Obama rebuts claims he’s lying about attack on US Consulate in Libya | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

Quoted from article, "But The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Obama's presidential daily brief from the CIA tied the assault to a spontaneous protest linked to the video—despite intelligence contradicting that scenario.

Asked whether he knew Americans in Libya had asked for more security, Obama replied: "I was not personally aware of any request. Obviously we have an infrastructure that's set up to manage requests like that," in reference to the State Department."

Where are Mitt's Massachusetts Fan Clubs?

QUESTION: If Mitt Romney was as great as he says he was in Massachusetts, why isn't Facebook *viral* with citizens from that state singing his praises and telling the world what fabulous acts and miracles he did for them?

Big Oil and the US Chamber of Commerce Fight to Keep Foreign Bribery Flourishing

Perfect example of why Citizens United MUST be overturned!

Quoted from TruthOut.org, "...violated corporate "First Amendment" rights."
Something about that just sound WRONG!  Corporations are not living, breathing, independently thinking 'humans'...?...


"For supporters, it is difficult to see what is so costly about inserting a few paragraphs into an annual SEC filing. “We are greatly disappointed that the oil industry is trying to use the courts to bully the SEC and push for secrecy in their payments to governments,” said Ian Gary of Oxfam. “We call on companies, such as BP, Exxon, Chevron and Shell, who are hiding behind industry associations to do their dirty work while espousing transparency rhetoric, to disassociate themselves from the lawsuit.”"

99 Judicial Vacancies | ACS

The Republican effort to avoid filling judicial vacancies in the hopes of gaining more political power in November continues unabated, but not without justifiably sharp criticism.
Senate Republicans’ agenda of obstructing everything Obama may be simple and nakedly political, but obstruction of judicial nominations is also disastrous for the nation’s court system. The Senate left town with more than 75 vacancies on the federal bench, many of them deemed emergency vacancies by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts of the federal bench.

Sylvia,

Thousands have signed up to ask local candidates to support the Declaration for Democracy.*

Here’s another really effective way to make sure federal candidates respond to our call for democracy reforms:

Bird-dogging.

Bird-dogging may sound like a silly word, but it’s the long-standing tactic to get a candidate on record on an issue. If the candidates have not responded to requests that they sign the Declaration, take the show on the road.

Show up with friends at public events, town halls, fundraisers and handshake lines. Space yourselves out.

Here are some phrases you could use depending on the candidate. “Support getting money out of politics!” “Do you support voting rights?” “Thank you for supporting an amendment!” Hand the candidate or a staffer a copy of the Declaration and ask them to take a stand for democracy.

Bring a camera and take pictures or shoot a video. If you can’t get in, bring signs, chant, do street theater and notify the media. Send us an email to order signs, get advice or let us know how it went. Check out the recording from our How to Bird-dog call held last week for more tips.

Together we can make sure that the challenges facing our democracy are discussed by the candidates.

Thank you,
