  1. Dear Citizen:
    Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
    More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
     Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
     Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
     Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
    The answers to these questions — and all your voting needs — can be found at http://www.StateDemocracy.org — the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.
    In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.
    Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
    StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
    As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.

  2. So how do we defuse this anger and hate?

    We have to deal with it. We need to turn it towards positive outcomes. How?

  3. I started my day with a laugh, thanks to a great video in Crooks and Liars. It’s a dramatic reading of the Transcript of the Town Meeting of Wasilla, Alaska – May 1996 (read by the actor Chris Schneider): go there.

    Being a mayor implies so much executive experience!

    When you’ve had your laugh, get serious again. Salon has published a revealing article called Meet Sarah Palin’s Right-Wing Pals By Max Blumenthal and David Neiwert. This has really been well-researched. It is long and detailed.

    Here’s a clip:

    At a national convention of secessionist groups in 2007, AIP vice chairman Dexter Carter announced that his party would seek to “infiltrate” the Democratic and Republican parties with candidates sympathetic to its hard-right, secessionist agenda. “You should use that tactic. You should infiltrate,” Carter told his audience of neo-Confederates, theocrats and libertarians. “Whichever party you think in that area you can get something done, get into that party. Even though that party has its problems, right now that is the only avenue.”

    Carter pointed to Palin’s political career as the model of a successful infiltration. “There’s a lot of talk of her moving up,” Carter said of Palin. “She was a member [of the AIP] when she was mayor of a small town, that was a nonpartisan job. But to get along and to go along she switched to the Republican Party … She is pretty well sympathetic because of her membership.”

    .
    As Palin continues to raise questions about Obama’s past associations, even though they have been repeatedly explained during the primaries and have been found to be entirely unjustified, her own questionable associations need to be revealed. If you support secessionists and documented “America Haters”, you are a questionable choice to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

  4. Seriously, is this Germany 1933? The Brown Shirts are riled up and frothing at the mouth. Scary times, my friends.
