No Intention of Watching One Awful Minute

I have no intention of watching one awful minute of the Republican National Convention. I will tune in to Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC but I can't stand the hypocrisy and blatant lies of that party. It is a great idea for all of us to completely boycott their circus and have it pale in comparison to the historic 28 million viewers watching in Barack Obama's Promise to America!

I start my freshman year in high school today and I intent to reach out to the young Democrats there. I'm just so sick of hearing lies come out of that party. And the political ads in Wisconsin from Senator John McCain and the Republican National Committee are just more lies against Senator Barack Obama and Democratic Leaders.

I've said this many times before. I thank Senator McCain for his service to the United States of America but he is not ready to lead America. When I watched Brian Schweitzer and Senator Obama's speeches, I'm proud to be a young Democrat. I wish more teenagers in Wisconsin would wake up and understand the real issues besides their "one week" dating relationships.
Just because school starts today does not mean that I won't be here to post or be involved in Senator Obama's campaign. I will still be very much active. When I'm not here, I'll be volunteering in my local campaign field office. I will be posting live updates on MySpace and Twitter when my schedule allows me to.

One of the reasons that I am involved in politics and government is that I have a feeling that there won't be anyone that will want to step up - fight for the truth and what is right. I don't think we will have no more people like John F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, and or Hillary Clinton. Yes, I may be on the far side of the world but unlike some people and teenagers in this world, I would like to see a better America then what we have today.

In closing, Dennis Kucinich's speech is one of my favorties on the Democratic National Convention. In 2001, the oil companies, the war contractors and the neocon artists seized the economy and added $4 trillion of unproductive spending to the national debt. Wake Up America! Now only if teenagers across Wisconsin would wake up for once!

Jerome Corsi is Desperate

Jerome Corsi uses bogus, deceptive research: Obama Nation contains the same old rehashed lies people have used to attack Senator Barack Obama for years along with factual errors on subjects ranging from the year of the Obamas’ wedding to African citizenship laws.

The media treat Corsi as if he were a serious scholar despite easily disproven deceptions: the media have uncritically accepted claims from Corsi and his publisher that his newest hit book represents real research. He needs to be confronted with his manipulations of reality and questionable sources.

This book is no more credible than any of Corsi’s other crackpot manifestoes: these debunked attacks on Obama come from the same man who wrote books alleging that George Bush is trying to dissolve our borders with Mexico and Canada, that oil is inexhaustible, and that the government caused the Twin Towers to fall on 9/11.

Corsi is so bigoted that even other right-wing hatchet men can’t stand him: the other slime artists pushing Swift Boat smears in 2004 kicked Corsi off their publicity tour because of his history of public religious intolerance and bigotry.

Brett Favre Tosses TD Pass In Debut

Brett Favre threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Dustin Keller to cap his second series in his New York Jets debut against the Washington Redskins on Saturday night.

Favre, acquired from Green Bay last week, took the snap, looked to his left and found the rookie tight end in the end zone to give the Jets a 7-0 lead with 5:25 remaining in the first quarter. He clapped in celebration after the score and high-fived several of his new teammates, including Keller.

Brett Favre Joins Jets After Trade

Brett Favre's summertime soap opera ended on the night of August 6, when the Green Bay Packers traded their iconic quarterback after 16 seasons to the New York Jets, who haven't had a star of No. 4's stature since the days Joe Namath was slinging passes.

Five months after a tearful goodbye to a Hall of Fame career, Favre, who won a Super Bowl title and set all sorts of records in 16 seasons before his acrimonious split with the Packers, is starting over. He's now part of a Jets team which went 4-12 last season and has been reduced to second-stringer status in New York behind the Super Bowl champion Giants.

President Paris Hilton?

FEATURED BLOG FRIDAY
from TheCitizensJournal.com

What the heck is wrong with America? Who in their right mind would even consider Paris "I'll do anything to be a celebrity" Hilton for President? I'll admit, "She's Hot." Presidential, she's not. What's wrong with this idea? It could happen.

In short, Paris has a small chance to be President if the current trends hold up. She has plenty of money. She is primed for a sex scandal. She's also a woman who can overcome the worst scandal and stay "Hot." Paris is Hillary Clinton without the baggage of Bill. If we start taking Paris seriously in my opinion it's clearly a sign of the times. The Apocolypse must be just around the corner. The Old Guy is proudly singing, "Bomb Iran" and he's still hanging around in the polls. The endless occupation of Iraq, more nuclear waste, Miss Buffalo Chip, and President Paris are all strong reasons for us to debate and embrace change.

Disturbing Revelations About Senator Clinton

I heard two disturbing breaking news stories announcing that Senator Hillary Clinton is reserving the right to have her delegates place her name in nomination at the upcoming Democratic Convention. I also heard that Denver had given a permit for Hillary's supporters to have a parade honoring her novel accomplishments. Apparently it is scheduled on the day that she is to speak at the convention. It was reported that some would be carrying their PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) signs. I'm concerned that such mess plays right into Rush Limbaugh's call to disrupt the convention on a scale akin to that which occurred in Chicago in 1968. I could even see him calling on the NEO-CONS to join in to heighten the discord.

How might we respectfully convince Senator Clinton to discourage her former supporters from staging such counter-productive activities? I know that many supporters of Senator Clinton left messages on my website (which you can still see today) supporting my efforts in this campaign but disagreed with me supporting Senator Barack Obama.

Brat Days Parade Accident

Its a very sad day in my hometown of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A man is in custody after a high-speed chase this morning brought a premature and nearly tragic end to the annual Brat Days Parade in Wisconsin. Four people were hurt, although none of the injuries were believed to be serious. The injured included Capt. James Veeser of the Sheboygan Police Department, who was directing parade traffic, and a 7-year-old child.

Mario A. White, 21, is expected to be charged with operating while intoxicated causing injury after the car he was driving crashed at the intersection of North 14th Street and Erie Avenue, blowing a tire, hopping the curb and coming to rest on the sidewalk in front of Walgreens in view of hundreds of parade spectators.

According to the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department, a 911 caller reported at 9:23 a.m. that a silver Mercury Grand Marquis was being driven erratically near Interstate 43 and county Highway 42. The car was headed eastbound on Erie Avenue at about 80 mph, straight into the route of the parade, which was coming west along Erie Avenue.

Letter To Democratic Underground

EXCLUSIVE BLOG POST

Democratic Underground Community:

My name is Asher Heimermann, 14, from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I’ve been active in politics and campaigns since I was in fifth grade. I have contacted Senators and Representatives in Washington, DC. Recently, I have been volunteering for Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

Today, I would like to draw attention to questions from people across the United States of America and the world asking me why I’m so active in politics at such a young age. I will try my best to educate you on why that is.

I got involved in politics after I was following the discussion in my hometown of Sheboygan of where to place a new police station for the Sheboygan Police Department. Shortly after that battle, a recall effort was under way of Mayor Juan Perez and that got me more interested in local politics.

In 2006, I got more interested and involved in national politics. As I stated before, I have been volunteering for Senator Obama’s presidential campaign. I choose to support Senator Obama because I felt that he is the best person to be President of the United States and change the political game in Washington. I was also able to have raised over $3,000 for Senator Obama’s campaign online.

I would like to inform you all that on August 12, I will be observing International Youth Day and I hope you will too. International Youth Day is a political day designated by the United Nations. The purpose of the day is to draw attention to cultural and legal issues surrounding youth.

In closing, everyone has the power to make a difference. You can make a difference by; attending events, signing petitions, contacting your elected officials, and writing letters to your local newspapers. Use the First Amendment right of free speech and let your voice be heard. I know that I will continue to stay involved and follow politics and our government.

Political Commercials

Well, the presidential campaign commercials started off nice but the ads coming from Senator John McCain are now are very annoying. I'd like to hear what Senator McCain wants to accomplish, not them ripping Senator Barack Obama.

I haven't seen or heard any commercials from Senator Obama's campaign that is bashing Senator McCain.Remember, Senator Obama says that he will change the same old political game in Washington, DC. As you can see from Senator McCain, there won't be any change from him. Kudos to Senator Obama for keeping his campaign ads clean. The more I see, the more I realize I'm making the right choice of supporting Senator Obama!

Thousands of Youth Rally for Health Coverage

Congress continues to debate health reform. Meanwhile, thousands of children stepped up and took the message that children need health coverage now to their communities and Members of Congress.

Young people in 24 states and 61 cities did their part to raise awareness and demand comprehensive health coverage for every child by writing letters to and visiting elected officials, joining together for marches and rallies, and leading awareness activities.

Congress August Recess

In less than a week, our legislators will pour out of Washington, DC when the United States Congress shuts down for the August recess. The We campaign has created a new print ad to make sure Former President Al Gore's clean electricity challenge stays on the top of our leaders' minds during their break.

The challenge of producing 100% of our electricity from wind, solar and other clean energy sources - and doing so within 10 years - is ambitious but achievable. It is exactly the kind of challenge members of Congress should be willing to embrace.

Youth & Political Ads

MTV has started accepting political ads. And the first political ad that millions of young people will see is a negative attack on Senator Barack Obama - saying he's "worse than a flip-flopper" and accusing him of no longer being against the war.

Senator Obama seems that he can do very well with young people. Senator John McCain says that he is leader. I disagree with that. He is not a leader in my eyes if he allows his campaign to spread untrue and misleading information about Senator Obama. It's just outrageous.

While I thank Senator McCain for his service to the United States of America, I don't feel that he is the right person to be President of the United States. I want someone that will change the game in Washington, DC and I believe Senator Obama is that person.

I think that people will look forward to seeing a young Senator Obama on MTV then a old Senator McCain. I know many young people that just hate President George W. Bush because of how we are living lately and they say that Senator McCain is just like another President Bush.

The Save Brett Campaign

I came across this website today and I would like to share with all of my supporters and my blog readers. I believe this is something that is important related to football.

SaveBrett.net was created by Tony Mars on July 12, 2008 as the original petition site to advocate for the return of Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers as starting quarterback in the 2008-2009 football season.

I would ask that everyone that reads my blog and visits my website in Wisconsin, please check out this website and join the fight to bring Brett back to play football in Green Bay! Togther, we all can make sure voice heard!
