21 months ago we formed a "527" Pac to use as a vehicle to fund our organization and Progressive Issues and Candidates. We had a hope that there would be some large donors step forth to contribute towards the maintenance of our programs and sites. This has not happened. For that matter neither have the small donations. There have been a few but not enough to maintain an office and pay the bills.

On June 6th, 2008 the average price of gasoline across the nation rose to $4 per gallon.

"There’s nothing worse for our economy than surging energy prices at record highs," said Mark Zandi, Chief Economist for Moodys.com.

What do Jesse James and Big Oil have in common? Nothing if you believe the legends of Jesse James, who supposedly robbed from the rich and distributed his ill gotten gains to the poor. Big Oil robs from all of us and keeps the ill gotten gains for themselves.

In my Diary entry for July 30th, I said; "It's A Lock" that Karl Rove would not testify before the Judiciary Committee and yesterday it came to pass.

Karl Rove who acts with such impunity now has the ultimate protection:
absolute immunity from congressional oversight, at least in the judgment of White House Counsel Fred Fielding.

How much would you be willing to wager that Rove will not comply with the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenas? If I had the money, I would wager the entire amount, it would be a lock!

Over the last three decades, we have watched as people have left the "we" lifestyle and gone to the "me" lifestyle, only to appear to be coming back around to the "we".

What do I mean? Back in the 50’s and 60’s as I was growing up, neighbors helped neighbors, families were close. I am talking of extended families. They held regular family dinners, some more than others, but they faced one another and talked, really talked about the issues of the day.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, in his role as President Bush’s number one "Yes Man", reminds me of the Nazi generals during their trials in Europe after World War II, when their number one answer was "I was following orders."

This is crap; Gonzales has consistently twisted the law to fit Bush’s interpretation or at least his wishes. He has created paths for torture and detention that are a violation of our nations laws; he has acted like the law and the Constitution are not enforceable on this President and his cohorts.

Hey WeDems need your help TODAY,

I just called all 8 democratic members of the House Judiciary subcommittee on Civil Rights and the Constitution... who are holding hearings starting on the 7th into civil rights erosion, privacy intrusions from the Patriot Act etcetera and asked them if the various congressmen could include, weather the federal government should be tracking every prescription written in this country? They all we're very friendly, said they would pass my question along to the congressman or woman (there is one), but it always helps if they hear it from more than one person.This bill removes the privacy between Doctor and Patient, we have to move fast Please Call NOW!

Someone sent me this the other day, it was mean't as an insult to me, at least I think that was the intention of the sender.

But it screamed GWB to me. Only a miserable failure by any measure of a President could leave this country poorer, less secure and a far more violent society. He wanted to leave his mark in the history books, perhaps these words of Shakespeare will be his legacy.

Dear Cindy,

Marie and I are deeply disturbed that progressives have joined in the ridicule of your efforts. While I don’t agree that you should have resigned, I do understand what you have gone thru, having lost one son and another still in Iraq, and why you did resign.

For a second time, Congress is arguing over a supplemental funding bill for the G.W. Bush War in Iraq. As you all know by now, Congress set a new course for the war in Iraq. It provided a way forward for the Iraqi people, and laid a path to bring our Troops home. Sure it had riders on it to provide funding for some of the pressing problems faced in this country.

But the idiot we have in the Whitehouse chose to veto the Iraq spending bill. Why? His stupid pride was hurt.

The Constitution is a living document. It is also our most precious historical document. All that America is and all that it will be is grounded in this document. But regardless of how precious it is there comes times when it must be amended to reflect the progress made in a more modern world.

We should interpret the Constitution as it fits our world today, but we must not take it to extremes. I would suggest that for abortion, gay marriage and gay rights, that there should be amendments. But as to privacy, we should let the Supreme Court hash it out and then we can rely on precedents. I believe that this mixing of the two would make this the living document that our founding fathers wanted it to be.
