Podcast #31 - Sept. 14, 2008 The Speech He Should Have Given This is it!  The General Election is on and after the two conventions, I felt it was time to get into the RED meat that we did not get to hear from the big speeches. As the election gets near - GET Involved.  Work for your local campaign.  Get your friends to register.  BE ACTIVE. Please donate $5.00 dollars to help the American Red Cross during this deadly hurricane season.  There is a link to the American Red Cross at the Favorite Links section of Indirect Democracy. There is a remembrance to the victims of 9/11, the Global Warming Update, the President's Love Horoscope, a new sponsor ad, a song by the Platinum Pied Pipers and the What a Weinie Award.
