RALLY'S

POLITICAL

9/24/08 at 10:50am on Cspan1 the House passed 2009 Federal Spending Bill rules 228/202, then passed a 2009 Defense Bill 392/39, 34 democrats voted no?

At 11am on Cspan1 Congressman Murtha was carrying DOD continuing authorization through March 09 vote and encouraged a yes vote. Congressman Lewis (R) did not like "process", DRILL,DRILL,DRILL. Retiring (R) from Florida is concerned because this bill out source’s NASA to Russia in 2010.

At 12:35pm in a Cnbc Headline “McCain suspending campaign to go to DC for Bailout talks. He suggests "postponing Friday's Debate". At least Headline News (cnn) gave Obama credit for contacting McCain first and for suggesting a Joint Statement.

At 1pm on Cspan1 Congressman Neal (D Mass.) was carrying HB 7005 on AMT Patch Tax Bill. Republican supporters stated the reason an AMT patch is needed now is because it's Clinton's fault. No (R) spoke against Bill. Last year the patch bill passed with 352 votes. Vote postponed at request of Neal, he wants the R’s on record. Then the Disaster Relief Tax Bill was taken up. Congressman Conyers was carrying it.

John Kerry emailed me that the market crisis has shown that our economy is in need of fundamental reform. We need to get a large progressive majority in Washington so that we can bring about real changes in our economy, changes that set the rules of the road so that hard-working Americans can get ahead in our economy.

I got an email last night from Brad Avakian, Oregon’s Labor Commissioner, he was asking for help to turn this economy around, he is going to need help. That's why He is supporting Jeff Merkley for Senate and Barack Obama for President. On Thursday, He invites you to join him and State Treasurer Randall Edwards at an economic forum to discuss how Senator Obama's economic plan will help Oregon's working families.

The forum will start at 2:00 PM on Thursday, September 25 at Barack Obama’s Campaign for Change Headquarters at 3016 SE Division Avenue in Portland. If you will be in the area, I hope you can make it. If not, be sure to help spread the word.

Our friends at True Majority are leading the way for over 20 different groups including MoveOn, USaction, and ACORN to name just a few. They organized the events, now we need to turn out and help make the events a success.
Stand with your neighbors and say NO Bush Bailout! The Vancouver for Peace Thursday visibility will be at the library on of Mill Plain, in front of the library.
