Sorry to highjack a diary posting as a call to action, but I learned this from a listserv I'm on today:

Governor Spitzer has made full public funding with Clean Money Clean
Elections the cornerstone of his reform New York program. But he is
getting resistance from Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, who is
against public funding of campaigns, and from Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver, who favors partial public funding. With partial funding using
our tax dollars, candidates would still have to raise the bulk of
their money from private wealthy donors, who would continue to have
the upper hand in legislative matters.

When a friend of ours called Governor Spitzer's office to learn when
he would introduce his Clean Elections bill, she was told that before
he does, he is counting the calls to his office for it from each of
the state's zip codes.

It's a quick call to 518 474-8390. All callers have to say is "I'm for
full public funding with Clean Money Clean Elections" and give their
zip code.

Alexander Cockburn caused quite a stir with his article including skepticism as to CO2 caused global warming. Now the other half of Counterpunch, Jeffrey St. Clair, has added his own opinion of disagreement on the site:

Something in all this saber rattling against Iran seems fishy to me considering an attack would result in major oil disruptions for us. l think a discussion of other possible motives for the U.S. threats against Iran is in order.

One thing that points to Iran's nuclear ambitions as a red herring is that Halliburton was apparently involved in business deals with Iran until 2003, including helping it with nuclear development technology. At the same time as Cheney's stock options were about to explode by $3,000%, Bush was including Iran in the "Axis Of Evil" speech.

I'll admit I find Edwards interesting although not perfect and have spent some time culling through the uncensored public posts on his website.

Today I went to look at Hillary's website to see if I could read some public posts. I thought it might be fun to debate some Clinton supporters and challenge their opinions with some facts and figures...
