Oklahoma legislators introduced a bill yesterday that says "the life of each human being begins at conception." But state Sen. Constance Johnson, a Democrat, decided that the bill, SB 1433, didn't go far enough to protect unborn children.

Johnson added an amendment to the bill...that says life actually begins at ejaculation: “However, any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unbornlol child.”...

Yesterday, Pres. Obama appeared at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in NYC....and with singer Al Green in the audience, our President sang (yes, I said SANG) the opening line to Al Green's hit, "Let's Stay Together". Beside being incredibly intelligent, and a great President, physically fit, mentally sound, etc. ......our guy can SING! I should have posted the link, but the Today show featured the clip, if you go to their page on the web.
If I were him, I'd have chosen the job that gets accolades (singing) and ditched all the misery that goes with the current job he has!
Just a bit of lighting up here, all!

Not a huge Eastwood fan, but thought this commercial awesome. I;m sure youve heard about the controversy: some say it is a blatant political ad for Our President; others insist that it is just a feel good Ad for America. What is your take?

of the Republicans in your area and nationally (Cantor and Boehner) being kicked to the curb in 2012?

I don't think our Tea Party Governor will see a second term but we have 3 more nightmarish yrs to go.

I am truly hoping that people will see their best interests lie with our Pres.

And I am hoping that the OCCUPY movement which I am very supportive of will Occupy the voting booths and not just Occupy the streets.

Prtesident Obama's State Of the Union Address received a 91% approval rating from the American people. What a remarkable messge, what a remarkable president.

A federal appeals court in California has upheld a lower court’s ruling that Proposition 8, the state’s ban on gay marriage, is unconstitutional, writing that the law “serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”

In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit announced its long-awaited ruling that Prop 8, approved by voters in 2008, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Judge Stephen Reinhardt, in the court’s 128-page opinion, wrote that “although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently. There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted.” view link

I was saddened to hear that Senate Democrats capitualed to the demands of Republicans to pass a law that significantly weakens the rights of workers to unionize. I urge President Obama to veto this bill.

Friend --

I'm heading to Capitol Hill soon to deliver my third State of the Union address.

Before I go, I want to say thanks for everything you're doing.

Tonight, we set the tone for the year ahead. I'm going to lay out in concrete terms the path we need to take as a country if we want an economy that works for everyone and rewards hard work and responsibility.

I'm glad to know you'll be standing with me up there.

Barack

I have been away from the group for some time now, taking part in OCCUPY actions. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME why President Obama signed the NDAA into law? With this, the government can drag any of us off the street and detain us indefinitely. This needs to be REVERSED. This is no longer the land of the FREE. Our BILL of RIGHTS have been trampled on. Why would he do this????
