Found this little interesting list at HumanEvents.com–the Top 10 McCain Campaign Contributors.

1. Merrill Lynch $230,310 (Investment/Financial)
2. Citigroup Inc. $219,551 (Investment/Financial)
3. Blank Rome LLP $189,226 (Counsellors at Law)

10. Lehman Brothers $96,050 (Global Investment Banking)

This list is a couple of weeks old–so, some of the actual contribution numbers might have changed, but it is a VERY interesting assortment of financial backers.

Out of the Top 10 Contributors to John McCain’s campaign, 7 of the investors are from the Financial sector, two are law firms, and AT&T.

In the issue regarding the John McCain campaign denying United States Citizens their right to Freedom of Speech, I guess there are others who agree with me.

Here is the interview of the Librarian on Keith Oberman:

Bush claims executive privilege on CIA leak

(AP Article published at Yahoo)

George Bush, in a stroke of genius using the one club in his legal golf bag, has invoked Executive Privilege again.

Allegedy, someone was preparing to ask him to prove something that he might have said at some time, and before the question had gained momentum from a thought to an auditory format, Executive Privilege had been invoked–thereby circumventing the even public PHRASING of the question.

Do you remember the kid who would say, “I know you are, but what am I?” as a direct response to your verbal attacks?  That kid, seeing the success decides then and there to utilize it to every word out of your mouth–until it is no longer fun to play together.

The kid is George Bush, and the game is Democracy.

I am going to go home and have some cookies and milk . . . .

Dear Senator McCain,

If you were to become Commander-in-Chief, you are going to have to do a bit better.

Freedom of Speech is a RIGHT guaranteed to every Citizen of the United States of America by the Constitution–the Supreme Law of the Land.  I learned this in 5th Grade.

You cannot take it away from Citizens who happen to exercise it and say things that do not agree with you–even if it has done before–and right before your very eyes.

If someone were jumping off of a cliff, would you follow him?  NO.  Well, just because someone breaks the Supreme Law, do you have to follow him? (Please follow the article on the “Free-Speech Zone” in The American Conservative.)

Clearly, in the VIDEO below, your actions show that you are breaking the law and denying Citizens of the United States of America their right to Freedom of Speech, and that you are asking other Citizens and Police Officers to enforce it.  What you did to the Librarian who was holding a sign at the rally in Denver, CO was illegal.  She should have never been given a ticket and a court date for exercising her rights afforded to her as a Citizen.

Please do better, and respect the Supreme Law, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the RIGHTS of Citizens.

Thank you,

There are going to be a couple of changes to how I update Electronic Writer:

1. New Reactions to news and events. There is a new category called Reactions.  Shorter works that are responding primarily to news and events will be categorized as a Reaction.  My reactions to news and events will come more frequently, and will be directing readers to other pieces of information.
2. Longer Opinion/Editorial articles. I will also be publishing longer pieces that attempt to editorialize some of the events of the world.  These will be longer, contain more analysis, and will be researched.  some of the longer pieces might appear in other printed or online publications.

I look forward to your feedback and participation.

Thank you.

One of my favorite things to do is to catch Fox News lying or directly corrupting the truth for their own purposes, and this one SINGS.

The media sting happened first at Media Matters.  In the Media Matters article, “Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters,” Wednesday, July 2 2008, you can read the transcript, watch the video clip, and see the photos.

Co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Show, Fox & Friends, should be noted for their lack of journalistic integrity and their willingness (implicitly or explicitly) for purporting lies on behalf of themselves and/or the Fox News Network.

Editor and Publisher has another review of the incident here.

I tried and tried to give it up, but I cannot.  I simply cannot ignore the state of affairs in the current Geo-political landscape of the United States.

What is more, I am compelled to write about it . . . .

That being said, I’M BACK!!!
