Soi won't do the Muslim thing exclusively . I tried searching for ways to help,but I couldn't really find anything. I'm new to political activism really so how can I help? I'm in va so I can't really do anything in person too often. Suggestions? Thanks

A friend and I are interested in helping out the campaign for Dr. Rand Paul. We're in Virginia, so we can't vote, but he's one of the few major candidates we support so I thought we'd help out any way possible. I'm wondering if there are any Muslim supporters of Paul here or elsewhere with...

Please donate. I already have. And last Sat., I voted early as well. I should remind you, or inform you if you do not know yet, that Lawson is reporting that the poll workers are extremely effective at converting voters before they go into the polls. So every dollar that you are able to give...

I've always had a decent amount of respect for the man, Kucinich, because he seems like a very reasonable and trustworthy fellow - at least compared to his company on both sides of the aisle. Anyone who attains the ire of the media jumps up a notch in my book.

Don't for my guy - BJ Lawson. NC CD4. I think BJ Lawson is an amazing candidate. He's running in a very liberal part of NC, the part that could get Obama the state. Last two elections went 60+% for David Price, who's running this year again. But BJ's environmental and sustainability...

Of course not. Libertarians and conservatives absolutely love the Soviets and other communists. Right Cuz it's not like the Soviets were involved in Afghanistan at all. Oh wait...Nor were they involved in the Caspian Basin...oh wait, they were: TWICE. Those must have had nothing to do with...

Nitrogen injection works like other injection programs. Gas goes in, pressure rises, oil pumps out. But with most injection programs, the average rate of decline of the production rate (the negative acceleration) is around 5% or so after peak production. So if peak production, say for Prudhoe...

You're pretty dense, aren't ya? I just got through saying that there are too many people that will believe hype rather than look into the facts and counterarguments. Have you ever considered a possibility for WHY you may want to pump natural gas back into the field? The reason has to do with...

http://www.petroleumnews.com/pntruncate/359622793.shtml Peak production from Kuparuk was 320,000 bpd. Ultimately recoverable oil is expected to be 2.6 bln barrels. However, Lindsey claimed that it was twice the size of Prudhoe Bay. But Prudhoe Bay is 25 bln barrels and had a peak production...

I'm always a bit dismayed by the anti-intellectual, specifically anti-scientific, attitude of many conservatives. So many people seem to be willing to believe in conspiracy theories rather than learn basic facts about the world. You see this, in this issue, in people believing in Lindsey...

I know it's kinda silly, but I remember doing one of those "What's your political ideology?" quizzes and then they would give your rating for conservative vs. liberal and libertarian vs. authoritarian, etc and they actually had Gravel as one of the more libertarian candidates, a good amount so...

So let's assume that we split the Thompson vote, assuming again that he drops out. He's been averaging around 10-11% nationwide. So if we can get half of those votes, that pushes us up nearly double digits, giving us very strong support in many Super Tuesday events, possibly some outright wins...

You do realize that when they say "11%" that they don't mean "11.0000000%", right? And that it can actually be 10.5% and then 11.49%, right? And that Ron Paul's numbers could be oscillating around 8.5%, so that a slight change in percentage of precincts reporting could change his polls between...

If there's one good thing about this caucus, it's that we learned he garnered the most support from Independents, not McCain. 29% to 23% for McCain and downhill from there. He also garnered more than half of the crowd that is angry at Bush. Look at Party ID The bad news, aside from not...

I'm not sure if this fits very well, it might. I can't find a better suited thread for it. So I've seen some videos on Youtube of rallies and such in which groups are seen on street corners handing out pocket Constitutions. So what I was thinking was maybe a more long term effort, outside of...
