John Kerry and his wife were in Ohio on Saturday, Sylvania, Toledo, and Perrysburg. They left Sunday morning, to meet up with President Clinton. We had a reception for them Saturday night, and we had an awesome time.

Dems don't even bother to campaign in Texas, they don't try either lol. Your vote probably won't matter. Mine didn't either  I vote for other reasons, plus there are other very important offices on the ballot. And it's always counted in the popular vote...yes meaningless I know

It is your right whether to vote or not. I am not trying to be rude, but your logic is flawed. Every vote count!! What if all of us decide not to vote, because we believe that Romney is going to win? If President Obama lose, all of us who voted can at least say that we tried.

Trust me, I see so many cars with Romney stickers on the back. They got racist pastors at churches persuading these slow black folks out here to vote for Romney, I ain't gonna say no names.
But I believe they count it by state and not each person so in other words the state of Texas = 70% bigotry, 20% uncle tom blacks and 10% intelligent African-Americans, my vote fits into the 10% that won't win.

I trust you I know how it is in Texas  . I have relatives there, I was in Texas for two weeks in July. Hang in there, I know about some pastors telling their congregations to vote for Romney. Hang in there, you are okay in my book

If you are in California, please vote YES on 37. Huge amounts of money has been going to defeat this measure which would
put labels upon all GMOs (genetically modified organisms), from Monsanto
and others. Who have been fighting this tooth and nail. If they're so
good, why wouldn't they want labels to direct people to their product?
None of the ads mention Monsanto or GMOs or the fact that a very recent
study showed lab mic blowing up to twice their size with cancerous
growths. Or that most of the world has kicked Monsanto OUT. Thank you.
Edit: And be careful...Hershey's is working against Prop 37. Perhaps they use high-fructose corn sweetener from GMO corn?
I should have also qualified: those with "concern" will be immediately put on Ignore. Thank you for your concern.
Via Chuck Cirino:
YES on Proposition 37 - We have a right to know what's in our food.
The donors below are the OPPONENTS to Proposition 37 and listed is how
much money they've spent on trying to kill it. This list alone should
make up your mind on how to vote. YES.
Monsanto - $7,100,500
DuPont - $4,900,000
Pepsi - $2,145,400
Bayer - $2,000,000
Dow - $2,000,000
BASF - $2,000,000
Syngenta - $2,000,000
Kraft Foods -
$1,950,000
Coca-Cola - $1,455,500
Nestle - $1,315,600
General Mills - $1,135,000
ConAgra - $1,077,000
Kellogg’s - $790,000
Smithfield - $684,000

Voters in Youngstown "bring their souls to the polls".
This is John Kasich and Mitt Romney's worst nightmare. The attempt
to stifle early voting in Ohio has brought even more out to vote today
as dozens of mostly African Americans "brought their souls to the polls"
after church today.
It was on my local news today, but unfortunately the video isn't available yet. Instead there's this article:
Dozens of people were patiently waiting outside
of the Mahoning County Board of Elections in Youngstown, ready to do
vote early in this election.
"I tell you what, to look at this early voting I'm like wow, this is
great," said NFL Hall of Famer Franco Harris. "So, I'm hoping that
more states would get it, I mean I'm thinking why doesn't Pennsylvania
have it?"
<snip>
"It's almost like the 60's you know, coming together and just being
able to pray," said Pastor Dwayne Heard of the Elizabeth Missionary
Baptist Church on the East Side of Youngstown. "The power of our
communities are our churches, there is power in the church, more than
just Sunday morning power!"
Even if they'd already cast their ballots, some people came just to sing and pray, bringing their souls to the polls.
"This country should want every person to participate and so that's
what we're about," Reverend Simon added. "It's not about who you vote
for, it's about having the right that people fought for, suffered for,
bled and died for, to vote."

Letter to a Non-Voter ...from Michael Moore
Sunday, November 4th, 2012
To my friend who is not voting on Tuesday:
I get it – and I don't blame you. You're fed up and you could care
less whether Tweedledee or Tweedledumber wins on Tuesday – because on
Wednesday, your life will be the same, unchanged, regardless who is
president. Your mortgage will still be underwater. You will still owe
$50,000 on your student loan. Your son will still be in Afghanistan.
Your daughter will still be working two jobs to make ends meet. And gas
will still be at $4.
Four years ago you gave in and voted – and you voted for Obama.
You wanted to believe he would go after the Wall Street crooks who
crashed the economy – but instead the banks that were "too big to fail"
four years ago are now even bigger and more dangerous. You thought
there'd be universal health care – but the new law only went so far
(with most of it not taking effect until 2014). You were tired of war
and homeland security measures that violated our civil liberties – but
we're still in Afghanistan, we're sending in drones to Pakistan and
basic constitutional rights to privacy and a fair trial have been
ignored. And you thought you'd have a middle-class, good-paying job like
your dad had – but you didn't know that Goldman Sachs was Obama's #1
private campaign donor in 2008, and well, he was beholden to corporate
America in more ways we cared to think about.
So, I get it why you've had it with all these politicians and
elections. In the end, it doesn't really seem to be our country any
more. It's run by those who can buy the most politicians to do their
bidding. Our schools are made a low priority and women are still having
to fight for just the basic human rights we thought they already had.
So, it's hard for me to ask you for this very personal favor. It's OK if you say "no," but I'm hoping you don't.
I cannot believe it is possible that, after a group of rich
plutocrats wrecked the economy, threw people out of work and stole our
future, we may actually hand the keys to our country over to...a rich
Republican plutocrat who made millions by throwing people out of work!
This is insane, and despite all the legitimate criticisms of Obama, he
is nothing like the tsunami of hate and corporate thievery that will
take place if Mitt Romney is president. As bad as it feels now, it will
only get worse. I need your help to stop this.
I can't promise you that your life will get better, easier under
Barack Obama. I do think he cares and I know for sure that if the other
guy is sitting in the Oval Office, I can guarantee you that not only
will your life not get better, it will get much, much worse. Don't take
my word for it. Just ask your parents what life was like before a
30-year pillage by the Republicans of the middle class. Your parents
bought a house and eventually owned it outright. They weren't in debt.
College was free. They bought a new car every 3 or 4 years. They took
vacations and were home for dinner by 5 or 6 PM. They had a savings
account in the bank. They didn't live in fear of not knowing if they'd
even have a job next year.
That's all gone. I don't know if we can get it back, but I do know
that Mr. Romney would love the chance to complete the final elimination
of the middle class and the American Dream.
He must be stopped. Take 20 minutes on Tuesday and go vote. If you
don't want to do it for your country, then do it for me! It's the only
favor I'll ever ask of you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I know that you care, and
care deeply, about your future and your kids' future. You have every
right to be cynical about all this. And you hold the power to stop the
bastards who plan on squeezing every last dime out of you that they can.
Take a stand. And make a statement to those who are hoping against hope
that you'll stay home on Tuesday. Your presence at the polls is what
they fear most.
Go scare the s**t out of them! For me.
Yours,
Michael Moore

@fivethirtyeight
Obama's win probability peaked at 87% on 10/4, last day before polls reflected Denver debate. Fell to 61% on 10/12. Now fully recovered.
@fivethirtyeight
Obama becoming a heavier favorite, in 538's view. Now 86% to win Electoral College. fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com
5 Nov 12
@fivethirtyeight
Obama unlikely to win by anything like his post-DNC margins. But Romney has no momentum, Obama's state polling is robust, and time is up.
