DADT is over. These are three little words that come with so much meaning. I only started taking a more proactive role to see the end of DADT in January of last year. Before then, I tried to keep my head down and avoid confrontation. However, something changed. I came to realize that as a [...]

Who knew it would take her presence for a truly bipartisan action: Welcoming Rep Giffords back to the Hill.

You know, this waiting until the last second to pass legislation that will keep this country from coming to a screeching halt is starting to get a bit redundant. First it was with passing the budget and now it has happened again with raising the debt limit. I’m tired of the “business generators,” who have [...]

As you have heard by now, Elizabeth Edwards has passed away after a valiant battle with breast cancer. Whether you agreed or disagreed with her politics, you cannot deny that she was a woman who played a very active role in her idiot husband’s campaigns, refusing to take on the normal position of a Barbie [...]

Okay, so that vote on the NDAA Bill did not work out too well. I saw it coming when I lobbied last week, but it’s not over yet. Sen. Reid is going to have another vote after the November elections and I imagine I’ll be lobbying back on the Hill before the year is out. [...]

Howdy Folks! I know, it’s been over a month and a half since I last posted, but I have been very tied up between the job and school. Don’t worry, another year and I’m done with the full-time schooling. (Only a year.) In the meantime, I’ve been keeping a close eye on hoping that DADT [...]

I am am busier than a one-armed paper hanger, but I, of course, had to make a quick comment on this article. I am sort of hopeful that this case will be taken to the Supreme Court so that we can be done with this shitty form of discrimination for once and for all. I [...]

Okay, so I’ve been wrapped up in coursework and World Cup action this weekend, (shout out to Paul the Octopus) but I didn’t forget my promise to post before the weekend is out. I had read today that White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs thinks that there’s a good chance the Republicans will take back the [...]

Tomorrow is an important day for me as I will be lobbying my senators and representative to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. This might not seem like a big deal; perhaps it isn’t on your radar, as I know we all have so much going on in our daily lives. However, I just [...]

Slowly but surely one segment of the population is gaining headway toward achieving equal rights in this country. President Obama made his feelings be known that gays and lesbians should have hospital access to be with their loved ones. All I can say is… progress. Who knows… there just may be some light at the [...]

The House just finished voting on the Health Care bill, which will now go up to the President for his signature. I’ll admit, I’m not 100% in love with the final package, but I am glad that friends of mine who do not have health insurance will finally be covered. Changes to the Bill are [...]

Today’s a great day!!!! How so? Something wonderful has happened in D.C. and no, the Republicans did not have a change of heart on the health care bill. Gay couples are finally going to be able to get married and step one of the process became legal today. By six this morning, the first gay [...]

Wow, I didn’t realize that it’s been over two weeks since my last posting. I’ve been keeping busy between work, school, two snowstorms and other extracurricular activities. I have been keeping an eye on the world of political happenings and to see, Sen. Bayh a moderate democrat step down due to the severe partisan [...]

Unless you were living under a rock today, you have probably heard that the military’s top brass testified that ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ should be repealed. Granted, they have asked for a year to research how to go about allowing the gay community to serve openly in the military, which is a lot longer than [...]
