    To Bush, McCain and Olmert: The Congo Cries Out and all of you remain silent By Mary MacElveen November 14, 2006
    The lesson for the GOP to take from last week’s election results in which they lost majority rule in both houses is that the American people saw through the deceit in using our military to fight an immoral war in Iraq. If we are to gain respect world-wide, it would be to stand up to brutal acts that continue to this day.
    No, I am not speaking of Iran. In fact I think some (…)

    Was the reaction to the 2006 election a ‘Network’ moment? By Mary MacElveen November 14, 2006
    In thinking back to America’s reaction to the 2006 mid term elections, the only term that I can come up with that best describes the results of these elections is that America had a ‘Network’ moment. We all remember that movie Network in which the producer opened up the window and angrily shouted out, “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!”
    For years the electorate was (…)

    Through Howard Dean’s ‘fifty state strategy’ it was ‘mission accomplished’ By Mary MacElveen November 11, 2006
    It has been reported that James Carville would like to replace Howard Dean with Harold Ford Jr. to head the Democratic National Committee, in which he said "Suppose Harold Ford became chairman of the DNC? How much more money do you think we could raise? Just think of the difference it could make in one day. Now probably Harold Ford wants to stay in Tennessee. I just appointed (…)

    Can any impeachment of Bush stand up to the rule of law with a changed Constitution? By Mary MacElveen November 11, 2006
    While some polls are beginning to ask Americans how they feel concerning the impeachment of President Bush as evident in this MSNBC poll, much should be taken into account before we even think of said proceedings. I will get to that in a bit.
    I was heartened to see that 87% felt in relation to this question “Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to (…)

    The New Democratic majority must restore the U.S. Constitution By Mary MacElveen November 9, 2006
    In going through all 517 photos showing the reactions to many different races either won or lost, the ones showing Senator-elect Jon Tester were the ones that especially hit home. After all it was our test to see whether or not a common man can go on to represent the people he grew up amongst. He was the ‘tester’ to see anyone of us can run and go on to win a senate seat.
    We all think (…)

    The Democratic Victory: ‘It’s the people’s agenda, stupid’ By Mary MacElveen November 8, 2006
    When Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi the incoming Speaker of the House stated that impeachment was not on the table in relation to Bush, it angered most on the more liberal side of the Democratic Party including myself. Hindsight being what it is, it was smart of her to say that. In fact, if that had been our main platform, there would have been a sharp rebuke by the electorate itself. The take (…)

    If you truly believe in the pledge of allegiance, hand the GOP a defeat at the polls By Mary MacElveen November 6, 2006
    Tomorrow’s elections will tell us whether or not our fellow Americans truly want a change or live as we have lived since Bush took office. If we are truly a freedom loving people our only moral choice at this point is to stop America from bleeding out.
    I see America as if she were lying on a battlefield mortally wounded. Do we pass her by or act as a medic and (…)

    Will air raid drills be far behind if Bush and the GOP retain power? By Mary MacElveen November 5, 2006
    I am going to ask this question based upon based upon this Times Online article: Nuclear steps put region on brink of most fearful era yet, exactly how has the Bush/GOP led government made the world safer?
    This article cites “with the sudden rush by Arabs, Iranians and Turks to master nuclear technology and one day unlock the secrets to the atomic bomb.” They also have stated that it (…)

    As our parting gift to Pataki, re-elect Alan Hevesi for NY State Comptroller
    By Mary MacElveen
    November 5, 2006
    I want everyone living in New York State to think back to last winter especially if they heat their homes with oil. As the tank gage inched lower, your anxiety of how you were going to pay for another delivery sky rocketed. I know mine did. You would have thought that Governor George Pataki could have demanded assistance on behalf of all of us for some relief from his (…)

    As a former Republican, I would never support Peter King and Joe Lieberman By Mary MacElveen November 4, 2006
    Every morning, I check the stats on my blog to see which articles are resonating with my readers it helps me focus on what issues are important and issues that are not. As I checked the stats this morning, my jaw dropped as I saw that my piece “February 15th, 2003: Little did we know” was read by 444 people. You may ask why this surprises me. I have written for sites such as (…)
