I know that many of us have been working very hard to get out the vote so I wanted to give you a heads up about an incident that helped bouy me up.

I suspect that if the turn out of black and other minority voters is high then we in good shape.

I suspect that the role that black and hispanics voters will play in tommorrow's election has not been fully appreciated and it my serve to wipe the smiles off many faces of the punditry class.

Can you imagine what the tea party haters will do if their media-guaranteed victory does not come to pass???

Here is my open request for creative types to help develop web advertisement content which could help sway some undecided or independently minded voters and which we can post on the social-networking site.

I believe that we could use the free tools on the web more rigorously to push for progressive and independent voters to vote democratic. Apart from the economic cost of the time each advertisement would require to put together and also post on the various outlets, the final cost will be negligible and I think that as grassroots activist we can take these tools and add to the volume of positive reinforcements needs to create a surprise headline result come Tuesday night – a Truman beats Dewey moment. Oh how I wish to see the bashful faces of the pundits as the result begin rolling in an people see that the Democrats have retained both the House and Senate

One of the issues that continues to limit Progressive's ability to win the communication battle and the message-wars is that we often lack snappy terms on which to base our agruments and advocacy. Instead we end up using the terms that the rightwingers have come up with. As a result we often are at a huge disadvantge because we are arguing a policy rellying on their terms. Of course the mainstream media does not help at all because they just pick it directly from drudge, fox, and talk radio.

One of the opportunities we have is give name to the Bush tax cut for people who make more than US 250,000. All suggested names should reflect the greed of the potential recepients who demand it and also the lack of shame of elected politicians who are pushing it.

There are many people on the progressive side and many in the middle who support President Obama's recent argumment that Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich should expire at the end of the year.

Why are we as progressives not using an argument which at least has the potential to shame the rich and the Republicans instead of just focusing only on moral arguments of fairness and deficit? Economic fairness does not bother the rich republicans and their conservative base.

I propose that we should say : Bush's Taxes should pay for Bush-initiated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

those of you with a better flair can modify it to may be Bush's tax cuts should pay for Bush's wars (of course I know that he left them for President Obama to clean up)

For those who may not have heard, a number of politcal types are speculating that Prof. Elizabeth may be nominated for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Politico and many others have joined the rumour mill about this potential appointment.

Here is the same political gossip as reported by the Boston Globe

Consumer advocate and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren has made a last-minute adjustment to her fall schedule, dropping a class she was set to teach just days before the semester began and fueling speculation that she may soon be nominated for the head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to The Washington Post.

"Professor Warren regrets that she will not be able to teach you this fall and we regret the last minute change," law school dean Martha Minow wrote to students, according to an e-mail obtained by WaPo.

Yes there are 70 days to the mid-term election day November 2 2010. I a, true beliver in grassroots action that will defeat the bigoted, fear-mongering republican tea party (to borrow this nomenclature for Vice President Biden).

Many of us may be waiting for President Obama, the DNC and the other organisations in the Democratic party to lead the way.

However, history has shown that is we want to enact a more progressive policy agenda in the next legislative year, then we must work hard to elect a more progressive Congress and Senate.

If you were in charge of gaining ans saving Democratic seats what would you do? Ideas will be fowarded to the powers that be. So please come up with some suggestions.

Okay I think I have heard ALL I need to hear about the "Ground Zero Mosque" from those who are always so ready to criticize President Obama and yet claim to be his base.

If you are as disgusted as you should be about the bigotry that is spewing from all corners of this nation with the latest being the so called "outrage over the Ground Zero Mosque" my challenge to you is simple: what activism have you done AGAINST the bigots who are perpetuating this hate?

WHY ARE YOU DIRECTING YOUR OUTRAGE AT PRESIDENT OBAMA RATHER THAN TOWARDS THE BIGOTS WHO STARTED THIS NONSENSE???????

As progressives we have been docile during the last 18 months and we keep pointing fingers at the White House and Democrats about the lack of action on critical issues. Yes this criticism is often valid but what have we done recently as indviduals to push them to carryout the changes we want?

I believe that the recent no votes against the jobs bill and the extension of unemployment benefits should serve as a rallying cry for us and the unemployed.

Please contact the White House, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi and demand that lawmakers should not return to their districts for vacation until they vote for the jobs bill

Consider how you will feel if come June 8th you notice that an extra small contribution from you in terms of time and money could have put Mr Halter over the top and gotten rid of Lincoln?

I suspect that many in this community have been upset by the grandstanding actions of Senator Blanche Lincoln over the past few months and in the past.

Now we have an opportunity to elect Lt Governor Bill Halter and demonstrate once again that the grassroots are the power of the Democratic party and that Senators and Congress men and women will be held accountable for their actions.

Election Day is June 8th but mail-in and absentee voting starts this next tuesday

Please make a small contribution to Lt Gov Bill Halter

I have read the press accounts of the Wikileak video's with horror. My horrors were worserned once I watched the gruesome video. This event is very disturbing and makes me question so many things about war and the conduct of war. Too many people dead in a unneccessary war and due to poor intelligence on the ground.

From the video, three immediate reactions from me : anger, sorrow and disgust

I was also struck by how the report was immediately linked to the possibility that General Petreaus should be held accountable for this since it happened on his watch.

Then I had to ask, during the time when General and Pentagon were recently in the news what were they pointing out - the bad outomes from not attending to the Israel-Palestine conflict? Could someone be leaking this video now because of this Pentagon's stand???

Fellow Socio-justice minded people,

Please HELP. I hope that you can help Organize a virtual electronic and phone march for real Health Care Reform on Washington and in support of Healthcare rallies on Tuesday.

We know that one characteristic of our Democratic members of Congress, Senate and White House is that they are a bunch of cowards who are always ready to run and hide in a corner at the first sight of (or even in remote anticipation of) resistance from the GOP. There is no doubt in my mind that these cowards we elected need to be pushed to do the right thing.

No doubt this has been a very difficult year for many people here in the US and in many parts of the world. In an average year, holidays like Thanksgiving in the US and the rest of this holiday season (for those in the rest of the world) are extremely hard for some people to get through. Of course given the multiple economic shocks we have been subject to over these many months, the numbers of those hurting will be even higher.
