Thoughts from a working class American.
Mr. Bill
I must admit to being once again dumb founded at the naïve assumption of the Democrats that Republicans are genuine when they talk bi-partisanship.
In the first place it was the Republicans who ended the notion of bi-partisanship during their reign of fiscal terror from 2001 through 2007 with the brief exception of a year and a half in which the Democrats were in the majority.
Republicans in the Senate regularly rammed bills through at behest of the Dick Cheney and the Republican hierarchy of special interest that were intent upon raiding the nation’s treasury for their own personal gain.
Never before in history has the United States spent so much and gone so far into debt not for the good of the American people we are in a war in Iraq which we did not need to fight that has cost us over 2 trillion dollars.
The reason I say over 2 trillion dollars is due to the Enron style financing of the war which Bush and Cheney brought to Washington the total cost will never be known.

The Big question is why doesn’t anyone have the guts to tell Dick Cheney to shut up?
I can’t believe he is still getting away with claiming that the Bush administration and Republicans kept us safe for 8 years.
Excuse me Mr. X-Vice President September 11, 2001 was on your watch, 2,974 victims of terrorism dead on American soil on your watch Mr. Cheney.
To use a term which is actually an understatement “what hutsba” I guess in Dick Cheney’s mind they didn’t take office until September 12, 2001, well here’s a new flash Dick yours and the Republicans tenure from 2001 to yes even present.
September 11, 2001 – 2,974 dead – Terrorism
March 2003 to present – 4,299 dead Americans – Iraq War
March 2003 to present – 31,156 wounded Americans – Iraq War
The as yet unknown cost of the Bush administration’s failure to finish the job in Afghanistan which has allowed the Taliban to regroup, reorganize and recruit to greater numbers than before the Afghan war.
Persons like Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh talk big they talk brave and they talk as if they are on the front lines of defending America.
The truth is they are only brave precisely because someone else is doing the fighting and dying for America both Cheney and Limbaugh had an opportunity to defend America to show they were actually men and not the cowards we now know them to be.
In Cheney’s case a record five that’s right count them FIVE deferments from service at a time when his country truly needed him.

Please join me in sending good thoughts and prayers Madelyn's way... Get well soon Mrs Dunham, we all want to see you on January 20th when Barack is sworn in!!!
Watch the video of Michelle Bachmann's interview on Hardball as she calls Senator Obama "Anti-American" and links "liberal left-wing politicians" to "anti American" activities...
She basically says that if you aren't republican than you are "anti American"... I just donated to her opponents campaign... I was so appalled at this woman's comments that I just couldn't just sit there-- I had to open up my empty wallet and give another $20.00 to help rid the congress of this piece of trash!!! She will do NOTHING to unite this country during these hard times when we all need to work together... She needs to ride off on her broom to the land of congressional members with NO ethics!! Below is my letter to her opponent:
Dear Mr. Elwyn Tinklenberg,
My name is Gretchen and I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife, mother of 5 and grandmother, from Washington State. I just donated to your campaign. I just listened to your opponent’s terrible comments about Barack Obama and felt the need to contribute to your campaign. We don't need politicians in Washington D.C. that illicit this type of hate. We need people who will address the issues that we all are facing in these difficult times. A Republican, Colin Powell said it best today, when he stated how disappointed he was with this type of campaign-- one that distracts us from the real issues that hard-working Americans are facing on a daily basis. We will ALL need to work hard to restore our country back to the strong nation it once was-- Your opponent’s words/beliefs will prevent this from happening. Best wishes to you and to the people of Minnesota from Washington State!!! Gretchen

Subject: Sign up for Camp Obama in Texas
Dear Xxxxxxxx,
My name is Juan Sepulveda and I'm the new State Director for the Obama campaign here in Texas.I want to tell you about an exciting program we're running here called Camp Obama.
During this two-day session, people like you will be taking their support for this movement to the next level by learning the organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on.
Camp Obama attendees will receive real world organizing experience that will have a direct impact on this election. Graduates of Camp Obama will go on to become Deputy Field Organizers who will lead this campaign to victory in crucial battleground states around the country.
Find out more about this exciting opportunity to take a leadership role in this movement for change.
By participating in Camp Obama, you'll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned that real change happens from the bottom up.
That experience transformed Barack's life and made him who he is today.
Camp Obama is your chance to put those very same principles into action -- to win this election and to strengthen democracy in communities around the country.
After completing the program, you'll be required to work as a Deputy Field Organizer in a battleground state where you'll be organizing supporters and helping lead our grassroots Get Out The Vote operation.
Apply for a spot at a Camp Obama near you and become a leader in our movement for change:
http://tx.barackobama.com/CampObamaTX
This campaign relies on the passion and enthusiasm of ordinary supporters, but it needs leaders who can organize those supporters and turn their enthusiasm into votes on Election Day.
Camp Obama is your chance to step up and become a leader in this movement.
Thanks,
Juan
Juan Sepulveda
Texas State Director
Obama for America
