Here is the letter featured in the article Angry House Dems Request Pre-Speech Meeting With Obama.

I have finally read the post Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult.

It should have been evident to clear-eyed observers that the Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe. This trend has several implications, none of them pleasant.

I had seen this article on the truthout.org website for the past 3 days.  I had a little trouble getting into it the first time I started reading it.  When I read about it in the article A Must Read…It’s a cliche…but it’s true…, I decided to give it another try.

It’s long, but it really does lay it all out there.

The article Elizabeth Warren: America’s future depends on jobs on Raw Story has extracted some quotes from the video below.

Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren suggested Monday that she was planning to run for the U.S. Senate during a speech at a breakfast held by the Greater Boston Labor Council.

“America’s future depends on jobs… but we can’t just made jobs out of thin air,” she said. “We need to build the kind of future that creates jobs, and that keeps creating them generation after generation. We need a future of growth and opportunity.”

With a little more practice on the campaign trail, I am sure Elizabeth Warren will polish her delivery style. However, I think she starts with a good set of fundamentals.

I am done predicting how people will do in office. All we can do is elect the people who appear to have all the possibilities and then hope for the best.

I do like her phrase “invest in the future” much better than Obama’s lame “win the future.”
