I was inspired by Sarea's diary to write the email to Rick Warren.

The Monetary-Industrial Complex

So there you have it. When a Republican is president, the Fed eases interest rates in election years by much more than the objective economic circumstances dictate. Conversely, when a Democrat is president, the Fed tightens interest rates in election years by much more than the objective economic circumstances dictate. And for a while, anyway, the economy responds. And so do voters.

Nice little racket, eh?

Top CEOs Give 10 Times More To McCain Than Obama; McCain Promises Huge Tax Breaks For Them In Return

I am generally an optimist, but there are days when as a minister and an advocate, I feel discouraged, especially when I'm being attacked from either the left or the right.But there are signs that we are moving towards a world of sexual justice.

Rod Parsley, megachurch Pastor, and spiritual adviser of John McCain is willing to liberate the Arabs from their belief in God (Allah) by military means. However the Bible gives no reason to hate Islam like Parsley does.

Acts 7, 20 to 23: "At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father's house for three months. But when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds. Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel."

McCain's foreign policy

This man is simply too dangerous and unstable to be president. People need to wake up and get a look of the preview he's giving us of a McCain presidency.

Russia & Georgia, US & Hamas, Cheney & Musharraf A good, quick, smart read.

Not a fair trade  For what my home state, Wisconsin, has spent on the occupation of Iraq, we could have built more than 2.7 million homes with renewable electricity for one year.

Frederick Douglass

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."

EEOC issues New Guidelines on Religious Discrimination

From 'What If' to 'Here's How!'

Destination Home is a permanent supportive housing program built on philosophy of 'housing first'. Now that may sound too much like non-profit, sociology, insider speak, but it essentially means this - we believe that we can help solve the problem of homelessness for a number of people by giving them access to the dignity that comes with having the privacy that comes with a roof over their heads, and a key in their pocket.

Out of the eight comments my last article recieved 'How I Plan to Arrest the President', they all focused on one sentence about illegal immigration. So I'm republishing two articles on immigration reform from my website- VoteStrike.com Enjoy!!

I hate the McCain "THE ONE" ad as much as any of us, but IT IS NOT calling Obama THE FRIGGING ANTI-CHRIST!!!!

That's just what some outraged Christian supporters of the Democratic nominee are claiming John McCain's campaign did in an ad called "The One" that was recently released online. The Republican nominee's advisers brush off the charges, arguing that the spot was meant to be a "creative" and "humorous" way of poking fun at Obama's popularity by painting him as a self-appointed messiah. But even this innocuous interpretation of the ad -- which includes images of Charlton Heston as Moses and culled clips that make Obama sound truly egomaniacal -- taps into a conversation that has been gaining urgency on Christian radio, political blogs, and in widely-circulated email messages that accuse Obama of being the Antichrist.

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the Department of Health and Human Services is circulating the draft of a regulation that would allow health care professionals and institutions to refuse to provide women access to some of the most common forms of contraception, under the auspices that such contraception is a form of abortion. The purpose of the draft rule is to pre-empt state laws that have protected women's ability to get birth control at pharmacies where a particular pharmacist refuses to fill these prescriptions.

With over 90% of Catholics who have ever had sexual intercourse claiming to have used contraceptives at some point, the question has to be asked of Senator McCain, if he supports the latest draconian efforts by the Bush administration to push this country back to the stone age? Rather than try and help impoverished people and reduce the number of abortions in this country, will McCain continue this Bush policy as he has so many others? How will he explain this to Catholic voters that he desperately needs this fall for the election?
