Obama Cosponsors Freedom of Choice Act (letter)

blueball2 — Tue, 22 May 2007 00:04:42 EDT

Dear Beth:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your support for legislation that would protect access to reproductive health services. I understand and share your perspective on this critical issue.

I view the choice of whether to have an abortion as a deeply personal one that should be left to a woman, her family, her doctor and her conscience. For women who make that choice, I believe abortion should be safe, legal and rare — consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, and I will work hard to keep it that way.

The Freedom of Choice Act, or S. 1173, declares that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect her life or her health. I support this fundamental principle, and am a cosponsor of the Freedom of Choice Act. This legislation has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for review.

Furthermore, access to education, counseling and reproductive health services should be expanded. We can and must do more to ensure that every woman in every part of our country has real access to quality family planning services. I am a cosponsor of a bill introduced by Senator Harry Reid, S. 21, which seeks to expand access to preventive health care services that help reduce unintended pregnancies, reduce the number of abortions, and improve access to women's health care.

Also, I support government policies to encourage a variety of viable alternatives to abortion. I am, for example, a strong advocate of proposals that will make adoption easier and more affordable.

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
United States Senator

Obama Endorses Senator Durbin's Fair Elections Now Act!

blueball2 — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 13:05:31 EDT

Presidential Hopefuls on Public Financing and FENA
The three front-runners for the Democratic nomination for
President are on the record in support of public financing of
elections. John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama have
all come out strongly in favor of a change to the system. You
can see Edwards' endorsement here
Link and Clinton's here
Link. See this clip
Link of Obama's recent endorsement
of Senator Richard Durbin's Fair Elections Now Act, and
exhortation for public pressure on the issue here. Republican
presidential hopeful, John McCain, meanwhile has been less
supportive of public financing while on the campaign trail this
year, but has supported it strongly in the past
Link at the state level as well as
for the Presidential race. He has joined Obama in promising to
run under public financing in the general election if his
opponent agrees to do the same. It's encouraging to see
discussion of and support for this policy from the presidential
field; nobody knows better than the candidates racing to raise
the millions they'll need to get to the White House that
campaign financing needs an overhaul.

Speaking of the Fair Elections Now Act, it's been popping up in
the news left and right drawing positive editorials and LOTS of
attention on the letters to editor page
Link thanks to efforts of Public
Campaign Action Fund members. You can write your own letter to
the editor using our tool here

Great news! New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson plans to turn
his endorsement of public financing for judicial races into
action when he signs the bill recently passed out of the state
legislature in special session that would expand the state's
public financing program to include state Supreme and Appellate
court races: Link. He plans to
line-item veto the "poison pill" provision in the bill that
would require voters to amend the state constitution to
eliminate retention elections (making those judges run in
partisan races) before the public financing system could take
effect. New Mexico already has public financing available to
candidates for the state's Public Regulation Commission, and the
city of Albuquerque approved public financing for municipal
elections by ballot initiative in 2005. Many thanks to New
Mexico Common Cause and Public Campaign Board member Richard
Romero, for their efforts in passing this bill!

Maryland Campaign in Final Days
Thousands of emails, hundreds of calls, and a pair of lobby days
later we are in the last week of the Maryland legislative
session: the moment of truth for a Clean Elections win in the
state this year Link. In fact, the
Senate is schedule to vote today on the bill that would bring
full public financing for legislative elections in Maryland --
the state Assembly is already in support. Though Senate
President Mike Miller (D) is notoriously opposed to Clean
Elections, the gossip in Annapolis is that grassroots organizing
(all those emails, all those calls) and the tireless efforts of
Progressive Maryland, Maryland NAACP, Maryland Common Cause,
Maryland Sierra Club, and The Reform Institute, have really
boosted support among previously ambivalent legislators for
passing Clean Elections. It's going to be quite a showdown -- as
soon as we get the results of the vote we'll let you know!

April Showers?
Did Uncle Sam give you a refund on your federal tax return this
year? How about turning a little bit of that around with an
investment in winning Clean Elections through a gift to Public
Campaign Action Fund Link Your tax
dollars fund the policies of the country, what better way to
ensure they are spent responsibly than by establishing Clean
Elections systems that make elected officials accountable to
you?

VOICEing Support
Public Campaign staffers checked their inboxes a few weeks ago
and found an email from National Field Director Jeannette
Galanis: "I think we need to go to Iowa." Why? Because a
dedicated group of legislators and activists from Iowa Citizens
for Community Improvement and the Clean Elections Coalition had
advanced full public financing legislation, the Voter-Owned Iowa
Clean Elections (VOICE) Act, farther than they ever had in the
state: far enough to make a win this year a real possibility.

A pair of bills, HSB 105 championed by Representative Pam Jochum
(D-Dubuque) and SSB 1173 headed up by Senator Mike Connolly
(D-Dubuque) have passed out of their respective State Government
committees and are moving on to Appropriations, where they look
to face formidable opposition. We are gearing up for a full
court press grassroots field effort; getting calls in to
legislators in support of VOICE, getting the word out through
door-to-door canvassing and phone banking, and ramping up
lobbying efforts in Des Moines to win Clean Elections for Iowa!

Fox News Horrible Record Attacking Black People Ban The Presidential Debates Deal Sign Letter

blueball2 — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 18:54:54 EDT

Dear Friends,

Fox News has a horrible record of attacking Black people, politicians,
and cultural institutions. But, at this very moment, the Congressional
Black Caucus has agreed to partner with Fox News to host presidential
debates prior to the 2008 elections.

For the CBC Institute to partner with an organization like Fox
News--given its hostility to Black political interests--is
shameful. I've signed on with ColorOfChange.org to help prevent them
from making this serious mistake. Will you join us in calling on the
Institute to drop its talks with Fox?

Clarence Page: New media, but the same old game

Clarence Page
New media, but the same old game

Published March 25, 2007

WASHINGTON -- Here's an inviting and cautionary note from an Old Media geezer to the new-school bloggers, Webheads and YouTubers: Welcome. You're a valuable addition to the presidential landscape. Just don't get too full of yourselves.

I am moved to inject this little dose of realism into all of the hoopla that has followed the unmasking of the man who created and placed the hilarious "Big Sister" ad that lampoons Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on YouTube.

Drawing more than 2 million hits in its first days, the spoof re-edits Apple's classic "Big Brother" Super Bowl TV ad to portray Clinton as an Orwellian talking-head image on a huge screen that is shattered by a feisty young woman with an iPod in her ears. The ad closes with the Web address of Clinton's rival presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama.

The Illinois senator denied any association with the ad, noting with a wry chuckle that his campaign didn't even have the technical capabilities for such a slick job. Actually, it indirectly did. Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post political blog, put what she described as a team of 30 Web staffers to work. They found the ad's creator was Philip de Vellis, 33, a Democratic Web tech wizard who worked at Blue State Digital, the Washington-based Internet firm whose founders include Joe Rospars, who oversees the Obama Web site.

That's embarrassing for Obama, who has presented himself as above that old mudslinging low-blow politics as usual. But, in fairness to him and to Clinton, whose fans already have posted anti-Obama clips on YouTube and elsewhere, a candidate can't be held responsible for actions by all of his supporters.

Progressive vs Neocon Strategy for World Democratization. Or is it vs? Hillary wont apologize.

blueball2 — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:43:42 EDT

What is the difference between a Democratic globalized strategy and a Republican one? Tony Hill doesn't think there is much of a difference between a Progressive world view and a NeoCon world view. This top link is a critical review of going thought in the Democratic Party perhaps shedding light on a few more reasons why Hillary is so stubborn in not apologizing for voting to invade Iraq (i mean- besides what I think is a highly probable pervading psychological denial she obviously has due to Bill being pursued for apologies on Lewinsky and her suffering mental torture and abuse because of him)

Link Please feel free to comment me and Tony Hill's article here or on my MySpace page above. I think you will have to have a MySpace account to leave a comment there.

Barack's Austin Speech

By now you might have joined some other groups and have seen this but I thought you might want to see it in case. The crowd is amazing. The flash player on the site loads easily if you use IE instead of Firefox but you may have to update your player anyway. I found the addy separates in two so it is best to highlight, copy it and paste it into your IE

Geffen for Obama08! Methinks the Lady doth protest too much

blueball2 — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 10:12:38 EST

For the Washington Post on David Geffen's remarks <A href="Link here.</A>

The only way this could really have a longstanding negative effect on Barack Obama is if he actually apologized in whole or in part to placate the psychologically troubled Hillary Clinton Campaign, a faction representing a woman who is inwardly and outwardly dogged by the self-perpetuating scandals of William Jefferson Clinton in American history. Thus, many in both parties will not vote for her and a continuing drama that threatens to cascade into another post George W. Bush multilateral disaster. This story the Clinton Campaign chooses to vividly highlight by attacking Obama08 over Geffen's comments - a private citizen that anyone can deduce has the right to speak his mind - only serves to illustrate the political, psychological and sociological sore points she has in a campaign for the Presidency. By this mania to finally attack Obama08, her campaign defensively orchestrates a neurotic rationalization for what they dread the most - publicity of what they cannot face Obama08 supporters believe in and might very well say at long last in the real world rather than the inner nether world her conflicts are regimentedly confined to and take place in.
