As many of you know, the Reform Ohio Now amendments are critically important voting reforms that are going to be in front of Ohio voters on November 8th.

We need your help to pass these measures. Even if you don't live in Ohio, you can help us make phone calls to Ohio voters. All you need is a connection to the internet and a phone to call with. This would be a great way to use up your free weekend minutes and help a worthy cause at the same time.

To join the fight against corruption in Ohio, please become a
virtual phonebanker. After we have collected a group together, you will get an email explaining what/how/when the process will work. Thank you for your help in this important effort!

During his appearance on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Senator McCain was asked about Guantanamo Bay and whether it should be closed. He responded that the biggest problem with the situation there isn't as much the facility, but with the fact that it's been 3 1/2 years that many detainees have been held without charges or trial, and that that isn't right. In fact, his words were:

"Look Tim, even Eichman got a trial!

Moments later he spoke critically about the comments of Dick Durbin.

Remind me again who Eichman worked for? So he's saying that the treatment of Nazis was better than the treatment the US is making of Guantanamo prisoners? I'll look for extensive coverage of that revelation in the MSM for the next week...

An interesting story in Wapo yesterday. LINK
I saw "exit strategy" in the headline yesterday and my heart leapt. I should've known better.

Dems could really get on this, from the PR standpoint -- they could pull together the lack of strategy (exit or otherwise) in Iraq and with SS.

Exit Strategy on Social Security Is Sought
GOP Leaders Cite an Impasse With Democrats on Proposed Private Accounts
Washington Post
Thursday, June 16, 2005

With the Senate Finance Committee at an impasse on Social Security and House leaders anxious about moving forward, Republican congressional leaders have told the White House in recent days that it is time to look for an escape route.

Bush shifted his strategy somewhat Tuesday night, setting the stage for what some consider the best excuse if his plan fails. Social Security will assume an even lower profile on his agenda in the weeks ahead, as Bush shifts more attention to Iraq and the economy.

Justice Rape Document Blasted for Omission

By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer

NEW YORK - Scores of advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) and Planned Parenthood (news - web sites), assailed new Justice Department (news - web sites) guidelines for treating rape victims Thursday because the detailed procedures make no mention of emergency contraception as an option that could spare some women an unwanted pregnancy.
