Katie Couric/Sarah Palin Interview
Katie Couric speaks with GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin about the nation’s economic concerns and the McCain campaign’s ties to lobbyists.

 Sarah’s interview with Katie Couric on September 25, 2008, is a clear indication that Palin is inexperienced and not at all seasoned nationally or internationally to step on the large stage of the United States as Vice President–maybe even President if something happens to McCain.  Katie asked her to explain why Alaska’s proximity to Russia [...]

Palin is pro-life — even in the case of rape or incest.  On the surface, a woman in the White House is a step forward for Women’s rights.  In reality, her views on abortion, sex education, and teen pregnancy are a major step backward for women’s rights. 
Roe vs. Wade insures access to legal and [...]

Let’s stick to the issues!  Let’s judge the candidates on the issues, not on the color of their skin.  All you have to do is look at the article about the Trooper Gate probe into Mrs. Palin.  What was it she said at the onset of this investigation before she decided to run with McSame, [...]

 
I found this on the bravenewfilms.org website last night.  This is more of the McSame as the Bush administration.  The chairman of the board, Bush, can’t run again so they want McSame to be the new chairman!  They run the US like its their own private corporation and they’re the CEOs!  Please read the article [...]

 
The news is full of reasons for the financial crisis we experienced this week.   Repealing the Glass-Steagell Act of 1933 (GSA) is believed to have set the stage for the disaster as well as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA).  Besides establishing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and regulating interest rates, provisions of the [...]

Adding insult to the injury of millions of American’s who are losing their homes, the Michigan GOP has plans to use foreclosure lists to challenge 11,000 McComb County voters at the polls.   And it’s naive to think they will stop with Michigan.  As seen in Ohio in 2004 and Florida in 2000, State election rules [...]

Dear Mr. Palin:

Congratulations on the selection of your wife as the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States.

We understand you are a member of the United Steelworkers of America (USW) Union.  While I’m sure you’re exited by your wife’s candidacy for this high office, you may be discouraged to learn that the union [...]

Sarah Palin just made her gubernatorial appointments to the Alaska Marine Transportation Board–the Board that provides advice on the state’s public transportation ferries–the Alaska Marine Highway.
Her appointment from Haines, the community in which I live, is Robert Venables.  Venables has supported roads and [...]

I’m sick and tired of Bush/Rove politicians refusing to meet with House Judiciary Committees and investigators. This kind of arrogance is alarming. Today, the Huffington Post reports that Sarah Palin — taking a page right out of the Rove playbook — is refusing to meet with Troopergate investigators. It’s time to hold [...]

Protesters lined the overcast streets of downtown Anchorage - Alaska’s largest city - to protest Palin within hours of her speech on Saturday. The record crowd estimated at 1500 - most of them women - carried signs that read, "Pro Woman, Anti-Palin," and "Voted For Her Once: NEVER AGAIN" sending a strong message that Palin [...]

What some of the night time talkshow hosts are saying this political season. . .
"By the way, here’s good news, ladies and gentlemen: the Palin family crisis that we were talking about on Sunday and Monday, that has been solved now, and, today, the baby is being adopted by Angelina Jolie." –David Letterman

This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.
 

 
Remember, it was not until 1920 (not even 100 years ago) that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote. The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying [...]
