I am a Yaqui Indian/Chicano/Vietnam Vet/Sonoran Desert/State of Arizona/Business Consultant/20 years experience in LATAM. Advocate for the Sweat Lodge of the Grand Compromise.
This past Tuesday, Devilstower over at DailyKos suggested that Democrats should extract themselves from the issue of gaming with the possible anticipation that in doing so, would bring forth a possible cadre of evangelicals, and thereby improving the electoral chances for Democrats in November of next year. Devilstower's article is titled, "Double Down Nation" and I suggest that you wander over to DailyKos and take a gander to get your full value for political Thought and Action.
And since I am not a member of DailyKos but I am a member of the mydd, thusly, I offer my rebuttal. However, be advised that this effort was posted earlier today at the "Cactus Juice Commentaries" at www.chicanoveterans.org and which is focused on issues important to military veterans. So, follow me below the fold, and enjoy
Chris Bowers has posted here and at his site, Open Left, an interesting and provacative contrast for politics. And given that Bob Herbert, a columnist for one of America's biggest newspapers with his take on the history of Republican behavior in which he tosses both Ronald Reagan and Lee Atwater into the dust bin of history, merits an affirming response on my part.. I too think I should make it known that 'non-issues' is an equally important tool for measuring our political participation, as well.
So, follow me over the 'jump', and learn a tad more on
an innovative approach to conceptual history or for Sonoran Desert 'creationism' of 30 years ago. :-)

Our "Open Letter" to Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid
"Immigration: Challenging Orthodoxy"
Should the Democrats ever decide to address Immigration Reform with a tad of intelligence and effectiveness, then, we, as Democrats, have to start owning, maintaining, and defending the high Moral Ground in this contentious and public debate. And if not, it's more than likely that the tunnel rats of opposition will wreak havoc and any concentrated efforts will be for nil. Needless to say, but we will, the high Moral Ground will be destroyed out from under our feet.
