Please sign my petition by the end of the week before the United States government goes down this dark path.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
veto the defense appropriations bill that allows the military to detain US citizens indefinitely.

The President has promised to veto the Defense Appropriations bill that would allow our military to pick up a US citizen on US soil and hold that person indefinitely without trial or right to counsel. This is the most important promise he has made. He should not negotiate with himself to talk himself out of keeping his promise.

If he keeps his promise I will vote for him in 2012. If he fails, I will not vote for him. As simple as that.

They don’t make it easy to sign a petition.  Perhaps these instructions still work, How To Sign a whitehouse.gov Petition.

Elizabeth Warren said:

I watched tonight’s 60 minutes. Another example why it’s past time we start demanding accountability for those who broke the economy.

She was referring to the 60 Minutes story, Prosecuting Wall Street – CBS News.

Do you know any people who think we shouldn’t tax the wealthy job creators and their great wealth because they earned their money through hard work?  Could you do me a favor?  Could you walk over to them, tap them on the head, and see if anybody is home?

If there is any sign of life there, could you drag them over to watch the CBS 60 Minutes video?  I’d love to hear about their reaction.

Are there any Obama supporters who still feel that he is doing everything that he can?  Maybe you can check for signs of life there, too.

I am frequently asked this sort of question.  It is hard to explain to people how much she gets it.

At an Elizabeth Warren campaign house party, I mentioned a video that I have previously posted.  I just reviewed that video, before sending the link to the person to whom I promised it.

The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class.

After my review and after sending off the link,  I thought of sending this also to some key people in the Elizabeth Warren campaign.  Here is the explanation I sent along with the link:

This post shows the single most effective Elizabeth Warren video that I am aware of. I am totally surprised that this video is not featured on all of Warren’s web sites.

After watching this video again, I can honestly say to any middle-class person who asks me, “Does Elizabeth Warren get it?”, “Not only does she get it, she can explain things about your predicament that you don’t even get. Watching this video will open your eyes to things that are going on in your life that you felt but couldn’t fully explain before.”

How many politicians come by in a lifetime for which you can say that?
