Sign this petition to support the legal effort to amend our tax laws such that the Mormon Church, and other transgressing churches, would lose tax-exempt status if they continue lobbying for state propositions.
Not too long ago, for the first time I stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and looked out over the reflecting pool, thinking of what Dr. Martin Luther King must have been thinking as he told hundreds of thousands of Americans about his 'dream' for our country. I stood there completely engrossed in my thoughts, as I remembered listening to him and how inspiring he was. And there was never more of a 'son-of-the-Confereracy' than me. I am very proud of my ancestors sacrifices not only during The Civil War, but also during The American Revolution and The Texas Revolution.
But I have never been MORE proud than I am tonight. A little more than 140 years after the end of the Civil War, I watched an African-American become the 44th President of The United States of America. When I was growing up in the 1960's, nothing of this sort was even dared to be dreamed of.
But truly, it has been proven tonight that ANYONE REALLY CAN BECOME PRESIDENT. The election of Barack Obama to the presidency is not only an achievement for the African-American youth of this country....but for ALL of America's youth!
I was so wishing that Daddy had lived to see this. I have been sad when he wasn't around to see the Berlin Wall felled and the end of the Cold War and the Soviet Union. But THIS? The man who made me into the Democrat AND the American that I am, would have loved to have seen this moment. But I also believe that he, Dr. King, LBJ, JFK and RFK, along with so many that have gone before, are looking down and smiling right now.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
And GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA, 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

The cherry picked, 3 man panel finally announced today that Sarah Palin is cleared of any wrong doing regarding putting pressure on Walt Monegan and firing him for not firing her ex-brother in law for things that happened many years earlier.
The timing is pretty ruthless and obvious they would come back with this one day prior to voting, but it's going to back fire! This news doesn't erase that the entire Republican led legislative body found her guilty.
Since we're on it, where's her medical report that she promised to reveal on Oct. 22? The hospital released information 48 hrs after request. We want to see that she did not have a tubal ligation as rumors are floating on the internet and that we haven't been punked. It would explain why the McCain team has called her "rogue" and "has trust issues with her family" and "is a whack job." Notice McCain has distanced himself of her. If she's been a drag on the ticket, does that make her a Drag Queen? lol.
As I was watching President Clinton campaigning in Florida for Barack Obama, I was seriously awe struck.
Two of the greatest political minds and two of the greatest political orators in a generation...speaking intelligently about, not only the plight of America, but also in the future of our country and the world. And what it would take to pull America back up within the world community as THE leader for democracy and freedom. The shining beacon of hope for the downtrodden within not only our society, but worldwide.
And then I got to thinking about the last eight years. A president of shallow character, even shallower thinking and with absolutely no ability to see the American people as the backbone of everything that makes The United States of America great! A 'leader' who never lead....only followed. A president who put us in the international 'backseat' of concern for others. A commander-in-chief who became the biggest terrorist, torturer and mass murderer since the fall of 'Iron Curtain' in Europe. A man who indiscremently ordered the killing of thousands of innocent Iraqis under the guise of 'freeing' them.
After which I realized just how great this country is, and how resilient The Founding Fathers so aptly created this experiment, that we could come thru such horrible times as "The W Years", and still be able to find public servants like Barack Obama that has the brains and compassion and GUTS to take on such a mess, and to do it with such calming and precise reasoning and thinking.
Elizabeth Dole calls her opponent, former Sunday school teacher, Kay Haggen "godless" CNN says that the Dole campaign contacted the person who is in charge of McCain's advertising in desperation.
