In the movie theater yesterday while I was attempting to view Michael Moore's great new documentary Capitalism, I was completely distracted by some right wing zealot with a tape recorder.

We need Dick Durbin. Please support a movement to replace the current Democratic leadership. As an Illinoisan, I have followed this man for years and he has the skills and knowhow to lead. We can't afford the status quo. My son-in-law has lost his job, and they will soon be moving in with me as they will lose their home within three months. Fat cat senators do not have our problems. I am a teacher and without the education funding public schools may have to go to a four day week. That is not just problematic for me but the country as a whole. Some counties in some states are already planning for this. I guess I'll just have to stock up on Spam.

I have spent far too much of my Saturday reading blogs and I have grown increasingly disturbed by what I am reading about the election. Liberal/progressives are smug and cynical and I am afraid not taking the threat from the Republican smear campaign seriously. Sarcasm and wit don't hold water with these guys. They are masters at this. Shouldn't you realize this by now? How many more elections are Democrats going to lose before we wake up and stand up to this!

This is a woman who battles for her family, her values, and her life. How is it that a country that prides itself on values of fairness and justice has no concern for the individual when it comes to civility, fairness, and justice? We watched Hilary Clinton and her daughter suffer public humiliation for a husband and father's personal indiscretion. Elizabeth Edwards is attempting in her diary to teach us. We need to listen to this strong voice.

Our nation will only survive if we the people challenge it to do so. Bill Moyers is one of the few who speaks for us. And yet only a small percentage of the American people will ever watch him. I dare say few Americans even know who he is, what part he has played in our government, and what he and his wife and producer Judith Davidson Moyers stand for in the ways they aspire our nation to be and to become. There are so many intelligent, well- read, concerned bloggers on Kos and other blogs - you need to break out of the cybersphere and get yourselves on the airwaves. Bill Moyers cannot hold the country up for all of us. Bill Moyers has been a hero of mine for many, many years and he is the model for whom all broadcast journalists should want to become.

Dear Fellow Kossacks ( love saying this now), this is my very first diary entry, I only posted one comment a year ago, but I just returned from the Yearly Kos Convention and I am now divesting myself of diary writing fear, so here goes. I am awed to be in the company of such brilliant, compassionate, dedicated Americans. I hope you enjoy my first entry. Maeve
