I’ve had several requests for this video of Doug Stanhope’s speech at the controversial April 2 Bisbee City Council meeting, but it was standing room only when I got there. Thanks to my friend Tami Birch for getting me in.

PREACH IT, MARIE--at Bisbee City Council Votes Yes on Civil Unions http://youtu.be/_6gRO8wvGOA

After two hours of Old Testament quotes and predictions of blight and bestiality, the first person to speak in favor of Bisbee civil unions dropped her prepared speech and spoke from the heart.  Yes, the Spirit WAS in the room that night.

Recount  Fails to Change Outcome

http://www.mohavedailynews.com/articles/2012/09/18/news/local/doc5058270219d3e836215073.txt


Thank you to everyone who stood up for me and stood up for progressive values. I  believe my campaign is about ideas that matter. And virtually half of the Democrats in AZ's Fourth Congressional District agreed. Join me as we reach out to that other half to unite with us to change our world. Share your voice, make a better world.

(The Art of  Campaign Signage)


---------------
 
I am calling for a return to the ideas of the Preamble of the Constitution: unity, tranquility, justice, providing for a common defense and promoting the general welfare. I believe our country and our existing political process has been hijacked by the radical right and turned against the public interest for their own personal and political gain. I am a reform/protest candidate calling for a return to concepts of ethics in economics, social justice and equality of infrastructure. Win or lose, this message must go on--
For the last 40 years our country has been dominated by an extreme Republican Right. And they are dead wrong for America. Their experts claim to know what they're talking about, but they obviously don't know what they're doing. WMDs, deregulation, slashing social services, destroying education, militarizing the economy with tax cuts for their friends, poverty for the rest of us and all the while stifling the majority for their zealots and bigots. They're running scared, trying to turn back time. I want a country for the world we live in today. I want us to build a future. America is changing. Share your voice--
