I am sick of the Republican spin masters such Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, who declared "The reason we are here on Saturday playing stupid political games ... is because our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are afraid to take a vote on cutting off funding."

What has this to do with the blackmailing attempts by Republicans who said they wouldn’t agree to allow a vote on the non-binding resolution that was passed by the House by a 246 – 182 vote on Friday. They are attempting to mix apples and oranges. In an attempt to confuse the public.

While the House-passed resolution would not force Bush to act, supporters wish it would prompt him to reverse unpopular war policies and start bringing home troops. But as me dearly departed Daddy used to say, “if wishes were horses beggars would ride”.

One thing I have to agree with Sen. Graham on, is that the statement made by the Senator, "This is a very, very sad Saturday for the U.S. Senate” the 34 Republicans who failed to vote for this resolution are as guilty of war crimes as are President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

There is little doubt in my mind that while the House is considering ways to restrict Bush’s use of $93.4 billion in new war funds added by the way on to the already record defense budget. That these same 34 Republicans will attempt to use arcane senate rules to stop the vote there to limit these funds. It is a sad state our country is in when a minority of about one-third of our Senators can dictate actions against the wishes of the majority of We The People.

Iowa, New Hampshire are still a year away, yet all the political
types are talking about Obama and Clinton and now Edwards. We have a
long way to go before selecting the Democratic nominee so we all need
to slow down and smell the roses. After all it is Valentines Day.

Here in Southern Illinois, in the region where I came of age in the
1950s and '60s, the home of the Paul's (Paul Powell and Paul Simon)
and Glenn Poshard, I hear a lot about Hillary Clinton and it is not
good. The local Democrats are lining up behind Obama, most because he
is from Illinois. But there is very weak support for Senator Clinton.

If one listens to the major news media it seems that they have
already nominated Hillary. They call her the clear cut front runner,
but I am not so sure. A poll on our site www.wedemocrats.org show
Edwards leading, followed by Al Gore who hasn't even thrown his hat
in the ring yet, then Obama and Dennis Kucinich, only then does
Clinton come into the picture with a miserly 9%. The Wall Street
Journal's editorial page:

"The race is between Hillary Rodham Clinton and everybody else."

And the Washington Post:

"Clinton begins the long campaign as the clear front-runner for the
Democratic nomination."

Some one is wrong but I tend to believe that We The People have or
finger on the pulse more so than do these so called political
experts, after all we are the ones voting. Or are we?

Now you should know that I have never been a trouble maker, growing
up in the sticks of Southern Illinois, the saying was "go along to
get along." And with but a few excursions into politics I have done
just that. When I started WeDemocrats in May 2006, it wasn't to shake
up the nations politics it was an attempt to get Democrats to run on
the local County ticket. (it failed by the way, we had not one dem on
the ticket). By September what started as 5 friends in my living room
became a group across the State of Illinois. As more people asked to
join and offer their support, I began thinking of a National Group.
By September 2006 we were seeing other states in the membership
rolls, and on October 5th we went National.

With 50 states and the District of Columbia represented plus 22
members living outside the nations borders, we began sticking our
noses into the political scene. We supported Craig Johnson for
Senator in New York and won. We made inroads into State Parties in
several states. And our membership has reflected a more middle road
than far left, although we have a few of those as well. But mainly we
are a cross section of the country with Republican, Democratic,
Liberals, Independents and mainly Progressives we have forged an
organization dedicated to change.

So when I hear people talking like we should just eliminate the
Democratic National Convention because Hilary has it locked up, I get
angry. While I wish I could support Obama, I am still unsure of him,
he just has not shown the experience that I feel we need in
Washington, so at this time I am supporting John Edwards. Of the
three of them I have met Clinton in Arkansas in 1984, and Obama twice
in 2006, Edwards I have never met, and yet he gives off the vibes
that I can relate to so for now he has my personal support.
WeDemocrats each will have to make their own choices, as an
organization we will not support anyone candidate until the primaries
are over and we have a candidate.

While Clinton has jumped into the fire with the rest of the
Democratic field and came in swinging, she trails in polls in Iowa
and New Hampshire, where usually the winner ends up being the
nominee. I am a Deaniac, and supported Howard Dean in 2004, but Iowa
derailed his express, of course if it hadn't we wouldn't have him at
the head of the DNC and probably wouldn't have won as many seats in
Congress as we did in 2006.

So my analysis is that Clinton is more experienced, she is also the
worst speaker of the three, Obama is the best speaker but lacks
experience, Edwards while a very fine speaker is just average in
experience. Trying to give a score based on this shows that all three
should get same grade, which means that the nomination is in a
virtual tie at this point.

National Polls are showing that of the three when matched up against
various opponents Edwards would be the best candidate. But many fail
to take in the Gore affect, Al Gore continues to rack up points not
only in polls but in our own poll as well. In my personal opinion the
perfect ticket would be Gore-Edwards, but I doubt Edwards would want
to be second fiddle once again, although it would no doubt ensure his
election in 2016 assuming Gore would be re-elected in 2012.

Well don't want to write a book, just give my opinion as to why
Clinton is "NO SURE BET!"

What you can do between now and the primaries, is sign the petition
to Impeach Cheney, the first step in our Master Plan for taking back
the Whitehouse. The petition is to Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi:, Titled: "FREE WORLD From VP Cheney's Tyranny" hosted on the

The time has come to, as John Edwards said in his speech before the DNC Friday February 2nd “to Stand up for America.”

To me the way to Stand Up is to push our elected representatives to end the war in Iraq, and to impeach both Bush and Cheney. To Stand Up and return America to its greatness in the eyes of the World.

“My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.” Abraham Lincoln

This nightmare of a war in Iraq, is not the fault of George W. Bush and his neo-cons any more than it is the fault of an American electorate, a U.S. Supreme Court, and millions and millions of good, upstanding, God-fearing, git-tuff-on-them-heathen Americans who let that mendacious, incompetent, destructive man sit in the Oval Office for these past six miserable years.

The Bush and company conspiracy of lies is what got this country into a war in Iraq that has already cost us hundreds of billions and that ultimately may end up costing over $3 trillion, and has cost the lives of nearly 3,100 Americans and over 120,000 Iraqis. It brings into question our legitimacy in the eyes of the global community.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln

If you want our soldiers out of Iraq there is now a bill in Congress that would accomplish this. HR 413 would de-authorize the occupation. DownsizeDC org is mounting a campaign to pass this legislation. You can use their Congressional Contact System to ask your representatives to co-sponsor HR 413. http://action.downsizedc.org/wyc.php?cid=63

The corporate media in their self-designated “wisdom” have decided that impeachment of President Bush or Vice President Cheney is a left-wing fantasy. As a result, there is virtually no coverage in the media of either the majority sentiment for removing Bush from office or even of the key issues that make this president the perfect example for the impeachment provisions of our Constitution.

I may be a liberal, but I don’t consider my self “Left Wing” nor is the majority of people in this country. And it is the majority who are calling for impeachment of the Red-Mafia of George W. Bush not some imagined fantasy as seems to be the hope of the Right. But while it makes me mad that they assume that anyone who speaks out against this crooked administration is ultra left wing, what makes me even madder is that there are so many in the leadership of the Democratic Party doing the very same thing. They are strong arming advocates of impeachment behind the scenes, trying to bring the so-called “rebels” into line with the wishes of the DLC.
Amy Tan said, "In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody else gives you."

And I for one have no intention of keeping the circumstances of an administration that has failed We the People.

Why people ask (at least members of the Ultra Right Wing do) impeach the President and Vice President?

Because while Bush has maintained that his use of assumed authority is within his powers as President, and Republicans are now saying that even if he did go too far, he had not acted with bad intent, since he believed that he possessed sufficient authority for his actions. At least they are no longer blindly playing follow the leader. And his use of the assumed authority to obstruct federal investigations into what the administration knew about the 9-11 attacks before they happened, his misleading Congress over the Iraq war, supporting torture, engaging in illegal spying on U.S. citizens and using his office to punish critics.

Because of their undermining of basic Constitutional freedoms, from First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech, assembly, press and religion to Fourth Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure and Sixth Amendment rights to a fair trial, to the even more basic rights of citizenship.

Because of abuses of power, including the blatant violation of the law in the case of the president's violation of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act, the use of over 500 "signing statements" to simply ignore laws passed by Congress, and the ignoring of court orders, as well as the use of government power to attack individuals, as in the case of the outing of under-cover CIA agent Valerie Plame in order to punish her whistle-blowing husband, ambassador Joe Wilson.

Because of their criminally negligent attitude towards governing that has brought us the disaster and needless death of hundreds of people in New Orleans, the fiasco of the Medicare drug "program" for seniors, and the chaos of post-war Iraq.

Because of the culture of corruption in Washington that makes earlier epic scandals like Teapot Dome look penny-ante, with over 60 Republican members of Congress (that's better than one in four!) linked to just one bribing lobbyist and with war profiteering by Republican-linked corporations running rampant.

Because of the trampling of international law through the authorization of policies of torture of captives and the rounding up and deporting of law-abiding residents based solely upon their ethnicity and religion, all of which have made America a pariah in the international community and needlessly inflamed hatred of America across the Muslim world.

Because of the criminal know-nothing obstructionism with regard to the urgent crisis of global warming, which even the Pentagon has concluded threatens the national security of the United States far more than any rag-tag band of terrorists.

Americans hold that our Constitution is a sacred document, and anyone from the President down who fails to honor the law of the land as outlined in this Constitution is guilty of treason. And should be impeached.

Former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega, who has written forcefully on the criminal case against the President. For example, in United States v. George W. Bush et al., she actually lays out a rather chillingly realistic scenario involving a grand jury hearing evidence against Mr. Bush. Such a case before a grand jury would parallel the indictment contained in the body of articles of impeachment in the United States House of Representatives. She and other legal talent have extended that service in other venues and writings by offering the manifest outline of the case for the prosecution of the charges contained in those articles, as well as the means by which the trial in the U.S. Senate would be successful. Ms. de la Vega, by the way, is an outstanding legal mind, even more so because she not only has extensive experience in the ways of defendants, but also has the ability to clearly set forth the complexities of the prosecution of a high official in such a way that a reasonably well-educated citizen would be able to see whether or not the actual trial was proceeding in the manner most likely to be successful.

While impeachment is a given, the ending of the illegal war in Iraq must be of utmost importance. Anything that will get our loved ones home with out more disgraceful tragic deaths, is a valid endeavour.

“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” John F. Kennedy

Don’t forget the petition to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Titled: "FREE WORLD From VP Cheney's Tyranny" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/WD13007/

Abraham Lincoln said, "To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men."

Don’t be a coward, Stand Up for America!

Washington, D.C.
February 2, 2007

Thank you.

We’re all here together – but why are we here?

Why are we here?

We are here because somewhere in America an eight-year old girl goes to sleep hungry, a little girl who ought to be drawing pictures and learning multiplication cries herself to sleep, praying that her father, who has been out of work for two years, will get a job again. It doesn’t have to be that way.

We are here because somewhere in America, a hotel housekeeper walks a picket line with her union brothers and sisters fighting for decent health care benefits during the day and works the late-shift at a diner at night so that she and her family can live a decent life and so her boy can go to college and have choices she never had. And somewhere a young man folds a college acceptance letter and puts it in his drawer because even with his part-time job and his mother’s second job, he knows he cannot afford to go. It doesn’t have to be that way.

We are here because somewhere in America a mother wipes her hand on a dishcloth to go answer a knock on her door … and opens it to find an army chaplain and an officer standing there with solemn faces and her boy’s name – her patriotic son who enlisted after September 11 – on their lips. It doesn’t have to be that way.

We are here because somewhere in the world, a 5-year old boy in a refugee camp is bending under the weight of his 2-year old sister. His family massacred, he carries his remaining sister everywhere, and sleeps with his arms wrapped tightly around her, knowing that tomorrow he will have to do the same thing, and again the next day and the day after that because she is all the family he has now. It doesn’t have to be that way.

We are here because somewhere in America a father comes home from the second shift and feels a raging fever on the brow of his sleeping daughter as he kisses her goodnight. And now, bone-weary and worried, he cradles that child in his arms at the emergency room, because there is nowhere else for him to go. It doesn’t have to be that way.

They are why we are here. Because everywhere in America, people are counting on us to stand up for them.

And so I ask you, will you stand up for that tired father forced into emergency rooms to get health care for his little girl?

Will you stand up for the brave young boy in the refugee camp?

Will you stand up for the working men and women in our labor movement who have to fight for decent working conditions and living wages?

Will you stand up for the young man who knows that education is his way out of the cycle of poverty and yet it seems beyond his grasp?

Will you stand up for that hungry eight-year old girl so she doesn’t give up on her life before it’s even begun?

Will you stand up for all the American families whose loved ones are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Will you stand up?

Will you stand up for America?

Because if we don’t stand up, who will?

If we don’t speak out, who will?

Forty years ago, speaking in protest against the war in Vietnam on the eve of its escalation, the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King said there comes a time when silence is betrayal. Silence is betrayal.

That time has come again. We cannot stand silent.

They have to hear you. Can they hear you?

I believe it is a betrayal not to speak out against the escalation of the war our nation is engaged in today, in Iraq.

It is a betrayal for this President to send more troops into harm’s way when we know it will not succeed in bringing stability to the region.

And it is not right by our silence to enable this President to escalate the war in Iraq. And we must not delude ourselves: our silence enables this President to escalate the war.

It is a betrayal not to stop the President’s plan when we have the responsibility, the power and the actual tools to prevent it.

Being satisfied with non-binding resolutions we know this President will ignore is a betrayal. And shutting down debate in the Senate on this issue is worse than a betrayal. It’s an outright denial of the people’s will.

And one more thing, while I’m at it.

You described yourself as "the decider." I have news for you. The American people are the real "deciders," Mr. President. And they are saying, "You have had your chance."

Americans are speaking out. And our leaders must do no less.
You must stand up now against George Bush’s escalation of the war in Iraq. George Bush is counting on us not to stand up, not to fight against this escalation with everything we have. George Bush is counting on a Democratic Party that will not press for what we know is right.

Silence is betrayal.

Opposing this escalation with all the vigor and tools we have is a test of our political courage. And you’d better believe that George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are betting that we don’t have that courage.

They don’t think we have it in us. They’re counting on their opponents to be weak, and political, and careful.

This is not the time for political calculation. This is the time for political courage. Stand up.

Being honest and changing course in Iraq is the first step in restoring America’s ability to provide moral leadership throughout the world. And make no mistake: America must lead. We are the pre-eminent, stabilizing power in the world. If we don’t stand up, who will?

This is the time for political courage – not only when it comes to speaking out against Iraq, but also about the challenges we face here at home.
Because, when it comes to 37 million Americans living in poverty, silence is betrayal.

One in every five children – count them, one in every five American children – live in poverty, here on the richest nation on the planet. It doesn’t have to be that way.

The causes of poverty are complex, entrenched, and powerful. And our will to address them and restore the promises of equality and social justice must be just as strong. Are you strong enough? Will you stand up to end poverty in America? It means addressing education, jobs, health care, housing, predatory lending, and personal responsibility. The fight will be long and it will not be easy. Are you ready? Will you use your voice against poverty, or will you stand silent? Stand up.

Stand up to eradicate poverty in America.

When it comes to 47 million Americans without health care, silence is betrayal.
The 47 million are silent victims of a health care system gone wrong, where policies are driven by profits not patient care. We have to stop letting the health insurance companies and the big pharmaceutical concerns decide our nation’s health care policy. We have to give the silent victims, who stand in line at free clinics and use the expired medicines of friends and neighbors, we have to give them the dignity of universal health care.

And while we’re at it, we have to stop using words like “access to health care” when we know with certainty those words mean something less than universal care. Who are you willing to leave behind without the care he needs? Which family? Which child?

We need a truly universal solution, and we need it now.

Will you stand up for universal health insurance in America?

And it’s time we stood up for an energy policy that’s not dictated by the profit margins of Big Oil -- and an environmental policy that’s not promoted by or regulated by polluters. Today, not tomorrow, or in the next decade or in the next generation. Today, our planet is at risk, and here, again, silence is betrayal.
So, will you speak out? Will you stand up?

These are the great moral imperatives of our time. And by breaking the silence we are not breaking faith with our flag or our forefathers or our brave young men and women in uniform. We are keeping faith with America.
Because we are better than this. We are better than this.
We should be the bright light, the beacon for all the world.
We are not the country of the Superdome in New Orleans after Katrina;
We are not the country of Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo;
We are not the country of secret surveillance and government behind closed doors.

We are Americans, and we’re better than that.

And we are Democrats, the party of action – not reaction. We are Democrats, the party of principle – not appeasement. The time for half-measures, empty promises, and sweet rhetoric is gone. Now is the time for courage, decisiveness and moral leadership.

It’s time to stand up for the promise of America again -- and for the principle that every American matters, no matter where you come from, or what color your skin is, or how much money you have in your pocket.

Let’s stand up for the working people whose labor made this country great. America was built by men and women who worked with their hands. And organized labor has fought for and made better the lives of every working man and woman, by giving them a voice – labor never stands silent where wrongs need to be righted. Will you stand with them? It is time we acknowledged that it is organized labor, which has protected the American worker against mistreatment by corporate America. I am proud to stand beside organized labor? Will you stand with them, too? Will you walk with them and march with them?
We know one thing for sure: it is time to be patriotic about something other than war. It is time to do what you know is right and to speak out against what you know is wrong.

Not tomorrow. Now. Speak out now, take action now.

We don’t have to wait to see if someone keeps the promises of a 2008 campaign. In fact, the transformational change this country needs cannot wait until January 2009.

Tomorrow begins today. And our obligation to act starts right here, right now.
Because somewhere in America, because everywhere in America, people are counting on us to stand by them and to fight alongside them for what we know in our hearts is right.

So let’s stand up together. We have always been the party of promise who stood with the working man and woman, the party of hope who stood with the needy, the party of compassion who stood with the young and the old and the frail. It is who we are.

In times like these, we don’t need to redefine the Democratic Party; we need to reclaim the Democratic Party.

Thank you, God bless you and God bless this great country.

I started this thinking of an article for a military blog, since we are parents of a soldier in Iraq. But as it progressed it grew in to a bit more than I had planned.

From the news media, we learned that there were casualties in our son’s unit. Unless you are a parent or spouse or child of a soldier at war, you can not know what it is to hear those chilling words from an electronic box.

Calls to local recruiter, or any military personnel brings the same answer "You'll know as soon as we do. We'll call you as soon as we know. Hold strong, we're doing everything we can." I have heard it said that when there is casualties in a unit that there is a two week blackout for the unit, no calls in or out. Guess it gives the military time to re-screw their heads, so that they don’t say the wrong thing to the suckers back home.
Every vehicle that passes along the road before our house, causes a scramble to the windows to see if it might be a government vehicle bringing the dreaded news.

My wife loses sleep and weight every time there is mention of fighting in the area of Iraq where our son is, she sleeps with the phone and cell phone, just in case he might call. Me I just write and cuss a little at a stupid president who could not find his way out of a paper bag with a pair of scissors.

And now we hear 21,500 more troops are being sent over, 43,000 additional parents are going to go through what we go through. But this is only half the picture, these new reinforcements do not include the necessary support troops and personnel that are required. The true figure will approach 48,000.
According to ThinkProgress, Peter R. Orszag, Director of the Congressional Budget Office, has prepared a report about the potential costs of Bush's escalation at the request of John M. Spratt, Chairman of the House Committee on the Budget.

Thus far, the Department of Defense (DoD) has identified only combat units for deployment. However, U.S. military operations also require substantial support forces, including personnel to staff headquarters, serve as military police, and provide communications, contracting, engineering, intelligence, medical, and other services. Over the past few years , DoD's practice has been to deploy a total of about 9,500 personnel per combat brigade to the Iraq theater, including about 4,000 combat troops and about 5,500 supporting troops. DoD has not yet indicated which support units will be deployed along with the added combat forces, or how many additional troops will be involved.

Army and DoD officials have indicated that it will be both possible and desirable to deploy fewer additional support units than historical practice would indicate. CBO expects that, even if the additional brigades required fewer support units than historical practice suggests, those units would still represent a significant additional number of military personnel.

The military used to take care of it's members needs. They no longer do so. These soldiers have to pay for everything, including their uniforms, haircuts, boots, socks, laundry and any extra food, even when they are at war. Yet they have no choices as to where, when they go, or for how long or how much all this crap costs.

While we at home can’t send them military clothing or equipment we do what we can in our case it’s the weekly care packages she has put together to ship overseas so he can have “a little of home”. Things like homemade apple butter, beef jerky, chewing gum, tobacco, cookies, cake baked in jars, candy, games, DVD’s, and so on and so forth. Things that are available from the PX or Commissary on his base, but mothers know that he isn’t getting what he needs so off goes another care package.
Friends, mobilize school children to write letters and send cards to selected soldiers, then if they don’t get an answer right away, begin calling and asking is he ok?

How the heck should we know, they see the same television programs we do, of course one can’t say that. Instead we relate the last time we heard from him, yes he was fine, no he isn’t having homesick problems, maybe he will visit when he gets to come home….

It makes me mad that these same friends and neighbors won’t pickup the phone and call their congressmen or senators, they won’t take time to write a letter to the editor, or to sign a petition. They don’t want to get involved, why stir up trouble when its not going to accomplish anything they mutter.

“Well if not you, who?” I ask, meanwhile Marie is in background waving her hands and shaking her head (muttering about another friend lost), “where would we be in this country if our founding fathers had said ‘I don’t want to get involved, why stir up trouble’.” Of course I have lost a few friends as things sometimes get heated, but at other times I get an “ok, what do you want me to do” and that makes my heart jump, and I layout a plan for them to get involved, being careful not to give them a lot to do in the beginning, but let them get their feet wet in local politics.

Now all of them won’t remain as volunteers, but if I can get 1 out of 4 to come back for a second round of activities then they are hooked, and will become not only a volunteer, but usually an advocate for grassroots and maybe, just maybe a County or State Coordinator.

How simple it is to start a conversation and lead it around to politics, how simple it is to plant a seed of activism, that might grow into a home grown candidate, one who you not only can support, but is a close friend to boot.

Each one of you can help, its as simple as signing up at www.WeDemocrats.org, joining cost you nothing, you are not required to do anything if you don’t want, but if you do we have the tools and training to make your efforts return results.

In the mean time you can sign the petition to Impeach Cheney, the first step in our Master Plan for taking back the Whitehouse. The petition is to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:, Titled: "FREE WORLD From VP Cheney's Tyranny" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/WD13007/
