Yes We Will!


John McCain has so distorted Barack Obama's real record and experience, even Karl Rove is calling him on it. And if Karl Rove says your campaign tactics are out of line, you're clearly so far past the line of acceptability, you can't even see the line anymore.

Luckily, the mainstream media has started calling McCain and Palin on their lies. Check out how much of the MSM is no longer blind to the lies of McCain-Palin. (And then send that link to ALL your friends). (Thanks Tim!)My only worry is that the lies have been running strong and unchecked by the MSM for a couple of weeks now. Is it too late?

We must stand strong. We have 50 days left. 50 days to keep our focus. 50 days to spread our message. Our message of inspiration, hope and change, real change. 50 days to fight and stop the smears.

This election is too important to idly sit by and do nothing. Visit Barack Obama's website's Action Center for ways you can get involved. During the primaries, I spent a night calling voters in Ohio through the Obama website. It's easy and you can do it in your pj's.

Tell all your friends and family about the facts about Barack Obama. Here are more ideas on how to take action.

And make sure you forward this You Tube video to everyone you know.







Let's be clear: McCain and the neo-cons are trying to steal this election (here, here, here, and here). We owe it to future generations to prevent that from happening.

Yes We Can!







Here's a fun feel good website about Obama I just found built by 2 Stanford students.

Yes We Will!

Olbermann on 9/11

I know that someone is going to rip me a new one for posting this on 9/11 (TM), but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Let's be clear: I believe 9/11 (TM) was a horrible day in our country's history. A lot of talented, innocent people died at the hands of some madmen. Our country has never been the same and it probably never will be.

And, I completely agree with Keith Olbermann. The GOP has turned 9/11 (TM) into its own personal campaign issue with their fear-mongering. And it's disgusting. They should be ashamed, but they're not. In fact, they think it's okay. They think it's okay to question the patriotism of anyone who dares to question them. They think it's okay to hijack personal freedoms in the name of national security, but fail to show any proof that this works other than to say "we haven't been attacked again" hoping that will shut questioners up. They think it's okay to lie to the American people in order to start a war that has nothing to do with 9/11 (TM). They think it's okay to make fun of people who serve their country in any way other than by joining the military and going to war.



You can read the transcript of Keith Olbermann here.

This election is about fear vs. hope. I hope everyone makes their choice after a great deal of sober consideration.
