Women for Obama daily message digest
Misinformation on large message boards, that are geared towards women
Posted by Penny Arnold:
Hi, I belong to the largest scrapbooking board on the internet. I believe it is being targeted by Republican's who are trying to misinform other women against President Obama, and the AHA. Here is just a recent sample of what has been going on: [url] you do not have to be a member to read these posts, but you do have to be a member to post a reply. I have posted several replies in support of the AHA, and President Obama, but I cannot do this alone, and too often I am in way over my head trying to correct their misinformation. Is there anyone here that has any suggestions, or factual things I can post to help clear up these lies? I believe that women's sites are being targeted because Romney is doing so poorly with them, as a group. My name on the message board at the site is: look4angel. Thanks, you can email me back at: [email] I would appreciate any information that anyone can give me to help fight back. Thanks Penny

How Do We Inform the Misinformed
Posted by Robin Westbrook:
I have hit this issue on my FB page, on my FB group pages, in my blog and in numerous letters to the editor of different newspapers. I have also sent complaint emails to TV producers and executives at CNN, MSNBC, FOX and the major networks. I received form letters in return, saying nothing while assuring me of their objectivity and honesty.
I was standing in line at the checkout in a local supermarket and, sure enough, there was a cheap tabloid, Globe "news," staring me in the face with a big "breaking news" banner that claimed the man who "created a counterfeit birth record" for the POTUS had been caught. Ignorant people believe this stuff because it is in print. I wanted to empty that rack of every one of those issues of tripe but I couldn't afford to. This constant barrage of outright lies is frustrating!
We need to counter every lie with the truth. I am a senior, disabled and home-bound. I want to reach as many people as I can. Any suggestions?

Poverty Discussion MIA
Posted by Diane H Fabian:
In his speech yesterday, the president once again emphasized that he stands with the middle class. Period. Well, who doesn't claim the same? Even progressive media won't recognize much less, address the millions of post-middle class Americans, and the millions who have always been locked out of the middle class. President Obama's only poverty-related comment was the same stuff we've been hearing for 30+ years -- all you have to do is "get up every morning, work hard and play by all the rules." A massive number of jobs have been shipped out at taxpayer expense since the '80's, including nearly all those jobs that were once the doorway out of poverty. You can't pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you have no boots. Millions are a single job loss from losing everything. How can you get a new job when you have no home address, no phone, no clean clothes/bath, no bus fare? This doesn't even touch on the unemployable. If you become disabled, you can apply for disability aid. But the length of time between filing and application and receiving the first benefits is over 3 yrs now, during which one might have no means of survival? The president pointedly declared his allegiance to those who still have jobs AND are still in the middle class, indicating that he will "stay the course," maintaining the trickle-down economics
theory. Americans need aid, not more worn-out cliches. Reality: Not everyone can work, due to health/circumstances, in this post-welfare nation, and there simply aren't enough jobs for all who desperately need one. The poor came out by the millions to vote for President Obama. There is simply no reason to vote for an agenda to help a middle class that utterly turns its back on the poor.
