some of today's [my] headlines
Democracy in Action.
Dear MoveOn Member,
Yesterday, President Bush's effort to write divisiveness and hate into the Constitution went down in flames. Republicans needed 67 votes in the Senate to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment, but they got only 48 on yesterday's vote - not even a simple majority. It's a huge victory.
I can't believe this even went to a vote, but I'm glad it did not pass.
Stop the Discrimination.
Gov. Schwarzenegger is taking a phone poll to assess support for SB 1160, the new Calif. legislation that would grant driver's licenses to undocumented residents. We need to flood the Governor's phone with as many calls as possible!
Please call 1-916-445-2841
Press #5 for "Hot Issues."
Press #2 for Drivers License (for Undocumented) bill
Press #1 to support the Drivers License bill (SB 1160)
**Remember a lot of people are calling this number. If you get a busy signal please call back or try and call over the weekend. It is essential that your voice be heard.
If you live in California, please help out and do this. It is not right to refuse a drivers license to people who are residents and already working here, helping the economy. Some people complain about immigrants stealing jobs, but come on honestly those "immigrants" save everybody from the awful jobs nobody wants. And wouldn't it be safer for them to actually go through the procedure instead of driving without a license?
Kobe Bryant Re-Signs With L.A. Lakers
By JOHN NADEL, AP Sports Writer
Bryant, who said repeatedly this past season he wanted to be a "Laker for life," is poised to fulfill that declaration. His contract will be worth more than $136.4 million over seven years.
That makes me sick. Do you have any idea what good that kind of money can do in a third world country?
The Indie Music Scene
Over the course of today and yesterday I read this book.
I loved it. People think today's musicians have nothing important to say, well this book proves them all wrong. The poetry in this book is so insightful and inspiring.
