Things are going great in Denver and it looks like the American Autumn is in full swing.
As a proud supporter of the 99% movement I have developed a list of the things I would like to see this movement accomplish. There are no doubt many more things that will need to be addressed before out political system is repaired but I believe if we can start with these items we will be well on out way.

A Legal System that favors Justice over Resources and Connections.
A Healthcare system concerned with The People, not profits.
Replace Corporate Funded Elections with Public Funded Elections.
Eliminate tax loop-holes that send jobs overseas.
EPA regulations restored on Fracking and Polluters.
End the Wars of Aggression and make Profiting from War illegal.
Start rebuilding American Infrastructure for the 21st Century.
Invest in an Energy Plan that does not lead to Death and War.
Fund the Education of ALL our children.
End Trickle Down and Start Bubble Up.
Stop Speculating on OUR future for your profits NOW.
Hold the Supreme Court Accountable for Unconstitutional Behavior.
Stop Disenfranchizing Voters and Start Listening to them
Stop Borrowing from OUR Social Security.
Get the money flowing from the Banks to Small Business.
Start making things in America again.
Stop abusing Executive Powers and Parlimentary Procedure.
Make the Federal Reserve “Federal” and “a Reserve.”
Reverse the Citizens United ruling for the benefit of The Citizens.
Stop trying to Legislate Morality.

Or more simply put:
Dear Politicians,
Stop be f-ing corrupt.

Yes We Will
(I wanted to repost this Diary from they day after Obama's Historic Acceptence Speech to help us remember the feeling of optimism we had befor the negative stuff started. I have left it word for word as to capture the emotion I had at 3 in the morning, typos and all))

Today is a day Americans will revere for years to come. When they do, those not yet born will not understand why there was ever any doubt as to whether Barack Obama was going to defeat John McCain. They will be told how at that moment in Denver, Colorado one man changed the system by saying the era of lies and fear has come to an end, and a future of truth and hope has begun. The line was drawn at that moment, and even those who resisted and denied what they had been seeing over the last year and a half, let their doubt fall away, if even for just a moment. We all saw and understood at that time the perfect storm had arrived, and Washington D.C. was directly in its path.

This is a project I worked on for two days. It is not going to change the world but if it inspires a few to get involved, then Mission Accomplished!

-How can John McCain claim he plans to bring about change to the election process and Washington D.C. when he is working with the man known as Bush's Brain and the architect behind the 2 Bush terms, Karl Rove?

-Sarah Palin claims to be an advocate for special needs children but she cut the Alaska budget for the Special Olympics by 50%.

-Country First means People Second. Without the people there is no country.

-The Economic Commission McCain suggested to research how we got in this mess needs to start the investigation in Crawford, TX.

John McCain has adopted Barack Obama’s message of Change and is now running against the image of the party that nominated him. McCain was cheered during acceptance speech while he challenged the economic platform that was ratified four years ago by the very same people applauding. McCain is working very hard to distance himself from the record of George Bush in the public eye; while behind the scenes he is taking advice from the man behind the Bush Administration.

This bring about the questions, how long has Karl Rove been working with McCain and how much of McCain’s recent tactical shift is part of Rove’s plan? This article from May 20th references meetings between Rove and McCain began as early as Aril 22nd.

Rove has also admitted to meeting with Sen. McCain recently. On April 22, while doing on-air coverage of the Pennsylvania primary for Fox News, Rove let slip that he "saw Senator McCain recently at a private gathering" where the general election campaign was discussed.

John MCCain is Beholden to the GOP Agenda

I think John McCain gave one of the best speeches of his life tonight. He was able to walk that thin line between playing to the Republican base in the room and presenting a case for change in the United States. I respect his service and am inspired by his story. But when it comes down to it, he was selected by the people in that room tonight and is obliged to promote their agenda. Sarah Palin is going to be the Mouth of McCain because she is much easier to look at, and he does not whole-heartedly believe in the same policies put on the party platform by the delegates at his own speech. He is an honest man and does not want to lie. But McCain is still beholden to the agenda he knows we have to accept.

What the Republican Party wants you to forget is that the very same people applauding Bush’s speeches, are telling us McCain is the right man to clean up after the mess they made. They didn’t just admire the ones Bush gave 8 years ago when he was seen as everybody’s buddy, but the ones 4 years ago as well when many of us knew he was corrupt. They were the ones screaming, "FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS!"

Thanks, but no thanks.

In the past 3 days I have knocked on many, many doors to register voters and discuss the Presidential Election. I am there to support Barack Obama and the local candidates I believe in. I have listened to a lot of people.

NO ONE, has mentioned Sarah Palin's family or her personal problems. I have heard a lot about her stances on many issues including oil, education, the wars, women's rights and others. People have mentioned concerns about her morals, but this has been in regard to the political actions she has taken. Her reversal on some stances and poor judgment/hypocrisy in others, and her choice of groups to associate and the views they represent are the most notable. But, no one is attacking her character or family life and I believe that is representative of nearly all of Barack Obama's supporters.

We must not let them continue to imply we are in an uproar because she is a woman with a family and real family issues.

While I have been promoting the idea of focusing on the ideas and opportunity Barack Obama offers, we all need a laugh and I find the irony in tonight's RNC Fundraiser/Convention too much to pass up.

We saw Dubya bow out and make a speech via satellite like an actor who is too good to show up and accept an award in person. The award for Worst President Ever.

Then a nice tribute to the "great" GOP hope, a former actor. Maybe only a B grade celebrity, Ronald Reagan seemed to always be on stage and his wife Nancy loved the spotlight too.

Could the GOP really be the party of celebrities?. Read on...
