Did you register to vote? If you show up at the polls on November 4, 2008 but cannot be located in the book or are challenged:

Request a provisional ballot. If the poll worker refuses, ask again.

If the poll worker refuses, ask again.

Firmly and politely ask again.

Saturday Night Live: Pres. Bush endorses McCain and Palin

From the ACLU

Did you know that Congress has signed away our right to privacy?

It’s true! By making FISA law, the President and Congress made it legal for US agencies to spy on our text messages, email, and phone calls to people outside the US, without any cause, reason or let alone a warrant. Does that sound like a right to privacy to you?

Help the ACLU turn outrage into action by sharing your message of support on their new ad now!

In a speech on July 7th, John McCain repeated the misleading attack that “Senator Obama will raise your taxes.” In reality, Senator Obama’s plan will not raise taxes and will provide a bigger break for middle class Americans than McCain’s plan. As numerous outside observers agree, McCain’s claims that Obama will raise taxes are “wrong,” “false,” and “misleading.”

TAKE ACTION NOW

Push back on this misleading attack by forwarding this post to your friends and family.

John McCain and his campaign will continue to repeat these false claims, and we need you to be vigilant about making sure people know the facts.

BACKGROUND

THE MISLEADING MCCAIN RHETORIC:

"We need to keep the IRS from taking more of your income and making life harder for small business. If you believe you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you. Senator Obama is your man. The choice in this election is stark and simple. Senator Obama will raise your taxes. I won't. I will cut them where I can. Jobs are the most important thing our economy creates. When you raise taxes in a bad economy you eliminate jobs. I'm not going to let that happen. Senator Obama's tax increases will hurt the economy even more, and destroy jobs across this country.” [McCain Speech, 7/7/08]

The Obama campaign just released a new ad that sets the record straight on energy policy and responds to false, negative attacks by John McCain and the Republican party.

The 30-second spot, "New Energy," highlights Senator Obama's plan to make us energy independent and bring relief to middle class families, compared to John McCain's plan to continue George Bush's failed energy policy and offer more tax
breaks to big oil.

Background

Barack Obama's energy plan will provide meaningful short-term relief for our families and make a historic investment in alternative energy development that will create millions of new jobs, keep the cost of energy affordable and secure our energy independence once and for all.

While Obama is offering real solutions for America's energy future, the Republican National Committee recently released a false, negative ad attacking Barack Obama on energy.

From the ACLU:

The Supreme Court just issued an historic decision restoring the rule of law to the prison at Guantánamo. This is a stunning blow to the Bush administration's system of injustice.

Help make sure this decision marks the beginning of the end reprehensible practices that have been carried out in the name of the American people at Guantánamo Bay, including the failed Military Commissions system.

Sign the petition calling on America's leaders to end the system of injustice at the prison at Guantánamo Bay.
