Written by: Richard Renner on Nov 26, 2008 7:30 PM EST

To all my friends at Democracy for America,

May your Thanksgiving be filled with Love, Faith and Laughter.

Best wishes,

Richard Renner

Missaukee County Commissioner-elect

Membership Chair, Missaukee County Democratic Party

“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”

- Albert Einstein

CHALLENGE: ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT to raise $380! Help the only Democratic County Commissioner in Missaukee County (Michigan).

On Tuesday, November 4th, history was made in Missaukee County.

However, as with many campaigns, I have debt to pay off, and several final expenses to pay. I need to raise $380 in 3 days. Can I count on you? Making a contribution is easier than ever.

OFFICIALLY ENDORSED BY MID-MICHIGAN DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA (MMDfA)!
“Richard REALLY knows his stuff and has specific plans for improving his county.”

As I was quoted in our local daily, the Cadillac News, following my victory...

"The voters...have made a determination that the status quo is no longer acceptable, that we expect more accountability, greater openness, and transparency in county government."

Please, help me pay off my debt by raising $380 in 3 days. Just click on the link below, and make a secure, online contribution using PayPal...

Victory '10,

Richard Renner

Grassroots change starts at the bottom. We need ot be informed voters and make sure the candidates we're voting into local office (the offices that affect us most directly) share the progressive values we champion.

When you get to the voting booth on November 4, will you know which State Representatives, School Board Members, State Auditors, Dog-catchers shere your values. Will you even know their names?

Growvotes.org is trying to close this gap in voter ignorance through the same social networking tactics that have helped communities like DFA. Come check us out, find out who's running in your local elections and help us build a community based around the local politics that get things done close to home. Write an inactive candidate and ask them to share their views with the community. Create a ballot for election day so you know beforehand who'll you'll vote for.

We're focusing our beta efforts on New Jersey and Maryland and are looking for local associates who can help us add candidates that are not lsited yet. Espcially those at the city and county level. For more information contact us:

URGENT Appeal for Your Help to Publish Ads for Impeachment in the Wash. Post !!!

Dear Friend of Justice,

This comes to you on behalf of a broad national coalition of people and impeach groups.

We need your help!!!!

We aim to publish 5 large ads in the Washington Post on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday — September 8, 10, 11, 12 — and a half-page ad on Sunday, September 14th.

Attached below are 2 large ads for weekday publication, and one half-page ad for Sunday publication.

This is part of a national campaign we're calling "COUNTDOWN TO IMPEACHMENT!"

Nobody needs to tell you the magnitude of the threat Bush-Cheney present.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that George W. Bush is a lame duck. He is going full speed ahead with his agenda, unhampered by anything so trivial as worrying about reelection. The following is a list of what Bush has done in the past couple of weeks!

Gutted environmental protection by taking EPA scientists out of the loop.

Pushed for offshore oil drilling

Made it easier for the FBI to investigate without a warrant.

Proposed making oral contraceptives harder to obtain. (& classifying them as abortion!)

Gotten obviously drunk at the China Olympics, embarrassing the US and insulting the Chinese.

Started a proxy war with Russia via the US client nation of Georgia

Signed an agreement to place missile defense in Poland, evoking a Russian threat against Poland.

Canceled joint military exercises with Russia, essentially restarting the Cold War with the second nuclear superpower.

Sent a huge armada to blockade Iran, which could start WW III.

Please Read This Article and know, now is not the time to quit !!!! http://impeachforpeace.org/impeach_bush_blog/?p=5632

We believe our ads will help bring enough pressure to move the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment proceeding in earnest — before they attack Iran — and with the help of thousands of citizens phoning the committee members, we can get movement by September 26th.

The weekday ads will measure 12" wide x 18" high, and the Sunday ad will measure 12" wide x 10.5" high.

The stakes are steep for everyone on earth.

We ask you for two actions. The first is to donate as much as you can to help our ads publish.

The second is to get your help in spreading the word to help us get the money, both to your circle of friends and to every web site you can. If you can hook us up with any media, we'll get someone nearby to contact them.

If you operate a web site or an organization we ask you to endorse our effort and to tell everyone on your email list about our campaign. If you can't endorse because of a policy against that level of action, then at least forward this to your members so they can help us.

Following is our donation graphic. You can copy and paste it into an email, or you can just forward this along to others:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We can protect the future from psychotic despots and two-bit dictators.

We can uphold our Constitution, restore justice and reclaim our democracy.

For the sake of our commonwealth we must hold Bush-Cheney to account and impeach, remove them from power and prosecute them.

The agony's gone on long enough, and you can help to put an end to it.

Please give whatever you can afford, and let's put the nightmare to an end and take back our country.

Let us hear from you today.
