How Third Parties Will Navigate Around Denied Access

admin @ September 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) requires 15% in at least five national polls to participate in the debates and the current, two-party candidates have acquiesced to the thresholds created by the CPD. Garnering 15% in five national polls is a high bar but not unachievable IF there were actually five national polling firms that fairly included third party and independent candidates.

admin @ September 23, 2008 # 2 Comments

My brother and I live in Minneapolis, very close to St.Paul, -within a 10
minute drive to the RNC (Xcel Energy Center, downtown St.Paul). On day four
of the RNC, we went down to once again witness and video the grand old
circus, -kept safe by a massive police state. Our aim was to post up the
news and events that we saw to our Kucinich forum friends at the RNC. This
is the news from that day as it looked to us.

Op Ed Guest Presidential Candidate, David Jon Sponheim, “On the Destiny of US Involvement in Iraq”

admin @ September 22, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Unlike the plan to build a tri-state government in Iraq, I don’t want to force the Iraqi government to adopt any government devised by the U.S.. That can only lead to more hostility and sectarian violence. Separating people that once lived side by side in harmony makes no sense. We all have seen what the break up of Yugoslavia led to. That pattern is not the pathway to peace. It is only a new path to War.

I would offer the Iraqis a simple solution to their deeply troubled Nation. I propose that we assist the Iraqi’s in building Weapons Free Safe Zones where they can prosper in Renewable Energy Villages far away from any threat of Terror.

12 DAY CONVENTION PHOTO RECAP: DAY 9 of 12-RNC DAY 1

( Originally posted Sept 9/08)

more photos to be posted from Day 1 RNC asap

There was no question that the RNC was going to be different from the DNC (they have been, almost three cycles running now, from 2000 to 2008), and by the time I dragged my exhausted ragdoll self from Minneapolis to St.Paul to the Uptake.Org Offices, we were greeted, from the vantage point of our excellent locale, with Day One Protest Action. As you have seen in the videos from Day 8 “Police…”, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office engaged in all sorts of ‘preemptive actions’ against journalists, organized protest groups, and alleged terror cells. I really don’t know why anyone was surprise considering the $50 million plus budget allocated for “security”.

FROM DAVIS FLEETWOOD:”Obama v. McCain Challenge”

admin @ September 14, 2008 # No Comment Yet

For those of us know all to well to be looking between the lines, we think you’ll understand what Davis is trying to convey. While your at it, have a peek at www.operationitch.com.

Unless of course, you hear a few platitudes and are willing to give certain people a total pass. But that just proves you don’t know your history, doesn’t it? Well?
