Father God who represents all the people not just Republicans, hear our prayer. Let the people take back the government to put restraints on George W. Bush. Let the Democrats win many house and senate seats to send the message that the people have had enough lies and cheating in government. We as this in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Ghost, world without end AMEN.

Called "Impossible to Ignore" by the NY Times and "One of the most important political docs of the past several years" by L.A. Weekly, "AMERICAN BLACKOUT" chronicles the voter disenfranchisement that occurred in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. As we approach November, it's important that we keep a vigilant eye on our election systems, making sure that all voters can get to the polls, and that their votes are counted proper.

Will it be Mitt Romney? John McCain? Hillary Clinton? Would the South vote for an LDS (Mormon) candidate? McCain is despised by many, so will that keep him from getting the GOP nomination?

Will the Iraq War guarantee a landslide for the Dems? Will Hillary be seen as too liberal to represent the nation and therefore not be elected? Will the Democratic nominee by ultra-liberal (Kerry, Hillary, etc.) and/or the Republican nominee be ultra-conservative?

Any and all input is welcomed, but please explain why you believe the way you do.

Does anybody ever wonder why all Democrats in Washington are sooooo rich, and why all of them are white, and why they are working so hard to take all our money in taxes in order to make sure they are the ones in charge of it as if you have no education, are ignorant, and cannot possibly manage money on your own?

Do the Democrats realize that those they currently have in power are the rich elite who want to convert America into a socialist country and portion out money to all in the amounts that they feel you deserve (which wouldn't be much) and watch you toil and work all day while they themselves sit on the plantation porch (Congress/White House) drinking a mint julep and living off of a Heinz fortune?

I remember that then-Vice President Al Gore conceded the 2000 presidential election and retracted it in November of 2000. And after the whole fiasco was over, he officially delivered a concession speech in December 2000.
But I've never heard if then-Governor George W Bush had a concession speech written in the event that he lost the election. Does anyone know if he did?

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton said Saturday that voters "know something is wrong" in Washington and urged Democrats to create change in the November elections. "I have never seen the American people so serious," said Clinton. "I think I know why. People know things are out of whack. The rhythm of our public life and our common life in America has been disturbed."

The former president was the keynote speaker at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, the Iowa Democratic Party's biggest annual fundraising event. He drew more than 3,500 activists.

There is speculation that Clinton's wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, may seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. She has not been in Iowa during this election cycle, even though other candidates have already begun campaigning in the state that will open the presidential nominating season.

Bill Clinton joked about the speculation. "I am under no illusions as to why I'm here," he said. "You were so desperate for a Democrat with any name recognition at all who isn't running for president that you resorted to the chief caseworker to the junior senator from New York."

Clinton urged activists to focus on the midterm election.

"People are sick of partisanship, they are sick of gridlock and they are coming to us in droves," said Clinton. "People know something is wrong and they want to change."

Clinton called the Bush administration and the Republican-led Congress "unprecedentedly unaccountable" and said tax cuts for the rich have led to huge deficits.

"This is not class warfare," said Clinton. "I've been poor and I've been rich and I like rich better. I want to pay my share. I don't need another vacation home."

Both the White House and Congress are resistant to scrutiny from the outside, he said.

"In Iraq, which is famous for no-bid contracts, $9 billion has gone missing and there has been no serious congressional investigation," said Clinton. "There's never been a more secretive, unaccountable administration."

SOLON, Iowa (AP) - Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards on Saturday bashed the Bush administration for "proactive stupidity" by sticking with a failed policy in Iraq and being unable to admit its mistakes.

He predicted the Iraq war and a wave of scandals in the Republican-run Congress will prompt voters to demand change in November.

"There is an underlying current that Democrats are in a strong position, for a lot of reasons," Edwards told The Associated Press. "Some of it is the scandals and corruption that people all across the country are seeing in Washington."

Edwards was spending the weekend in eastern Iowa raising money for Democratic legislative candidates.

He finished a surprising second in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses in the 2004 presidential election, and that propelled him to a spot on the ticket with eventual nominee John Kerry (website - news - bio) . Edwards has left little doubt he's interested in again seeking the party's nomination, and he's been among the most active of the potential candidates campaigning in Iowa.

Danny Diaz, a spokesman with the Republican National Committee, said Saturday that Edwards is a "failed presidential candidate and a rejected vice presidential candidate whose political attacks will be no more successful today than they were two years ago."

Edwards diverted from his campaign schedule to speak at a University of Iowa conference on poverty issues. "We should be for the eradication of poverty in America," he said. "In our party, we need to seize the moral high ground."
