The right of gay Americans to serve openly in the American military is not an issue that ranks in my top ten most important issues facing America today. However this weeks public/political discourse stemming from Marine General Pace’s remarks implying not only that homosexuality is immoral but that such “alleged” immorality makes “said” homosexuals morally unfit for service in the American military aside from its absurdity spotlights issues that do rank in my most important top ten.

General Pace’s comment and the responses or substantive lack thereof from the spectrum of our alleged political “leaders” should give most Americans cause for concern.

I’m an average American citizen who happens to have been born heterosexual/straight.

If you think it's in the bag for this election cycle think again. More importantly if you think that the race for the White House in 2008 hasn't already started right here in Ohio you're not paying attention.

Marc Dann, who is running for Ohio's Attorney General is the man responsible for shedding light on the corruption of Bob Taft.

Please take a read and help me get this man elected. Read More

As you know, much is at stake in our democracy these days - and my state of Ohio is now a major battlefield, and likely to continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

My years in the Marine Corps taught me to view life strategically. With that in mind, we must think strategically and act strategically in attacking this political challenge that lies before us with regard to religious extremism in both Ohio and the United States at large. Along with similarly concerned friends, neighbors and colleagues, I am starting a new project called Operation Ohio to sound the alarm to the threat of the theocratic political movement here in Ohio.

This concerns all Americans not only because this movement has roots in all states across America, but because Ohio will determine the direction of our country in 2008.

I need your help to get the project started.

Here is the problem as I see it. Read More

Back in April, I live blogged here at Daily Kos in support of my friend and role model, Jim Webb. At the time I wrote:

Frankly, leaders of James Webb's caliber are not commonplace in America today, nor have they ever been. In fact, our current political process and its focus on money - along with the politics of personal destruction - does more to discourage than encourage men and women of his caliber.
However, these are not ordinary times in America, which is why we, the people, must do more than call for change and a return to good governance. We must also participate in that change and strongly support extraordinary candidates like James Webb.
Today, despite the exceptional service that James Webb has provided to our country, he is facing a tough race against George Allen a rubber stamp for the Bush administration's failed policies here and abroad.

Hi, this is Paul Hackett. For the first time in the history of our country we are on the verge of passing off to our children and our grandchildren a weaker, less vibrant, and less free America than we received from our parents.

We can't stand by and let that happen. That's why I'm supporting Andrew Horne for Congress in KY-03. Please help me, help Andrew to help save our country. This is not about winning for the sake of winning, or for the sake of putting another Democrat in office, this is about the future of our country.

We need your help. Andrew dedicated 27 years to serving his country in the Marine Corps. These are not hollow, mumbo-jumbo, easy words coming out of the mouth of another politician. This man has put it on the line for our country and our kids. He knows what service is all about. Read More
