Senator Durbin clumsily attempts to spin the Dem punt on Middle Class Tax Cuts

Since the mainstream media are not posing these important matters to our elected officials re: Afghanistan, it’s up to you and I to do it.

Legislators should meet with military families who oppose the deployment to Afghanistan.

The “DREAM Now Series: Letters to Barack Obama” is a social media campaign that launched Monday, July 19, to underscore the urgent need to pass the DREAM Act. The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, S. 729, would help tens of thousands of young people, American in all but paperwork, to earn legal status, provided they graduate from U.S. high schools, have good moral character, and complete either two years of college or military service.  With broader comprehensive immigration reform stuck in partisan gridlock, the time is now for the White House and Congress to step up and pass the DREAM Act!

This post will mark the completion of the first week of the DREAM Now Letters.  This social media campaign has been an immediate success, which is in large part due to the historic actions of DREAMers this week. 

Major bloggers from across the net, which I will link to below, have already cross-posted both Mohammad Abdollahi’s and Yahaira Carrillo’s stories.  The letters even made a brief appearance on memeorandum, a news aggregator that I’m addicted to.

Let’s face it. The Kagan nomination is a huge blow to civil liberties — and part of a pattern of the Obama presidency.

Lyndsey Graham is unable to produce positive results on an idea that no one supports.

If indeed there is fraud going on by leaders/members of Congress saying one thing to the public and conspiring in the back room to implement some thing else, then it is time to call the names and expose the culprits. All these shenanigans will damage Democratic Party reputation and result in loss of large number of votes come November. They seem to not realize that they will be shooting themselves in the foot
