Dallas County Young Democrats
The Dallas Young Democrats is an organization open to 14 - 40 year olds that believe in the Democratic way. In other words, we're young North Texans working for a better tomorrow for everyone in our community.
As one of the fastest-growing Democratic clubs in the Dallas area, and one of the largest Young Democrats groups in the nation, our organization offers a unique opportunity for young adults looking to get involved in the Dallas community and politics.
Our monthly meetings feature speakers from around Dallas and the nation. From elected officials to grassroots activists, we offer our members a wide range of perspectives on the current political climate and issues important to young Democrats. Previous speakers include state Representative Terri Hodge, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem John Loza and Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.
But there's more to the DCYDs than just meetings. Every month we hold a happy hour which is the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded young Dallasites. We also volunteer for local Democratic campaigns and other worthwhile causes and send delegations around the country for national YD events.
I think he has a clear picture of what needs to be done and some great ideas about how to achieve it. He's an eloquent speaker, intelligent, and he seems to genuinely CARE about this country and Americans. Many Americans have lost trust in the current administration and the traditional ways of government operations, and when people's trusts are compromised it is difficult to restore. I think Obama's plan to revamp what is possible in Washington is commendable. The derailment and abuse of power by the current administration, and the unprecedented unpopular results it is still producing will take many years of labor to mend. The Senator's aim to work on policy reform while honoring our constitution versus catering to lobbyists and special interest groups stands to reshape the Capital and it stands to trickle down to my home town. I believe Obama is the only candidate that genuinely speaks to the possibility of change in government. I believe he can make a difference.

How much of your tax payment this year would you like to allocate for waterboarding in Iraq or an invasion of Iran?
Around the world, people are puzzled as to why the U.S. public allows the Bush administration to wage illegal wars and usurp our power. Why do we tolerate it and continue to pay for it? Read More »

(What is this?) Senior American intelligence and defence officials believe that President George W Bush and his inner circle are taking steps to place America on the path to war with Iran, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.
Pentagon planners have developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing targets in Iran, amid growing fears among serving officers that diplomatic efforts to slow Iran's nuclear weapons programme are doomed to fail.
Pentagon and CIA officers say they believe that the White House has begun a carefully calibrated programme of escalation that could lead to a military showdown with Iran.
Now it has emerged that Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, who has been pushing for a diplomatic solution, is prepared to settle her differences with Vice-President Dick Cheney and sanction military action.
In a chilling scenario of how war might come, a senior intelligence officer warned that public denunciation of Iranian meddling in Iraq - arming and training militants - would lead to cross border raids on Iranian training camps and bomb factories. Read More »

Yes, this appears to be his message in a speech later today, in which he will defend his handling of the war in preparation of the September White House report by comparing it to the Vietnam War. It's an odd message for the White House, given the history. For that Josh Marshall has the details.
But even more, it's such a reversal from everything this administration has ever said about the subject. My favorite example, in April 2004 at a press conference:
Q Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, April is turning into the deadliest month in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad, and some people are comparing Iraq to Vietnam and talking about a quagmire. Polls show that support for your policy is declining and that fewer than half Americans now support it. What does that say to you and how do you answer the Vietnam comparison? Read More »
