"The Sweet-Tart Club"
About the Author
A little bit sweet, and a little bit tart ............the perfect Democratic woman! (Men who love lots of sweet-tarts are most welcome.)
I just was forwarded an email from an elderly family member. It calls for a boycott of the new "muslim" stamp.
It was soooooooooo bad on soooooo many levels.
The source appears to be:
Peggy Smith
Ada County Highway District | 3775 Adams St. Garden City, Idaho 83714
(On Government time?) Now Ms. Smith may have forwarded this, but it was from a government computer and is clearly discriminatory.
Far from patriotic, I find this unamerican. I would remind the author that many muslim americans have also fought for our freedoms and that this country is made up of many peoples and many faiths. Violoent acts are certainly not confined to muslims. Just watch your local news and see how many of those arrested are muslim. Misguided people do bad things.
HERE IS THE email...

USPS New 42-Cent Stamp!!! Celebrates Muslim holiday.
If there is only ONE thing you forward today... let it be this!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of Pan Am Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military Barracks in Saudi Arabia !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001 !
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!
Now President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 42 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp..
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office. All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors..
REMEMBER ~ Pass this along to every Patriotic AMERICAN that you know and let's get the word out !!!
Here is something to chew on .... They (MUSLIMS) are getting their own stamp! BUT, don't dare to dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property! This is truly UNBELIEVABLE !!!
----------
I hope someone looks into this.

Below is a list of Reps who voted NO on Healthcare. I got the info from the Washington Post.
My Representative, BRAD ELLSWORTH, voted YES.
THANK-YOU from the bottom of my heart. I went door to door speaking for you, Mr. Ellswoth, as I did for our President and now am proud to say you upheld your end by voting for the Healthcare so many of your people need. I heard it over and over, from house to house. Now don't forget the rest.. read the Platform, and remember those who came to the polls for you.
Thank-you Ms. Pelosi, for my children and grandchildren. Thank-you for all the people I spoke with last year, many of whom, registered to vote in hope of healthcare reform.
Dennis Kucinich is on this list. I agree with him much of the time. He is the only one on the list who, I KNOW, did it for noble,(if misguided, IMHO), reasons. I'm sure there are a few others.
Throwing out the baby because the bath water is dirty is not an answer. We need to clean the water. On this bill, it will take time and revisiting it for possibly years.
I'm pragmatic enough to see that we need to get our foot in the door, take what we can get, and live to fight another day. This is not over. We can add to this later. We have to get it started.
BUT!!!!!!!!! There are others on this list who voted for special interests and not for us.
I am a "straight ticket" democrat. If they are on my ticket, they get my vote, whether I like it or not. I do not vote Republican for policy reasons. Their platform shows me, they do not believe as I do.
I resent those who carry our banner and do not work for our causes.
Some of our Senators and Representatives really need to read OUR platform.
HEALTHCARE
CLEAN ENERGY
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
EDUCATION
CIVIL RIGHTS
WORKER'S RIGHTS
and all the other things this party stands for.
REMEMBER WHO VOTED AGAINST US. DEMAND A REASON! VOTE THEM OUT IF THEY ARE GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE PEOPLE. WE HAVE PRIMARIES! THEY NEED COMPETITION JUST AS THE INSURANCE COMPANIES DO.
Is your Rep on this list?

Question them and if you don't like the answer, get a progressive candidate in the next primary. Go to the meetings.. We can't expect Obama to do everything.
WE have other issues we need to address.. watch how they vote.
If your Rep voted yes, call and thank them. It has not been easy for them. The misinformation has been brutal and I know here in Indiana, the negative ads have been non-stop and very confusing. Many of our Reps will need help in the future because of the money which has been pouring out against our policies. They will need help educating the voters about WHY we need our policies to be enacted.
If we want them to work for us, we have to help them.
It's up to us to MAKE our government work.

Thank-you, Mr. President.
Thank-you for turning the tide from aggression, arrogance and posturing to a new flood of listening, diplomacy and tolerance of the diverse cultures and peoples who inhabit this earth.
During the campaign, all the times I stood in line to hear you speak, I believed you were the man for our time. The man who could, if elected, move us from the brink of catastrophe to a new era of peaceful cohabitation with the world. You are, after only a few short months, fulfilling my hopes beyond my expectations.
I am truly proud to have had a tiny part in helping you to be elected.
I am eternally grateful and in your debt. You ARE making the world a safer place.
Making PEACE is much harder than making WAR.
Peace to you,

Last night our President backed down the special interests and negative forces in Washington and across the country, and stood up for seniors, middle class families and everyone else who uses healthcare whether they have insurance or not.
I have never been so proud of a vote in my life as I am casting a vote to elect him!
Today we have a duty. If we want this, we can make it happen.
1. Call your Congressmen and Senators TODAY. Tell them you want the Obama plan, and you will be watching to see how they vote.
2. Email your friends and family, tell them to call their Congressmen and Senators.
3. Wear your buttons and talk to people in the grocery store, the post office, everywhere. This is how we won the election against the odds, remember? We can do this.
4. If you have a yard sign.. put it out again! Show support for our President!
This is a call to PUBLIC SERVICE.
We have a unique opportunity to be a part of something which will save lives for longer than we are alive. What a noble and worthwhile cause.
Tell a neighbor and save a women with breast cancer.
Tell a friend and save a child with swine flu.
Tell a brother and save a senior who can't afford medicine.
Tell a sister and save a man with prostate cancer.
How many of our fellow Americans must die because of lack of care or no care?
We can fix that!
LET'S DO THIS!

I received an update on facebook from OH rep. D. Kucinich today. in part it said.
"The masquerade is over! The "public option" is ... dead.
Health care reform is now a private option: WHICH FOR PROFIT INSURANCE COMPANY DO YOU WANT? You have to choose. And you have to pay. If you have a low income, under HR3200 government will subsidize the private insurance companies and you will still have to pay premiums, co-pays and deductibles.
The Administration plan requires that everyone must have health insurance, so it is delivering tens of millions of new "customers" to the insurance companies. Health care? Not really. Insurance care! Absolutely. Cost controls? No chance.
You will next hear talk about "co-ops." The truth is that insurance company campaign contributions have co-opted the public interest."
The hotly-debated HR3200, the so-called "health care reform" bill, is nothing less than corporate welfare in the guise of social welfare and reform. It is a convoluted mess. The real debate which we should be having is not occurring.
Removing the "public option" from a public bill paid for by public money is not in the public interest. What is left is a "private option" paid for with public money. Why should public money be spent on a private option which does not guarantee 100% coverage nor have any cost controls? A true public option would provide 30% savings immediately which would then cover the 1/3rd of the population who presently have no healthcare.
Unfortunately, under HR3200, the Government is choosing winners and losers in the private sector; proposing to spend public funds on subsidizing insurance companies who make money not providing health care. This process wil insure only one thing - the expansion of profits. Gone is the debate over cost.
As a result of current negotiations, the Medicare Part D rip-off will continue for another decade, further fleecing senior citizens. Drug importation has been dropped, so no inexpensive drugs can be accessed from other nations.
Instead we are told the pharmaceutical companies will accept a 2% cut in the growth rate of their profits - this they call cost control!"
Please read HR676 and contact your congress person.
I'm very concerned about this.. If I am required to pay for something which does not work...
I don't know if I will do that.. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will feel that way.. If this is true, it is a set up. We will be breaking the law if we don't buy what won't help us.....

marsha

I just heard some Dick, (literally his name was Dick something), saying the "bush recession" had ended and the "Obama recession" was beginning. He also was slamming government healthcare... Saying we don't have enough doctors to treat everyone and we will have "rationed care".
It was Bush propaganda all over again. I hate NBC these days... Where is ABC anyway? I can't even get a signal. UGH!
If we lose on public healthcare it will be because WE dropped the ball!
CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMEN- WRITE LETTERS-CALL THEIR OFFICES!
The switchboard number is 202-225-3121. For people who don't know their reps or senators just give the operator your zip code they'll direct your call to the right office.
They have to know we mean it and we are watching. IT'S UP TO US!
Some pages to check out on facebook..
One is a site which calls for the termination of public healthcare for congress!!

Dear Friend,
There is an important bill in Congress that will bring more diversity of news, views and music to our radio dial.
Please urge your member of congress to pass the Local Community Radio Act. This important bill will open our airwaves to more low power FM radio stations across the country and reconnect communities to a medium that has been overrun by corporate conglomerates.
Please visit the URL below to learn more about this campaign and to urge your elected officials to support this important legislation:

Please urge your member of congress to pass the Local Community Radio Act. This important bill will open our airwaves to more low power FM radio stations across the country and reconnect communities to a medium that has been overrun by corporate conglomerates.
Please visit the URL below to learn more about this campaign and to urge your elected officials to support this important legislation:

Barack Obama is gifted and is a gift to the American people.
He is following up on everything he promised... I have faith he has his hands firmly on the wheel and that he will drive/push or carry us out of this....

Please support congressman D. Kucinich's attempts to investigate this.

"As Chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommitee, I have sent a letter to the SEC asking for documents that relate to [the NY Times] report that they were told to 'stand down' rather than enforce the law against the Stanford Group going back to 2006. If this is true - and this is an official that is quoted - then we have the beginnings here of a massive scandal and we've got to get to the bottom of it," says Congressman Dennis Kucinich on Fox Business.

To whom it may concern...
This is what real committed democrats are saying about Partybuilder on facebook....
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=64684029328
In case you haven't noticed, Partybuilder is dying. The real posts are buried right away and so finding any substance means digging past post after post of link laced garbage... obituaries, hollywood news, attempts at short story writing.... It's unreal.
PARTYBUILDER did some real good for a couple of years.. Is the DNC just done with it????
Please lobby for the life of PB. It is being destroyed. I don't even go as often... it's depressing.
peace to you,

I can't get in it....can get to my dashboard for a second, then get Internet Explore error. i've tried everything to fix...can't even get new account unless I set up new email. That's why I haven't been on for all these months...and I appreciate it now. i have a much more peaceful life. :) I miss the old PB days....but not the endless group fighting towards the end.

my response....
If we allow ourselves to be excluded, we are at the mercy of those who would destroy the progressive agenda...
We were given an opportunity to speak our minds... that forum made a difference... here we are talking among ourselves...speaking to the choir.... If you can't get in ... PLEASE!!!!!!!!! contact the matt or someone.. Call Washington... the party headquarters....
I wonder how many others are effected.
