A few days ago I posted a diary from a friend of mine doing volunteer work at the Astrodome in Houston. You can find that original diary here

I had a few people asking for follow up so when I got this email from him today I thought it best to share with my fellow Kossacks.

His continued story below the fold... Read More

Yesterday I posted a diary here regarding Barack Obama's message about America and Social Darwinism. I reccomend it as a read for everyone as that to me is the perfect frame for the Democrats moving into 06. Barack of course makes the perfect sponsor of such a discussion. To me, getting Barack's Social Darwinism message along with Edwards' two Americas message is the ultimate frame for 06.

For now though, I'd like to provide you the senator's outstanding comments about Katrina: Read More

As Democrats begin to finally come together after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, we need to find leadership and most importantly a message that resonates with American society.

I believe Barack Obama was extremely accurate in his Commencement Address at Knox College that the issues we face now are due to one fundamental issue:

For my one diary today, I thought it was time to provide a prospective from a volunteer in Houston. The document in the extended is a letter written by a friend of mine who took the time to find a way to go to the Astrodome to provide volunteer assistance. He's a school teacher in the Houston area and has a unique perspective to the situation when it comes to the children.

I reccomend it as a good read for everyone. It may be long, but if you have ever cared for a child in any situation it will warm your heart as it has mine. I provide his comments below, complete and unedited. Read More

I really envy that these aren't my words.

Below is an outstanding response to this Reed Hundt post made by Choska over at Josh's TPM cafe.

The post being responded to was essentially a defense of Bolton, Bush's intelligence, and why it's reasonable for Dems to not fight back because of the Republican counter-attack.

I think it contains some excellent suggestions for managing the MSM... Read More

I want to make it absolutely clear what message the Democrats are sending to the country, the troops, and mothers of soldiers at this moment. I expect to get flamed to death, but damnit, they need to hear it every single day until something is done.

By the lack of real action (and no, a bunch of letters and petitions is NOT action, it's procedure), the Democrats are telling the families of soldiers in Iraq:

"Sorry. We can't do anything until after the 06 elections, and only if we win. Tell your children we said good luck." Read More

OK...I was scanning over the Huffington Post earlier and ran across a comment in David Swanson's article here.

As we've come to expect from David, it's a good article. A point he made just really sticks out to me though...

That's right...it's time to cut the crap. The people of this country have had enough.

No, I'm not talking about the sliming of Cindy, or the Freedom March, or Rove/Plame, or anything like that...

No, I'm talking about the Democratic Party.

This thought line comes from a comment I made yesterday that got some very positive reviews, so I felt a diary may be appropriate.

One issue that I know we all are aware of that never gets addressed well is the Dems and the military. I think there is a fairly simple solution to get the point across to all of America that the Dems are actually the party that supports the military despite what the Republicans have everyone thinking.
