You Want To Stop Further Fannie/Freddie Bailouts?


Then you are going to have to have the right night watchmen to warn you of impending disasters.

Senator John Sununu is such a night watchman. Too bad no one listened to him–we would have been much better off if his voice was taken heed of. In any event, now that we are navigating some rough financial waters, we are going to need skilled helmsmen like Senator Sununu to help us out. And he can only do that if we make sure to help re-elect him.

[Subject] StateDemocracy.org Equips You for the 2008 Elections

timothymoriarty Tuesday, September 23rd at 3:51AM EST (link)

Dear Citizen:
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
? Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
? Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
? Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions — and all your voting needs — can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org — the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.
Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.
LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices
Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors. This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination.
StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!
Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering. I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect! Engage! And Empower!

John Sununu

Scope (Diary) Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:03AM EST (link)

John Sununu is one of the Gang of 20 who supported the Christmas Tree for Democrats Energy bill. H. R. 6899 which passed the House was a clone of the Bipartisan No New Energy Plan. I could never support someone who was willing to throw away all the work the Repubs. had done with a real energy plan, especially when the real Republicans had so much support from the American Voters/Taxpayers.

And you would rather have his opponent in office?

This is the one senator I really like, and his opponent won’t be better on any of the other issues you may support.

Although I am pretty sure Sununu isn’t going to survive this election anyway. Shaheen signs and commercials are everywhere and Sununu doesn’t even seem to be in the race at this point.

But Sununu’s opposition to the energy bill was in response to constituents back home, but when it comes to fiscal conservatism they don’t come much better than Sununu and he will be a huge loss to the senate if Shaheen takes his position.
