days of naze

I recommend listening to my custom Launchcast station whilst perusing the site. Think of it as my soundtrack. The result of 2000+ ratings you are likely to hear Steve Martin, Warren Zevon, Chris Rock, The Violent Femmes, Maria McKee, Jason & The Scorchers, The Cure, Sinead O'Connor, The Monkees, Nick Drake.

It's such an amazing feeling. To have the leader of your country be your age, proud, bright, well-spoken, and a good father.

It's been a long time, America.

This is what strength looks like.

E Pluribus Unum

Callooh! Callay!
Victory November 2008 is sweet and I will taste it for a time.

It is the fruition of my political activation in 2004 by Moveon.org and Howard Dean ("I'm from the Democratic wing of the Democratic party!"), the weekends I pounded the pavement for Kerry in north Portland and the weekends I knocked on doors in 2006 for Oregon House Representative candidate Rob Brading in an attempt to dethrone the witch-like House Speaker at the time. The fruition of small donations I make through Oregon Education Association PAC, to Moveon.org, and to candidates like Jeff Merkley who edged out our Bush-obedient incumbent Senator.

It's time to take up the hard work that W's regime shirked in their relentless bilking of our nation's treasury and honor:
-Energy independence
-Universal healthcare
-Restoring Constitutional rights
-Restoring the infrastructure of our country

You can bet that the same party that trashed this country will resist every step of the way.

That's our next fight.

Vote Republican: You'll get what you deserve.

To take back our country:

1) Be informed

2) Take action
Whether it's an e-mail, a petition, a phone call, a donation, holding a sign, going door-to-door, or making a donation -- do something. That's how we won in 2006.

3) Talk liberal, own liberal. Refuse the right wing frame.

4) Remember why we fight

The Liberal Legacy
Consider a short and incomplete list of 20th-century liberal triumphs, all vehemently opposed by conservatives at the time...

W's record of failure and weakness.
