Earlier tonight we posted the weird going on in the Ellie Light saga: Today went from weird to something out of an episode of the Twilight Zone. This morning the Cleveland Plain Dealer got a call from Ellie Light. Then this afternoon they got a call from a second person claiming to be Ellie Light. Will the the real Ellie Light PLEASE Stand Up ? The real Ellie Light was really #1 the "woman with the deep voice" she contacted the paper again tonight. A man who identified himself as Winston Steward, 51, of Frazier Park, Calif., says he made...

All my life, I believed in Republican values -- individual responsibility and limited government. Then it happened; I found myself with a small child, unemployed and disabled. I turned to my church, and after years of regular tithes, suddenly I just wasn't their problem. My Republican friends? I was now a pariah to them. My only relief was to turn to government assistance for housing, food, and other needs and I was able to survive with dignity. So chalk me up as one who no longer drinks the GOP koolaid.

THERE'S NO need for me to add to the many critiques pointing out the hypocrisy, narrow-mindedness and self-imposed ignorance of fundamentalist Christian voters like the Wilkersons (''For family, religion shapes politics," Page A1, March 29). I'm writing for a different reason, which is to caution Democratic Party leaders against pandering to these fundamentalist red staters. As the Wilkerson article pointed out, some in the Democratic Party feel it is necessary to appeal to the religious right in order to win national elections. Such a shift would lose as many voters for the Democrats as it might gain. We've already got...

Montreal Gazette, Nov4,2004: -------------------------------------------------- What the U.S. election shows Letter November 4, 2004 As an American, I would like to say that with George W. Bush winning, I respect the vote of the U.S. electorate. But let's see what was said by this election: That the U.S. is the most evil hateful country in the world. That it's right to tell and make up lies to invade a country. That we can go to Iraq to free the people but it's OK to rape and kill the innocent people. That as "one nation under God," the god is the god...

It's time to drive the Kerry supporters off the Letters to the Editor pages of newspapers across the country. Here are 3 Easy Steps with a pre-written letter to the editor to submit by email to your local paper...

30 Second Letter to the Editor - Write AGAINST the Democrats THURSDAY! (action item)Please take a few moments to complete this important action item.The fact is, many people read the "Letters to the Editor" in their local, hometown papers.  Further, these papers are more willing than the major ones to publish conservative points of view.  Thus, by flooding these papers with letters, we can get our viewpoints out to a good chunk of the public.So, I have prepared four sample letters below with some major points we need to get across.  Take a look, and, if you have time, compose...

WASHINGTON : Presidential hopeful and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry today announced he has offered Johnny Depp first refusal of the coveted VP spot in his Democratic bid for the White House. I first saw Johnny in that scissors movie, Kerry told reporters, and I’ve wanted to run with him ever since. A source close to the Kerry campaign stated that Kerry believes Depp’s charm, charisma and intense global popularity is just the thing needed to sway voter support of post-teen females, twenty-something housewives, every woman in middle-aged America and that ‘certain section of guys’ towards the Democratic ticket in November....

"This would be a joke if your lies weren't so blatantly false. (Christian Group Blasts 'Orgy of Depravity' at Disney's Gay Days, August 7) I can't tell you how many times I've had to complain about breeders doing their trick in public and nobody bats an eyelid, but the minute the vicious Right Wing Hate Machine begins spewing its lies, people fall all over themselves in phony indignation. They're probably gay too, but just lack the courage to out themselves. You should be ashamed of yourselves, but people who lie have no conscience- they do go to Hell." Melinda C....
