Did Anonymous stop Karl Rove from Stealing Ohio again?

Thom Hartmann speaks about the Voter Integrity people's concern with Ohio where they anticipated voter theft would happen (again) in 2012. Did Anonymous prevent it? Thom references both an article in Wonkette and a report in Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman's FreePress.org site entitled Why Rove failed to deliver Ohio on Election Day: What happened in Ohio – this time around. Curiouser and curiouser.

Organizing for America 11-04-12

I was happy to join with other volunteers to make calls to Ohio in support of President Obama and Senator Sherrod Brown. Tony Smolenski (seen here with me) was one of the energetic organizers. I was so impressed with Tony and his great team. I truly enjoyed calling and spoke with some great folks. The photo here is from my Sunday stint at the Long Island City, NY, office but I worked about 8.5 hours (following voting in Sunnyside, which took over 70 minutes -- a record!) on Election Day. See Election Day Flickr photos.

Stay Away From Social Security

President Barack Obama needs to echo strongly this winning message given so aptly by Vermont (and America's) Senator Bernie Sanders on Eliot Spitzer's show. Tax breaks to the wealthy don't help the American economy nor the American people. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid: these help We the People who need help. Let's be a WE Society, not a ME Society.

Nuns on the Bus: Faith, Family and Fairness


Just caught up on this: An ENTHUSIASTIC Nun on the Bus Sr. Simone Campbell who spoke at the Democratic National Convention was interviewed by Rev Welton Gaddy for State of Belief Radio in July: GREAT interview in spirited audio and transcript forms. LISTEN if you have time: GOOD STUFF!

For those who must have video, Sr. Simone Campbell was interviewed by Rev. Welton Gaddy in a shorter interview AT the Democratic Convention:



And then there was Sr. Simone speaking to the convention:



NOW go back to State of Belief audio interview: even better than the convention speech.

The Romney-Ryan-Akin Platform for Women


Women who lambasted Susan G. Komen should NOT give Romney a pass: He would de-fund Planned Parenthood and not provide any low-cost alternative. Go where you want, he says, "this is a free society". Not without healthcare and he'd rid us of the Affordable Care Act a/k/a/ Obamacare which gives full insurance coverage for mammograms!

Mitt Romney: You Didn't Build That — You Destroyed It

Don't let Mitt Romney become the bane of our existence!

"The theme of the Republican National Convention paints a rosy picture, but the theme of Mitt Romney's time as a corporate raider  [at Bain Capital] is less flattering. Mitt Romney didn't build that -- he destroyed it."

PROOF: Romney Doesn't Know How to Create US Jobs!!


This is an unpaid political ad re Romney Economics:

He wrecked Massachusetts and now he wants to wreck the USA!! WTF!

Mitt Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, less debt, and smaller government. Here’s what Massachusetts got instead:
  • Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
  • Taxes and fees: Increased by $750 million per year
  • Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion
  • Outsourcing: State jobs outsourced overseas
  • Manufacturing: Jobs declined at twice the national rate
Romney Economics didn't work then, and won't work now.
