Elections are only 2 months away people.
2 short months . . .
And all that is standing between Speaker John Boehner and the impeachment of Barack Obama for his birth certificate or some other nonsense is YOU!
Since time is short I am making a commitment to write solely about elections from here on until Election day, and I am asking all of you to read, recommend and support articles that are election based, because we simply do not have the time or resources to waste. It is election season, boys and girls. It is time to kick @$$ (in a political way, with brains!)
Today I would like to ask you to support a REAL Democrat for congress . . .
Meet Lance Enderle!
Lance is a working class guy who is challenging a special interest owned Republican incumbent who has advocated for Drilling for Oil in the Great Lakes, the Bush tax cuts for the rich, and all of the failed policies of the Bush/Cheney Administration that we are still cleaning up today.
More below the fold . . .

If you are serious about electing MORE and BETTER Democrats, you couldn't start with a better candidate in 2010 than Lance Enderle.
Our own fellow Kossack Brainwrap has done an excellent job in covering this race in the 8th House district of Michigan, and I have had the pleasure of speaking to Lance over the phone. Lance strikes me as a no holds barred, fighting Democrat, with shades of Ed Shultz and Alan Grayson mixed in, but to learn more about the man himself, read his own words . . .
I’m a 41 year-old single parent and grandfather. I'm also a laid-off educator who understands the hardships facing most Americans today firsthand.
I was born and raised in Lansing and graduated from Lansing Eastern High School in 1987. My father was a combat-wounded WWII Veteran, Lansing Police Officer and Small Business owner; my mother taught in the Waverly schools for 37 years. Both of them provided the strong foundation for my belief in public service.
I've been active in Democratic politics for many years, running for state office 12 years ago. I'm running to be your Congressman because I believe in the Democratic process; the words "can't" and "impossible" do not exist in my vocabulary—this is America; anything is possible!
I originally ran as write-in candidate because the Democratic candidate who was running dropped out, leaving the Democratic Party without a REAL candidate or choice on the ballot, thus giving Mr. Rogers a free ride in the November election. I could not allow Mr. Rogers to go without opposition in the fall, so I made the decision to be part of the solution instead of the problem.
So, here I am, hoping to lead by example on what is wrong with our political process. I want to be a voice of the People and not special interests. I want to eliminate the need for money to run campaigns and get back to the root of our great American experiment called Democracy. I am a free thinker who believes in doing the right thing, because it’s harder to do the right thing and be honest and forthright. If given the privilege and honor to serve the People of Michigan and this great country of ours, it is my goal to bring integrity back to the office and do what is in the best interest of ALL people.
I am an individual who lives and breathes for the people. I want to bring integrity back to the game, one House seat at a time!
This is why I ask you for your support and more importantly your vote!
This November 2nd, please vote for Lance Enderle for Congress to give Michigan's 8th District true representation.

This is your choice, and the time is short.
You can either support good, working class people like Lance Enderle to represent us in Congress, or we will get stuck with more out of touch, bought off people like Mike Rogers, who thinks only of the special interests who donate to his re-election, and will be a certain vote for John Boehner for Speaker of the House and the impeachment of President Obama, whenever the GOP figures out what baloney scandal they will concoct to impeach him over.
So act now, before it is too late.
And get ready to kick @$$, because the time is now, and we are the ones we've been waiting for!

You want to beat the wingnuts? Do you want to support this President and continue to fight for jobs, progress and all the kind of things that make Glenn Beck and David Koch cry? I know I do.
So what are you waiting for? We've got work to do, and time is running short.
Peace
