Can anyone find and post information on who the heck is NOT covered by the bill? It's relevant-- right?

There's a huge difference if it's the top 4% wage-earners or the month-to-month folks who can't shell out another dime without defaulting on essential house expenses?

Does this bill include penalties for folks who can't add another expense into their monthly bills?
any help or clarification would be appreciated-- googled what I could think of, but not finding an answer.

If you are clear on this-- please post a diary on it! thank you!

OMG.
I apologize if this is a repeat...
But it didn't show up on search-- and if it was here, it must have been buried fast.

Seems to me, if everyone can distribute this clip, it will obliterate Palin's claim of executive experience:

the whole thing is funny--the zinger is 40 seconds from the end (or 1:42-3:06 in).

Why are the comedians like Jason Jones and others on the Daily Show being better journalists than newspapers and MSM?

(NOTE: this is posted for me mum)

Did McCain not look at Obama because of PTSD?

During the debate, even with Jim Leher asking them to address each other, McCain still refused to look at Obama...

Was it because he was told by his handlers NOT to look at Obama, lest he lose his temper?
because they knew that he still suffers from PTSD and can't easily control his temper....

If McCain were president...
What if McCain simply doesn't like a national leader? will he not be able to look at him?
How dangerous would it be to have a president suffering from PTSD?

Demand that McCain's medical records be released:

sorry...
I know this is stupid-- but right now it's showing 51% of Americans believe that Sarah Palin IS qualified to be VP...

it's just too stupid to let stand on a PBS poll:
http://www.pbs.org/...

It looks like you can vote multiple times-- please pass the word along-- and perhaps tell PBS this is stupid as well?

geez folks-- stop dishing trash and start working towards somehow getting the press to do work, and to get the votes counted.

This Adam McKay/Huffington Post story tells it like it is.

Help greg palast report on voter caging and support his continued independent reporting.

Volunteer with the campaign to host fundraisers, register voters, give house parties, canvas, donate to organizations doing the groundwork, reporting real news.

Get the blackboxvoting.org toolkit and volunteer to make sure that paper ballots are available, collected and counted.

So for the sake of this election--PLEASE STOP chasing leads planted to throw you off the track and instead
GET TO the REAL WORK of getting real stories out, posting your own suggestions of how folks can actually volunteer, get voters registered, and votes counted! Volunteer! Work!

Small-town mayor 33% 3058
Community organizer 36% 3293
No difference 31% 2813
Total Votes: 9164

and it's too close!
it's stupid and means nothing-- but it's an insult to let this ride...

URGENT: Are photos of Palin's daughter Rovian plot?

URGENT: BEFORE ANOTHER DIARY GOES UP ABOUT THE DAUGHTER'S photos:

Remember the faked Nation Guard documents that "proved" that the truth wasn't real in traditional media because of the Rovian-doctored documents fed to 60 minutes?

If you were Palin--wouldn't you ask a Rove operative to help you throw off the scent of the inevitable rumors of having your daughter miss 5 months of school with mono?

To add to Tanya and joannelson's diary diary about calling Senators...
great advice excerpted below from http://vichydems.blogspot.com/:
( find Senator contact info from either of these links):

Our theme today is: Lead, Follow, Or Get Out of the Way. In political terms, that's:

EITHER SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTER
OR ABSTAIN FROM THE CLOTURE VOTE,
BUT DON'T GET IN OUR WAY.

The plan is simple:

FIRST, call every office (DC and District) of YOUR OWN Democratic Senators and urge them to support the filibuster by either voting NO on cloture or by ABSTAINING from the cloture vote. Be short and sweet but hit every office listed below.

SECOND, call the "URGE ABSTENTION" Senators identified from http://vichydems.blogspot.com/ and do the same -- say that you hope they vote NO on cloture this afternoon but if they can't, urge them to ABSTAIN from the cloture vote. Read More

Before you get all huffy and complain that similar diaries might have been posted before, the purpose of this diary is to give you'all something to send out to your email lists. MANY PEOPLE don't read blogs or diaries (!)-- so here's a pre-fab to send to everyone you know-- or write your own!

IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT BUSH AS KING...
Now is the time to Save our Democracy --STOP ALITO!

TODAY is the committe vote (the Senate vote will be soon)
CALL your Senator TODAY (even if you called before!)
Calling is the most effective way of communicating with your Senator.
From 9am-5pm: 1-800-426-8073 (or 1-202-224-3121 if the 800 number is busy)

Below see the full text of award-winning reporter Robert Parry's article explaining that in Alito's theory of "unitary executive":

"Americans would no longer have freedoms based on
the Constitution and the law, but on Bush's tolerance
and charity. Americans would, in essence, become
Bush's subjects dependent on his good graces,
rather than citizens possessing inalienable rights.
He would be a modern-day king."

SOMETHING WE CAN DO!
I couldn't find this posted elsewhere... please keep up here for folks to see...

Jim Dean and Democracy for America is asking for us to sign and circulate the following
pledge:

I pledge to only support candidates who:

Acknowledge that the U.S. was misled into the war in Iraq

Advocate for a responsible exit plan with a timeline

Support our troops at home and abroad

As we sign the pledge, our names will appear on the Democracy for America pledge map. Let's fill it from coast to coast -- so that candidates and the media can't help but see it.

http://tools.democracyforamerica.com/petition/iraqpledge

Why sign the pledge? Because you know America can't afford to take more of this. It's time for the public servants we send to Washington to face the truth.
