8 IS HATE!!

I HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD OF THE LGBT AND FRIENDS OF THE LGBT WHO HAVE BEEN PROTESTING AND MARCHING AGAINST THE PASSAGE OF PROP 8! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prop_8  I WAS LISTENING TO THE RANDI RHODES SHOW, www.therandirhodesshow.com   AND SHE WAS RIGHT ON TARGET RE: THE MORMONS WHO HAVE BEEN THE KEY GROUP THAT SUPPORTED PROP 8. THE MORMONS AND OTHER CHURCHES ARE AFRAID THAT GAYS WILL TRY TO CONVERT CHILDREN, BUT WHO IS REALLY DOING THE CONVERTING? THE MORMONS GO DOOR TO DOOR TRYING TO RECRUIT AND NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING! I DON'T KNOW ANY LGBT PERSON WHO HAS EVER GONE DOOR TO DOOR TO RECRUIT. I WAS RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT UNTIL 1967 THAT ALL INTERRACIAL COUPLES IN ALL 50 STATES WERE ALLOWED TO WED. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia    CHECK OUT THIS GREAT COMMENT FROM KEITH OLBERMANN, AND LETS FIGHT PROP 8 IN A NATIONAL PROTEST THIS SATURDAY!!

CARNE ASADA IS NOT A CRIME!

LOS ANGELES IS TRYING TO GET RID OF THE TACO TRUCKS! CAN YOU IMAGINE - A WORKER ON A TACO TRUCK WILL SIT IN LA'S JAILS WHILE THE GANGSTERS STAY IN THE STREETS! PLEASE GO THE THE LINKED SITE AND SUPPORT LA TACO TRUCKS!!

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-tacos1-2008may01,0,4097615.story

Led by District 1 County Supervisor Gloria Molina, the L.A. Board of Supervisors has passed new restrictions that will effectively eliminate taco trucks from our streets. Under Supervisor Molina’s new rules, taco trucks will have to change location every hour, or face a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine and/or jail. Yes, jail. Taco Trucks are a special facet of Los Angeles, and something we don’t want to lose. Though this ordinance currently affects just unincorporated parts of L.A., that’s 65% of the County. And of course it opens up the doors for legislation closer to home too. Let’s send Gloria Molina and the L.A. Board of Supervisors a message that we cherish our local vendors and don’t want to see them move away. This new law needs to be repealed!  SIGN THE PETITION!

TONIGHT IS TACO TRUCK NIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - SAVE OUR TACOS!!!!

PRESIDENT WRIGHT?

NOTE TO THE MEDIA!  JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!! OBAMA IS!! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING PASTOR WRIGHT ON EVERY TV STATION AND THE MEDIA COVERING IT LIKE HE IS THE PRESIDENT. I ACTUALLY LIKED HIS SPEECHES AND AGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT HE SAYS. IN THREE DAYS HE HAS SPOKE ABOUT THE HARSH REALITIES OF THE USA INCLUDING A LOT OF TOPICS THAT ARE TABOO TO EUROCENTRIC AMERICANS - OR WHITE AMERICANS. I URGE YOU TO GO CHECK OUT HIS NAACP SPEECH IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD IT -- BUT PLEASE I BEG THE MEDIA TO STOP WITH THE 24/7 COVERAGE OF WRIGHT! WHAT DO THEY WANT OBAMA TO DO? SHOULD HE PUBLICLY LYNCH OR HANG OR STONE WRIGHT IN A PUBLIC SQUARE?  ANYWAY - CHECK OUT THE MAN WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT - HE HAS A LOT OF GOOD THINGS TO SAY!

BODY OF WAR

BRING THE TROOPS HOME!!!!!!!

Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine - wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week.

Body of War is Tomas' coming home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film is produced and directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro, and features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Body of War is a naked and honest portrayal of what it's like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man.
