World AIDS Day 2008
http://worldaidsday.org
The number of people living with HIV is continuing to rise in every part of the world... There are now 33 million people living with HIV worldwide...
WAD: 21 years
Twenty-one years ago, a summit of health ministers realised that a united global effort was required to halt the spread of HIV. As a result, World AIDS Day emerged as the first international health day in December 1988.
The aim of World AIDS Day is to bring to people's attention the worldwide challenges and consequences of the epidemic - ultimately halting the spread of HIV and improving the lives of people living with the virus.
Each year the campaign is an opportunity for organisations throughout the world to highlight the HIV pandemic in order to raise awareness and bring about change Read More »

I would like to congratulate President Elect Obama and Vice President Elect Biden for winning the general election. Also my condolence to him and his family on the loss of his grandmother.
While he might not be my candidate of choice and I still have large reservations about Obama/Biden, I did vote for them (especially after Chaney backed McCain). Now I hope he does some of what he says he will do (no president can solve all problems), and I do hope he remembers that Hillary did campaign hard for him. While he might be the new President and I will in general support him, my heart is now and forever Hillary/Bill, for I remember all they had done for my communities.
I am now and forever a true support of the Honorable Senator Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and President William "Bill" Jefferson Clinton.

Now that the dust has settled in Denver, and all the kool aid was drunk. with McCains pick for VP it is now even clearer what a mistake Obama made by NOT picking Hillary as his running Mate. Us Hillary fans who can NOT and will NOT bring our selves to vote for Obama we now have the Opportunity to help smash the glass ceiling that we helped Hillary, put those 18 million cracks in.
I have been a strick democrat since 1981, have donate much money to Democratic causes. this will be MY first year of NOT voting for the democrat on the ticket. This is the beaty of free speach adn voting our hearts adn councious that we DON NOT have to vote because we are told to.
When I found out that a fellow Michgan delegate was removed from the convention by obama's staff because They DID NOT want to VOTE for OBAMA and would rather vote for McCain. this shows me how Sen Obama DOES NOT believe in Free speech if you DO NOT agree with him.
HIS Policies and votes show how much of a risk he really is. he DOES not gaurantee he will place any other types of Supreme court justices any better than BUSH.
The Party officals of Dean adn pelosi are not any better, Ms Pelosi has handed President BUSH EVERYTHING he wanted adn more on a silver platter. she has NEVER stood up againgst him and will probally fight back on Obama's plans over Bush's/ What a SHAME.
This is why I WILL write in Hillary os not a vote for McCainbut as A VOTE AGAINGST Mr OBAMA and the DNC.
If More people did this it woud Show the leaders of the DNC that we will NOT just DRINK the Koolaid and tell us to vote for the candidate no matter how bad they may be because of a back room deal made in 2004 with Obama.

I'm not sure I agree 100%, but it's a general idea.

While I may not like Obama's attitude and behavior much, this guy on youtube speaks very well about the whole situation between the Hillary and Obama supporters. I recommend listening to whole video before commenting.
And by the way he's very cute too.....

I'm confused about Obama's VP choice. Joe Biden is a man who's been in the Senate for 36 years and it definitely part of the old man thinking of politics, so why would Obama pick him if he is the agent of change? I would think Obama would pick someone who knows about the political machine, but is relatively new to the scene of the Senate but not as new as him.
Joe Biden has on more then one occasion come across as a racist and a sexist (My mom wanted to choke the man over the TV, for his behavior to the Latino community and women over the years) or maybe it's his plain speak manner that makes him come across as that and his words get misinterpreted.
Can someone explain why Obama would pick a person who would make others think twice about voting for him? I mean I am no big supporter of Obama, but was leaning to voting for him, now I have to think twice. In the Latino media Joe Biden has been quoted over the years as making statements about Latinos that do not come across as well let's just say proper and from my understanding he says absolutely nothing about GLBT rights. Maybe that's good cause they say if you have nothing positive to say you shouldn't say anything.

Register to vote, and send Voltage to play at the Democratic National Convention. We have songs that are perfect for the event already written, and I am already the number one democrat at the DNC.
The Idaho Young Democrats held a caucus meeting Thursday June 12, 2008 at the Idaho Democratic Convention in Boise, Id. Matt Kopydlowski organized the caucus in just a few weeks. Honestly, when he came up with this idea, I was scared. I've been to state-wide young dems meetings before where 10 people showed up and that is when I bring 7 of them. I was worried that it would be the same ol' group of young farts networking amongst ourselves, again. Just like in 2005, just like in 2006. But, boy, did I underestimate the power of youth this year and I am proud to admit it! Read More »

On June 6th, 2008 the average price of gasoline across the nation rose to $4 per gallon. “There’s nothing worse for our economy than surging energy prices at record highs,†said Mark Zandi, Chief Economist for Moodys.com. What do Jesse James and Big Oil have in common? Nothing if you believe the legends of Jesse James, who supposedly robbed from the rich and distributed his ill gotten gains to the poor. Big Oil robs from all of us and keeps the ill gotten gains for themselves. Read More »
Netroots Nation is coming to Austin next month and the only way I will be able to attend is if I win one of the scholarships being offered by Democracy for America. I am asking all my readers and blogging friends to help me make a dream come true.
They have announced at Democracy for America that one scholarship will be awarded solely on the number of grass roots supporters. I have 33 supporters so far but I know with the help of the people here I can make it to Netroots Nation.
Read More »After Senator Clinton's speech yesterday Obama supporters started vocalizing that HRC insisted her supporters turn efforts to Senator Obama. I maintain that creating party unity is NOT the responsibility of Senator Clinton. Rather, that job falls squarely on the shoulders of Senator Obama. I have the deepest respect and admiration for Senator Clinton. She cannot, however, convince me to vote for Obama. In fact, the ONLY person that can convince me to vote for Obama is Obama himself. He has 5 months to do just that.
Oh, how I love Howard Dean, let me count the ways... A. 50-state-strategy B. New DNC Policy. I'm sure most of us already have looked at this, but I do have some questions about it. Can we have a discussion here about what it means? Read More »
Many of us on here do more then just complain about the POTUS race. I'm wondering how many people here have had houseparties for candidates? What tips do you have on how to hold them and how to use them to raise money? Sure the Christmas Card list comes in handy if your friends are local, but what other ways have you found people interested in attending?
Please give me a few tips.
Thanks!
