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. I was fortunate enough to defeat a Republican incumbent for County Commissioner in the second most Republican county in the state of Michigan. 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. Just click on the link below, and make a secure, online contribution using PayPal...

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

Missaukee County Commissioner-elect

Voter Registration & Absentee Ballot Information for All 50 States

Written by: Paul Roden on Sep 5, 2008 4:15 PM EDT

Linked to groups: Obama for Pennsylvania, Montco DFA, Upper Bucks for Democracy, DFA Night School, PA for Democracy, Philly for Change, Northeast Philadelphia for Democracy, Lower Bucks for Democracy

Linked to campaigns: Obama for America

Dear Fellow DFA Members:

If this has already been shared or made available, I appologize, but it is too important to not share it again.

For one central place to find out procedures, forms, and deadlines for voter registration and absentee voting for all 50 states, go to http://www.declareyourself.com It takes you to the various state department of state voting/election offices. The Department of the Census has a nifty county finder, which you will need to send your forms to the right county voter/election/clerk location. The URl is http://quickfacts.census.gov/cgi-bin/qfd/lookup . Just type in your Zip Code and viola, your county pops up.

New voters will most likely vote the way we want them, according to studies at Yale. We have 30 days to register new voters in most states, especially battleground states. If we register 6,000 voters a day and bring them to the polls in the key battlground states, we can win for Obama.

Don't forget the Neighborhood Volunteer Program of Democrats.org, where individuals can canvass their own neighborhood precinct or ward from the PC and phone.

All these little steps will help us win.

Best regards,

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

Written by: JOANNE O'Neill on Aug 25, 2008 11:38 PM EDT

Please Forward Widely and Sorry for any Duplicates

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.

Just a note to remind you to check out the attachments.The one is designed to print on Avery labels to put on letters or postcards to Judiciary Members home offices, and the rest is designed to be a 2 sided flyer , you can use either the black and white or the color front ,whatever your pocket can afford. The back side has a toll free number and the fax numbers for each of the members.

Please take sometime this week to make calls. And if you have a program set up to send faxes directly from your computer, set it tomorrow night, and let it send faxes all night to the Committee.

Also looking for some volunteers to do some handing out flyers on Thursday morning at the Speedline..... lets see the hands!!!

Yours in Peace and Solidarity

Barbara McIlvaine Smith • State Representative, District 156

Dear Fellow DFA Members,

This has been an exciting 18 months in Pennsylvania. Our state just participated in a very exciting Primary election, calling attention to the needs of our Commonwealth and our Country. In December 2006, my highly contested race for State Representative decided control of the state legislature. I am proud to report many accomplishments in my freshman year in Harrisburg. I have co-sponsored legislation dealing with healthcare, education and energy. These are the issues I campaigned on in 2006, and I have kept my promise to address them in the legislature.

On June 13 PDA / DFA Progressive Democracy South Jersey joined together with other activist groups from the area in presenting a "Reframing the Iraq War" Townhall Forum. I wish to Thank our members, Cheryl Biren -Wright and Sue O'Connell for all the work they did in making this a successful event. Good Job Gals !!!

Also thank you to all those who worked on & participated in the event . It was a night to remember !!!!!!!!!!

For those who are unaware, this was the fulfillment of a promise Rob Andrews made to a group of us back in April of 2007 to participate in a Townhall Forum.

The coalition of the activist groups invited all candidates from District 1 and District 3; Democrat, Republican and Green to take part in the Forum. ( Please keep in mind when listening to this , Rob Andrews was personally recruited by Bush to help write the Iraq War Resolution.)

Regretfully one of the major speakers had personal problems come up the morning of the event, but how fortunate for us Marine Sergeant, Adam Kokesh of IVAW, was able to fill in and what a speech he gave ......Please listen to his words.
