almost ALL those 47% HAVE jobs (or are retired from their jobs), and they almost ALL pay (or have paid) all kinds of taxes (Social Security, Medicare, sales, property...)

Douchebag of Year Eric Cantor
Michele Bachmann knows how to clear out a Chicago Synagogue, they leave and donate to her Opponent
"The holiness of the room and the holiness of the evening was greatly diminished for me, if not completely destroyed," said Gary Sircus, who stormed out of the synagogue where he has observed the High Holidays for 25 years. "Our congregation values and embodies tolerance, compassion, respect for individual rights, intelligence, science — all of the things that I think Michele Bachmann stands against." Later that night, he composed an email to Graves' campaign and sent it to others, urging them to donate. His words have since gone viral. "I felt that the best way to 'honor' Ms. Bachmann's visit was to make a contribution to your campaign," Sircus wrote. "Even though I do not vote in Minnesota, please do everything in your power to take away this evil woman's soapbox."

NC NAACP and Denominational Leaders Gather to Announce the
69th Annual NC NAACP State Convention Under the Theme:
"If We Ever Needed to Vote, We Sure Do Need to Vote Now"
RALEIGH - Exactly 10 days before the regular voter registration deadline, the president and other officers of the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP will join African-American church denominational leaders, representing thousands of churches in North Carolina, to speak with one voice calling for mass voter mobilization and announcing the 69th Annual NC NAACP State Convention in Raleigh this year.
The news conference will take place on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 12:00 PM outside the NC State Capitol on the Morgan Street to the south of the Capitol.
The NC NAACP State Convention, which will take place Oct. 11-13 in Raleigh, will be entirely focused on voter education, voter protection and voter mobilization for Get-Out-The-Vote. The General State Baptist Convention, the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention and the AME Zion Church will be in attendance at the news conference.
"When we look at the scale and scope of this election, the fact that we will be electing the President, the Governor, every member of the NC General Assembly, US Representatives in addition to county commissioners, town council members, school board members and judges across the state, the civil rights and faith communities cannot take one vote for granted," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the NC NAACP. "In light of the weighty matters before us and how our elected officials will address poverty, jobs and labor rights, educational equality, healthcare for all, continuing disparities in the criminal justice system and the deep concerns now around voting rights and defending democracy, the North Carolina NAACP's message will be 'If We Ever Needed To Vote, We Sure Do Need To Vote Now!'"
At the news conference the NC NAACP will lay out a strategy on how it will use the Convention to push through early voting and election day with a strong, coordinated and grassroots campaign girded by its 125 local branches, 140+ HKonJ Coalition partners and the African-American Church. During the news conference, the NC NAACP will also announce partnership with legal voter protection groups as well.
"While strictly nonpartisan, the NAACP and these historic African-American denominations believe that the issues of poverty, educational equality, voting rights, healthcare and labor rights ought to be at the center of the political agenda," Rev. Barber continued. "We should use candidates' stances on these issues to discern whom to support electorally."

NOM is Pissed. they must release records
Today the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from a national anti-gay marriage group that tried to thwart Maine’s campaign disclosure law requiring it to release its donor list.
The high court on Monday turned aside an appeal from the National Organization for Marriage, which donated $1.9 million to a political action committee that helped repeal Maine’s same-sex marriage law. Maine’s campaign disclosure law requires groups that raise or spend more than $5,000 to influence elections to register and disclose their donors. The group says that it believes that releasing the donor list would stymie free speech, but the lower court refused to throw out the law.
Ok, Brian and Maggie where are those records.. Release them Now, since you have no more courts to run to..
