He was candid, forthright, and honest in his depiction of how this plan would unfold and who would be responsible for what. He was sincere in the necessity of congress to act forcefully, rapidly, and boldly. Can he manage to get congress to work together to pass this important legislation soon? Can American afford to wait?

When organizations across America are losing money and asking for federal subsidies why are CEO's raking in record pay and bonuses? How can any organization in clear conscience take outlandish and expensive trips across the world while asking for our taxpayers to pay the tab? When will Americans demand accountability? Can President Obama succeed in curtailing excessive executive pay? Will the bailout plan pass of fail?
February 02, 2009
America's economy is officially on life support. While congressional republican continue to debate the merit of this plan, more and more Americans become unemployed or vicitms of foreclouse and bankruptcy. Please do your part by pushing your representatives to pass this bill!
January 23, 2009
President Obama has wasted no time on setting the tone of what his Administration will and will not tolerate. Plans include sweeping changes in Gitmo, torture bans, and using the Army filed Manual as guidelines for equitable treatment of detainees at Gitmo or elsewhere.
January 09, 2009
Congress and President-elect Obama need tread intelligently in our next economic stimulus package. The Paulson/Bernanke Plan has failed miserably and our economic woes are not going away any time soon. Who can rein this in and make us move forward? How can this plan be created such that it does what it is intended to?
January 07, 2009
This nation is faced with many and various problems that congress and our new President-elect are charged with solving. Can our Senate continue to thwart progress by not allowing Roland Burris a seat at the table?
January 02, 2009
What does the New Year mean to regular people like you and me? What new policies can Team Obama usher in that can promote peace, prosperity, and hope in the coming four years?
December 16, 2008
Bush's surprise visit to Iraq brings a few surprises of its own! Disgruntled reporter gives him the shoe----or better a pair of shoes to show his dismay! Bush unfased!
December 11, 2008
Are nuclear weapons history? Will the leaders of the world opt for peace over possible nuclear holocaust? I hope so and Obama is working toward this end!
December 03, 2008
Is the CIA, FBI, and NSA suffering from an inferiority complex? Why don't they want to share the information they gather? Information sharing can make the world a safer place!
November 23, 2008
The most important thing that Americans can be thankful for this Thanksgiving is that we have a new president who hears our voices and promises to act accordingly. Let us ALL be thankful for the election of President-elect Obama because with his election comes renewed hope and faith that our government can work for ALL Americans!
November 19, 2008
How do we determine who should be bailed out and who should be allowed to fall where the market projects? Do we expand Paulson's plan to include the big three? What else needs to be done in order to expedite our economic recovery?
November 12, 2008
When Senator McCain called for "drill baby drill" Senator Hillary Clinton responded by stating that "drill baby drill" was not the solution to America's deepening problems. Senator Clinton said that America needs to create "jobs baby jobs" in order to counteract the serious downturn in our economy. Senator Clinton was right!
November 13, 2008
Give peace and diplomacy a chance to change the course of terrorist events in the Middle East. End the occupation of both, Afghanistan and Iraq. Bring our troops home.
November 11, 2008
Paulson and Bernanke mute on topic of who gets bailout monies and how those funds are to be spent. Bloomberg fights for list of participants. Who will prevail? The government or the taxpayer?
November 07, 2008
What will an Obama Administration look like? Who will he select to fill key postings in 2009? The world is still watching.
November 05, 2008
Americans unite for change. Barack Obama is officially elected our 44th President of the United States of America. Yes we will!!!

The fate of America and the world can be determined by your vote. Please exercise you right and vote for Barack Obama in 2008!
October 29, 2008
One week until we have a new president in the USA. Who will prevail? Please vote for teh best person for the job. America can ill afford four more years of the same failed policies that have cost America jobs, homes, healthcare, college educations, and investments. Make your vote for the man who can effectuate real and meaningful changes for ALL American's----Vote Barack Obama for president in 2008!
October 23, 2008
McCain, party of the elitist, campaign spends more than $150,000 on clothing and accessories remaking Sarah Palin. That's right America----that is more money than probably 50% of American's earn in a whole year and they spent that money in one short month! Let me ask you this----is the the party of regular America? I think NOT!
October 19, 2008
Speak of crossing party lines, Former Secretary of the State, Colin Powell just did that today! He may have caused some of his comrades eyebrows to raise, but he felt he had to stick to his convictions. Colin Powell felt that Barack Obama is the best man for the job of President of the United States and he is voting for him this November. You can too!!!
October 16, 2008
The eyes of the world are upon us as our election draws near. America wants and deserves leadership that will bring us closer to our neighbors instead of erecting dividers. The erratic actions of Senator McCain coupled with the spiteful and hate-filled rhetoric from Sarah Palin have proven they are not ready to lead America in a new direction, but are reflections of America's past where hate was used to keep certain segments of the population down, to undermine equality for ALL. America cannot afford to move back, but must instead look forward and prepare for a future where ALL people are equal and afforded the same rights under our constitution. Vote for the uniter! Vote for Barack Obama in 2008!
October 15, 2008
America needs leadership that can help us move into economic recovery and not further into the abyss. We need leadership who understands how best to create jobs and in what industries that could propel us into a new technologically innovative phase instead of continuing to placate the ones that are slumping. America needs Barack Obama in 2008!
October 10, 2008
Stop the political mudslinging! Americans want to know what our leaders are going to do to bring our economy back, to create jobs, to help the families fighting foreclosure, to helps them families without healthcare, and to end the war in Iraq!
October 09, 2008
Senator McCain and Governor Palin stand against women's rights! Do not waste your vote women of America----vote for the team that champions women's rights----Obama/Biden 2008!
October 07, 2008
If history repeats itself then McCain and the Keating Five are pertinent to this election and what is transpiring in our tumultous economy. Read on!
October 04, 2008
If winks were currency Sarah Palin could have paid down the national deficit from her vice-presidential debate on Thursday night! What was not obvious to me was whether she was looking for a date or actually participating in this debate. The bar was set so low that the oh so cheesy Sarah Palin recoups some lost ground in the eyes of republicans, but it is so apparent that she has no earthly idea about the issues facing America and the world. Could someone wake up McCain and tell him this has all been a terrible mistake?
October 01, 2008

Why the rush? Can't Wall Street wait? Or is this another Bush and Co. money fight with no oversight? You be the judge.
September 23, 2008
The Wall Street mess did not occur overnight and bailing it out should take longer than overnight if we want comprehensive thoughtful legislation that translates into meaningful changes in our economy. Urge our leaders to take their time and evaluate all possible plans before settling on one.
September 20, 2008
Wall Street was but one facet of this credit and housing crunch. America needs legislation that can attack all parts of this issue and not just bail out the banks, insurers, and investment firms. Read on to see what I mean.
September 19, 2008
Are we better off now? You be the judge, but look at our "fundamentals" before you decide.

September 15, 2008
McCain/Plain more of the same tax plans do nothing for 95% of the American population! What ever happened to a government of and by the people?
September 13, 2008
New McCain ads nothing more than lies and deliberate attempts to manipulate the facts. Don't American's deserve the truth? Stop deceptive political ads!
September 10, 2008
Rovian-like hand cleanses Palin's Wikipedia entry using the name YoungTrigg one day before it was common knowledge that she was McCain's vice presidential pick. Only because the number of edits was so high was this brought to the attention of Wikipedia who is in process of investigating things further. Don't we the people deserve to know the truth?
September 11, 2008
Which candidate do you believe is really about change? If you want real, meaningful, measurable change then the only rational vote if for team Obama/Biden! Read on...
September 09, 2008
Sarah Palin believes that one can pray away being gay, that divine intervention helped her to become governor of Alaska, and that Alaksa is the only state where people will be saved. Religious propaganda or honest to goodness truth? Keith Olbermann of MSNBC broke this story. You be the judge!
September 04, 2008
Palin may manage to sway some women to her party, but she remains the least qualified of all of the candidates in the 2008 race for the presidency! Pleas take the time to understand the issues and then vote your conscience because America has nothing to gain from politics that continue more of the same. Give America back to the people, vote change in November. Viva Obama/Biden!

Tropical Storm Fay brings more than rain and wind to parts of Florida. Run off from flooding has muddied some tropical habitats bringing out wildlife that normally would inhabit other more hospitable environments. Fisherman's Village Marina in Punta Gorda, Florida had a 12 foot visiting alligator this past week. His majestic presence sparked debates between capture and death or relocation and life.

ReEcently the interim government of Iraq saw fit to sack their entire Olympic coaching staff and replace them with new people.

Please voice your opposition to this tragic turn of events. Let Iraq compete!

The ongoing conflict in Darfur has been termed a "genocide" and has even taken on celeb-appeal, yet not enough is being done to stop it. Perhaps the wrong terms have been bandied about with little regard for how differing cultures hold differing perceptions. Look inside for clues that may lead to durable peace for the people in that region.
