Scientists react to the assault on reason


Scientists and Engineers for America

http://www.sefora.org/

Don't know much about this organization but it's worth checking out.  All those involved in education in general and science in particular need to lead the way.  Now is the wrong time to be dragged back into the "Dark Ages" by Republican Right-Wingers (their party base). 

Looking forward to the new Al Gore book too!

Gen Frank delivers KNOCK OUT BLOW in tonight's candidate forum with Blunt backing opponent Dwight Scharnhorst


Even though she was already way ahead on points and coasting towards victory, tonight's candidate forum ended with a KNOCK OUT punch by Genevieve Frank.   After Dwight boasted that the recent Medicaid cuts have made the health care system in Missouri somehow healthier, Gen reminded her out-of-touch opponent of the reality that the cuts have hurt real people, including many in the 93rd, and that any changes that adversely affect the health of Missourians can hardly be called "healthy!"  The crowd burst into applause as Genevieve concluded.  For all of us there, it made us remember why we're DEMOCRATS!  Thanks again Gen!  Story Continued »

Holiday time, time for giving, time for introspection


Hey, please, take a minute and see if there's anything you can give to either of our 2 Democrats running in special elections this season.  Mike Frame is out in the 105th, in the Franklin/Jefferson County area, Selby's old seat.  Genevieve Frank is running in the 93rd, essentially Fenton, Valley Park, into the Ballwin/Manchester area; it’s Jodi Stefanick's old seat. Gen's competition is Stefanick's old campaign treasurer and republican foot soldier, Dwight Scharnhorst.  So, I would ask each of you to look inside yourselves and see if there's anything you can give either of these two great candidates...time for canvassing (thought to the highest quality contact), phone time, office time, money, supplies, food, moral support, etc.  How 'bout it?  There's lots of meetings, discussions, etc., about electing Democrats, but it takes more than talk, it takes sacrifice.  What can you give up?  Now's our chance to do something big, to extend the recent 94th victory south all the way to Franklin County.  What can you bring these two?  Thanks in advance, Gale

Jimmy Carter's Editorial finally makes the Post


Here's a link to President Carter's comments in the Post-Dispatch.  His new book, Our Endangered Values, America's Moral Crisis, makes great reading.  Mr. Carter is able to provide insights from his perspective as an ex-President as well as an evangelical Christian.  Fired Up should consider putting a link to the book on the left margin with the other great reads there too!  Gale

Buy Blue, just not in my neighborhood


The other day, my wife, also Pres of a local township democratic club, was canvassing for the Democratic candidate in a neighboring legislative district.  As many of you know, canvassing means walking the streets in the voting area, bringing the message door to door.  It requires some physical endurance as well as some intestinal fortitude.   While on one of her many “walks,” she noticed a prominent Kirkwood Chevrolet dealer displaying 4 large republican signs on their lot.  She and my daughter stopped in and talked it over with local management.  My wife pointed out to folks there that union laborers made those cars and they should consider taking the signs down or adding comparable Democratic signs.  They took the republican signs down.  An apparent victory?...well there’s more to this story.
