Happy Thanksgiving from Missaukee County (Michigan) :)

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...

Oil Crisis: Oil Industry's method of raising prices and cutting their own taxes

Written by: James Dunn on Jul 8, 2008 11:15 AM EDT

Regarding opening environmentally protected areas for mining and pumping oil:

There is over 200 years of oil in the 48 contiguous States that are capped up by oil companies to monopolize world energy. There is no need to violate our environmentally protected areas, just to allow oil companies to further monopolize their strangle hold over our lives.

They are creating a media frenzy just to increase the price of oil; very successfully I might add. However, there is no immediate threat for an oil shortage !!! The oil companies have ONLY created the perception that there is a shortage !!!!

I personally believe that ALL mineral rights belong to the American People, NOT souless corporations!!!

I applaud Venezuela for nationalizing the oil assets in their country!!!!

We should be doing the same thing here in the United States !!!!

Greenpeace Action in DuPage County, IL

Written by: Eric Quamme on Sep 10, 2007 8:19 PM EDT

Linked to groups: Illinois Sixth Progressive Dems

I am working on a grassroots environmental campaign in DuPage County. The fundamental purpose is to raise awareness to the importance of global warming, and its' local impacts on northern Illinois. It is called Project Hot Seat, and it is a national campaign that will focus solely on U.S. representatives. The idea is simple. It is to build and organize a grassroots organization in Illinois, congressional district 6.

This fall, our representatives will have the opportunity to support some critical legislation pertaining to global warming with reasonable solutions to stop it. This is where Project Hot Seat comes into play. It is time for the voters in district 6 to let Representative Peter Roskam know that global warming and its' local impacts are important issues, and that it is time for Rep. Roskam to be a leader on environmental issues in the House. We are reaching out to the communities in DuPage County, and building a volunteer-based organization that will remind Rep. Roskam what issues are important to his constituents.

Take care,

Wednesday Oct 25th! DFA call with Durbin, Schakowsky & Duckworth

Written by: Charles Chamberlain on Oct 23, 2006 1:40 PM EDT

Linked to groups: Illinois Sixth Progressive Dems

We are just days away from an historic election. And what happens in Illinois could make all the difference. I want to bring you the latest on the races -- and we've lined up three of the best to share the news: Senator Richard Durbin, Representative Jan Schakowsky and Democratic nominee for the 6th Congressional District Tammy Duckworth.

Join us all on a special Democracy for America conference call on Wednesday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m. Central:

www.dfalink.com/event.php?id=148...

In the next two weeks the Republicans are going to throw everything -- including the kitchen sink -- at our candidates. But we've never been more prepared for their negative campaigning. And we've never been more ready to lead America in a new, more hopeful direction.

That we're in a position to recapture the United States House of Representatives and Senate is in no small part because of Illinois activists like you. Your passion, your time, your money have put Democrats in a position to win. But the last two weeks are absolutely critical. Senator Durbin and Congresswoman Schakowsky will tell us how to be strategic and effective in the final days. Join the call and find out how:

www.dfalink.com/event.php?id=148...

Thanks for everything you do,

Jim Dean
Chair

P.S. One of the most exciting opportunities we have in Illinois is the opportunity to claim Republican Henry Hyde's seat for Democrat Tammy Duckworth. She's cut a new on-line announcement with Senator Barack Obama. We'll be talking about this ad and more on Wednesday. Check it out the new ad here:
