opinion is firmly on his side. Please show your support for Michael and Jim
Webb by attending this fundraising rally at Clarendon Ballroom. Just this
evening Gen. Wes Clark has also confirmed for this great event! There is a
special $500 Host reception at 5:30 if you can contribute that much. For

8. She said that Michael was
manipulating people's feelings!!!!

Gee...doesn't * do that daily? Let's push that FEAR button on people...and then there's the GREED button...and of course the Jesus button. Talk about manipulation of feelings.

Laura's pissed that Michael is actually asking people to EMPATHIZE...an unknown concept to the * regime.

11. What does Laura Bush stand for?
Nothing.

She has failed teachers, libraries and children.

Even Nancy Reagan stood for something: red clothes.

10. George Allen owns stock in maker of morning after pill.
George Allen owns stock in Barr Pharmaceuticals, the only American maker of the Plan B "morning after pill". He is aware they make this pill.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_after_pill

Morning after pills sometimes act post-fertilisation to prevent subsequent implantation of a blastocyst (embryo).

George Allen refuses to sell his stock.

Yet he has voted against embryonic stem cell research.

http://webbforsenate.com/press/release.php?id=68

The embryos used in ESCR have not been implanted.

George Allen the hypocrite.

13. Thank you so much for the info!
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 02:31 PM by elcondor
I too will be there (now!) You're awesome CarolNYC! :-)

Now, if I contributed, is that all I have to do? There's not tickets we have to pick up somewhere is there?

16. Aw, you're welcome....
I just passed on the info.

I'm so glad you'll be there....How lucky for you. You'll be in the presence of three true American heroes (even though Michael is Canadian, right?). Michael J. Fox has really been courageous through this whole thing. He's a tough one, that's for sure...as are Wes and Jim both.

As for tickets, I would guess not. They should have your name but I always like to bring the receipt from my contribution to things like this just in case...

Wish I could be there....I'll be anxiously waiting for a full report though. :)

17. I will be sure to report all the details!
I didn't print out a receipt this time, but I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Absolutely agree on Fox; I've admired him and Clark for awhile now for the work they do. It will be an honor to see them (and get to know Webb even more)! (I think Fox has dual citizenship, by the way, with the U.S. and Canada.)

14. Glad to see Clark getting to VA again
Especially to the DC/NoVA area. Last, iirc, he was mostly down in the redder, more rural areas. Which is probably where he's more effective in changing people's minds, but now it's all about GOTV.

I swear, tho. I sure don't know how he's finding the time. He'll be in TN for Ford, up in NY for a number of House candidates, and someothers that haven't been nailed down yet... the guy will living on an airplane for the next 7 days, I guess. Makes me tired just to think about it.
