Time to show leadership by reaching out to Lieberman

I know this will not go over well with many hard-liners, but by pushing to reach out to senators like Lieberman (i.e. forgiving him) will make the next 4 years move a lot smoother. Especially without the 60+ seat majority you can expect the Republican party to try to entrench.

Obama's Accomplishments Ad

We need an ad that clearly shows the American people Obama's accomplishments because the Republican party is trying to convince everyone that he has done nothing. The ad should show the bills Obama supported and passed such as bills increasing transparency in government and working against nuclear proliferation, both of which included cooperation with Republicans.

Challenge John McCain to vote on climate bill

John McCain's website describes himself as "a leader on the issue of global warming".

The League of Conservation voters gave John McCain a ZERO score for 2007, because he missed every one of the 15 votes the group used to compile its ranking.

Next week, the Senate will be voting on a landmark bill, that imposes mandatory limits on greenhouse gases.
