I just want to see this miserable excuse for a human being rotting in Scheveningen for the rest of her misbegotten life.

She and her ‘husband’ are war criminals and until we send them to the Hague for trial we are culpable.

Tell Wexler what you think here.


Our fellow blogger ‘farleft’ will be speaking out about our evironment and the effects our ‘waste’ have on same.

Our Good Friend and Super Activist Matt ‘Say No to Pombo’ Lockshin Needs Our Help!

February 13, 2008

This just in from Matt:

I need your help. A project that was my baby is a finalist for an award that is determined by public vote. It is a finalist for the Golden Dot Award for Best Mobile/Text Message Campaign by the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet. Anyone can vote and THE VOTING ENDS soon.Please take 45 seconds to vote for me and then forward this to your friends? All you have to do is go to the website below and vote for It’s Our Healthcare in the “Best Mobile/Text Message Campaign” category. It’ll literally take you less than a minute.

http://polc.ipdi.org/GoldenDots/voting.htm

For those who want to know what I did, here it goes. We set up a jumbo screen in front of the Capitol in Sacramento one a day when we knew all the legislators and the Governor would be focused on health care reform. We allowed people to send a text message to the Governor about health care that showed up in real-time on our huge screen. Each message was up for twenty seconds in letters that could be read from over 200 feet away. The really cool part is that we also set up a live video feed through the internet. This allowed people in Fresno, LA, or anywhere else in the state to send a message to the Governor and watch on the internet as it was displayed in front of the Capitol less than a minute after they sent in. We had collected messages to the Governor leading up to this even but we got over 650 responses the day of the campaign and managed to have a new message every twenty seconds for approximately seven hours.

I’ve been told by people who follow the use of text messaging in politics that this is the first time anyone had done anything like this and I am very proud of giving people across California a new way to make their voices heard.

Please vote for the “It’s Our Healthcare” campaign at:

Thanks,

Obama reveals a populist streak!

February 13, 2008

One of my biggest problems with Senator Obama was his heretofore weakness on taking a stand on the loss of good American jobs from such mindnumbingly stupid, for a real Democrat anyway, legislation such as NAFTA and CAFTA under the rubric of ‘free trade’. David Sirota, a Obama critic for the same reasons I have, talks about a change in Obama’s rhetoric today in his column.

Here’s the teaser quote:

‘I don’t know about a time-out, but I do know this - when I am President, I will not sign another trade agreement unless it has protections for our environment and protections for American workers. And I’ll pass the Patriot Employer Act that I’ve been fighting for ever since I ran for the Senate - we will end the tax breaks for companies who ship our jobs overseas, and we will give those breaks to companies who create good jobs with decent wages right here in America.’

Clik on thru and read more, Obama is starting to talk about issues important to progressives, and the nation, in ways that demonstrate that he is willing to act contrary to the corporatist scum who are looting and wrecking our country for their own private gain.

More of this please, Senator.
