Why Democrats Need You! A Call for Help From Vice President Joe Biden.

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, we have made good political progress towards the future but it could be quickly destroyed if we make a few wrong moves. Global warming has not been dealt with properly and in fact, those who helped to create global warming, British Petrolium and their investors, are laughing in our faces. They managed to slow if not halt the U.S. government from investigating the B.P. disaster, by blocking the granting of legal Subpoena power to the committee that will investigate the disaster!

Now they are sending one of the largest ships ever built into the Arctic in preparation for deep water drilling. When it comes to self interest, these characters wrote the manual...>

Dear Joseph,

Republican strategists think they can turn 2010 into 1994. They think they can take control of the Senate and undermine President Obama in the process. We have just four months to prove them wrong.

Four months to tell the American people that Democrats haven't stood down in the face of great challenges. We've stood up. We've put millions of Americans back to work, dramatically reformed health care, strengthened our standing in the world, and done so much more.

It wasn't easy, and it wasn't always popular, but we put the country back on the right path. Republicans didn't lift a finger to help.

If we want this progress to be the first chapter and not the end of the story, we need to make sure the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has what it needs to do what they do best - elect Democrats to the Senate. (Progressive Democrats...Joseph)

June 30 marks a big fundraising deadline for the DSCC. You and I need to make sure they meet their goal so they can do everything our candidates need to win.

Look folks, I spent 36 years in the United States Senate. I've seen first-hand the kind of power senators have to advance the president's agenda - or halt it. I know that if we lose our majority, we will also lose progress on so many of the things we care about: reforming education, protecting our environment, investing in clean energy - is going to get a whole lot harder.


And with this new breed of Republican candidates beholden to the far right wing of the Republican Party, it could be downright impossible.

As the official campaign arm of Senate Democrats, the DSCC is the only committee dedicated to electing Democrats to the U.S. Senate, and they need your generous support. They make sure our candidates have the support they need to win even in the toughest electoral environments.

The DSCC has a critical fundraising deadline coming up. We have to show Republicans that we are going to take them head-on this November. When pundits and the press take a look at our fundraising numbers, we have to show them that we have what it takes to win.

Click here to donate $5 or more to the DSCC. The DSCC needs to meet its goal in the next 48 hours to keep pace with the Republicans. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact.

The election might seem like it's a long way off, but it's less than six months away. Campaigns are heating up. And the future of this country - from the economy to education to energy - is on the line.

Please join me in showing Republicans that Democrats are ready for this fight.

Sincerely,

Joe Biden

P.S.: By standing up for working Americans, by passing health care reform, by supporting clean energy, President Obama and I have angered many corporate special interests. As a result, the Republicans don't just have the Tea Partiers standing behind them. Thanks to the Citizens United decision, their deep-pocketed corporate backers can give them more support than ever before. That's what we're up against. And that's why we need you.

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
