Let Congress Know You Don’t Oppose Gay Marriage

1 Reply

This just in from my pal Bobby Lilly.
Bobby’s trying to get the word out about the Million for Marriage.org website and petition in favor of same sex marriages.
It’s all from the Human Rights Campaign.
From Bobby: Got this request and am passing it on to friends I think might support the issue. So, if you haven’t signed the petition yet, please use the link they offer in the body of the message below and maybe pass it on to a friend.
Click the following link to sign a petition that will be delivered to Congress in favor of same sex marriage:

Dear Bobby,
In just 10 days, same-sex couples will be issued marriage licenses for the first time in Massachusetts. As the newlyweds celebrate their marriages, we know that our ultra-conservative opponents will use this historic moment to viciously attack them and all GLBT families.
We – all of us who support marriage equality – must demonstrate our strength and unity at this critical time. Here’s one important way you can help: Right now, almost 450,000 people have signed the Million for Marriage petition. By May 17th, we’d like to get to 500,000 – a half-million people.
Please, take a minute to think of one more person that you could persuade to stand up for equality. Click here to send them a message right now:

Or forward this e-mail to your friends and ask them to click the following link to sign the petition:

Our voices – 500,000 loud and strong — will help counter the right-wing extremists’ wave of fear and lies, and will give hope and support to the couples about to marry in Massachusetts. Thank you, as always, for your actions today.
Many thanks,
Cheryl A. Jacques President

Joseph Wilson On Meet The Press

Leave a reply

This is from the May 2, 2004 program of
Meet the Press.
This directory contains the entire interview in one big file and three smaller files:

Joseph Wilson On Meet The Press.
Check out Joseph Wilson’s new book:
The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife’s CIA Identity: A Diplomat’s Memoir.
One thing Joseph said that sticks out in my mind is that daddy Shrub said whoever leaked the information about Wilson’s wife was an “insidious traitor.”
Does anyone know where he said this or when? Update: Oh okay. He said it in 1999. But it still applies — to Karl Rove and the Cheney gang in this case:
“I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the names of our [intelligence] sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors.”

Have I Promised You Some Video Footage In The Last Two Months?

Leave a reply

This is just a note to anyone (I know there are at least 3 of you) that I have promised a reel of footage to over the last few months. If you haven’t received it in the mail yet, I have “forgotten,” and it’s not coming.
Please email me again and I’ll put it in the kitty for next weekend. I’m trying to catch up on everything, and I’m sure that I’ve dropped the ball on a thing or two (or three). So please, feel free to drop me a line and remind me.
In general, if I tell you I’ll send you something in a week or two, and it’s not there after two weeks, it’s not coming. Even if I am just about to send it, you’re never bothering me too much sending me an email reminder. I know a lot of you are working on projects that I heartily support, and I’m happy to contribute footage to them. It’s really the whole reason I started this archive!
So thanks! (And sorry if you’re one of those people still waiting for footage!)

Thanks For The Video Timecode Advice

Hey gang. Thanks for all the great advice regarding this post.
I ended up buying an Academic version of Final Cut Pro. (I am, after all, a graduate student 🙂
I could use links to any good tutorials anyone might know of. I’m just trying to do really simple stuff: edit clips, over dub music, stuff like that.
Thanks again everybody. There doesn’t seem to be anything you guys can’t fill me in on!

New Searchable Database Charts Bush/Cheney Lies

Leave a reply

This just in from a friend of mine:

As the September 11th Commission grills President Bush and Vice President Cheney about their contradictory statements today, we wanted to alert you to a powerful new tool to help journalists, activists and the public compare the Bush administration’s claims against well-documented facts.
The Center for American Progress today launched a comprehensive

Claim vs. Fact database that documents statements from conservatives like President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Members of Congress and Fox News personalities, and compares those statements to the facts.
Each fact is sourced, and in many cases includes a web link directly to that source.

I’ve had last week’s Daily Show since last weekend, but haven’t had time to link to the clips. (Doh!)
They’re all dated accordingly in My Archive.
There’s also an interview with Arianna Huffington in there…
Sorry guys. I’m off in music/gradschool land and the time really flies.
(More details on this soon 🙂
