In the past 8 (almost) years, we have had quite a bad taste of a”Republican Rule,” and I use the term “Rule” strictly. I think you can all understand where I am coming from if you have seen anything in the
news over the past years. Bush and his administration is nothing but corruption.
That being said…

Over the weekend, I took part in the first Nebraska Democratic Caucus in over 40 years. I have to say, despite a lack of funding from the Nebraska Democratic Party and the ill-preparedness of the caucus sites, it was a very unique experience.
Early estimates put the turn out at my site as only 17 […]

OK, he didn’t get the biggest percentage of delegates from the caucuses, but he did win by beating Hillary. He also showed that people want change and that you can get a lot of votes without having to spend zillions of dollars.
Congratulations Mr. Edwards!
Here is his campaign website.

Corporations can be very good for a country because they employ people, create things, sell things, and provide services. But there can be problems when corporations have too much influence over government and when they refuse to negotiate with unions or use union workers. John Edwards is the democratic candidate who is talking the most […]

It […]

The Democratic Leadership in Congress has recently decided to split the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) bill, which originally protected Americans from discrimination workplace discrimination due to sexuality or gender identity. Essentially, this bill would have meant that people can’t be denied employment, fired, or denied career advancement because they’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.
However, the […]

By Mary Beth Sheridan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Republican lawmakers yesterday blocked the Senate from taking up the D.C. vote bill, a potentially fatal setback for the District’s most promising effort in years to get a full member of Congress.

As I skim through various CNN articles about Karl Rove, they all seem to be about how this leader in countless scandals is gone for good. But is the brain behind many schemes going or is this a public cover-up for something going on deeper in the White House?
