So Sorry Bloggers!

I havn’t been around because I have been helping the Obama Campaign out in volunteering, be back after the 5th.

Welcome to the United States of Disney

Here is an email I got from a candidate (I’m subscribed to almost all of them)

Welcome to the United States of Disney

Dear Fellow Kucinich Supporters,

On Saturday night we officially became the United States of Disney. While Republican candidates railed about the threat of Islam-fascists, Americans were oblivious that in fact, the greatest treat to our freedom was transpiring right before them - corporate-controlled media, a key component of fascism, used their power to exclude the one candidate from the debates who dares to stand up to them. To “cover” their coup, they ran a silly fluff piece prior to the debate about people who are running for president with no organization behind them and questioned why they would do such a thing other than to massage their own egos.

But the candidate Disney/ABC arbitrarily excluded from the debate is a viable candidate who has hundreds of thousands of supporters and a solid organization in every state. Dennis Kucinich has been campaigning non-stop for over a year with his wife, Elizabeth. He’s on the ballot in almost every state. This isn’t some vanity campaign that the Corporate-controlled media has deliberately tried to make disappear - this is the one candidate who is running for all the right reasons - because he wants to save our country from the takeover of special interests.

While John Edwards, during the debate, eloquently and passionately decried the stranglehold special interests have on our nation, he never once mentioned that Disney/ABC had excluded one of his fellow candidates from the debate. How disingenuous! He also failed to mention the fortune he has invested in a hedge fund that makes him as vested in these special interests as anyone.

I watched the entire debate on Saturday night, and have to admit that compared to the Republicans, any of the Democratic candidates sounded like a good bet. But here’s the catch - while they debated who was the more likely to bring about change and who had more experience actually initiating change, not one of them has ever proved they have the courage to stand up to the status-quo that will do whatever it takes to prevent change. If they had, ABC would have kept them off that stage too. So while just about everything spoken by the four Democratic candidates sounded good, I couldn’t help thinking that this was just another Disney performance. Put any of them in the White House and you’ll get the same disappointment we’re experiencing with the Democratic Congress we elected in ‘06. We worked our tails off to get them elected and they conveniently forgot why we did it.

Here are some words you didn’t hear uttered during the debate - words that Dennis Kucinich would have said if he had been given his place at the table. Words the American people deserve to hear:

Impeach - The majority of Americans want to see Bush and Cheney held accountable for the lies and corruption that have driven our country to the brink of moral, financial and military bankruptcy. Dennis Kucinich introduced a bill to impeach Dick Cheney last November. The Democratic leadership moved to table it. It was only because REPUBLICANS voted against tabling it that the bill didn’t die immediately on the floor and instead now languishes in the Judicial Committee.

Not for Profit Health Care - Don’t let them fool you - the insurance companies are the problem because they only make a killing when they deny patients health care. Keep them in the mix and you will never have healthcare for all.

End NAFTA and get out of the TWO - Although Edwards briefly alluded to the problems our trade agreements have caused to working-class Americans, no Democratic candidate is ever going to criticize a trade policy that was put through by President Bill Clinton - even if it is the cause of not only job loss, but the surge in illegal immigration from Mexico. No candidate, that is, except the one we can count on to always speak the truth - Dennis Kucinich.

The corporate-controlled, censored media has carefully orchestrated the obliteration of Dennis Kucinich. This is the third debate he’s been kept from. They are also distorting his politically strategic move in the Iowa caucuses to suggest supporters cast their second vote for Osama, as a indication that Dennis has quit the race and is throwing his support behind Osama. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, Bill Richardson did the exact same thing as Kucinich and he still got to be in the debate last night!

Is it too late? Has corporate-controlled media become so powerful that they can decide who our candidates are, and delude us into thinking we are actually electing our leaders? There’s one way to find out. Let’s make this a real democracy where people talk to people. Let’s spend the next weeks before our state primary contacting voters and telling them about the one candidate who hasn’t just been talking about change; his entire political career has been the embodiment of change.

What you do over the next few weeks might mean the difference between waking up this time next year in a Disneyland where the majority of Americans will be grateful for the most menial jobs, while the wealthy few get a free ride, or taking our country back from the military/industrial/insurance/media fascists. Please go to www.California4Kucinich.com now and sign up to be on a DK Team. We are currently organizing to reach out to voters by phone and in person and your local DK Team Leader will contact you to see the best way you can get involved.

In peace & hope,
Jeeni

My Take on the Candidates

Hillary is a con artist, can’t trust anything she says. Her campaign manager is the mayor of Los Angeles who is the Head of Mecha/LaRaza. This should give you enough information on what she is all about. Hillary is ready to sell us out to China and to let Mexico take nearly a third of our country boundaries with an Authority constructed by Barbara Boxer and others in the U S Senate.

Richardson was on the ballot to pull votes from Obama for the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign.

Edwards is a hot head with sincere ideas to pull this country together, he is just too sensitive. http://www.johnedwards.com

Obama is a genius, and most like him are quiet and dynamic, his leadership will turn this country around and stop the war, that we can get back to a more normal life and improve the economy for sure. He would be a great president. http://www.barackobama.com

Romney is naive and smart at the same time, he needs to take a class in sociology though, because he is totally out of touch with the common folk in the country. http://www.mittromney.com

Huckabee is a friend of Hillary, so I do not trust him at all, whatever he says is suspect, I believe he is planted on the Republican ballot to pull from the frontrunners for the Clinton campaign.

McCain is not to be trusted, he will ruin this country, and his own party does not want to endorse him, thank goodness he will not be elected president.

Paul is an interesting guy, go to his website and see what he is all about, but there is something I do not trust about him, and it is not that important either, he would be a fine president too. http://www.ronpaul2008.com

And the thumbs down will be from the Clinton campaign for sure. Let’s see how many are here.

We Found Out Clinton Can Act!

I literally laughed out loud.
