If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I am most sincerely flattered that Moveon unveiled VotePoke.org as a clone of the voter registration verification system we created before the 2006 election at MyDem.com.

Our system was a big success and nearly 20,000 voters used it despite little publicity.

If you read carefully enough, you'll discover Moveon even plagiarized our exact language: "Are you registered to vote? Are you sure?"

Of course Moveon raises million$$ each year and we raise ... ten$$. But who's counting?

Still it would have been nice if Moveon had credited us with showing them how to do it, or sent a personal note of thanks. Just sayin'.

I need someone to teach me a little on navigating this site and the administrator to change my county personal info. When I joined, the site automatically entered Catawba as my county of residence, but that is wrong. I lve in Lincoln county. The district is correct on my profile, as is everything else. The COUNTY is incorrect. How do I get it changed?

Petition: Tell your Representatives to Stop Bush's Warrantless Wiretapping! 

By a 73%-22% margin, Americans overwhelmingly oppose George Bush's efforts to wiretap Americans' phone calls and emails without a search warrant, according to a Democrats.com telephone poll of 1,006 adults conducted from August 8-12, 2007 by ICR.

Note: This poll inaugurates Impeach.TV, a new blog on impeachment strategy edited by Bob Fertik. For recent impeachment analysis, click here.

The commutation of Scooter Libby's prison sentence backfired politically on Bush and Cheney and greatly increased support for impeachment, according to a Democrats.com telephone poll of 1,014 adults conducted by ICR.

Before the commutation on July 2, Americans 34% of Americans supported impeachment hearings for Bush, while 55% opposed. After the commutation, support increased to 43% and opposition dropped to 50% - a net increase in 14% for impeachment hearings.

John Amato of CrooksAndLiars has the video of Keith Olbermann's Special Comment in which he fact-checks Bush's bogus SOTU claims about thwarted terrorists plots. And guess whose work Olbermann found most persuasive? Our very own David Swanson! Here is David's article - you go, David!!!

I am indebted to David Swanson, press secretary for Dennis Kucinich's 2004 Presidential campaign, who has blogged about the dubious 96 words in Mr. Bush's address this year and who has concluded that of the four counter-terror claims the President made, he went 0 for 4.
