YouTube usually tries to stay away from featuring videos with political agendas, as well they should. What they will feature is obvious generic boring videos such as “STAND UP for WORLD PEACE”.
But if you’ve been to YouTube in the past few months, political sections sponsored by the site are taking over. And it seems the YouTube editors are getting increasingly more right-wing. Read the rest of this entry »
and in turn the voting youth of America. They are scared to answer questions on the War in Iraq, climate change, healthcare, stem cell research, and civil rights. Why? Because they are, for the most part, on the wrong side of every issue.
Only Ron Paul and John McCain have signed on to the CNN/YouTube debate scheduled for September 17th in Florida. Both are idiots. Read the rest of this entry »

and stay completely out of Iraq?
Today the house voted to ban any permanent bases in Iraq. But the war still drags on.
Forget about political parties and politicians. Everything that has been tried has not worked yet. The President won’t listen, only half of the Congress listens.
Blame the Democrats for not trying hard enough. Blame the Republicans for being obstructionists. Blame the President for getting us into this mess. Let’s blame everyone, but let’s not let another unnecessary war happen again. If war is not the first answer to solving our problems, then we wouldn’t be caught up in the mess we are in.
At times we rely too much on our leaders to actually to what they’re there to do; lead. All of the proposed plans to end the war must involve a majority of Congress. There are no other alternatives. You hear about Gravel’s plan to make it a felony, or about Kucinich’s to totally cut the funding. But they all end in the same way. A majority of Congress must participate.
Whose fault is it? The country elected Bush for another term. We are now screwed for the next year and a half. We need a clean sweep of Congress, and a President who will lead us to a more respected country.
The CNN-YouTUbe debates this past Monday proved to be quite historic. All candidates did fine. Their eyes looked tired after weeks of non-stop campaiging. I guess they shouldn’t have started so early. I was looking forward to the “YouTube style” videos from the candidates. They turned out to be 30 second free campaign ads.

Open letters are extremely popular these days. But most of them always involve bitter fighting or controversy. This time I decided to write a positive one for a man who I think would make the greatest next president, if he were in the race.
Dear Vice President Gore,
Solving the climate crisis is now your life’s work. But how else are we going to complete the process of solving the climate crisis if you don’t run for and win the presidency? America’s youth needs a president who is serious about solving the climate crisis, because it is our generation that will mostly be affected by this.
The current frontrunners don’t speak about the climate crisis as much as they should. Instead, we’ve seen the top tier presidential candidates get into some trouble over statements regarding other candidates participation in the race. I think the race to essentially buy the White House has started too early. This reinforces the idea that the status quo of politics as usual only benefits those with the most money; those who want power.
You recently stated that you have “fallen out of love with politics.” I don’t think we need a politician. Washington needs a politician; America needs a leader. You are that leader.
You had the boldness to be against the War in Iraq from the beginning. That is the kind of courage and ethics that we should have in our next president.
Al, please run for president. America’s youth supports you. You already won once, how hard can a second time be?
Sincerely,
Dan Solis

The never ending quagmire that is the War in Iraq could reach $1.4 Trillion by the end. That’s $12 Billion a month. The same war that has cost us over 3,600 American lives, and over 600,000 Iraqi civilian’s lives. All of this to preserve Bush’s non-existent “legacy” as the ‘Freedom Fighter’. 50 years from now, that legacy will actually be of an international terrorist who should have, but didn’t, listen to his people, the American people.
