Gabrielle Giffords, leading (at least in fundraising) Democratic candidate for AZ-08, is must be stopped: In 2004, she cast the deciding vote to kill a bill that would have forced Walmart and other large employers to reimburse the state for the cost of state health insurance (AHCCCS) provided to their employees, right after Walmart lobbyist and donor to her campaigns Stephen "Rip" Wilson testified against it. She was the only Democrat to vote against the bill. Bashas', the third-largest private employer in the state, would also have been affected, with 721 eligible employees who applied for AHCCCS. (See the Arizona Daily Star for details, and the AFL-CIO for background.) I mention Bashas because it shows Gifford has not changed her ways: Her election committee for her current campaign originally had Eddie Basha as co-chair.

She also advocates building more oil refineries and "looking at" nuclear power (see my comment below for details).

The Democratic senators who are worried about their re-election chances need to know that we will be behind them if they filibuster. Harry Reid will be able to decide who needs money most. Therefore:

Dear Senator Reid:
I hereby pledge to donate to the DSCC if there is a Democratic filibuster of the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court of the United States that ends either in the defeat of the nomination or the removal of the possibility of filibuster by the Republican caucus.

My dollar pledge below. Read More

http://helpamericarecount.org came online today to solicit funds to pay for resident-requested official recounts in Ohio and other states depending on how much money has been raised. The recounts, by law, will be completed before the electoral college votes and will be binding.

Even if you don't think this will elect Kerry, there have clearly been substantial irregularities. (See the web site for some examples.) Isn't it worthwhile to track that sort of thing down even if it won't change the results?

The site was put up by Bev Harris (http://blackboxvoting.org) and others.

One of the few Air America radio affiliates is Clear Channel's station KPOJ. The homepage of "Portland's Progressive Talk" features articles like Our Viet War Friends Betrayed by John Kerry. So much for fair and balanced liberal radio. Any suggestions about doing anything about this?

We should e-mail Air America. I've tried, but the contact page doesn't work for me.

It seems to me that a large part of the opposition to same-sex marriage is based on religious grounds. We should just acknowledge that marriage is a religious institution and get the state out of it entirely. The state should certify civil unions only. The difference between marriage and civil union would no longer be merely semantic: it would reinforce the wall between church and state. (I would still support same-sex marriage, but that would no longer be a legal issue.)

Do you support the legalization of same-sex marriages?
