Well actually, it's a special time for a special election.
When the champion of Health Care Reform pased on from this life, we pushed, as he requested for a special election to fill the seat of dear Sen. Kennedy.
Please be aware that you must be registered to vote by November 18 in order to vote in the December Senate primary election in Massachusetts. This election will select the candidates to replace Senator Edward Kennedy in the Senate.

Tell everyone!
I would like to see this senior economic advisor's opinions embraced by the administration. Most importantly, we require a new Glass-Steagall type regulation which would insulate and separate investment banking activities from comercial bank services.
Should an institution be viewed as "too big to fail" the FDIC insurance premiums should be too large for it to be a viable entity, especially if the risks of investment banking operations are a portion of the commercial bank's activities.
The Framingham Town Election will be held on Tuesday, April 7, 2009.
The polls are open from 7:00am until 8:00pm.

I'm beginning to make some plans to head to DC in Jan. to attend Barack's inauguration. I haven't seen any info on the specifics. Does anyone have a heads up on tickets, places to stay, and the best way to get there from Boston?
What's the scoop! I really, really would like to go and capture the day in images.
I found this article here talking about tickets: Link to National Ledger
Thank you all for your continued support and belief, based in action that YES WE CAN! Yes We Can and Will continue to weave strong connections of unity, where it was said that none could be formed! We are almost to the starting line. Please keep moving. Your help is needed now, and will be needed even more after the ballots are counted! The work you have done, no matter how seemingly small, is powerful and moving towards a better American and world. Thank you all for your efforts. See you tomorrow! The rally went well even with the chill of fall in the air, the Obama music provided by Marina's son was pumping and helped to keep us moving! Thanks to all the organizers and the coordinator of the event Deborah Lannon who planned it in a few short weeks!

YES WE CAN! For Obama our Nation and Our world,
The following song is one which reminds me what we are fighting for!
"YES WE CAN CAN" - made popular by THE POINTER SISTERS Now's the time for all good men to get together with one another. We got to iron out our problems and try to live as brothers. And try to find a piece of land without stepping on one another. And do respect the women of the world. Remember you all have mothers. We got to make this land a better land than the world in which we live. And we got to help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give. I know we can make it. I know darn well we can work it out. Oh yes we can, I know we can can Yes we can can, why can't we? If we wanna get together we can work it out. And we gotta take care of all the children, the little children of the world. 'cause they're our strongest hope for the future, the little bitty boys and girls. We got to make this land a better land than the world in which we live. And we got to help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give. I know we can make it. I know darn well we can work it out. Oh yes we can, I know we can can yes we can can, why can't we? If we wanna, yes we can can. ---Written by Allen Toussaint---

Obama-Biden:
the only presidential
ticket ever powered
wholly by us American
people as individuals
who work and care.
It's our own accounts
against Exxon-McCain's
big money, Washington lobbyists,
media arms and special interests.
