The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

Call it a day Hillary Clinton. First it was new, then exciting, then boring, now you are just making a fool of yourself. The course you are upon will only lead to your eventual complete and utter demise as a political force to be reckoned with. Someone stated admiringly that you had testicular fortitude, leave while you are still intact, before you are politically c a s t r a t e d.

I thought Obama supporters liked following rules since they yell that about the Mich. and Fla. votes not counting! What about the RULE that states the super delegates can pick whoever they think can win the general yet Obamabots yell that she would be stealing the election, how so when those are the rules?! The rules state she has every right to fight till the convention! For pete sakes let the process play through! What does BO have to worry about if she can't win? She isn't harming the party, he did that months ago with the false claim the Clintons were race baiting! I will not vote Obama unless Hillary is on the ticket somewhere!

How far down the low road will Hillary go? Well, at least far enough to scam her supporters out of $12mil, I bet!!

After making a joke of herself, now Hillary is making a joke out of her supporters.

What a feeble excuse for a former candidate!

so hillary-richard mellon-scaife-rupert murdoch-rush limbaugh-rodham-von clinton voted for THE WAR.

BUSHCLINTONBUSHCLINTONBUSHCLINTONEXECUTIVEPOWEERBUSHCLINTONBUSHCLINTONBUSHCINTONEXECUTIVEPOWERBUSHCLINTONBUSHCLINTON BUSHCLINTONDICTATORSHIP.......

This is madness! Hillary is fracturing the party on ethnic lines just because she can't imagine anyone but herself in the presidency! Hillary, your policy differences with Obama are miniscule! Encourage your supporters to at least consider Obama... please stop pushing xenophobia and stop hurting the party!

AL SHARPTON WAS ARRESTED TODAY DURING A PROTEST IN WHICH HUNDREDS MARCHED IN NYC OVER THE SEAN BELL SHOOTING. Why hasn't WaPo reported on this? When will Hillary address this controversy???

I think this is one for the nominee, Barack Obama.

In 1995, Sharpton led his National Action Network in an ugly boycott against Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business in Harlem, New York. Some picketers openly threatened violence against whites and Jews -- all under the watchful, approving eye of Sharpton. The subsequent picketing became increasingly menacing in its tone until one of the protesters eventually shot four whites in the store and then set the building on fire -- killing seven employees, most of whom were Hispanics.

In 1995 Sharpton -- along with such notables as Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama -- helped organize Minister Louis Farrakhan's October 16 Million Man March..

In March 2008, Sharpton, a strong supporter of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, stated that he spoke to Obama on a regular basis -- "two or three times a week."

So far the film maker Michael Moore does not have much luck on presidential elections. In the year 2000, he supported Ralph Nader, resulting in a narrow win by w. Bush over Gore. In 2004, Moore supported John Kerry, a war hero but also an elitist, who was beaten convincingly by Bush in both electoral and popular votes. Can Moore's candidate be the winner this year, I doubt it

And as the Captain of the SS DIMO, goes Onward through the Fog!

John SIDNEY McCain has violated no campaign finance laws (he knows them back and forth, as you noted, since he co-wrote them ; )

One former FEC chairman, Michael Toner, said McCain would not need action by the FEC to pull out of public financing: "If a candidate indicates he or she does not want the money and does so before payments are made and does not take advantage of the promise of future payments, then he or she is free to withdraw from the system," said Toner, who advised former GOP presidential contender Fred Thompson. "That's my understanding of exactly what happened here."

Now is not the time to joke about Hillary. She initially ran her campaign on the premise that she was inevitable. However, after Feb. 5, she knew she had to change. She decided to fall into the Rovian-style politics of fear, hate, and division. She and the media have work relentlessly at pinning a label on Obama as a radical black man with ties to terrorists who also is a closet Muslim. And it some aspects, it has worked. The base she is campaigning to now has a large element of people who just plain do not want to vote for a black man as the next president of the United States. She has been magnifying and feeding fire to these unAmerican fears. Now that she has them in tow, she will leverage their vote to force Obama to choose her as his running mate. Hillary will do this without saying it, but most of us can read the writing on the wall. This would be a disaster for Obama if he cedes to this extortion. She will spend the entire four years of his administration trying to demean and marginalize Obama's effectiveness. Let's hope the remaining voters and superdelegates can see through her self centered machinations, and let American get into the mode of healing and uniting, not more fear, hatred, and division.

I just have a question about the $11+ million Clinton has loaned her campaign. How is she going to pay it back? Her high dollar donors have maxed out. Who else is there? To donate to her seriously mismanaged campaign now would be like deliberately buying a lemon on a used car lot.

For many long time Democratic members, one of the major source of frustration in this presidential election is the current Dem. primary election system, which is so mediocre and ill-designed, the rules of which is so complicated that even a rocket scientist will have problem to comprehend, The awkward situation of invalidating the Florida and Michigan election appears to be the outcome of power struggle between the national and local bureacrats of the Dem. party, not the fault of FL and MI people. The leading candidate, i.e. sen. Obama has not won any key battleground state as well as any major large state except his home state Illinois while most states he won are traditional red states which the Dem. has little chance to win in November. The fact is that, if the more efficient, simple electoral vote system was adopted, the primary election for the Dem. party would be long over, with sen. Clinton as the nominee.

Michael Moore perhaps you can break out the story on Operation Chaos. Please check it out. They are mobolizing conservatives to vote for Hillary, and they are the ones how are saying they will never vote for Obama. There are also republicans who are not for this race baiting tactics, and i am sure that Hillary supporters will vote for Obama, because Americans are not for the war, and Obama has moral authority that good honest folk respect. I love American people. They are good people. So, we need to keep in mind the conspiracy Operation Chaos, is misleading. Hillary has no strong base of support. Obama is the one and the movement inspires people, that American can do better. We can be respected leaders in the world, and right now the Bush and Clintons are an embarrassment. We go all over the world talking about democracy, and then we say the vote shouldnt count. Obama won more states, more popular vote, more delegates, but the vote shouldnt count. Of course Obama will whip Mccain. He just needs to expose the truth. About the war, about the economy. Black, red, yellow and white, old, young, rich, poor, we want a secure America. We dont want a nuclear war with Iran. There is a time to fight, and a time to exercise humility and respect one another. Because not just America, but the worlds future is at stake. Obama has the respect of the worlds people... He will win, and the multi-cultural people, will back him in office. As far as white people, God Bless the people of Iowa. They demonstrate that all Americans are in this together. Lets not let Operation Chaos skew our thinking.

It is becoming crystal clear that Hillary is part of *operation chaos* being pushed by the ultra conservative republicans, via Rush Limbaugh. We recall that Bill Clinton was interviewed by Rush Limbaugh and these fanatics are trying to cause chaos in the democratic party and use divisions to as Obama out is slice and dice the progressive movement. This supports the aim of the power structure. Hillary made a show on the gax tax in support of McCain. So, i think she knows what she is doing. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea should know the ideals promoted by Rush Limbaugh. if you go to his website, it looks like fascism. So why then are then not speaking against these ideals? hm... They are for the war, they are known racist, they are against progressive multi-cultural people... Those honest democrats would never vote for McCain and side with Rush Limbaugh simply because of exagerrated statements made by an aging minister. This was only a diversion. Which side is Hillary and Bill really on? Knowing that she cant win what purpose does her going on achieve. Chaos in the democratic party? Who gains by this?

It has been unfortunate that for the first time large numbers of common people, first time donors, many of whom didn't really have a lot of money to spare, have gotten involved in campaigns of two opposing candidates. I believe that many people have given money very close to the heart , money that maybe they really needed for themselves, rather than their candidate. Therefore , I think people took their giving more personally than most of the donors in previous campaigns where the donors were big money people. It is also true that there have been a lot more volunteers from these two campaigns. so with the eventual loss by one candidate, it may be harder for that candidate's supporters to support the other than previous situations. I know there has been a lot of flack both ways and I urge supporters on all sides to settle down and the winners be gracious and not rub it in, and the losers to realize how close the views of one candidate reflect the views of the other. In many cases, they are identical. They are certainly far, far closer than those reflected by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and John McCain.I know this won't be easy at first, but it is necessary for the Democrats to win and it will be better even for the losing side to channel their frustrations with the conditions in our country today.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

what you morons seem to miss is that it was the state parties that bucked the system, and that Shillary said they don't matter until she started losing.My God what don't you get. the primaries aren't about democracy and the right to vote, it's about choosing the best someone to run. Clintons knew the rules from the git go. It only started to matter when it was too late for her to make up the ground period. get over it.This is why our democrat party is so weak and useless most of the time. Sometimes I admire the republicans,not for their policies, but the way they seem to find a way to resolve their differences and come to gether. This is a chance for us to finally get rid of the malfeasance that is in office now, and attempt to rebuild the country within and world wide. Oh by the way I used to be a Hillary supporter, and no I am not a traitor, I am thinking of the party as a whole and not whining about the past. Time for us to heal and move on!

AJ- Actually, McCain is going to be both a Blessing and a Curse to Both sides.

But, in order:

Having Troops in Iraq, is no different than the Troops we have all around the World. We have had them in Kuwait since the First Gulf War! In Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and many other places! Get over it, or whine about Germany, Japan or S.Korea FIRST-They have been in some of those for 60 Years!

Iran? About Time! However, only Qods Targets! The People are NOT the Enemy!

Tax Cuts? At this point call "Barry's" goals what they are; Tax Increases! Lots of them!

Conservative Judges to the Supreme Court? And EVERY other Federal Court Opening as well! :-)

But, Juan McAmnesty might NOT be your concern.

See, ANY Fool could do all that, easily! I would argue any Fool could also ENFORCE Our Federal Labor Laws.

BUT, for anyone desiring the GOP Nod, and support;

ONLY A JACK-FOOL would Pledge NOT TO! :-(

Democrats are apparently expressing a desire to move away from the Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush political dynasties; Hillary Clinton is not being successful in her bid to get them to reconsider.

After numerous defeats, Hillary's determination to continue in the primary races present her as someone who is consumed in self-destructive type behavior.

It is no secret the Clinton's have joined forces with Karl Rove, Bill O'Reilly, FOX "news" and yes, Rush Limbaugh. These are the funky entities that stink of the infamous, "mean right-wing conspiracy machine." The Clinton's have hopped "in bed" with all of these.

The Clinton's have slithered one foot into the Republican party. (Of course, Hillary has roots in every hamlet and village in every state in the union but she also has roots in the Republican party).

Hillary wants to be President; her Democratic party is saying NO to her and the Republican party has interjected creative ways to support her while not fully embracing their apparent nominee; If I were John McCain I would watch my back. (How SICK is all of this?).

So, on a more serious note, let's all pray and keep a watchful eye on Hillary for any further signs indicating an apparent mental breakdown.

Wolf, trying to hold a legitimate policy discussion with JakeD is useless. He behaves like a Rovian Republican looking for any potential Obama gaffes and practices the politics of distraction and personal destruction.

JakeD knows the following as soon will McCain, that on substantial policies important to most Americans, he and McCain are totally out-of-touch.

Once Hillary-supporters fully understand what McCain stands for, they will come back to Obama and the Democratic Party.

McCain wants continue the war in Iraq.
McCain wants to act militarily against Iran.
McCain wants to extend the Bush Tax cuts.
McCain wants to nominate more conservative judges to the Supreme Court.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name.

Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.

Well, that sounded good last year, but over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!

This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.

But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.

How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come -- but it won't be you. We'll have to wait for the current Democratic governor of Kansas to run in 2016 (you read it here first!).

There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.

That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him.

I know some of you will say, 'Mike, what have the Democrats done to deserve our vote?' That's a damn good question. In November of '06, the country loudly sent a message that we wanted the war to end. Yet the Democrats have done nothing. So why should we be so eager to line up happily behind them?

I'll tell you why. Because I can't stand one more friggin' minute of this administration and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world. I'm almost at the point where I don't care if the Democrats don't have a backbone or a kneebone or a thought in their dizzy little heads. Just as long as their name ain't "Bush" and the word "Republican" is not beside theirs on the ballot, then that's good enough for me.

I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for 8 long years. That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters -- that big "D" on the ballot.

Don't get me wrong. I lost my rose-colored glasses a long time ago.

It's foolish to see the Democrats as anything but a nicer version of a party that exists to do the bidding of the corporate elite in this country. Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgement and a hope that one day we will have a party that'll represent the people first, and laws that allow that party an equal voice.

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.

But the question I keep hearing is... 'can he win? Can he win in November?' In the distance we hear the siren of the death train called the Straight Talk Express. We know it's possible to hear the words "President McCain" on January 20th. We know there are still many Americans who will never vote for a black man. Hillary knows it, too. She's counting on it.

Yours,
Michael Moore

Just a mini-comment for JakeD...

About your Obama-Public Financing comment, you do realize, that McCain is one of the primary architects for campaign reform, right? And that he not only made that same pledge, but then went ahead and secured a loan based upon public financing to keep his campaign alive last year... right?

And since then this very same reformer has tried to renege - not just on a promise, but on an agreement between him and the FEC... right?

If I were you and supporting McCain, you may wish to stay away from this issue; Considering the champion of reform will not hold good on his own words himself.

My fellow Democrats it is time close ranks and embrace the Democratic Nominee, Barack Obama. Hillary barely etched out a victory in Indiana (won by 1.46 pts) and Obama had a blow out victory of 15.1 pts in North Carolina. The way the nomination process is predicted to go, i.e. Hillary wins West Virginia, Kentucky. Then Obama goes on to win Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota.

People give Hillary the Puerto Rico vote because she has thus far won the latino vote (by over 60%), but Puerto Ricans are not the same as Mexicans. If Obama wins Puerto Rico, Hillary would definitely be out by June 5th.

Next: You figure out a way to give him an unfair advantage

Next: You disqualify Florida for moving up it's primary, and disenfranchise over 2.5 million voters because they're not hanging with Mr. O

Next: You disqualify Michigan for moving up it's primary, and disenfranchise over 1 million voters because they're not hanging with Mr. O. (plus you tell Mr. O. to quickly remove his name from the ballot several days before the election)

Next: You chastise all efforts to expose the irregularities of Mr. O. as conservative antics, and sweep half of Mr. O's geneology under the rug, because that doesn't qualify under preferential, presidential quota systems,

Next: You come out swinging while the race is still up in the air, and endorse Mr. O. showing that you can use the favoritism card,

Next: You contact all liberal media outlets, and advocate they harp all over Mr. O's opponent, that she's not good enough, that she can't win, that the votes of over 3.5 million voters will not be counted anyway.

Next: You contact Mr. O, tell him how rough the ride's been, and hang on for dear life, because the primary will be kitty, and the general a lion...

Then you tell Mr. O. who sure would have been easier if he was a woman!

Dear Cindy Otto -

I wonder who the fool is here.

It will be quite foolish for Obama when wins the nomination but can't become president, given that Hillary has won the states that Democrats carry.

Some of us Democrats will have a groundswell for McCain. So sad...too bad - Obama will be to blame, along with his superdelegate buddies. He's the one who should be out.

jusa

you go girl, get those votes from florida and michigan, cash in on kentucky and west virginia, a double win will look real nice, you go girl, you grab all the popular vote possible, and then will see who america really wants as the democratic nominee....

you go girl!

jusa

With McGovern, who is not a superdelegate,
endorsing Obama, Hillary absolutely should press on.

I mean what does McGovern know about how to win!

From desperate to the verge of pathetic...Hillary needs to save the little dignity she has left. Bill already ripped most of it in the '90s -- she needs to get out before her negatives climb in to the 80 and 90 percentile.

What was making me mad is now just turning sad, sad, sad. Nothing worse than a person who doesn't know when their best days are behind them.

Like Al Gore did?

So she refuses to release what the campaign made after Indiana and North Carolina, yet donating to her own campaign is to show her "commitment". If you're supposedly getting new donations by the hour, why wouldn't you be proud to release the records? Is it because it actually makes her look weak if the numbers are low?

It's scary how she seems very adamant about using that Credentials Committee. Strikes me as someone who would also go to the Supreme Court for a re-count of votes.

The number of abortions in this country don't impact my family (directly).

To JakeD -

Perhaps you should do some research in to McCain. I doubt his policy will do your family better than Obama's, unless you're one of the super-rich.

At least its good to see the Republican crazies in a panic over Obama winning!

In case she DOESN'T press on through May, here's a reminder of the "Top Ten Obama Flip Flops" (the first half of the list courtesy of The Fact Checker).

10. Special Interests
Back in January, the Obama campaign described union contributions to the Clinton and Edwards campaign as "special interest" money. He changed his tune as he went after union endorsements himself. He now refers respectfully to unions as the representatives of "working people" and says he is "thrilled" by their support.

9. Public Financing
Obama replied "yes" in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. His spokesman now says that he never gave such a pledge, and Obama himself has attached several conditions, including regulating spending by outside groups.

8. The Cuba embargo
In January 2004, Obama said flatly that it was time "to end the embargo with Cuba," because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." Speaking to a Cuban-American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it was "an important inducement for change."

7. Illegal immigration
In a March 2004 questionnaire, Obama was asked if the government should "crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants." He replied "Oppose." In a televised debate on January 31, he said that "we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation."

6. Decriminalization of Marijuana
While running for the U.S. Senate in January 2004, Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use. In the October 30, 2007 presidential debate, he joined other Democratic candidates in opposing the decriminalization of marijuana.

5. I was FOR the Gas-Tax Holiday before I was Against it!

4. I Did Not Have Spiritual Relations With That Man, Rev. Wright ...

3. I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08.

2. "Selma Got Me Born"

And, the Top Obama Flip Flop:

1. "I Could No More Disown Rev. Wright Than I Could Disown My White Grandmother"

There's a difference between tenacious and delusional. Clinton is being self-centered and selfish by staying in the race. You noticed she LENT herself money; but, she's not going to pay back those diehard supporters who still don't see the reality of the situation and who are still donating to her. At least Romney had the guts to give his own money to his campaign.

Hillary has become a fool, and is making fools of whoever decides to stay on this Burning Bandwagon of hers.

You're just scamming us for money now, Hillary! How sad, after all our support, you do this to us!

Why not be honest, and let people know that you're out, and just want to pay off debts!

She is about as rich as it gets, and she askes the poor and middle class to support her and GIVE money, yet she just LOANS parts of her $100s of millions.

Hillary - Why not show a REAL sign of confidence in yourself, and DONATE the $12mil to your campaign, instead of asking to be repaid for your own failure. We've donated a lot to you, but I wish I could be repaid for those "loans" now too!

I may not be a big Obama fan, but he is who we have, and no way I could vote for McCain after the Bush regime.

Hillary - it's over.

Dear Fellow Americans,

Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical and substantial
"Challenges" in coming,
months, years, and decades to come.
It is very essential that we pick out our next
President on following criteria in mind.

1. A candidate with "Vision and Mission".

2. A candidate with " Stable Character and Integrity"
.

3. A candidate with "Presidential Temperament" and
"stable Judgment".

4. A candidate with "little "Washington" exposure"
and
"real connectedness with New Voters".

5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than
"Tears us down".

6. A candidate not based on sexism, racism, and
ageism.

In my professional and personal opinion, the only
candidate who has the above qualities and
characteristics and is also cool, calm, and collected
is Senator Obama.

As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In the process last
interest in Washington politics as usual and I
stopped voting.Not a good idea under any circumstance
particularly at present.

This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington stay the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are and
can be.

We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan hateful media. These media
outlets are trying to deprive, dupe, and derail us
from getting it right this time.

They are trying there best to deny us better rather
than bitter future. { Our Greatgrand Nations people
are persistently and constantly subjected to
Psychological terrorism" without their knowledge thru
these hateful partisan media outlets.

We Americans are should not and would not to allow
them
psychologically terrorized, traumatized and silence us
this time.

I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism, sexism and
ageism.

Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundation,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear or favor.

We can not afford to lose any of above. Let us stand
up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand Nation for
centuries to come and regain our world economic, and
power status back.

God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.

Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.

Yours sincerely,

How come no one has reported how much the campaigns raised last month?
