Don't let Karl Rove steal another election!

This from Democrats.com

Our TV’s, radios, and mailboxes are being inundated with lies and smears against Democrats.

Who’s paying for all those attacks? Rightwing billionaires like the Koch brothers, rightwing corporations like FOX News, even foreign corporations dedicated to stealing our jobs.

Who’s “the architect” of this effort? Karl Rove.

Karl Rove stole the White House for George Bush in 2000 by getting 5 Republicans on the Supreme Court to throw out 175,000 votes and appoint Bush. He stole Congress for Republicans in 2002 by forcing a divisive vote for invading Iraq based on his WMD lies. He stole the White House for Bush again in 2004 through phony terror alerts and the Swift Boat smears against war hero John Kerry.

And now he’s at it again. He turned FOX News into a 24x7x365 Republican political machine, and even appears on FOX to smear President Obama personally. He set up a criminal secret slush fund to take millions from billionaires and corporations and spend it all smearing Democrats. (We are urging Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.) He vigorously defends other corporate slush funds like the Chamber of Commerce.

But we can beat Karl Rove in November, just as we did in 2006 and 2008. Here’s what we must do, starting immediately:

1. Vote straight Democratic
2. Tell everyone we know to vote straight Democratic
3. Even tell strangers to vote straight Democratic

Here are all the resources you need:

In many states, early voting has begun so you don’t have to wait for Election Day. After you vote, you can zap political ads, throw out political mail, and spend your free time telling friends and strangers to vote straight Democratic. This will be good for America, good for your mental health, and good for your soul.

Friday Fish Wrap: 16 January, 2009

The excitement was palpable, and hearts were thumping this evening as the very last of the contested elections in the entire United States, and the only one to be decided by a draw of cards. Here’s the funny part: Kim Toulouse and Chris Sewell did this once before and it was a tie. Anyway, it was so iconic of Nevada that it should be decided in this manner. I was, for a moment at least, proud of my state. I probably would have been even prouder had some gals from the Mustang Ranch been in attendance - it would have made for a complete picture - and more entertaining one, to boot - of the Nevada.

Friday Fish Wrap: November 7, 2008

I need to know a bit more about who reads blogs, why, which ones, for how long and stuff like that. I’ll really appreciate receiving an answer for the survey. It’s completely anonymous, so I won’t know who makes the smartypants remarks - what a shame.

An American Prayer: by Dave Stewart

I do care who you vote for, but even if you didn’t for my guy, I think you’ll dig this music video from Dave Stewart. It speaks to me, telling me that no matter what happens today, we still have a lot to do. The results of this election are just a starting point.

It's all over but for the crying

Well, we got it done with early voting here in Reno, Nevada today.

I couldn’t wait to cast my ballot, now all the ads, phone calls and discussion are academic. I can no longer be swayed - like I could have been.

If you haven’t voted yet, why not? It’s really simple here in Nevada, and pretty durn fool proof. Go online with your county registrar of voters to find out where and when you can early vote, and get it done with.
