Hey all.  I read an artice today that really sent me over the top.  Mike Falcone over at "The Caucus" wrote an article about how the criminal Karl Rove was attacking Obama on abortion.

No big deal so far.  The really aggravating part came with this segment here

"Though he helped derail Senator McCain's presidential bid during the 2000 Republican primary, Mr. Rove lavished praise on his party's presumptive nominee on Friday. He spoke glowingly of Mr. McCain and his wife's decision to adopt a child from an orphanage in Bangladesh."

No note of the irony of the fact that Rove derailed McCain's 2000 campaign by raising the spectre of McCain HAVING FATHERED A BLACK CHILD.  This he now goes on to praise.

So I realize that this is minor compared to the more egregious distortions going on with that Donut delivery service laughingly caled the Associated Press.  But hey different straws for different camel's backs.

The point is I am fed up and pissed off.  

I have a burning desire to fight back lest my head explode.

I am pretty new at this whole game so I could use some help.  In fact I'm yelling out for it here.  

For instance does anybody know of a reliable way to get the e-mails for these various authors?  I wanted to point out to Mr. Falcone the irony I noted above but couldn't find his e-mail address.  

How else do you fight back?  I looking for advice from some of you more experienced hands out there.  How does one raise an effective stink outside our little echo-chamber here.  

How do we at least make it uncomfortable for them when the media lies or allows themselves to pass on lies.  

I'm tired of screaming at my computer.

So oh great and wise MyDD community...what advice might you have?  

So Hillary ran a great race and is a great democrat.  Many think that we should help her get out of debt and I totally agree.

Lets make sure she can go back to the senate debt free!!!!  It would be a great show of unity if all democrats, yes even you Obama supporters, donated to her campaign.

Here are the options:

1. Donate to Hillary online at the Hillary Clinton For President campaign website.

2. Mail checks to HRC's presidential campaign finance office in New York:

Hillary Clinton For President

420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 3030

New York, New York 10170

3. Purchase merchandise from the Hillary Store. There are still some selections of shirts, stickers, hats, signs, buttons, lapel pins, and accessories.

I said that if and when Senator Clinton ended her candidacy and endorsed our nominee, Senator Barack Obama, I would donate to her campaign so that she could retire her debt.  Just a few moments ago I did.  I didn't give much, but I don't have particularly much to give.

Let's help her out.  Her campaign owes money to a lot of people who don't need bad debt hanging over them (small vendors and so forth) and if Senator Clinton is to have another shot at this in the future, she cannot afford to be remembered as having shafted so many of those vendors.  I want her to succeed in the party in the future, so let's help her out.

Besides, if a lot of us do it today, it'll be obvious that it came from Obama supporters who want the party united.

I came back home today to find that my Rec/Rate abilities have been removed. I tried changing my password, as I heard that helps, but I'm still not able to rec or rate. Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?

Furthermore, I hate to jump to accusations that they are trying to silence Obama supporters, so if there are any Clinton supporters who have lost their privileges, speak up and shed some light on this issue!

to submit to Letters to the Editor in North Carolina Newspapers..If anyone is interested please post here. Looking for passion here. Thanks!

This is pretty cool.  Its a vocabulary building game called Free Rice.  As you play the game, small advertisements are seen below and those companies pay to the Non-Profit running Free Rice.  The non-profit uses this money to by 10 grains of rice for every word you get right and donates them to third world countries.  Its a cool game and a great way to help out others.

I do not like to beg, and I know not everyone on here considers me a friend.  But I will beg because I know not what else to do.  This is damaging to my pride but I need help.  My wife and I run a company called Weather Warners. http://weatherwarners.com/  We send Tornado Alerts to your phone and publish a global warming e-zine.  In fact, I started this business because we care about people.

Well the banks don't.  Our credit is still good, but the Small Business Administration considers our business "speculative".  In other words, no loan.  Actually, one banker said I was crazy to think he would invest in "liberal propaganda".  Bank of America and the like control this country.  They pick and choose who succeeds, not you.  Unless you help.

I have posted a link to a Paypal terminal where you can donate to help us fund our business.  Here it is: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd =_flow&SESSION=cbCyVLyjED12m7jGvnvbS Br373AScB6IwVUNP7GjFOVBGZJQvI5oyX1QgOnfj fZ8hPUesW&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f9 41d8253416939c6057d1d6643efcf2af0c35fa53 e9f308f  Click "Send Money" and type in val1276@yahoo.com in the send money field along with your e-mail address in the "from" section.  I want to let you know that everyone who donates will get the service and magazine for free, regardless of the amount you donate.  I know I should not beg but I don't know what to do.  You can go to our site and see that our business is legitimate and worthy.  I am trying very hard to save our business but hopes are fading.
