Okay, this is pretty funny in a not-ready-for-prime-time kind of way.

Watch the young man who shows up on the right side of the screen as he turns to the camera over the shoulder of newly victorious GOP candidate for the US Senate and Todd Palin BFF Joe Miller.

In other wierd news…CO Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff sells his house in a media grab to get more campaign donations.

On June 10th, we all celebrated the defeat of the Murkowski resolution, which would have gutted the EPA’s ability to regulate carbon dioxide pollution. Why we needed to defeat Murkowski was explained well by NRDC Action Fund Executive Director, Peter Lehner, who wrote the following prior to the vote:

The insanity dance about jobs, jobless, and unemployment benefits.

Gray, a retired engineer and small-town mayor, supports Medicare For All, ending the wars, ending corporate personhood, eliminating trade deficit and breaking up “too big to fail” corporations.

On May 15th, the Green Party of New York nominated peace/labor/environmental activist Howie Hawkins for Governor, civil rights activist Colia Clark and environmental health advocate Cecile Lawrence for US Senate, as well as Gloria Mattera for Lt. Governor and Julia Willebrand for Comptroller.

There are a handful of Senators who need to get in the game by announcing their support for comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation.

As BP pumps thousands of barrels of toxic oil into the Gulf of Mexico every day, the threat our dependence on fossil fuels holds should be clearer now than ever before. In the wake of this great tragedy, individual senators have the tremendous opportunity to break the gridlock, and step up to pass a comprehensive clean energy and climate policy. In particular, there are a few Senators who have a record of talking the talk on this issue, and the time has come for them to walk the walk.

Think about this, what if this Oil spill, as tragic as it is, provides us with the wake up call about how we power our world?
My first thought when the spill happened was, what if we had not gotten rid of the electric car of the 1990′s (from the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?)
and electric cars had grown in usage for the past decade? Would the drilling platform catastrophe still have happened?
No one can be sure, but what we can be sure of, is that it will keep happening until we change our cars from gas/oil powered to electric powered.
That’s why this petition is so important – the Gulf Oil Spill Electric Car Credit.
This petition asks for legislation to give a substantial credit for purchasing an electric car, and it has key provisions to put a lot of people to work, immediately – in a midterm election year.
But we need to get support for this idea in the US House and Senate.
That’s where you can help…

A heated primary race between Colorado’s newly-appointed Senator Michael Bennet and challenger Andrew Romanoff, has threatened to split the state party. Does the Vice Chair of the state party speak for all Democrats in CO? NO!
