EveningStarNM wrote a new diary post: Achieving Change
“Change” is what we thought that we were voting for in 2008. I know that’s what I was working for when I knocked on those hundreds of doors, registering voters and urging them to vote for Obama. I’m pretty sure that I persuaded some people who were thinking of voting for McCain to change their votes, [...] -

Thank you, jest. I have decided to fight and never again to give in.

EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Sam Seder’s Losing Strategy by EveningStarNM.
You’re absolutely right. We must not stay at home. We must vote. Personally, I’m voting Green. I know that Obama will win anyway — that’s got to be obvious. Even Republicans don’t like their candidates. But I’m not going to vote out of fear anymore. I will vote my conscience from now on. I want [...]

EveningStarNM wrote a new diary post: Sam Seder’s Losing Strategy
Sam Seder ( majority.fm) opposes Barack Obama’s usurpation of our constitutional rights. He’s criticized Obama for claiming that he can kill Americans anywhere at any time without judicial oversight. He thinks that Obama has capitulated too far to the banks and that the President’s desire to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are bad for the country. [...] -

EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Wolf PAC: A Constitutional Convention Is Dangerous by EveningStarNM.
That’s exactly my point. We have no idea what other changes would be made to our Constitution, or even if our present Constitution would not be scrapped and replaced by a completely new Constitution. We want one primary thing to be done: we want to strip corporations of their political rights and to get the [...]

Wow! I love it! I’d never heard of MOP before. Thanks!

EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Wolf PAC: A Constitutional Convention Is Dangerous by EveningStarNM.
Our first constitutional convention was only supposed to tinker with the Articles of Confederacy. They had no mandate to scrap it and to start over from scratch. They did it anyway. A constitutional convention has no restrictions on the scope of its work, and if you don’t think the Koch brothers would do everything they [...]

EveningStarNM wrote a new diary post: Wolf PAC: A Constitutional Convention Is Dangerous
In his announcement of Wolf-Pac.com and the effort to amend the Constitution to strip corporations of their human rights, Cenk Uygur said that one objective was to have the states call for a constitutional convention. A constitutional convention is a different kind of body, and one is not required if the goal is to create and pass amendments [...] -
EveningStarNM commented on the blog post Yep, Change the Senate Rules Really Is that Easy
It’s not news that the Democrats lied. What is news is that they proved that they lied, and I appreciate the story. It goes to show what I’ve been saying all along: Republicans aren’t the problem. It’s Democrats who are the problem. We can forget about Republicans. They will be driven from office in droves in even bigger numbers than they were in 2008 if Democrats ever decide to get honest, clean up their corruption, and start working for the American people rather than for the 1%.
Unfortunately, Democrats won’t do that until we get rid of those who promise change but never actually deliver it.

EveningStarNM wrote a new diary post: Messaging Success at OccupyWallStreet
I could not have been more wrong. Last week I wrote a post entitled ” Messaging Failure at #OccupyWallStreet “. I noted the vagueness of the reasons that some people expressed when interviewed as their reason for attending the protest. Since then, others have noted the wide-ranging “and-a-pony” variety of the occupiers’ signs and complaints. There was also [...] -
EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Impeach Barack Obama by EveningStarNM.
Yeah, I know. I agree 100%. Unfortunately, the guy we need to talk to in order to get Bush and Cheney prosecuted is the same guy who killed Al-Awlaki. There seems to be a connection.

EveningStarNM wrote a new diary post: Impeach Barack Obama
“…nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;…” –Excerpt from the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
Anwar al-Awlaki was accused of harming the United States. However, rather than present the evidence of such crimes, Barack Obama ordered his killing without any process required by our Constitution. Anwar al-Awlaki [...]

EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Challenging Obama inside the Democratic Party by Alan Maki.
The article is misleading. Nader DOES NOT intend a real challenge to Obama in the primaries. He and Cornel West are putting together a panel of six topic specialists, none of whom are viable presidential candidates, in an effort only to spur debates on the issues among Democrats. Their goal is to make Obama more [...]

EveningStarNM commented on the diary post Messaging Failure at OccupyWallStreet by EveningStarNM.
Straw man? Bullshit. You said, “Maybe this a moment to let the striving, goal-oriented message machine take care of itself. The last thing we want is to enter their BS ‘marketplace of ideas.’” The only option left is to give up on on that marketplace, but if we do then the vast majority of people [...]

Then you are surrendering? Sorry, not interested. I will not let others speak for me. I will control my own voice, and I will make sure that I am heard. I will not let cynicism (“The media is going to misrepresent any form of non-corporate expression”) stop me from working toward my goals. People can [...]

Absolutely! The people at OccupyWallStreet are wonderful. I admire them, and I’m very grateful that they’re willing to be there and to carry our voices. I hope that everyone contributes to their efforts:
