Jared Polis conference call
Last night I listened in on a conference call arranged by my CO CD-2 Rep. Jared Polis. I've posted a lengthy summary in a diary over at Square State, and cross-posted to DailyKos.

Shatner as Palin
I'm sure this will be all over the Internet today, if it isn't already, but I needed it here.

Whitehouse Speaks
I tried to listen to the Senators talk yesterday at the Sotomayor hearings, but honestly most of them were too long-winded and not particularly interesting. One exception was Sheldon Whitehouse, who made some good points. If you have a few minutes, listen to this.

Friday Gardening
We're actually having a thunderstorm tonight, and may have hail. But I've got tiny green beans and the zucchini are flowering. And the trumpetvine looks beautiful.

Tehran Today
Once again the people of Iran have taken to the streets in peaceful protest for their democratic rights.
There are reports of people walking quietly all over the city, as well as in outlying cities such as Shiraz. Some reports of gunfire, but it's not entirely clear what is going on.
Best wishes to them.

Declaration
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

What the...?
"America is now, more than ever, looking North to the Future." That's primo batshit crazy.
At least it's brought the Michael Jackson tributes to a momentary halt.

Where is my vote?
Though the brutal crackdown in Iran has stopped the large demonstrations and slowed the flow of information from the country, the people have not stopped demanding their rights. They pray that we do not forget them, and ask that you download the .PDF file at Support Democracy in Iran, and spread them around.
Put one on your door, post them at local businesses, share with your friends! I know it doesn't seem like much, but it is one simple thing they have asked us to do. Don't let the people of Iran and their struggle vanish from sight.
