As constituents of Senator Clinton, we discovered how difficult it was to get a meeting with her or anyone from the Senator's office. Perhaps if we were lobbyists, we would have had a bit less trouble. Who knows?

We made this attempt on April 21, 2006.

In this video, a group of folks thank Senator Dodd for his fight against Telecom Immunity.

Special Thanks to NY Net Roots, Justin from Drinking Liberally, Katie Halper and Jamie Kilstein from Laughing Liberally, and all the people who participated.
Let's show our support for Senator Dodd today - he's leading the good fight.
And fax our Senators to tell them to STOP Telecom Immunity.

Right now citizens are sitting in at Nadler's office and they need our support.

They don't intend to leave until they get a commitment from Nadler to get impeachment started in the House Judiciary Committee. They are requesting that you put out the word, asking people to call Nadler's offices to make the same demand.

I just called Nadler's Manhattan office. They're answering phones but he's not in favor of any investigation. Why not?

These folks need our help - please call Congressman Nadler:
Washington Office: Tel. 202-225-5635
Manhattan Office: Tel. 212-367-7350
Brooklyn Office: Tel. 718-373-3198

It speaks volumes when citizens must take these risks to make our Reps take notice. People support the impeachment of Cheney - what is it about this issue that our Congressmen and Congresswomen fail to understand?

The new reports that NY Police officers had to walk Judi Giuliani's dog have me wondering: Were they walking her dog to keep her from sticking staplers into it?

We still want to know: Who called the cops on them?

It's been awhile but I've finally gotten around to looking at some of the footage that was broadcast live in Second Life during Yearly Kos 2007. I threw this video together as a sort of "Video Greeting Card", on behalf of Jay Ackroyd and myself, to congratulate everyone for a job well done. This event, the Blogger's Brunch, was broadcast live into Second Life's Progressive Island.  

What an incredibly nice group of people those progressives are, dontchathink? ;-)

I'm looking forward to the next convention, how about you?

There seems to have been none and that's surprising. Unless you count the surprise Rev. Haggard's wife received. Sweet Jesus.

A letter to my friend Mike:

You are fearless,  an example of what we all need to be. I believe what
happened to you is just a taste of what will happen to any citizen that speaks
up, in the not to distant future.

While watching early reports on the Iraq War a few years ago, I wondered: If the media and our government are reporting victory, then why are American soldiers still fighting and dying? Victory means the conflict ends. So, why are we still there?

What's Karl Rove's October Surprise?
This is Day 2 of the October Surprise Contest. Enter to win $1000. Deadline is Midnight September 30th, 2006.

Republicans are an ambitious group of fellas. They'll stop at nothing to get elected and they'll let no one get in their way. So when Karl Rove brags about having a secret plan, an "October Surprise", that will guarantee Republican control of both houses of Congress, you gotta wonder - what's he got up his sleeve?
