CC, you can read the petition at my site. We are asking for personal finance education. More importantly we are asking for guaranteed funding, we don’t want the kids to be left behind.

NED, I talk to republicans every day as I live in a republican county. I ask them to sign my education petition and they do but the conversation always turns to Bushie. You are the whacko and the minority. Sorry honey but your party has turned on you.

#26 – where did I say that Sheehan didn’t have the right to do what she’s doing? Personally, I hope she keeps doing it. She’s a proven liar and will only help rally the right wing base of the Republican Party. We will use her the way we used Michael Moore.

Yeah NED, how dare an American citizen attempt redress of greivances with a public elected official — in public no less! How shameful.

No American citizen should have the right to petition the President for any reason. That’s the trouble with this country, too much free speech and free assembly. Now if only there were a way to stifle dissent… wouldn’t that be great?

Neddy, I know it’s not your forte, but try using a little logic. If you really thought I was hurting my own cause, and therefore helping your cause, you wouldn’t be trying your best (which admittedly isn’t all that good, but oh well) to discourage me from doing what I’m doing.

Stay away from the poker table, Neddy. You’re not very good at bluffing.

Gary – you are a LIAR. AND delusional. Bush won and until you accept that you will only see more defeat. Thank god for idiots like you.

But even with all that, Ohio still voted against Kerry

You’re still a liar, Neddy. Ohio didn’t vote against Kerry. Diebold and Kenny Blackwell fixed the election.

Susan – Cindy Sheehan is a disgrace and a wack-job. She will only hurt your cause. Most moderates I know are upset with Bush, but think Sheehan is disgusting for exploiting her son’s death.

If you guys want to keep her on the front page – fine. It only helps Republicans and makes liberals look like fools.

Taft is RINO trash. They can throw his as* in jail for all I care. He has literally destroyed Ohio and the state GOP.

Voinivich, Taft and DeWine could all go down for all I care. They are liars and they are the reason Republicans are in trouble in the state. Contrary to liberal belief, it has nothing to do with the war in Ohio.

But even with all that, Ohio still voted against Kerry – lol!!

Excuse me, Rush, could you step away from the medicine cabinet and axplain this to me.

What’s hilarious is that Taft actually has the option to pardon himself even after a conviction! But Ohioans won’t stand for it, and he’s a goner.

A funny tidbit: Taft’s great-grandfather President Taft was famous for splitting the Republican Party in 1910 into moderates and conservatives… thus helping Democrats win…

You thinking what I’m thinking?

I’m all for educating consumers: start here by starving the Republican party of your money by boycotting companies that give a significant amount of money to the GOP and go with those who don’t.

Simple things you can do:
(1) Shop at Costco and not WalMart
(2) Buy gasoline from Citgo and not from the others

Next step:
(1) Change your car insurance to Progressive (definitely not State Farm)

Note to Mr. Noe — “poor baby.” Boo-hoo.

I’m not that familiar with Taft, but from what I know they can’t get him out of office fast enough!

Susan, bravo on your march! I applaud the passion. But would you consider also implementing more personal financial education in the schools? I think there is a complete lack of practical “life management” education in our high schools and instead of blaming the marketers I think we should educate the consumers.

What do you think?

My right-wing Bush-voting brother-in-law in Toledo reports that Mr Noe has had to pull his kids from their local private school, sell both his Ohio houses and move to his third Florida because of the Coingate scandal. Noe-where to hide scumbag!

Sign Cindys petition at michaelmoore.com/after you sign you will be directed to a link to write Laura Bush a letter that will be delivered to her tomorrow. (Thurs.)

You must do this immediately to be included.

I wrote: Dear Laura,

I understand why your husband is unable to feel sorrow. Anti depressants have that affect on people. But you on the other hand should have the feeling of sorrow for the mothers who have lost children in Iraq.

Cindy and the rest of the country want honest anwers to why we invaded Iraq when Saddam Hussein was not a threat to America. And if he was in your mind such a threat then why haven’t you sent your daughters to fight this “noble cause”?

Why are our children dying in Iraq? Why can’t we get an honest answer? Why does the reason for the war change on a daily basis?

The majority of the country believe that control over Iraqs oil is the reason for the 1800+ dead soldiers. The minority of the country who support the war in Iraq believe that we went to war for a regime change which is against the law and is an impeachable offense.

Either way Laura, your husband is not sitting well with the American People. Most say oil, the rest say criminal act, which is it?

If you can support my cause by visiting my site I would truly appreciate it. I’m walking to Springfield, Illinois to petition the governor to include debt education in schools. (Credit card companies target students like the military recruiters do, they are unscrupulous)

I understand that many of you are not Illinois residents but our cause has taken on a national agenda. WE HAVE TO WALK TO SPRINGFIELD BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD THE RISING COST OF GASOLINE.

We have added that message to our local cause. Nationally we must let this administration know that just because other countries are not competent enough to negotiate low cost gasoline doesn’t mean that our President has to follow suit.

Every American President has been able to keep the price of gasoline at a reasonable rate and Bushie must do the same or be fired from his position.

Speak out for me if you can. Thank you.
