That nonprofit is called Organizing for Action, the latest incarnation of what was formerly the Obama campaign's Organizing for America effort, and the Missouri state chapter has become increasingly active in recent weeks, concentrated in St. Louis and Kansas City. “The main objective is to pressure legislators to let them know what their constituen…http://www.twitpic.com/cl1qmo

In a speech before Israeli students in Jerusalem, Mr Obama said a sovereign Palestinian state was the “only path for true security” in Israel. Palestinians had “a right to be a free people in their own land”, he said. Earlier in Ramallah, he urged Palestinians to drop their demand for a freeze in Israeli settlement building. Mr Obama's three-day visit to Israel and the West Bank is his first as president. Related [VIDEO]: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21888542http://www.twitpic.com/cda83o

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Welcome To The Battleground (Texas) http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/ Exciting things are happening in the Lone Star State! The Texas Democratic Party is thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Battleground Texas, a new organization that launches today. As you might have read, some of President Obama's top former staffers are behind this new organization. Battleground Texas will focus on grassroots mobilization that will make Texas a state that counts in local, state and national elections. Tune in to the Colbert Report tonight to watch Jeremy Bird speak more about Battleground Texas. There’s still a lot of work to be done before Texas is an official battleground. And the TDP is eager to continue that work along with Battleground Texas and other partners throughout the state. Just last weekend, Gov. Perry called a Blue Texas a “pipedream” and blathered that, “the University of Texas will change its colors to maroon and white before Texas goes purple, much less Blue.” If ignorance is bliss, he must be ecstatic! Gov. “Oops” seriously underestimates those of us who believe in a better future for ALL the people of our great state! We know that Texas can do better. We know that we can adequately fund our schools! We know that we don’t need to have millions of uninsured Texans. We know that we’re better than this. And we know that things are going to change – because we’re the ones who’re going to make the change! Get ready Democrats, we have a lot of work before us – but we also have the numbers and the momentum on our side! Here's to a Blue Blue Texas Future! Sincerely, Gilberto Hinojosahttp://www.twitpic.com/c756t5

He clearly wants to stop talking about deficits and debt and start talking about reviving the economy for people. His best line was a clear attempt to pivot in the right direction…http://www.twitpic.com/c3h4vw

For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone….No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that…http://www.twitpic.com/bxzgwz

More confused? More incapable of getting out of their own way? Watching America's political conservatives try to counter-maneuver opposite Barack Obama's re-inauguration over the course of the last week has been an incredible comedy – like watching the Three Stooges try to perform a liver transplant on roller skates. Let's review the basic timeline. First, Political Media, a conservative action group, decided to try to make an appeal to win the hearts and minds of Americans everywhere by declaring January 19th – previously known as Martin Luther Kin…http://www.twitpic.com/bxpz07
