The following is a series of excerpts from Mr. Edwards speech on trade. I have made changes in the text to show the difference between "we need" and "I will."

I believe this is hugely important for Mr. Edwards if he is to break out and move ahead. Watching the AFL;CIO debate I was struck by how frequently ALL the candidates speak in passive terms.

If Mr. Edwards wants to be the leader get rid of "we need to" and tell me how YOU WILL LEAD, WHAT YOU WILL DO. We know what needs to be done, tell voters what YOU WILL DO!

When does the War on Terror end? Is it the capture and killing of Ben Laden and Al Zawhari? I don't know. but it seems to me that we need a light at the end of the tunnel.

Where is the most wanted man in the world and why in the world have we not gone after him?

Thoughts on Bush and his partner Bin Laden after the flip.

Syria puts their army on alert. Isreal expands its ground war and calls up 15-thousand reserves. What's next?

Glenn Greenwald says Bush and the neocons are thinking of pushing Isreal to attack Syria. If this were to happen then maybe we have WWIII.

In George Bush's view of a unitary executive and his view of war powers under Article 2 of the constitution, can he declare a state of emergency and activate the Selective Service Act without congressional approval? Read More

I want to focus on a simple issue, one that is perplexing Democrats from every political spectrum. We face a huge challenge in November. Everyone has been putting their two cents worth on how we should frame the debate, but I think we are forgetting the point.

We are too concerned about how the Democratic message is framed. We should be focusing on what we believe, how we see the future and the choice that faces all of us.

After all this time the media has been repeating the Republican charge that "Democrats have no plan." Now today Democrats announce a far reaching plan to take control of the security debate and nothing gets reported. Why the Democrats got no one to pay attention today. Too much stuff!

Just saw on Olberman that US News will publish a story that the Justice Department has authorized domestic search and seizure of homes and offices without warrant.

Let's get every Democrat ON THE RECORD! While contacting your Senator is critical how about reaching out to other top Dems and get them on the record, too.

Al Gore, do you support censure? Hey Howard Dean, where does the DNC stand? Mark Warner, Wesley Clark, John Edwards when will you get in the fight? Are you going to let Russ gain an insurmountable lead? Read More

Spy on the Terrorists, but don't spy on me.

All Hail the Commander In Chief.
He the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, not the American People.

Dear Senator Snowe,

I am writing to tell you I will not be able to support your candidacy for reelection to the Senate.

Your vote to block an investigation into the illegal use of the NSA to spy on US citizens is shocking.

Just saw this on CNN. Looks like Snowe and Hagel caved! The compromise "Sell Out" creates a new subcommittee to oversee the NSA domestic spying. The NSA program must be approved every 45 days by the new subcommittee and there is a five year sunset clause to make the whole program go away. This is what we got instead of an investigation, instead of holding this criminal administration accountable for their crimes.

I believe the plan is in place. Alito is the last piece of the puzzle. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm sure that anyone with a law degree can probably punch holes in my thinking, but my supposition is that the gutting of Roe will be the result of states rights trumping the right to privacy. Read More

We can go after Republican on issues like the Gulf Coast Wage Cuts and try to get them on the record. We can try to expose the Republican plan to turn the Gulf Reconstruction into a corporate porkfest, an attempt to gut social programs to pay for it, expose their attempts at social engineering by Republican idealogues cramming their no government inititives down our throats while forcing Democrats to vote against the "recovery" plan. All of this must be done and done now.

But one of the best ways to fight back is to expose the inner workings of the Republican noise machine and challenge Republicans to go on the record and to speak for themselves. More below.
