This is just a small diary with a few words to help push some good candidates and some good ActBlue pages.

I have not been able to give anything for quite a while. I gave a small amount to two worthy ActBlue pages today.

First off, I gave to MyDD's Road to 60 ActBlue page.

They have a great list of candidates that are worthy to support.

Between now and the election, we'll be profiling and targeting several Senate races that themselves serve as the NRSC's firewall against our getting to 60 seats. They will include seats that the GOP simply should not lose and if they do, then you know 60 is within reach.

Our hope is, with your help, to turn longshots into competitive races and competitive races into top tier ones - and above all to make the Republicans spend money to defend and retain seats where they've never had to before. We are going to douse that firewall.

Second, I gave to Washington Woman's We The People ActBlue page.

The recently passing of, former President Gerald Ford who said, "Our Constitution Works, We The People Rule", reminds us that our government is of law, one that represents WE The People, and it does work.

Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln

One cannot look at the durable wisdom of our Constitution, and recall the deep commitment that unites our country, but one must think about the times that this same Constitution has come under attack.

Recently my one and only daughter, called and we were discussing a book her husband is writing on Ancient Egypt and some ideas he has of the utility of the pyramids.

She suggested that I should write a book about my life.... Well, put a stop to that in nothing flat.

Then turned the tables on her and told her that she should also write a book, after all she has been editing her husbands books, and even tried her hand at publishing once "Sunshine Publishing" which cost them a chunk of money and little results.

Gatekeeping (communication) involves the actions of persons or organizations, known as Gatekeepers, that manage or constrain the flow of knowledge and information . The internal decision making process of relaying or withholding information from the media to the masses. Gatekeeping occurs at all levels of the media structure - from a reporter deciding which sources are chosen to include in a story to editors deciding which stories are printed, or even covered. This theory first appeared in 1947, when social psychologist Kurt Lewin published his above theory. It is still one of the most important theories taught in mass communication and journalism today.

As 2006 ends and 2007 begins, each of us must not only make the traditional resolutions, but resolve that we have had enough (remember our cry during the election), that we are not going to take it lying down any longer.

Six long years end, as we begin a run of the last two years of the Bush administration. An administration rote with abuse, corruption and intimidation.

Most of the American people have set back and watched as Bush and his cohorts have did their best to tear up the Constitution, leaving it frayed and bruised. Set back and watched as Diebold has disenfranchised their vote. Set back as our elected Representatives in Congress have been corrupted, and intimidated into allowing this destruction of our Constitution.
