Sorry Gang – I’m Just Not There Yet

I just can’t do it – not yet. I respect Hillary more than words can say and I know she did what she had to do today. I was there to hear her speak and found myself cheering wildly every time she paused to catch her breath, until she got to the part where she [...]

Graduation Day and Hillary

Hillary’s going to be in DC speaking to her supporters on Saturday, and we’ll know more about what she plans to do going forward then. I thought a quick letter to her was in order, on the off chance she’s up late and reading the blogs tonight…
I’ve written about my son a few times [...]

Petition Drive at VoteBoth.com

Some of you may think I’m nuts in sharing this link, but like many of you, I was beyond stunned by the news today. Even though we don’t have the full picture yet, there are new sites and efforts springing up all over the net. One involves a petition drive regarding a joint ticket. I [...]

Update:Texas Caucus Fraud

EBW and MBW of the highly respected Wampum blog have got their hands on the incident report summary referred to in Pacific John’s widely-read Texas caucus report.
As one of the only remaining highly respected neutral voices in the liberal netroots, EBW says,
“[…] I have the original [incident report summary], and the affidavits in my possession, [...]

Thank You Puerto Rico!

I love writing titles like this one. Seems over the past few months I’ve been writing this more often than not regarding one fabulous win or another of Hillary’s. And that’s all thanks to our amazing candidate and her cracker-jack team of staff and volunteers who hit the ground hard in each state and don’t [...]

Thou Shalt Not Steal

Well as you might have guessed, I was at the protest in DC today as the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) met to decide what to do with the votes my family all cast back in Michigan, and those in Florida.
We turned up to make our voices heard in the hopes that the RBC [...]

Peaceful Protest = Creating Chaos?

Ok I think we’ve finally entered silly season here folks. For a guy who got his big start by making a speech at an anti-war rally a few years back (a speech he seems to have built his entire campaign around), this statement by his campaign about this Saturday’s protest at the DNC meeting in [...]

Heart of a Champion

I worked all day and then went in to make phone calls as part of a Women For Hillary phone bank this evening. I just got home and I’m zonked, and since I’ve been thinking of this old diary of mine from Feb. over the past few days, I thought this was a good time [...]

So - Who’ll Be Next?

It’s a simple question for you - the members of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, who’ll be deciding on the future of our party on Saturday.
Folks are talking about the tough decision you’ll have to make in DC on Saturday.
They say you might seat half the delegates from Florida and Michigan, thereby cutting the [...]

A Simple and Fair Solution For FL & MI

Nothing anyone says to me will convince me that the fight to seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan (my home state) is nothing less than a fight for the voting rights of the 2.3 million people who turned out for their state primaries in January.  The voters did not set the dates - and [...]

A Quick Hello

I know it’s late but I thought I’d take a moment to thank Pamela Leavey for her kind invitation to include my ramblings here on this wonderful site.  I’ve been a fan for ages and am honored that she thought to invite me to post here.  So rather than jump right into things I wanted [...]
