week of sept 16


hello dear regulators
missed a couple of weeks

schoolhouse got me rolling
had to find a new groove

this is a high maintenance project
who got time, who got energy

for high maintenance

bummer about the mo video, the
riots and the deaths

whereas romney video has shown
us what he really thinks, finally

obama maintaining small lead

im hoping he takes ronmey
to school during the debates

old boy clinton stepped up
during the convention, didnt it

big dog still got some bite
dont know what to say about

some black preachers telling
their flocks not to vote

to a vet of the civilrights
movement, thats a felony

all my love

COMMENTARY by rickydoc  8/27

its an important election, if GOP wins
they will implement draconian
social

vision & be even more committed
to
political strats
that degrade the social

contract, they not only have to be
defeated, they
have to be repudiated,

they have to be
discredited - 1 election
wont do that but a win here is critical

nov 2012 will be about turnout
not exactly our strong suit, a fact

they betting on w/their little voter
repression strategies, got to

finesse that w/a strong turnout
we got to maintain

politics more than just voting
politics full court press

all my love
