Siun!

Please excuse, Siun, then I’ll read.

Jacqrat, did you see the hattip you got at Think Progress?

Hi Gang! We’re live here - the last panel is just ending and we’re all waiting to hear this exciting announcment …

sitting with Pach and Christy …

eager anticipation

I can’t really see or hear it…:(

C-Span just dropped the live feed… 8-(

That video doesn’t work for me.

So, what is the plan?

but we’ll have live feed above … click the UStream for live video

Whomever is filming should really adjust the contrast or lighting, Siun! I can just make out shadow figures…

A little better picture, but no sound…?

I can make out Donna’s yellow jacket and the green one, who would that be Siun?

still getting started …
patience people

Darcy is in green, Sam in the middle

can ya blame us for squirmin’ in our seats?

Mahalo, Siun! Sound just came on! ;-)

It’s my understanding that Darcy has been working on this for six months …. it’s really amazing the buzz around this announcement … it’s definitely the talk of TBA

Getting picture and sound now…expecially the funny comments from someone right near the mike!!

Louder…if possible :)

Tom Andrews speaking now for Win without War and moderating.

Good picture, good sound.

It’s amazing to see this lineup of progressive candidates putting their campaigns on the line to bring action on Iraq.

#1. Call an International Peace Conference of All nations
#2.Use United Nations troops for peace keeping and add Nato
#3. Put All parties on notice that warring nations will have all assests frozen and serious sanctions will be employed.
#4. International Convenvetion will make all war illegal period
#5 Arms sale will also be illegal as illegal instruments of mayhem.

#6 All disputes will be addressed in International courts with appeals and Supreme proceedings.
Put this on a c-span like public television like the UN 24/7 with all languages.
Tax all nations to fund it any nation going to war will have assests taken by this peace government or something loke it.
Invite all environmental organizations to lay down the rules of environmental safety and recovery. Save planet Earth.

Call for Congress to start Impeachment investigation into crimes and misdameanors.
Organise world wide love in immediately.

Let’s hear what our candidates are raising as a plan - they have been working on this for a while and from all I’ve heard, the plan is good … no residual troops, no contractors …

Lots of good buzz around this event. I’m here with Siun and Christy.

Darcy is really good.

I almost hate to have the plan revealed. NOTHING good will happen while Bush is charge, the only thing announcing will do is give Cheney time to set things up so the plan won’t work.

Boxturtle (Paranoia is my friend)

BTW, Chuck Todd just announced there will not be a second primary in FLA…!

It’s a ballsy initiative for some of our Blue America candidates. I’m intrigued. It’s the kind of proactive leadership we want from our candidates, though I still have not had time to review the actual plan.

That said, it comes with some support from people whose opinions on this I tale seriously.

Precisely Pach … these candidates are really stepping up in a a big and courageous way.

LooHoo - no.. and I am totally bewildered as to what they would say about me.

Are you sure they meant me?

So she expects Congress to DO something? Bwahahahahaha.

Chuck Todd on Race For The White House (Davis Gregory’s new show) announces Florida will not hold a second primary. No additional details.

USTREAM TV working with firefox/linux.

nice!

sorry, the above was in reply to Loo Hoo @ 2

???

C’mon Darcy, specifics…! *g*

Darcy and the other candidates are running for congress and they plan to really DO SOMETHING.

See my 26…!

This is very exciting. Our Blue America candidates are the change we want to see.

Thanks to FDL for including all of us in this groundbreaking announcement.

oops…
Coca-Cola to you, tw3k!

Those are the vids Darcy’s trying to play?

Could you update the post with those so I can find them again easier?

Yep …

I’ll add them to the post shortly.

So far the Blue America signatories to this plan are Darcy Burner, Donna Edwards, Eric Massa and Sam Bennett.

If you like what they’re doing, you can tell them so with a $2 gift to any of them here.

Drink Water! :>

Just a note. I am trying to talk my husband into the idea of starting a blog.

Lahoma

Mahalo! I look forward to viewing them! 8-)

Here’s the link to the plan. (pdf alert)

Wonks go flyspeck it!

I’m sooooooo loving this!

Go for it.

What a terrific group of candidates!

Oh, this is the guy who is running against the odious Virgil Goode!

Great idea Pach .. $2 to each from me … hope lots of firepups will send our Blue America heroes a sign that we have their backs on this.

What a terrific group of candidates!

And talking about voting conscience, non-the-less!

Despite my cynicism (I expect U.S. will still have huge military bases in Iraq when I die), these folks sound a heck of a lot better than the ones currently in office.

Linkies work fine for utube thank you much…
Go team peace

Yay, Siobhan Sam Bennett up now!

Wow - that was pretty good stuff! I like Tom Perrielo!

Congressional budgeting process

Restore the guarantee of habeas corpus
End warrantless spying on U.S. citizens

btw gang … please digg this up … let’s get the word out that our candidates are leading …

wow, what a background

Wow, I did not remember Sam’s family’s rich military history. She speaks with some authority on this topic.

W: Complex solutions? Heh. I don’t do complex.

Jared Polis from Colorado now.

Yay: “The surge is not working”

Please keep saying this.

Glad we got that tift with Burner straightened out.

Thanks LS and Pach, I was just going to ask where to find the list

Polis talking about mercs now, and the instability they bring to any conflict, not being under any state’s sponsorship.

Gotta say … I feel awed by the smarts and backbone of this slate of candidates … wow!

Raising my hand, Darcy!

*raising my hand and waving as requested becuz I want this damned war to end*

I am there!

End the war.

End the War on Terror!

Darcy is asking everyone to step up with these candidates …

1- all who believe in this, read the plan and share with everyone … is there a plan to end the war?yes here it is
2- help get us into the US congress - volunteer, funding for message, has huge impact (these candidates have given up so much time to work on this)

and now Matt Stoller!

Stoller up now.

Woo! matt!!!11!!!

Hmmm… Right now I’m having issues printing up the pdf file! I’ll get back to it later!

Matt - two questions:

in 2002, so you want Saddam to stay in power? now it’s so you want to surge to fail?

this framework from today will change the conversation on national security … it’s easy for candidates to put out a short “we want to end the war” statement, it’s really hard to really work together to change the conversation as these candidates are doing … we owe them our work to get them elected

There will be a website going live shortly with all the info … later tonight …

ResponsiblePlan.com

It’s the leadership we’ve been asking for for so long - Stoller.

Changing the conversation: What can we do in Iraq to make our country stronger and safer?

The videos are showing now …

I want him to do a non-mainstream liberal blog.

L.

Thanks Siun

For starters I might suggest getting out of Iraq. And then doing genocide reparations.

Since the Ustream is over, I’ve set up the overivew Youtube above … share it around!

Think about if we spent just half of what we spend per month on the Iraq ‘war’ on rebuilding Iraq infra structure what that might mean in terms of perceptual good will.

The Plan as I did a quick read defines the concerns and suggests pathways to implement solutions.
The attachment indicate most support for Veterans benefit legislation;
means to me vet orgs need to get on board to increase odds of success.

The candidates have strong values that are widely held across America.
Needs good marketing. Anyone have a contact with Al Gore and his Google connections?

Speaking of taking back America, it is high time for FDL to take a stand on the increasingly vile campaign tactics and outright lies of Hillary “clusterbomb” Clinton and her minions. Having been a reader, and sometime commenter on this site almost from its inception, the similarities between Mrs. Clinton and Joe “douchebag” Lieberman cannot be refuted and should be addressed aggressively without further delay. Too bad Joe Wilson backed the wrong horse. It doesn’t mean we have to.

Did I miss it or does this plan NOT address correcting the dereliction of Congress with regard to its neglecting to safeguard its Constituional monopoly power to declare war?
