring that threaten us and the Party with switching their vote to McCain. While I have little time for these threats, I do feel that they must be answered.

Can someone explain to me why America Coming Together (ACT), which in the past has been associated with Progressive Democratic Candidates and Causes, is suddenly a mirror site of the John McCain official campaign website http://www.johnmccain.com/?
