IM2Opinionated - Common sense views on politics

To all supporters, The petition is still building momentum and now the organization MoveOn is getting behind it by offering to assist in my efforts to reach out to like-minded individuals who hope for a brighter furture.  I intend to deliver this petition to progressive organizations (ie. MoveOn, Democracy for America, etc) to build a consensus about Senator Ted Cruz and the harm he and others like him are causing our great country.  If anyone out there can suggest or recommend any other influential sources to which I should deliver this petition, please feel free to let me know. At this time, I am preparing press releases to announce these effort and hopefully garner interest from local and national news media.  What I need from you guys is to continue to share the link for this petition ( http://bit.ly/FireTedCruz ), because we don't need Ted Cruz gaining traction in any way, shape or form.  He has shown that he is not worthy to hold a position of leadership, at

Feeney or even a more modest amount of philanthropy like Bill and Melinda Gates (which is still extraordinary), it would make sense, but t

So the republicans don't seem to mind Todd Akin's offensive remarks about what he calls "Legitimate Rape".  If they were truly opposed to what he said, why would they now be getting behind his campaign.  The GOP is corrupt and they aren't even good at hiding this fact. While the say their new voter ID laws are to prevent voter fraud, the only cases of fraud being investigated are those created by consulting agencies employed by the RNC.  They continue to promote the idea of Trickle down, while this practice has only led to more inequality and wealth redistribution, which, by the way, they say they are opposed to so adamantly.  The idea of withholding emergency funds after a disaster comes from one of the leaders (Eric Cantor) of the republican party.  Their candidate for president is for lower taxes on the wealthy and higher taxes for the middle class down.  The list goes on and on and on and the republican tactic is to push a bunch of bills that the public o
