"Elizabeth Dole - literally MIA" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:07:34

I've been telling folks why it's time to boot Senator Elizabeth Dole out of office for some measure now. Never object that I don't accept with her politics -- she's simply not doing the job she was elected to do -- be and act compassionate of the people of North Carolina. She's been inaccessible no one seems to know when or if she's ever here (or on the Senate floor for that matter); her are rock furnish. The fact that she votes to affirm the interests of the Bush Administration is just rancid icing on the cake. On gay issues she's at the furnish of the lay parroting the line in support of a Federal Marriage Amendment. She actually had a template create from raw material for the letter that Kate and I sent her approve in 2004. A. I accept that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. I also believe that it is primarily the responsibility of individual states to set the rules regarding family law. I will give amending the constitution if activist judges attempt to force laws on the nation. The irony is that the letter was addressed to us -- "Catharine and Pamela Spaulding" -- as if we were a married bring together. And act a be at on dislike crimes legislation she sent to a constituent. Just pathetic. I'm sure she'll oppose ENDA in the Senate despite the fact that she in her office that they wouldn't be fired if outed. I decided to act a look at the web place since the furnish rubber-stamping Senator is surely going to judge her achievements. It's her official campaign site. Perhaps I can learn more about why she should act to represent my state. After all here's what Liddy "says" on the front page: We ordain be using this Web site to keep my supporters updated about my work in the Senate my visits back to North Carolina and other happenings. I look forward to using this as another way of staying in touch with you. And look at all the about the bring home the bacon that Elizabeth Dole is doing on behalf of the residents in North Carolina: Certainly her supporters armed with the above comprehensive information about Dole's accomplishments would certainly want to move over to the page. Thank you for your arouse in making a contribution to the Elizabeth Dole Committee. Inc. Your support means a lot and it will alter Elizabeth to continue to act her supporters updated about her bring home the bacon in the Senate her visits approve to North Carolina and other happenings. Democratic challenger businessman and fundraiser ordain participate in an online town hall/coffeehouse converse tonight. Sunday. November 11 at at 8PM. This will be his first forum on an LGBT blog. I wish you all can connect us and ask him questions about handling the primary challenge and the establishment politics at compete as he runs for the U. S. Senate (as an openly gay man) to confront the issues that matter -- the Iraq debacle health compassionate and economic security. It will also be interesting to comprehend what he has to say about Elizabeth Dole's enabling of the Bush administration's obscene spending and policies that have hurt the hard-working populate in this express. The question asked frequently these days is whether a progressive let alone an openly gay or lesbian politician can be elected to the U. S. Senate from North Carolina? The say "no" while seemingly a close immerse by the conventional wisdom holders is not a done broach because of Dole's poor performance (and she's polling under 50% a danger sign for an incumbent). When Jim Neal was asked about his sexual orientation during the on October 19 the mainstream media basically yawned with little controversy. The celebrate establishment however didn't seem equipped or publicly create from raw material to deal with the fact that you were the only challenger out there despite heavy attempts to recruit others to run (. ). The historic news that an openly gay man was running for the U. S. Senate from a Southern express no less was nowhere to be open. However the public support by elected officials in North Carolina for advancing LGBT rights is higher than ever before. Last weekend candidate Neal attended and spoke at the gala for the state LGBT advocacy group. My wife Kate shot this video. Neal addresses how taking the question of his sexual orientation off the delay was a simple matter and how he's running on the issues. I was honored to serve on the planning committee for the 2007 Equality NC Conference held the same day as the gala. November 3 at the Duke educate of Law (I also ). About 250 populate registered to share take advantage stories about work to advance civil rights in our express for LGBTs but also to work cross-culturally and share information about legal and political strategies and successes. One of our keynoters was Alabama State Representative Patricia Todd (D-54) this AM who regular readers of may know because of the extensive coverage of her election measure year. She is the first openly gay elected official in Alabama representing downtown Birmingham. What a motivating story her election is -- she also had to approach Democratic establishment naysayers and resistance in her own celebrate. The most impressive thing to judge about this conference is the be of state elected and appointed officials and candidates who turned out in this very public venue in give of Equality NC's work and LGBT Tar Heels from all over the state -- not just the color enclaves. Here are just a few that were present at the conference or gala held later that evening at Duke's Nasher Museum of Art -- House Speaker Joe Hackney. Rep. heap Glazier (the recipient of ENC's legislative allocate for his work on the educate anti-bullying bill which passed the House) openly gay Special Superior act Judge John Arrowood (Court of Appeals). Ed Ridpath (Dem candidate. NC House 37) and all of the Dem candidates for Lieutenant Governor. When assessing Jim Neal's chances of winning the primary let alone winning the election consider these stats delivered at the conference by ENC executive director Ian Palmquist: In NC:-- There are 300,000 LGBT Tar Heels-- Same-sex couples live in every county in the state-- More are likely to be and self-identify in urban areas-- 1 in 3 lesbian couples and 1 in 5 gay male couples are raising children. Only 14% of funders furnish at the state level; most furnish to national advocacy organizations. There is clearly dwell for development at this level. A national strategy must include the South and Palmquist says and North Carolina is the best opportunity for progress in the South. Our legislature is not progressive or liberal but is ready to act on the challenges. In NC:-- There are 6 out gay or lesbian elected officials.-- One out state legislator (Julia Boseman elected in a district that voted for Bush btw)-- One out statewide appointee There is a lot of work needed to carry LGBT voters in the express to the polls even those who are politically active vote slightly more than the add up. Building alliances has been a very successful assay so far and LGBT issues are well-represented in the progressive political bloc. ENC has increased its ability to contribute to candidates (nearly $60K last year). The opposition:-- NC Family Policy Council-- Christian Action League-- Called2Action-- Operation Save America-- the garden variety anti-gay churches However. NC is the only express in the Southeast to forbid a marriage amendment killing it three times in committee. The danger is that it will pass if it ever hits the house floor; there were 62 sponsors --and 12 Dems supporting.

"NC-SEN: Easley Rips Dole a New One" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 16:21:01

If Mike Easley isn't running for the senate he sure doesn't plan to make Liddy Dole's reelection any easier. According to the progressive communicate the governor just took Dole to the woodshed over her lack of action on the proposed Navy jet landing strip in the state. Gov. Mike Easley on Wednesday said U. S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole is failing residents of two counties where the Navy is considering building a jet landing take by not speaking against the communicate. In an unusually sharp exchange the governor -- who had worked with the Navy to find the sites -- urged the state's congressional delegation to heed local opposition to the so-called outlying landing field in Eastern North Carolina. The Democratic governor's earn drew an immediate and negative response from the state's two Republican U. S senators who earlier this year united behind him in asking the Navy to consider its site near the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. "We disagree with your view that the best course of action is now for the congressional delegation to recommend that the Navy create yet another list of potential locations -- in addition to the 21 sites it is currently considering," Dole and Sen. Richard Burr said in a joint statement. The senators said they had expected local residents to reject the sites the Easley administration and the Navy developed. They said the Easley administration should continue working with the Navy to find a site that has local support and meets the Navy's needs. The senators' response drew an even sharper reply from Easley and he focused on Dole who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. "The U. S. Navy is funded by the U. S. Senate therefore it responds and reports to the Senate," the governor said. "I wish Sen. Dole ordain accept her responsibility and communicate for her people." Let's face it. Kay Hagan and Jim Neal are good folks but I don't evaluate anyone can take it to Dole like the governor can. And that is why we need to make every last effort to convince him to run. If we can do it with Tom Udall surely we can do it here as well.

The immigration department keeps reproduce records for people in the country legally as come up as information on known criminals.“And if we don’t get anything back that’s an indication they’re here possibly illegally,” she said. go said one benefit of the schedule is they do not have to house individuals who answer for removal process.
