On Monday, Wisconsin Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton (D) droped out of the 2010 Wisconsin gubernatorial race and that puts eyes on Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to enter the gubernatorial race as the Democratic candidate. Rumors have been around since August of this year that Mayor Barrett might be a candidate for Governor.
On Tuesday, Wisconsin for Tom Barrett launched TomForGovernor.com, a supplement to their Facebook Group that has over 700 members supporting Mayor Barrett for Governor in 2010.
From TomForGovernor.com:
Wisconsin for Tom Barrett is aimed at asking and supporting Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to run as a candidate for Wisconsin Governor. We believe Mayor Barrett is the best Democratic candidate for the Governor's Office. Mayor Barrett has been committed to creating family supporting jobs, strengthening neighborhoods. We believe that Mayor Barrett will make Wisconsin a safe and healthy environment for every resident.
Please join us in encouraging Mayor Barrett to run for Governor of the State of Wisconsin.
Scott Walker, the only major Republican candidate for Governor in Wisconsin, has already raised over one million dollars and is working hard to raise another million dollars while the Democrats in Wisconsin don't have a candidate. We need to keep Wisconsin a Blue State.
Please check out TomForGovernor.com and join the Facebook Group. Please encourage Mayor Tom Barrett to run for Wisconsin Governor. Mayor Barrett has a better political resume than other Democrat else considering a run. He is not only a politician but a citizen that cares deeply for Wisconsin.

We all know who is running this whole backlash, the Republican Party. Here's the proof: Rupert Murdoch has a monopoly on American mainstream news media, and every cable news station is either connected to him through mutual CEO friendships/funds. What Murdoch thinks is broadcast on every network in every shape or form. Murdoch is a registered Republican. To add to that, investors in these networks who are politically conservatives have the last say in what narratives and perspectives get put on screens. Why is Dobbs, Beck, and Cramer still on the networks when they screwed up so much and scare people to death? Think certain Arabian leaders who fund al-Queda and you have another form of domestic terrorism. Republican Congressmen and women are ordered by Steele to do whatever means possible to prevent universal health care from happening in this country "by any means necessary." Tap on Murdoch's shoulder, and we have our population scared shitless and left even more ignorant and uneducated on how Obama's health care will help us. Who is running this operation? G-O-P, who want to run this country from the backseat. Old strategies indeed. The GOP won in 1994, they shouldn't win in 2009.
Another aspect of the GOP's desire to lynch President Obama is inherent racism. With everything Obama does, he is inspected and thought of differently because of the color of his skin. Former president Bush made this country so close to fascism, yet everyone is viewing his efforts as light and favorable. Now, an African American man is president and they are giving him the Malcolm X treatment. Talk about a double standard! Not to mention, if anything, this health care thing and people's misunderstandings on it have wakened the sleeping dragon, of racism. All this is hype and fear, what is this? The Bush Administration?!
If anything, people just need to educate themselves or at least someone should start a bumper sticker campaign, "Eight Years We Lived With An Idiot, Time To Start Thinking Again." I don't want to see President Obama hanging from a noose outside of the White House.
Obama needs to send a diplomatic team over there just to show that Obama is not Bush, that seems to be why Kim Jong-Il is testing him by threatening a nuclear attack on Hawaii. We can work this out people, because I don't want the worst to happen. I don't think anyone wants the worst to happen. I do not want to feel afraid anymore, like I was with George W. Bush, who went in and out of his way to scare the shit out of me.
Obama is not Bush, he'll do the right thing. Strong diplomacy, which we now have, is our way out of this mess.
In the wake of North Korea's attitude, however, I feel like as busy as we are with reviving our strong diplomacy, we need to use that again towards North Korea and use our resources properly to prevent any immature actions from taking place.
As someone who just experienced eight years of weak diplomacy and a man who only knew how to exploit them for his and an exclusive fews benefit, it is VERY important to stress that we need to use our diplomacy and not ending up prematurely exhausting it just to prove who's the man here. It is time to make peace a priority. We don't have to lead nations through conservative imperialism, we can lead by example. If we make peace a priority, we can energize our diplomats to encourage the same thing.
In the past, America has gone through a Cold War whose leftovers we still have in the refrigerator of our collective minds, and Bush did set up a Reaganite international standard before leaving his presidency. This American does not want 20th century reruns to determine the course of action for the next 4-8 years. If we make peace a priority, and actually work towards achieving that, then we can not deal with unfriendly countries and their nuclear experiments. Personally, I think Kim Jong-Il is bluffing when it comes to the whole "let's test nuclear arms on Hawaii so I can be taken seriously," but the mentality I have applies not only to him in this circumstance. Any male world leader who is trying to prove his masculinity through nuclear arms is not a man, but a coward with ammunition. George W. Bush was a coward with ammunition by trying to prove his masculinity through invading Iraq. I think President Obama is saying one thing and working out ways of preventing the worst from happening, which is good. It's pragmatic. We need pragmatism.
Because I for one, could live in a world without nuclear arms.
Economically, it was all about spending money, giving tax breaks to the better off, corporate tax breaks, and flushing our money down the drain into a guaranteed quagmire of foreign policy excrement(Iraq).With the rich getting richer and being allowed to break the rules for personal gain, we had an economic culture of Gordon Gekkos running around.
How this transpired into our foreign policy is this: Bush's Iraq was Reagan's Iran-Contra realized. By invading a country and using an unjustified,invalidated excuse(Reagan-communism; bush-terrorism), Bush was able to sponge benefits from Halliburton and disguise it as "bringing democracy to the world" but in effect giving communists in Nicaragua the same juice of support the way Bush the same ideological juice to support their activities through this distraction. By making sure Nicaraguan Communists got weapons from Iran with US taxpayer money, in the end it would supposedly make America come on top, the same way by making sure Americans originally believed the lie that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and thus, flushing our money down the drain with the support of top CEO bigwigs in our economy to "make the world safe for democracy." With weak diplomacy and overseas investments, the American economy was bound to get into a recession sooner or later. But, unlike Reagan, who totally fixed it so that his number 5 would get the blame(Oliver North) and not him, Bush just pressed away and faded out, thus making it safe to give Obama all the problems he is currently trying to solve.
Reagan and Bush had the religious right to back them up and expanding media conglomerates to convince the supposed uneducated masses that they were the big man in charge and that if you weren't okay with it, demonization and being called unpatriotic.L ike Reagan's Moral Majority's effect on the social climate of America, the values we stood behind we, as a country, were ready to trample on so long as the big man kept us scared shitless. Abortion, habeus corpus, Geneva Conventions, the Constitution, free election. We are currently experiencing what was literally leftover from the Bush administration.
and Bush made it safe to put all the blame on the guy fixing all the problems left behind: President Obama.After 8 years of unregulated economic activity, it makes sense why people are so uncomfortable and ready to play the fascist card because Obama is regulating again.
What Obama is doing is not as bad as people fear it to be. The companies he bought are only temporary buys until the company can independently function again, and some have recently graduated from that temporary fix. His plans of cutting off overshore accounts has to do with stimulating gross national product within the nation, the key to making America independently economically successful again. By limiting CEO's indulgent behavior, he is preventing another recession from happening in the next 25 years.and, another great thing, delegating the transference of national gross product from oil to alternative resources, which is sorely needed, because it will produce jobs and it will make the grass greener, so to speak. By universalizing health care with public and private options, Obama is creating healthy economic competition in the long run because with options come picking who has the best for you, etc. So far, amidst all this, his only competition is weak mass media propaganda paid for by the beneficiaries of the status quo and their affiliates and lobbyists who are dependent on their last financial fixes from oil and coal.
Just thought I'd share.
Also, he is doing the best he can to fulfill his campaign promises. Anyone with common sense and a sense of how long it takes for political change to happen in this country by D.C. standards should know by now that it takes time for these changes to occur. The most we can do is continue to stay informed, sign the petitions, and show our support. Also, it is important to know that a goal was to bring back respectable bipartisanship. The GOP is up to their old tricks and using their mass media conglomerates( since conservative Republicans own, invest in, and are more than likely to sponsor what news comes out of the boob tube than ever before) to misinform and scare the living daylights out of us and the people who cannot think for themselves.
In light of these things, I would like to commend President Obama for lifting the gag rule, trying to establish a timetable for leaving Iraq, developing a strong diplomacy team, improving our responsibility to the environment, and busting his ass to fix and stimulate our economy. He's doing the best he can, and hasn't lost sight of his principles that we voted for last November. The political right has done a lot to combat such progress, leaving some conservative Republicans to think that the way he is stimulating the economy and steering money back into the US "fascist." All he is doing is what the economy needs right now, basic regulation. Because of de-regulation dating all the way back to Reagan( not considering however Clinton's 8 years of successful economic prosperity and expansion, more on him later) and amplified by George W., not to mention our money being flushed down the toilet of Iraq and tax cuts for the rich 1% and tax breaks for corporations, we are in the current state that we are in. Our real problem is not with Obama, it is with our idea that a President can magically fix everything all at once like a magician while we sit back and do nothing about it. It is a time to do something about it. Clinton didn't fix Bush I's leftovers in the first 6 months of his presidency, and no one judged him harshly for it, we should do the same for President Obama.
One more thing, I am sad that California upheld its ruling against the equal right for people to marry of the same gender. But, there is a movement growing that will sure give whoever is behind these rulings, legal and otherwise, a run for their money.
Good night, and good luck!

Support the work of the Young Democrats by becoming a monthy donor, join our Tomorrow Club today at www.georgiayds.org/contribute
So the Season of Lent is upon us, and normally, even though I am not personally of a religious persuasion that practices Lent, I do try to honor the spirit of the times and donate a personal vice or delicacy to the practice.
This year, instead of giving up chocolate, or conserving energy, or what have you, I'm doing something a little different. I'm donating the price of a movie ticket a month to Young Democrats of Georgia. For me, being a HUGE Oscar fan, this is a big deal. But with the tough economy, Young Democrats around the state need the help of our state organization.
I figure $10 a month is an easy give. Looking at it one way, it's the price of a movie ticket, or perhaps a lunch that I take into work instead of eating out. For the work that Young Democrats chapters and our state do every day, every month, one meal out, or one movie ticket is a small price to contribute.

YDG has our work cut-out for us this year. We've trimmed budgets and made hard choices, but our programs and events for 2009 are still a hallmark of our organization. Things like:

Let's start 2009 off with a great sense of Community and Purpose. In this Season of giving UP, why not give TO at the same time?

Employee Free Choice Act and the Georgia Legislature
http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/georgiahr22
Situation: At a time of deepening recession and the loss of homes and health care, some Georgia state representatives are throwing mud at a problem that simply does not exist. They are wasting time by promoting House Resolution 22, a costly, unnecessary constitutional amendment that attacks the Employee Free Choice Act.
Georgia State House Resolution 22 is nothing more than politics at its worst. Some state representatives are spending their time going after working people when they should be trying to solve Georgia's budget crisis and making sure your schools and fire stations stay open.
Take Action: http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/georgiahr22
Georgia Environmental Action Network: Urge Metro District To Embrace Water Conservation
http://protectgeorgia.net/takeaction.asp?t=1&aaid=3688
The Metro District is revising its plan for managing Metro Atlanta's water supply. This plan is fatally flawed by discounting cost-effective conservation measures in lieu of expensive, unsustainable solutions to address future water supply needs.

Young Democrats Launch Service Project
Young Democrats are answering the call for service from our President-elect Barack Obama. Young Democrats from around the state are joining the project launched by the Women's Caucus to help provide food for the hungry.
As most of you know Georgia is facing budget shortfalls, like the rest of the country. Many of the food banks in Georgia are struggling to meet the demands that they are facing to provide food for the many Georgia families that need it. Thus, the first Service Project of this year is a Virtual Food Bank. All donations go directly to food banks in Georgia to help feed Georgia families. This virtual food drive will last from January 19-Feb. 19th. Please visit our donation page which is also linked on the Women's Caucus Facebook page, The Young Democrats of Georgia website (www.georgiayds.org) and the Young Democrats of Atlanta website (www.atlantayoungdems.org). Tell your friends and help YDG promote this easy way to give back to our fellow Georgians and answer the Call To Service from President-elect Barack Obama.
