Here's a chance to tip the scales of this very homophobic group's own survey. The AFA (American Family Association) is expecting an overwhelming majority of respondents to say that they would be 'less likely' to do business with a company if they knew it supported the "homosexual agenda" - whatever that is.

So far, they are getting the results they seek. Of course, they are only sending it where they will get the expected results. Let's change the outcome by completing the 1-question survey and sending it to everyone we know who is tired of this archaic and hateful way of thinking.

Today is a bright day for the uninsured:

BOSTON - Lawmakers have approved a sweeping health care reform package that dramatically expands coverage for the state's uninsured, a bill that backers hope will become a model for the rest of the nation.
The plan would use a combination of financial incentives and penalties to expand access to health care over the next three years and extend coverage to the state's estimated 500,000 uninsured.

This is exactly what democrats need to do to show the american people that they are capable of providing real change. Furthermore, this is a glimpse of how Dean's 50 state strategy will be capable of providing real results at the state and local level.

Michael McAuliff of the New York Daily News has written an article that points out two connections between this Dubai company and the Bush administration:

One is Treasury Secretary John Snow, whose department heads the federal panel that signed off on the $6.8 billion sale of an English company to government-owned Dubai Ports World - giving it control of Manhattan's cruise ship terminal and Newark's container port.
Snow was chairman of the CSX rail firm that sold its own international port operations to DP World for $1.15 billion in 2004, the year after Snow left for President Bush's cabinet.
The other connection is David Sanborn, who runs DP World's European and Latin American operations and who was tapped by Bush last month to head the U.S. Maritime Administration.

I know that this topic is being discussed on the front page right now, but this is not the time for theoretical discussion. We need some serious action. right now.

Update [2006-2-16 22:54:45 by chinkoPelinke]: In case you have no idea what i'm talking about, you can check out georgia10's discussion diary here, and check the article here

Every single democrat currently holding a national position needs to feel the pressure on this issue because, frankly, the dynamics of our democracy are at stake.

Republicans are pure traitors, they are failing to investigate the most obvious abuse of power that has occurred since watergate because they don't want to be hurt at the polls next year. Read More

While c-span has a live feed to this event on their website, other news organizations have failed to even mention this event.

We need to target these "news" organizations and pound at their doorstep until they are forced to cover this event, do not forget that we, the citizens opposing this war, are the majority!

sorry for the short diary, but i saw this on my way out to hear some live hiphop in raleigh, and i just had to post it... will update with more content. but for now:

The City Council is weighing in on the controversial comments made by President George W. Bush's top adviser about the 9/11 attacks.

Democratic Speaker Gifford Miller says the Council will introduce a resolution next week that calls on the president to fire White House Senior Adviser Karl Rove.

The resolution reads: "Rove's rhetoric and cynical strategy of dividing Americans against each other for partisan gain has no place in our nation's public discourse."

-snip-

The City Council resolution also calls on Governor George Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg to denounce Rove's statements.

(Updated) Bush was invading Iraq six months before "shock and awe"

well it's not on network television, but the grassroots rumbling is starting to catch the attention of serveral news sources.

It was a huge air assault: Approximately 100 US and British planes flew from Kuwait into Iraqi airspace. At least seven types of aircraft were part of this massive operation, including US F-15 Strike Eagles and Royal Air Force Tornado ground-attack planes.

-snip-

But there was a catch: The war hadn't started yet, at least not officially. This was September 2002--a month before Congress had voted to give President Bush the authority he used to invade Iraq, two months before the United Nations brought the matter to a vote and more than six months before "shock and awe" officially began

-snip-

the war was already a foregone conclusion and attacks were no less than the undeclared beginning of the invasion of Iraq.

Should Senate Democrats Fillibuster Bolton?

I certainly think that it would be a good idea, it would take away the republican advantage of being able to cherry-pick a moderate judge to use in the 'nukular option' and instead they would be forced to defend John Bolton, whose name has taken enough hits the last few weeks to hurt his image in the public arena.

It is also good because there seems to be a Bolton sexual scandal in the works, this would be another hit on his image, and would force republicans to stand beside a sexual abuser

sounds perfect to me, what do you think?

How will we react in 2006, and in 2008 ...

when gop candidates step up to the plate with weak support from the public, and they still manage to get their candidates into office because of our corrupt elections process?

What are you willing to do? Will americans be ready to enact an orange revolution (i'd prefer a blue revolution) of their own? How committed are you to the ideals of democracy? Would you be willing to stop all of the things that you are doing for an indefinite amount of time for the sake of your country?

I would, any other takers?

Could we use a medium of mass communication like dkos to mobilize a crowd big enough to encourage others to come out in support for democracy? do enough people care?
