I had hopes but never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd have this much success (a late Demo winner isn't on this chart--I've misplaced the name, sorry!) This is a big win for clean government and democracy!

We did it! We kept big business from buying the election!

Message to Ohio and Florida voters in line
A message to the Americans standing in line to vote in Ohio and Florida: Don't give up! Don't let the Republicans win! Here on the west coast, our hearts and minds are with you. I know you're in a bad spot, but our president needs you.
Al Sharpton, courtesy of MSNBC, on the GOP's war against women, closing statement: "And that's why the election is not about Obama. It's about your momma!"
It's no accident that the message from Glinda is right
below the message from Rachel. WE HAVE THE POWER. USE IT. WHAT ARE YOU SAVING
IT FOR? VOTE!
The Republicans are at it again. Know why? Because it always works for them! If we'd stepped on their $#!@?! the first time they did it, maybe we wouldn't be where we are tonight. I am sickened over their dirty tricks and lack of patriotism.
Ms. Silent Nomore, where are you when we need you?
The Idaho Baker and The Real Deal- Barack Obama for President
The last time Obama ran for president I wrote a post that
was picked up by a newspaper on the other side of the country. In it I stated
that other candidates were Tater Tots and what this country needed was an Idaho
baking potato. It was true then and it is even more true now. President Obama
has earned another term and we’ll be foolish if we don’t give it to him. Romney
is a light-weight. A Tater Tot in the truest sense of the word. From the time President
Obama took office he has waded through the mess left by the earlier president.
At the top of the list are two wars we couldn’t pay for but that’s not even the
true issue: they were wars that should have never been fought. The list of
other issues that need addressing is too long to go into: our economic, health care, energy, and
infrastructure problems, etc. etc. etc. We need a true statesman like President
Obama to keep us going forward. Romney is just another Tater Tot politician who
won’t be able to produce the results we need. Vote, ya’ll. God Bless America
and God bless our president, Barack Obama. Janelle Meraz Hooper
Ms. Silent Nomore pays us another visit:
Tonight I have watched biographies of
President Obama, both on CNN and MSNBC--2 places that I go to for mostly the
facts. Both told essentially the same basic story...nothing new--I was there. I
lived it. But in the space of first 90 minutes and then 60 minutes, I was
reminded just WHO this man is. What he has accomplished for us. How he made the
decisions that literally brought our country back from an economic collapse
(his economic advisors had told him that the country had just a few days before
our economy collapsed.)
How, in the face of incredible political
opposition (the Republican leaders of our country, on Inaugeration Eve, plotted
to oppose him at every turn), he managed to do the things he did.
How he managed to change the
image of our country from a horribly negative one to the very positive one we
have today. He managed to create hope, both here and in the world.
And he still managed to be an
incredible husband and father.
We have just seen, in the face of
Hurricane Sandy, what he has done to coordinate the supplies of this nation for
those victims.
For 4 years, he has had our fronts and
backs. He is the REAL DEAL.
May God keep him safe and bless this
country with 4 more years as President of our country.
Cordially as always,
Ms. Silent Nomore

Simpson animator works his magic on Obama speech
If you're on the fence about the election this is worth your time.

Have you registered to vote?
In many parts of our country people have already voted. I read about a fellow writer who was going to put his I Voted! sticker on his door so that maybe the doorbellers would leave im alone. I put mine on my phone but it didn't work. I hope you'll be sure to get your vote in as early as possible in case of bad weather. Or a flat tire. Or a talkative relative stops by. You never know what can happen at the last minute.
If it seems like I'm nagging it's just because this vote is so important. Not only is it important to re-elect Obama, it's important for another reason: We must not let big business get away with buying this election! If we do, it'll set a dangerous precedent for the future. Ronald Reagan said once that, if we're not cautious, we could lose this country in a decade. We must not be smug and careless about what we have here.
I'm going to add the latest message from Ms. Silent Nomore before I post:
For those of you who haven't decided who you are
voting for...a summary.
Some very important things to consider:
1...On the night of the Inaugeration, there was
a very important meeting with many primary "players" of the
Republican Party. At this meeting, the single most important goal for the next
4 years was decided on---to stop Obama from having a second term. The way to do
this would be...to NEVER agree on anything that was proposed by either the
Senate or the House that would give Obama any credit for a second term.
This resulted in over 40--60 filibusters in the
Senate (this level of obstruction was the most in our history); a similar
effort in the House by the Republican minority was stopped with the majority
control of the House for the first 2 years. But, for anything to pass and
become a law, BOTH parts of Congress had to compromise--that DID NOT HAPPEN. WHEN
WE WERE IN THE DEEPEST PART OF OUR RECESSION, THESE TACTICS WERE STILL
EMPLOYED!! In my opinion, when a political party decides to put a political
agenda ahead of the welfare of this country---this is called...treason. Think
about it.
2...The candidate for President of the
Republican Party, during the primaries, did all he could think of, to earn the
ire (and some stronger words) of all the other candidates because of the
tactics he used to win primaries.
3...Now, that same candidate, for these many
months has employed ...lying and distortion at almost every stump speech;
changing his policies so often that his true policies are yet to be determined;
at the debates...becoming so ambiguous with regard to his policies, that NO
ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHERE/WHAT HE STOOD FOR.
4...Yet, he does have a party platform...the
Republican Party Platform...the traditional one that has not changed from the
Bush years...these ideas were the same ones that caused this mess. And he
intends to repeat them. Only they are more radical now.
5...The choice is very clear...Romney or
President Obama--the President whose integrity and moral courage has kept us
going as a country and changed the world's opinion of us for the better.
Most cordially,
Ms. Silent Nomore
Hear, hear! Thanks, Ms. Nomore! (I've had some questions about this contributor. Some think it is just me. It is not.)

Another visit from Ms. Silent Nomore!
We're burning daylight here--have you voted yet? Please do!

THAT was
Donald Trump's October Surprise? That's all he's got? For one, I don't want to
see the Harvard transcripts of President Obama's grades. Good grief, the man was president of the Harvard Law Review. I'm sure he's smart
enough! What is really going on here is that Trump is willing to pay over 5
million dollars for media attention. The man is embarrassing!
October 23, 2012
Oh, boy. Donald Trump is promising a big October Surprise
about Obama tomorrow. He's a big birther. Wonder where he'll say Obama is from
this time? No matter. We all know that Trump is from Genosha (I threw that in
for all you Marvel Comic fans.).
Another visit from Ms. Silent Nomore. I'm not sure but she appears to be from Washington State:
For all voters that have initiatives on the ballot
to approve a 2/3 vote by state legislatures to raise taxes...THIS IS REAL
SCARY! A closer look at these iniatives reveals that the 2/3 majority will
be used only to stop loopholes and capital gains taxes from being closed
and taxed. IT DOES NOT PREVENT FEES FROM BRING CHARGED! What does this
mean?! Only people who benefit from capital gains income and loopholes....the
top 1% will benefit from this 2/3 majority to limit taxes. The rest of us can
have fees leveled on us. In other words...these last years of recession, when
we needed our legislature to spend more money by helping the most needy of us,
they could not close loopholes and tap tax loopholes that would have helped.
They could only raise fees on the rest of us!!
THESE INIATIVES ONLY BENEFIT
THE TOP 1% OF US! AND HURT THE REST OF US! BEWARE!

Old Joe’s Pink Cadillac
Janelle Meraz Hooper
Janelle Meraz Hooper
Synopsis...
Before Old Joe’s best friend left for Vietnam he dropped his pink 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville off at Joe’s for safekeeping. The old car was in bad shape and when his friend didn’t come back Joe made it his mission to restore her.
Most nights, after work, Old Joe could be found with his head stuck under the hood of the collectible car, murmuring loving, encouraging sounds to the eye-catching lady who once ruled the highway. When he finished, she was a beaut. Old Joe didn’t have much, never did. But at least he had Elizabeth…for a while.
Most nights, after work, Old Joe could be found with his head stuck under the hood of the collectible car, murmuring loving, encouraging sounds to the eye-catching lady who once ruled the highway. When he finished, she was a beaut. Old Joe didn’t have much, never did. But at least he had Elizabeth…for a while.
Through the years, the once all-white, intimidating neighborhood filled in with Asians and Hispanics. At dinnertime, the air was filled with wonderful smells of different cultures mixing together in the hot air, and the smells from Joe’s kitchen fit right into the mix.
Ben’s effort to see that Joe was well and had everything he needed was always appreciated by the old guy. Especially on hot nights, Ben would walk across the alley to say hello and make sure the old man had ice for his icebox. Temperatures in the Oklahoma town could be as high as a hundred and eight degrees or more in the daytime during the summer, and the town’s senior citizens were sometimes known to suffer from dehydration.
On those nights, Joe would pull two bottles of beer out of his icebox, and he and Ben would go outside and sit on Elizabeth’s hood to cool off. There, in the dark, they’d listen to the crickets chirp, and the cats hiss at each other on the Victorian’s porch. Sometimes, houses away, they’d hear a couple squabbling until they both decided it was too hot to fight.
Too hot to love.
Too hot to sleep.
Too hot to love.
Too hot to sleep.
Eventually, cats and people would quiet down for the night, and Ben and Joe would be left under a star-filled sky with only the crickets and lightning bugs for company.

Election alert from Ms. Silent Nomore!
I've heard talk that Romney knew he couldn't win the debate--thier strategy was just to stay alive! What I'd like to see is a debate between Romney and Donald Trump. I think they're equally clueless!
Meanwhile, I've had another email from Silent Nomore:
Meanwhile, I've had another email from Silent Nomore:
ELECTION ALERT!! While everyone is
concentrating on the one-liners and the fact that Romney almost became Obama
last night by pretty much agreeing with most of his foreign policy
ideas...there is one thing that few people are talking about.
Romney showed last night, and in
fact, all through this election cycle, that he really isn't interested in
foreign policy!! Reality check!! The area of foreign policy is the one area
that our president has control!!!! We know from recent history when our
president really doesn't care, or doesn't really know as much as he should
about the world---aka.George Bush---this means that a vacumn exists where
people who have their own agendas can rush in and INFLUENCE HIS DECISIONS. THIS
IS HOW WE GOT THE MOST DISASTEROUS FOREIGN POLICY MESS IN A GENERATION---2 WARS
AND THE HATRED OF MOST OF THE WORLD.
And now, of the 24 members of
Romney's foreign policy advisor team, 17 ARE REPEATS OF BUSH'S OLD TEAM!
This is a disaster just waiting to happen. IF
YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET...THINK ABOUT THIS. Unless you liked what we have
just suffered through.
Very Corially,
Ms. Silent Nomore
