This weekend I was with a delegation of about 12 who went up to Burlington, VT from New Jersey to see Howard Dean's official announcement speech. We spent the entire weekend up in Manchester, NH, going door to door and helping out the New Hampshire effort. I had an amazing weekend, bonding with my fellow New Jerseyians and bringing the Dean message to the people of Manchester. I was impressed with the Meet The Press appearance, but the Declaration Speech was amazing and full of passion. It was this sort of passion that first attracted me to the Dean campaign, and Monday really got me fired up. I was fortunate enough to get a moment of face-to-face time with Howard as he was leaving the stage. I told him about our weekend campaign and gave him a flyer that I made with my own money, that I have been passing out at various music festivals that I've been to in the past month (Bonnaroo in Tennesse, & The Adirondak Music Festival in New York). Dean seemed really thrilled with my efforts, and that expression of praise from him just fuels my efforts... next time I'll get 5000 flyers printed. My NJ delegation was also lucky enough to get interviewed by VPR (NPR) and by ABC World News Tonight, and although I didn't get to see the program, I am told that the "Dean Machine," which was a van decorated by 4 members of our delegation, got on the evening news along with some short sound bites that we gave. All in all it was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to go back for the acceptance speech of the nonination.

ACTUALLY THERE IS ONLY ONE SECTION OF HILLIARY'S BOOK THAT INTERESTS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC UNFORTUNATELY THE PART REGARDING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL FOLLOWING THE MONICA LEWINSKY SCANDAL THAT IS SAD THE FACT REMAINS WE AMERICANS (I HAVE TO EXCLUDE MYSELF BECAUSE I REALLY DONT CARE) WANT THE LOW DOWN ON HER MARRIAGE AND IT IS REALLY ABOUT POPULARITY AS FAR AS INTEREST IN A CANDIDATE IF YOUR OUT THERE IN THE FOREFRONT AND REVEAL YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN PUBLIC PEOPLE LOVE IT

How can Hillary Clinton's book be already on the Amazon top 9. Moreover, how can her "decision" to NOT run for president in 2008 make the headlines of all the national papers?

Where are the heads of the American people, with one million things to talk about, we still go fishing for interesting news.

I blame the overall culture that we've created towards news. Even in the world of 24 hour news channels, what do we get? The same news over and over every 20 mins. We interview people on television for a set amount of time, and just when the interviewER and the interviewEE are finally getting to the crux of their conflict and argument, oops... time to move on to Bob's weather, or... Now lets find out what happened in sports today. Somehow the greater issue of actually discussing WHY some person was given the airtime to speak their cause, we limit them to five preselected answers in a one minute, thirty second block.

What is important is getting answers... yet America remains satisfied when members of our government walk out on press conferences, and ban those who ask the tough questions from ever coming back to the white house/pentagon/wherever. We need to demand more of our elected officials, and we need to demand better of our newspeople. Ask the tough questions, and make sure you get your answers. For reference for how to do this, See Ralph Nader.

Or... let it all pass below your radar.

Just some recent things I'd like to highlight, First off... Read the Vonnegut... The Howard Dean Links have some links with real media video, the video of the SF Meetup speech is great! Howard Dean is going to be on Good Morning America this morning on ABC. To anyone into the music community, Phish Tickets go on sale this saturday the 17th... cursed Ticketmaster :)

Also don't forget the Science News Page http://mcmanzi.tripod.com/id263.htm

I was very impressed with Tim Robbins statement He really makes sense and if people would stop and look at the hippocracy of some of their beliefs but unfortunately most do not recognize it

The events in Oakland today create a frightening harbinger of the future of protests in America. While I am sure that the protestors were in some way instigating, the decision for the Oakland police to open fire was wrong. My fear is that this event will lead to more like it, pitting the people against the police. Growing up with a best friend who's father was a cop, I've always felt that the police were on my side. Even at protests, I knew that the officers were present to keep the peace and to stop those who instigate violence and break the law. Today in Oakland, the police decided to use violence against the people... while there are conflicting reports of some saying that protestors were throwing rocks... others said that the longshoremen were instigating the protestors... either way, the police used what will be deemed UNNECCESSARY FORCE by peace groups around the world.

I hope that other police forces will not take example from Oakland... Hold your Fire! Hold Your Fire!

The funny this is that Michael Moore DOES have the majority on his side... I thought that Susan Sarandon's peace sign was crass at best, and Barbara Streisand took the stage and said nothing. If anything those two are MORE outspoken about peace than Michael Moore.

Moving on to Other News, I hope more people take the time to leave a comment here, this is everyone's newsgroup (not just marianne's and mine). Also make sure everyone you know reads the "A WarMonger Explains War to a Peacenik" piece on today's publish of the webapage... its very funny and does force the issue a little further. Bring that message to any WARMONGER that you know and try and engage in a discourse over the war in Iraq with them. I'd like to take the same sentiments to Bush and see what his response would be... but alas, our American Media doesn't ask any of the questions people want answered.

I do not believe that We take the necessary precautions to stay alive They win if we allow ourselves to make it easy for them to destroy human life To congregate where they have the opportunity to wipe out large masses at one time In this day and age its a sacrific we need to make until we are given the ok and the terrorist alert is lowered We are so used to our freedoms that we refuse to believe that some of our freedom has been taken away and we have to accept that for now we are at WAR by the way I think Michael Moore went a little overboard with his message at the Oscars There are ways to get your point across without spewing such disrespect naturally he got some "geers" If he had done it and chose his words more carefully I am sure he would have had the majority on his side

Then the terrorists have truely won... :-P

I think we need to create an emergency communications plan and establish a meeting place in the event we are told to evacuate and be prepared for a code RED alert level and above all now we should avoid all public gathering places

Americans always supports its troops, unless something like My-Lie happens in Iraq, and lets face it in Vietnam no one was fighting to liberate anything. It was a war with out a war-plan.

I do not worry about American troops in Iraq, our weapons are so advanced and our abilities are also more attuned, American troops should have no problem overtaking Iraq. The question is, will Saddam use chemical weapons? likely. As to Saddam being eliminated quickly, I doubt it. While America will be able to take Iraq, those who oppose will live to fight another day... This is Jihad, we've become the holy purpose to eliminate. Revenge for the Iraqi's and Islam at large will most likely come on American soil. I hope that our "Homeland Security" can stop the first attempt and make a big media play-up of the event to deter and futher action... but I do not discount the cunning of a terrorist network. The minute American troops walk into Iraq is the moment we put ourself on the list of a hundred more terrorist groups.

Do you think Tom Ridge can stop them all?

I agree with you about not wanting war but if a decision is made like it or not and a war begins your energy must shift from protesting the war to supporting the troops We cannot let another Vietnam happen where the morale of our troops were damaged due to protests and accusations and judgements made against soldiers. Not one of us can really say how we would react when faced with the dangers of war not having been exposed to it. I too worry about the consequences of the US starting a war I think we have to protect ourselves as best we can No one knows for sure why Bush chose this route we can only speculate as to why We can only pray that Saddam is eliminated quickly and the casualties are small. It is a fact that most countries want Saddam out but not everyone is willing to go to war to do it

So here it is everyone, the Mitch Manzella Forum. I will be posting here from time to time, and I welcome any and all input from anyone who visits this site.

I must say that last night's speech was one of the better speeches that Bush has been able to deliver. I was only able to listen to the speech, and have yet to go over to C-span.org to watch the video... but as heard, it sounded like he read-over his lines a lot before going on stage.

At first I felt very anxious... wishing he'd get past the whole BS and get to the -- Are We Starting A War or What --

The "Coalition of the Willing" statement has bothered me almost as much as last years reference of all enemies as "evil do-ers"

This Willing team is what? 2, 3 countries? All of whom were pretty much under US duress. It bothers me so much that public outcry cannot get to the MAINSTREAM public forum.... TV. Its fairly obvious to me, that most of the educated community online has a much better understanding of the FACTS... and even though many of them still support war, I can respect their opinion because they at least have the knowledge of things like Cheney's Haliburton contracts, and the Bush / Bin-Laden Family Ties. However, if the real FACTS were reported to the public at large (as they are in other countries) I think the public opinion of America would be largely Anti-Bush. We've seen the Labour Party turn on Blair.... we've even seen the Bush Administration try to blame the UN 2nd resolution idea on Blair, once it was clear that it would not pass in the Security Council. Yet any Bush backlash can only come from blogs, liberal radio, and "Alternative" news sites... This is probably due to the fact that the Bush 1st Cousins own Fox News... but that only takes care of one major media source. Wouldn't it be great to see the same sort of anger and backtalk that we all see online --- on TV.... I dream, I dream.

Getting Back to the speech.... FOR THE LOVE OF OIL.... DON'T BURN YOUR OIL...... so America can use it :wink:

As if a week's worth of Freedom Fries, and Freedom Dressing wasn't enough... Bush tries to embarress the American name. I keep telling myself I won't let him... I won't let him take away the American pride that I have... the love of our system -- Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Jay, Madison, Jefferson.... all of their dreams for America are being destroyed by Bush everyday.

Ack... I'm tired... so let me give a final thought so people can try and tear me apart. Congress only gave the ok to use force CONDITIONAL upon a UN approval. If Bush -- STARTS A WAR -- by invading another nation, he will tear down any legitimacy of America, he will destroy the United Nations rendering it useless, and most importantly he will create an entire new generation of terrorists around the world.... that we will have to deal with for the rest of our lives... but what does he care.

I want Saddam removed from power, but starting an open war will forever doom America to be the "bad guys" that started it all (WW3 ??, possibly)

Yours
