Should Father's Day be canceled & President Obama withdraw government recognition of it by Presidential Decree?

By George McCasland - Jun 19th, 2009 at 4:20 pm EDT

Also listed in: Divorced Fathers for Barack | Fathers for Obama

With the growing rates of children conceived using sperm banks, as well as cases of mothers not knowing who the child's father was, let alone who their own father (the grandfather) was, should Father's Day be discontinued to avoid hurting the feeling of the children?

MADD Against Everyone

By Peter from Carrollton, TX - May 31st, 2009 at 7:25 pm EDT

MADD Against Everyone

This past Memorial Day, people got in their swimming trunks and bikinis and loaded up the Texas sized big rigs with alcohol. It’s Memorial day weekend and Dallas Police get the warrants to have a no refusal weekend and the right to draw your blood and take you to jail on the spot. Well who cares? Everyone should care because one group of Mad mom’s are infringing on peoples rights. If you are caught drinking on a boat, they can force you to do a breathalyzer, and if you refuse, they draw your blood on the spot and take you to jail. They say this is very effective because out of the 51 people that were tested, all of them plead guilty. Well, what I see is, Police officers are there to enforce the law. They have no right to administer medical procedures on anyone. Even if they take a class on how to do it and are certified. They are not licensed professionals, and they are impeding on Doctor/Patient confidentialities. Maybe this is just me, but this is an outrage. MADD should not get involved in activities at the lake or on the water. Sure, obey boating laws, and don’t litter on the beach but geez. Get a life MADD. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, not Mothers Against All Things Alcohol Related and no longer effect my children(because they are dead from DRUNK DRIVERS). Try to arrest me on a boat and take my blood, I’m going to swim my ass to a lawyer. Notice how the police believe that upon a refusal they have the automatic right to a search warrant. Probable cause to arrest never occurs to them. We don’t spend a lot of time teaching police the value or nuances of the 4th, 5th, or 6th amendments. So it’s not suprising that they have no working knowledge of your rights. By the way 4th = Unreasonable Search and Siezure, 5th = Right to Due Process, 6th = Right to Trial (Mostly the Part about Accusation, and Disclosure of Indictment). So get a lawyer because MADD just might make your city or state a Vampire Nation of Police with Permanent Warrants to draw your blood and take you to jail costing you up to $10,000 in fines and fees; not to mention community service, loss of drivers license, alcoholics anonymous classes, personality assessments, and annual fees totaling thousands.

We Have A New President!!

By Ani - Jan 21st, 2009 at 1:53 pm EST

Barack Obama transformed himself from a candidate claiming his campaign is about the voters to a President putting the nation in our hands, as his partners. I muse today just how I may transform my self from a believer that a new day will come to an informed citizen dedicated in loving service to my neighbors, country and world in this new day that has come.

It all comes down to you

By Dr. Owen Scott, III - Nov 3rd, 2008 at 9:55 pm EST

Dear friends,

On the evening of the election we've all dreamt about, anticipated, imagined, and worked toward, I feel impelled to write and recognize all of you, the foot soldiers of the Obama Nation throughout the country and the world. You have rewritten the book on political campaigns by showing what a vast movement composed of small decision makers working together can accomplish when each one is inspired by a believable leader who speaks the words we didn't even know we were waiting to hear. This is the first 21st Century political campaign and the American political process will never be the same. But I'm also reminded of the inspired decision makers who banded together to oppose a British monarchy that believed it was entitled to rule over them and enrich itself from their hard work. The country they invented had a long way to go; and, I'm sure it still does. But the day after tomorrow, we will all sit down in amazement and realize how far we've come. Instead of saying, "Yes, we can!" we'll say to ourselves, "Yes, we did!" Each one of you believed our country, the United States of America, one more time could build on the long struggles of the past, could overcome the hijacking of democracy that has taken place over the past 8 years, and could rise to greater heights than ever before. And, then you went out and did something about it. I'm proud of our positive, grassroots, bottom-up, hope-based campaign and grateful to each of you. So, from the bottom of my heart, I want to say "Thank you!"

Now, let's do what it takes to get the vote out!

All the best,

Owen

Election Day Playlist?

By R from Rockwall, TX - Oct 17th, 2008 at 7:08 pm EDT

Also listed in: 4 groups

Okay, while listening to music lately, I've come to a couple conclusions. First, I need a playlist for Election Day. Second, I need your help in building it. While listening to Dr. Horrible, there's part of a song that I think is relevant but the rest of the song (while I really like it) goes too negative. Here are the lyrics that cause me to think of McCain's followers:

Why can’t they see what I see?
Why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize
your disguise is slipping, I think you’re slipping.

Otherwise, here's the playlist I have right now. It's pretty weak. Help me grow it?

This is the Day, The The ("This is the day, your life will surely change.")
If I Can't Have You, Yvonne Elliman

INVITATION TO ALL MORMONS TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE

INVITATION TO ALL MORMONS TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE

LDS Church encourages member involvement in political process

By Carrie A. Moore
Deseret News

Published: Monday, Sept. 22, 2008 12:28 a.m. MDT

While the LDS Church has long affirmed its political neutrality regarding political parties, platforms and candidates, it is reminding its members of their duty to vote and of the church's right to speak out on political and social issues.

In a letter sent to priesthood leaders dated Sept. 11 to be read from the pulpit in LDS congregations nationwide on Sunday, the church's First Presidency titled its message "Political participation, voting and the political neutrality of the Church."

Church leaders each year read a statement of political neutrality from the pulpit and encourage members to get involved in the political process, but this year's letter differed from previous years in the urgency with which it encourages individual political participation.

"As citizens, we have the privilege and duty of electing office holders and influencing public policy. Participation in the political process affects our communities and nation today and in the future," the letter reads.

"Latter-day Saints as citizens are to seek out and then uphold leaders who will act with integrity and are wise, good, and honest. Principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties."

Particularly in Utah, many public and social commentators have for decades equated the LDS Church with the Republican Party, though church officials have made it clear in past statements that they support a two-party system.

"Therefore, in this election year, we urge you to register to vote, to study the issues and candidates carefully and prayerfully, and then to vote for and actively support those you believe will most nearly carry out your ideas of good government," the letter said.

As in the past, the letter affirms the church's "neutrality regarding political parties, platforms, and candidates. The Church also affirms its constitutional right of expression on political and social issues."

In June, the First Presidency sent a letter to church leaders in California — also to be read from the pulpit — asking church members to "do all you can" to uphold traditional marriage. The move came following a ruling earlier this year by the California Supreme Court that overturned a previous referendum outlawing gay marriage.

Voters there will decide in November whether to approve the proposed amendment, and opponents have grown increasingly vocal in their criticism of the church's stance and the political involvement of its members.

First Presidency Issues Letter on Political Participation

SALT LAKE CITY | 22 September 2008 | The following letter was issued by the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on September 11, 2008, to be read to Church congregations throughout the United States:

Political Participation, Voting, and the Political Neutrality of the Church

As citizens we have the privilege and duty of electing office holders and influencing public policy. Participation in the political process affects our communities and nation today and in the future.

Latter-day Saints as citizens are to seek out and then uphold leaders who will act with integrity and are wise, good, and honest. Principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties.

Therefore, in this election year, we urge you to register to vote, to study the issues and candidates carefully and prayerfully, and then to vote for and actively support those you believe will most nearly carry out your ideas of good government.The Church affirms its neutrality regarding political parties, platforms, and candidates. The Church also affirms its constitutional right of expression on political and social issues.

Sincerely yours,

    Thomas S. Monson

Do NOT Wear Politcal Clothing to the Polls!

By Mister Anderson - Sep 24th, 2008 at 2:43 am EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

This was just brought to my attention yesterday, but in many counties throughout the United States, it is ILLEGAL to wear political clothing and other items such as buttons to polling places when you go to vote because it’s considered “PASSIVE ELECTIONEERING.” As most people know, you’re not allowed to campaign within so many yards of a polling place during Election Day as they don’t want anyone to feel pressured to vote one way or the other while at the poll. Wearing political clothing and the like is considered a form of campaigning in many places whether you agree or not. Read More »

My Family

By James from Millwood, NY - Sep 16th, 2008 at 11:56 pm EDT

I am proud to say i got all 5 members of my family, my parents and three sisters to vote for Obama in november. Previously my sister has only voted once and that was in the 04 election to help support kerry. No one in my family desired to vote this year so I talked them all into voting for Obama, even though we live in NY where Obama is already pretty much guaranteed to win this state. And one of my sister told me that she talked a bunch of her friends into voting for the first time so they are going to be registering soon and supporting Obama.

A day in the life: Time well spent, a wonderful gift received

By Barbara C. Benedict - Sep 11th, 2008 at 1:51 am EDT

Also listed in: 5 groups

I'm still up. Working very hard and loving it, though my body and eyes aren't quite so enthusiastic. Building community and relationships takes real quality time. I spoke about an hour -- maybe more, with a fantastic woman tonight. That's not good in accomplishing immediate tasks, in the short run but in the long run it's wonderful, perfect and will achieve our goals: Elect Barack and hand him an empowered community that's ready to help him change the world! I do also have 100 calls to make in the next 24 hours! : } but I don't regret a minute of my time speaking with this interesting woman! She has tremendous talent to share with the campaign and she will help empower our local team exponentially! I can't wait to learn more from her. Wish me luck on the 100 more calls!. They will get done, but always, quality over quantity! People are not widgets! The critical bottom line, the dream Barack is talking about and trying to share with America is happening! : ) We are building community! In the last five full time days I have met so many amazing people! Ok, I have to go back to the women I met tonight on the phone again : ) She's a former writing teacher. During our fantastic conversation, she told me I ought to write a memoir. Her gift to me was something I never understood until tonight. When I told her I've always wanted to but I've been waiting until I could close it with a "happy ending," very hard to do when you've had --and continue to navigate a life like mine... But she said, we don't have happy endings in life, people we love die, and bad things happen, but it's about what you can share that you learned. Wow! Or as she would say "Damn!" This woman just changed my life! And all this from a conversation when I hadn't yet mentioned I liked to write and people had been encouraging me to do this for years! She said she also does a lot of work with a local university, organizing students. She is going to be a brilliant addition to the new community we are creating and a huge asset to the Obama For America Campaign team! Time well spent! And a wonderful gift received. Today was a really good day : )

After my second successful home fundraiser, I am taking my chances to receive a paid trip to Denver. I hope my NWGA4Obama'08.com gage is working since we raised $433. Planning for my third fundraiser is already posted and online contributions are already registering. I finished inviting local Nov candidates to our event. I even Invited Barack Obama to attend this one via his gmail address. I prepared words of encouragement to other web supporters today as well. Further, I have just completed signing in new friends to my NWGA4OBAMA.com site & composing my registration list for KA4OBAMA.COM. The new voter’s information will be in tomorrow's mail. KA4OBAMA.COM goal of 10,000 new register voters in Georgia seems obtainable. All in a day, my work to promote Obama for President will begin again tomorrow.

Experience Misnomer

By Jacques Casimir - Feb 17th, 2008 at 6:31 pm EST

Also listed in: 7 groups

Look we all get caught up in this experience debate and its been a great talking point for about a year but i think it needs to be looked at a little different.

If experience were everything then Joe Biden and Chris Dodd would be our candidates at this point. I don't knock Senator Clintons experience yet i think that the extra years of service are not an invaluable assest or tool.

I view experience as a bar that each candidate much reach to be an effective and competent president. From there on out experience plays little role and its judgement temperament, wisdom and consensus building that dictates the success of the president.

So I see all candidates having reached this minimum level of effectiveness in experience and the only reason we hear so much about it and so much rhetoric is because it is one of the few effective talking points against Barack Obama
