Rest In Peace Mr. Kam Kuwata
Posted 4/11/11 by Adan Acevedo
Mr. Kam Kuwata was one of the nation’s, and California’s, finest political minds. He helped in varying degrees on a number of campaign and was known for his kindness and charm. Tonight, I ask that you take a moment of silence for Mr. Kuwata and for all those who have devoted their lives to the betterment of American democracy.

Abort, Retry, Fail? No, Shutdown

Let’s party like it’s 1995, everyone!
Tonight, President Obama is meeting with John Boehner to figure out a compromise which will keep the government open through the end of the week. It’s no big deal if the Tea Party-controlled GOP decides to close down the government – that just means 800,000 people go unpaid, tax refunds won’t get processed, and it doesn’t matter, because that big, Obama-inflated government doesn’t do anything except STEAL FROM MY MEDICARE!!!
But, really, the main issue with the government shutdown is the refusal to actually act on the budgetary crises which America faces. Both Republicans and Democrats are responsible, but the lack of support for job-creating legislation such as healthcare reform and the stimulus, and the GOP’s insistence on pursuing a nothing-but-tax-cuts policy (aside from the billions they gave to America’s wealthiest citizens a few months ago, they pushed the Democrats to massively reduce the effectiveness of the stimulus by including tax cuts which amounted to a few hundred dollars per family), allows us Democrats to articulate a fair argument of responsibility.

President Obama formally began his 2012 campaign today! If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the video he sent out (linked below) – it really reminds us why we care about President Obama and the Democratic Party. The Dems can’t wait to get started and just like last time, we know that YES WE CAN!
The 2012 campaign is just getting started — and it will belong to us. With our ideas, our inspiration, and our hard work, we can continue to build a better America together.
