The 111th Congress may be the Congress that pays for all past Congress doings. It’s all got to stop sometime, right? Americans are concerned MOST with the high crimes and other illegal activities of the Bush Administration. Congress and the President continue to shift the conversations to healthcare, the economy, etc. What they don’t seem to understand is Americans’ realize their plate is full of “urgent” issues. They’ve been urgent for middle America for decades! What they are not willing to accept, is that Americans (I believe) want them to quit crying about it and fix things as quickly as possible. Americans want their representative to reflect “their majority will” for a change. Why? Because we know why and how things have gotten to this urgent stage. We know the seeds planted causing it all to become so urgent rests with “their” past decisions and practices. What are those? At least 35 years ago, with primarily Republican congressional majorities, Congress not only represented Big Corp Gods – but married them through their own need for power, jobs, things, greed. It has been a marriage of them, together marching the great middle class down a wide road to hell, shoving groups of them, every so often along the way, into the abyss pits of “no way to get out of this” return to a somewhat low financial, physical, spiritually sustaining life. They have stolen billions from “borrowing” Social Security and Medicare dollars – but can’t think of a way to pay it back. Over the last 8 years, for the first time in history, they created a whole new venue for spending tax dollars by marrying the Big Religious Corp Gods and “birthing” the Faith Based Initiative Programs. It is illegal, fought everyday in our courtrooms, and continues to waste, hide, and lie to Americans under the Obama Administration. The billions given that office a year could provide the start we need to get away from the ridiculous idea that employers should pay for our healthcare, and start a single payer universal medicare-like healthcare program. The people who Obama met for 2 years across America were standing outside his home last week for single payer healthcare, to who he’s told them THAT “is off the table.” So, Americans know why and how issues have become so emergent. They expect the 111th Congress to change things with the new president. We are free to put at the top of our list the Torture and High Crimes issue. Was it Churchill who told us never to “hide” the pictures of the Nazi camps and horrors, so the world would never forget and go down that path again? Was Congress so helpless in 2006 with a 1947 law that Sen Wyden has told us “the Bush Admin. broke consistently” by not giving Congress complete intel info? Was the 110th Congress so helpless they could not, even with slight majority then, investigate the many horrors we were watching and hearing about from an illegal war that has never been proved why we attacked Iraq to publicly identifying secret CIA agents, to dozens more? Instead Speaker Pelosi believed her only out, only job was not to cry “fowl!” rather to bring in an new administration during the election cycle. If this is true, Congress needs to fix this FIRST. We cannot have rogue presidents who command the other equal branches of government. The photos and the investigation of the Bush Admin better become America’s FIRST priority while democrats divide, support each other to conquer/change the other urgent issues a.s.a.p. Until the whole truth is out, we CANNOT move forward. We cannot build good, solid change on the sands of half truths and lies. We must get through this as a country. Only then, down the legal path to accountability can Americans be afforded their spirit, their will, their trust again to rebuild our nation and integrity. If we do not, we will surely die, and another generation rallied will walk from the process and duty as the patriots they must become and remain. Justice is ALWAYS won. It is won when people with passion for truth are willing to lay down their lives for it, not just their jobs or status. Wake up 111th.

Edwards and Naral endorses Obama today. They will not have the guts to go to Convention, rather they will swarm now to be (since he was picked from the beginning) for Obama.

Do You Believe This? Secular OR Christian Alike

SECULAR? -- OK USE YOUR INTELLECT AND COMMON SENSE JUDGMENT (I trust you!) *The only biblical definition of God: “God is a spirit” and “God is Love” Genesis 1: 27 -- So God created man in his own image, (that spirit in us) in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Romans 8: 16-17 -- The Spirit bears WITNESS with our spirit, that WE are the Children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ: if so be we suffer with him, that WE may be ALSO glorified together. Do you believe that until we heal (from the beginning of time) the inequality of men and women we are not a well functioning humankind spieces? Just Asking.... *Nor (do I believe) can we work together to improve every other aspect of our wellbeing until then. With all else of import in this election - WHY? WHY? DID THE DNC ROB US OF OUR 35 YEAR MOVEMENT & TOIL FOR JUSTICE? They should have to tell us.

This Election is Huge in Present and Historic Meaning. What have you been doing to be involved? Will you consider to write, fax and email the DNC, Congress members, the Campaigns, Congressional Committee's, the Media - ALL you can think of throughout the summer, even if a nominee is selected? Would you do it on a daily, near daily basis?

Will You Work to Keep Church & State Seperate

WILL YOU WORK TO KEEP SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE? Seperation of Church and State is Constitutional. It has been our practice until Bush. Americans pick a church/organization. Donations are taken for missions and do to good. We give to who we want to support. That's freedom for all. But now, the first act Bush did was to open his unmonitored Faith Baised Initiative Program, in which he gives the tax dollars of Americans (be they Hindu, Christian, Athiests, whatever) to tax free religious groups of his choice. Many are obtaining land for supposed low income housing (right!) What to bequest to a nephew down the road? Billions have been given. They abuse the money, pocketing it for political purposes and to preach their religious views. Sometimes people are forced to accept their teachings or Jesus before they are given help. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. The program is illegal. Obama is for it now that it's been used 8 years. Politicians must be getting something from it because I can't get the DNC or any key Democrat to comment on this - they want us blind.

What the DNC did

If You knew the Democratic National Committee put every issue aside in this most important election, and put race out as their number one priority to accomplish, would that be right? What would you think? What, if anything would you do? Look what I understand about the DNC from Super Delegate - the race is about color and gender???‏ I’ve shared 2 dozen emails with an African American pundit Super Delegate who inadvertently tipped me off on how and why the DNC handled running Obama and Clinton in the same race. One of my letters hit the nail on the head. She asked me once "Why should Barack have to wait, how about the Clinton's waiting? She made me feel I was racist or that I should question that in myself. I felt bad. Tears welling up in one exchange. And I rarely cry! It took me days to put this all together. Ask yourself, in this most important election, the stakes so high, a little nationally known Senator, a young hopeful with a bright future; would he, really think on his own merits, he could win with Clinton’s then 70% lead? The DNC and African American heads of state needed a strategy. (so far this is just politics). But they needed something extra - a boost to get a foot in the door. The DNC in its wisdom, decided to toss out Clinton’s lead (something I have never seen either party do), and they used the knowledge of the large voter turnout as depicted to them from the 2006 elections as the vehicle where electing a man of color could be accomplished. The Party played the race card and it appears some want it so bad, they will punish you, insinuate you are racist to stir you away from the truth. Americans and the issues were never the top concern for the DNC. They have been fighting over this from the start – putting a false face on it. They decided angrily to overlook the hard fight for women, how long it has taken and the millions still quite actively involved in that 35 year walk with Hillary to the White House. But suddenly they needed a stronger black coalition and began twisting the arms of long time Clinton supporters and well known black politicians to cross over. Small wonder the nation is divided and bitter. For the DNC, from the start, this has NOT been about the issues or war or Bush or Republicans. They have played the race card and the American people! The Super Delegate asked me "Why couldn't the Clinton's wait?" She says she likes both candidates, couldn't I? That is a false answer. On several occasions, she sternly growled at me saying "I can't talk to negative remarks." I confronted the strategy issues, not the people. I confronted the truth of the DNC actions. I think this Super Delegate wanted to steer me away from the truth. SHAME ON THE DNC! And shame on this Super Delegate, who I believed was above this sort of behavior. Their bitter in fighting, their actions from the beginning has finally been rolling out into the public square, the truth getting out and has caused this nominee race to bitterly divide us NOT unite. Above any other issue, they want Barack as president so bad, they have sent the giants out there to lead a smear campaign against Hillary and the once powerful lead she enjoyed from happy Party voters. And we sheep have jumped on their band wagon. I can understand why the Clinton's are mad. Men pushing her, bashing her all the way, and African Americans OUT in full force, which would be OK with me under any other circumstance. But Americans are too stressed and deserve better at this particular time, so much at stake, to have been asked to vote for a woman or a person of color in the same race. The in fighting inside the Party is rampant over having used the vehicle of knowing a large turnout would elect America's first black president and made that their top concern. It is backfiring and the country in unjustified turmoil.
