More Women In American Politics

Friday, November 28th, 2008

This past presidential election was really something. Women in American politics was center stage for everyone to see. Hillary Clinton running for the Democratic Presidential nomination and Sarah Palin running for the Republican Vice President nomination. These were two different but driving individuals. In the end, both lost for their bids but the political scene has probably changed for ever. Expect to see more women in American politics running for the highest US office.

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Today, we congratulate Barack Obama as our President. Today is indeed a momentous day. For the first time in American history, an African American has rode on the wings of ascendency to the ultimate prize - to be the President of the United States.

Americans are anticipating better times ahead. The world is expecting a stronger US economy. Buoyant sentiments have boosted the dollar, and that has shaved off a massive 3 percent of the price of oil to $68 a barrel.

11 ways to win the Presidency in 2008

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Number 1: Tie the economic recovery and the oil/gas crisis together. Announce a major X billion dollar program to fix the economy and get energy independence all in one, long term plan.

Number 3: Nationalize all the off shore drilling past the 10 or 20 mile limit. In other words, once you are 10 miles off shore, the states have no jurisdiction. All environment suits must be filed in one federal court. State courts will not have the right to hold up drilling permits any longer.

Louis ONeill Moldovan September Speech

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Ambassador Louis ONeill Head of OSCE Mission to Moldova
Institutional Renewal and Creating Effective Mechanisms; Delivered to the Moldovan Parliament on September 19, 2007

We last gathered together in February and I spoke then in some depth about institutional controls over government action.  We discussed how important checks and balances are to prevent any one branch, group or individual leader from becoming too strong or too unaccountable, particularly in new democracies without a history and tradition of restraint among their leaders.  Today’s topic – Institutional Renewal and Creating Effective Mechanisms – continues this discussion, but from a different angle, a somewhat more philosophical one.  But at the same time perhaps even a more fundamental angle.  Indeed, the most powerful approach to checking-and-balancing a political system is likely to be found in its constant improvement, upgrading, renewal, and perfection.  It is to be found in the renewal of the very personnel that comprise leadership by the peaceful and timely transfer of power.

Campaign signs ready for 2008

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Political yard signs are one of the most noticeable attributes of a political campaign in the United States. These small signs are often placed in yards and other highly visible places. Lawn signs are considered a vital component of any local campaign. They are a cheap and effective method of making a candidate known in the election district.

Campaign signs play an instrumental role in establishing a candidate’s identity and acquainting the public with the names of citizens who are running for public office. Political yard signs generally contain the name of the candidate and the office they are running for, and if the candidate is an incumbent, the sign may say so. In some cases, party affiliation might be mentioned on the sign. Extras like the election date or campaign slogan are often added but tend to divert the viewer from the key message. Party symbols are quite popular with yard signs, but photos on a yard sign are controversial. An attractive photo can lead voters to identify with the candidate; on the other hand, signs with photos are usually more expensive. Election and Campaign Sign package prices will depend upon the color, size and quantity you order.

Facts Against Hillary Clinton

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

The audio book ‘The Case Against Hillary Clinton’ shows an other side of the ex-First Lady who is a candidate for US President.

Publishers Weekly said about the book: “Noonan offers a searing analysis of what she sees as the emptiness of HRC’s political platform and the mountain of questions about her past that remain unanswered.”

Certainly worthwhile listening to, if you want to make yourself an image of who HRC really is. There are more audio books about Hillary Clinton, some pro, some contra. I’m currently listening to them all to be able to get a clearer image of who I should vote for….

Marriage and Politics - Same Sex vs. Traditional Husband and Wife

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Besides the war in Iraq, little has caught the media’s attention more that the issue of “same sex” marriages. After Massachusetts set a new standard back in 2003, many states have constituencies on both sides striving to get their way. You have the gay activists trying to push the acceptance of same sex marriage, while opponents have pushed to incorporate same sex bans into their constitutions.

For more on this topic go here: Marriage and Politics - Same Sex vs. Traditional Husband and Wife. This is a current article taken from a news cast on 2/17/07. It is found in an article directory on a website that primarily sells Traditional Wedding Invitations but also has many informative wedding planning articles to help the bride.

Hillary Clinton considering candidacy for 2008

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Hillary Clinton announced on her website today that she will consider a presidential candidacy for 2008. This was to be expected and certainly brings drive to the Democrats battle to regain power.

In the audio book ‘The Case for Hillary Clinton‘, longtime political analyst Susan Estrich argues that no candidate even approaches the power and promise of Hillary Rodham Clinton , the senator from New York. Both a passionate spokesperson for progressive values and a strong advocate for our troops overseas, Clinton has used her time in the Senate to establish herself successfully as a genuine political powerhouse. And she offers Americans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break the world’s most prominent glass ceiling and elect a female president of the United States.
