MORE OF HILLARY'S DISTORTIONS - THIS ONE ABOUT PROVIDING MORE JOBS IN INDIANA - The ad that is running in Indiana with pictures of a Valparaiso, IN factory that has been shut down - Magnequench. According to Hillary's ad, President George W. Bush was responsible for that plant's shutdown. TRUTH: The sale of the plant to the Chinese had to be approved by The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ( an executive branch panel ). It was approved by this committee in 1995 ! - Who was President ? BILL CLINTON ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I have written a letter to Congressman Donnelly (D) 2nd District - IN requesting him to take leadership in denouncing the behavior and attacks against Sen. Obama. Please do the same with your local congresspeople and Senators. This type of behavior is unacceptable and should be stopped as soon as possible. God only knows what some of the radical right wingers think and could take action into their own hands.

Thanks, Diana

VOTER REGISTRATIONS MISSING ? ? ?

Attached is an article regarding new voter registrations that are being purged or missing - it seems to be occuring in areas where there are minorities voting. Please be aware and do whatever you can to alert authorities ( and not Republican authorties, they seem to be behind it ).

Sen. Obama's campaign issued a memo to reporters on how Sen. McCain has had to move to Sen. Obama's positions - because he has been wrong all along ! Boy!

Keep it up Sen. Obama - can't wait to get rid ( legally - nothing physical ) of the present administration!

DAMN THOSE BI-LINGUALS !! DAMN GOOD !!

In honor of Sen. Obama's calls to teach our children another language in addition to their mother tongue of English, for your enjoyment here is ABBA, one of my favorite groups singing in Spanish. In case you are not familiar with ABBA ( they are an older group from my college days ) - they are Swedish and have numerous albums and songs they have sung in Spanish and other languages to include Spanish.

Not to mention, that there are several education studies that confirm that just like learning to play a musial instrument, learning an additional language in addition to your mother tongue increases your IQ.

Need I say more ?

Best Reasons 2 Elect Sen. Obama

By new day 4 us - Jul 20th, 2008 at 12:09 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

Someone, a former Hillary supporter had written a blog post regarding her lack of enthusiasm for supporting Sen. Obama as she came over from the Hillary camp. She wanted other bloggers on MYBO to give her reasons to support Sen. Obama enthusiastically.

One of the points that attracted me to Sen. Obama's bid for the presidency was his efficiency. Yes, that is a point that has not merited great discussion. The article linked below will detail the differences between the McCain campaign and Sen. Obama's campaign which speaks to the cause of efficiency.

If the efficiency and the focus of the Obama campaign can be translated to the workings of the US govt. once Sen. Obama takes office, can you imagine all the millions of dollars that could be saved in our wasteful government's intertwinings and bureaucracies ?

To this blogger, I appreciate your loss - I can imagine how I would have felt if Sen. Obama had lost. Both of these campaigns were not only campaigns, but movements as well. Movements that both of these candidates carried and carried well. While I am sorry that you do not resonate with Sen. Obama's campaign, the other alternative is frightful.

So I am giving you my initial primary reason for supporting Sen. Obama and supporting him enthusiastically. And I hope that if all the MYBO bloggers can add to your list, maybe you can find a point that will resonate with you to support Sen. Obama with all the enthusiasm you had for Sen. Clinton.

NO TO BAYH AS VP CANDIDATE ! AND I LIVE IN IND !

By new day 4 us - Jul 20th, 2008 at 10:50 am EDT

I would respectfully request Bayh not be considered as a VP candidate. Not only for the reasons as listed in this article but I find him non responsive to information. I have contacted his Senate office contact email address and have never received any kind of response. I would go for Lugar before I would go for Bayh. He was a huge HRC supporter which is not a problem, except that since the primary, he has been absent from campaigning for Sen. Obama.

He's also accepted money from AK STEEL - an environmental polluter.

So, once again, NO TO BAYH.

There were some of you that were whining about Sen. Obama's decision to decline public campaign financing. He had never undonconditionally agreed to accept public funds. The key word is unconditional. McCain would never agree to the terms. The link above will tell you why.

Be open minded and research - the media loves to only give you some of the facts to create controversy.

Ten years ago Osama Bin Laden felt we had stolen oil because we were buying it at $ 11 a barrel and was demanding $ 144 a barrel.

Guess what a barrel of oil is now?

And to Bush and MC Cain - Mission Accomplished for Osama Bin Laden !!!

There is a great article by MSNBC that came out right before the July 4th holiday and the mainstream media ( other than MSNBC ) didn't catch. I can't find it in any of the blogs or in print and it is sooooo important - it supports Sen. Obama's position in foreign relations by The Chairmen of the Joints Chief of Staff Mullen and disputes McCain's stand that we should not engage in talking with our enemies ( I don't understand how you would resolve anything and look at where we are now ).

DIPLOMACY WITH IRAN !!

I found a great story today by Mitchell Bard about a little GAO report that mainstream media / Mc Cain / and the GOP seem to have overlooked. THE SURGE IS FAILING IN ITS MAIN GOAL - to give the Iraqi govt. breathing room to get its case in order.

But listening to McCain today - "the surge is working".

Please get the information out on this GAO report.

Today in The Huffington Post, there is an article in the politics section that links to The NY Times about the person who has built this website. His name is Chris Hughes and he was one of the founders of FaceBook. I don't know about you, but I love MyBO.
Thank you Chris! And I hope you end up at The White House.

One of the things that has impressed me with the Obama campaign is the efficiency of the whole thing. If we could translate that to the bureaucracies and inefficiencies of our govt. we could save billions of dollars. And that includes the efficiency of this website and how we can communicate with our local campaigners or those far away and get ideas on how to proceed.

Once again, I love MyBO and I hope Chris goes to Washington!

Thanks again . . .

FISA info from my congressman 2nd district of IN

By new day 4 us - Jul 2nd, 2008 at 11:28 am EDT

One of my congressman's staffers called me with information on FISA and I have researched a couple of other articles.

This bill was a compromise between the Republicans and the Democrats. The Republicans, of course, wanted blanket immunity for the telecoms. The Democrats, of course, didn't. To get this bill passed there had to be a compromise.

The FISA Amendment throws the lawsuits into the District Courts for review. Therefore, the District Courts will review each case on its merits and see if it should proceed with the case. Evidently, the sticking point with a lot of people is that if you consent to do something in a good faith effort to help and broke the law in doing so, the fact that you attempted to act in good faith should absolve you. I was told this clause applies to criminal law also. I will have to continue to research this.

So, no - the bill does not allow for retroactive blanket immunity. The District Courts will review all the cases.
