POLITICAL OPINION
A few months ago, I wrote my State House Rep Massachusetts District 6 Representative John Tierney. I clearly and without any doubt as to my opinion told him that if he continued to support the current version of the Health care bill in the House, I would not only NOT vote for him, but would actively campaign for the person who ran against him. I checked the NO box when it asked if I wanted a reply back.
A few days later I received a “thank you for your support” email and a link to donate to his re-election campaign.
If I donate anything, it's going to be a pair of glasses.
The DNC has a link on their website that allows you to voice your opinion on health care and I used this link to voice my opposition to the Bill. The DNC's website is awesome. It is as American looking as a website could look.
Then there is the RNC website – they could use a little help here. In case the RNC was sleeping and missed it over the last eight years, they've tripped down a few stairs and the result has been a slightly (understatement of the decade) damaged reputation. Having a website that screams communist RED everywhere and very little blue isn't the best sight for one to see when traveling to RNC.org. They need to look into a fix for those overly RED pages.
I could change it for them - wouldn't cost NEARLY 18 million dollars – and it would look 100% better than it does today. Heck, I'd do it for free – and I am certain, others would donate some technical design skills for free too.
I'm using the 18 million dollar figure because that's what the Recovery Accountability and TRANSPARANCY board got to have recovery.org redesigned. Mr. Earl E. Devaney – chairman of the RAT-B thought that was a major milestone!! I guess it has been, given the numbers put up on the website so far have included false information on numbers of jobs created and even Congressional Districts that don't exist.
Tax payer dollars are always so well spent.
But, I digress...
The DNC took a major hit this week and with it – I must chuckle. Why? Because, the Republicans had absolutely nothing to do with it ... (They're still trying to get their heads out of their a** in most cases and looking dumbfounded as they struggle to figure out where they went wrong.

The DNC took a hit because of Sarah Palin. A conservative female who scares the beejesus out of the Democratic party, took the DNC's first major fund raiser right out from underneath them. All because she wrote a BOOK! Palin is not even playing the blame game in the book – but the DNC decided she's just too dangerous to ignore. (Their word, not mine.)
How do I know? Because they need glasses too. Like Tierney, they assume that because I went to the DNC website to COMPLAIN, I'm supporting them. They sent me an email a few hours ago.
Mitch Stewart at Democrats.org wrote ME an email titled:
SARAH PALIN
It said:
Maryann --
Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn.
It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.
Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform.
As we approach the final sprint on health reform, we can't afford more deception and delay. We need to be ready for anything -- and have the resources to respond with ads, events, and calls to Congress when the attacks come.
So we're setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies. Please chip in $5 or more to help reach our goal.
Earlier this month, Palin publicly said that she hopes health reform will be "dead on arrival." And since then, she's been working fiercely toward that goal.
On Tuesday, Palin went on Rush Limbaugh's radio show where she outrageously -- and falsely -- suggested that Americans could "face jail time as punishment" if they don't buy insurance.
Palin has many more interviews scheduled on Hannity and other conservative shows in the next few weeks, with more platforms to go after the President. As soon as she does, the rest of our opponents will likely parrot those attacks.
We need to be prepared. And we're counting on you help. Can you chip in $5 or more?

I guess they don't classify me as a partisan extremist - Oh, well.
Prepared for what Mitch? Is she like the Anti-Christ or something? I thought your party said she was STUPID and now she's DANGEROUS? Please explain.
If Democrats are this afraid of Sarah Palin now, and they're willing to raise $500,000 to fight off a person who isn't even IN office – it says a lot about the nervousness of their party.
Republicans should learn from this. Even if I personally hope Palin does not run on a ticket in 2012, I'm definitely happy to see she is sucking the first fund raiser for the DNC up.
The DNC is nervous. The American people are not happy that their newly elected majority party isn't listening to them and it's coming back to bite. If they have to raise $500,000 every time a conservative female publishes a book and goes on tour to promote it... than Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, Elisabeth Hasselbeck – ladies - get the pen to the paper! You've got jobs to do!
Let the conservative females make their way onto the political stage and let the RNC get to work on making the website better. It's an ONLINE world now and one of the reasons you lost last time was because you under-estimated the power of the web.
As for emailing me “Mitch,” you and Tierney can get a “two for one” appointment at the local optometrist here in Beantown. I am not a DNC party supporter, Mitch. I'm pretty sure that was VERY clear in my emails. I also checked “no solicitation” on your web site when I sent your party an email. Asking me for 5 bucks ... well, that falls under the definition of “solicitation.”
GOOOOOOOOOOOO SARAH!
