| Portable Air Conditioner For Sale Someone asks which do I prefer, cold winter months, or hot summer months. I answered cold winter months as I can always put on more clothing when I’m cold, but when its hot, its just hot! Often times, there is not enough clothing to be removed when you’re hot, you just suffer with the heat. Last summer, our swamp cooler was not as cool or cold as we would have preferred, so while out at Home Depot, my husband purchased a portable air conditioner for $450. Because I loathe hot weather, I didn’t mind the expense at the time, but then when a week or so later we noticed a swamp cooler for just $200, we couldn’t help but to pounce on the deal. We purchased the swamp cooler, but it had to sit in our garage until we could get help with installation and once installed, we were sitting in a nice cool paradise. Now that we have the new breezy swamp cooler we do not feel a need for the portable air conditioner and have decided to put it up for sale. With less than 30 days of usage, it is still brand new and works like a charm and although we paid $450, we are selling it for $300. Take a look at the pictures and note its condition; without a knick or scrape. Give us a call if you are interested in purchasing for the summer of 2007. Its cold now, but this cool down will only last a couple of more months or at least until April or May when the heat wave strikes. |

| Hillary for president??? Although I believe that someday Mrs. Clinton would make a great U.S. president, I do not believe America has reached a place of acceptance for a woman president. I do not believe that SOMEDAY will be in 2008, but perhaps 2012. I believe Mrs. Clinton would be better in reaching and educating voters in her knowledge of both foreign and domestic affairs. I believe she needs to continue her current political stance in order to convince voters that she is capable in running this Country. Of course it would be much better than what it currently is, but I do not believe America is ready for a female - no, not YET! We have not reached that point. So far, my opinion stands:
MRS. Hillary Clinton for president? NO, not yet! |

| Sheehan considers challenge to Pelosi CRAWFORD, Texas - Six weeks after announcing her departure from the peace movement, Cindy Sheehan said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks. Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch. "Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership," Sheehan told The Associated Press. "We hired them to bring an end to the war. I'm not too far from San Francisco, so it wouldn't be too big of a move for me. I would give her a run for her money." Sheehan announced in May that she was leaving the anti-war movement and selling her 5-acre Crawford lot. She said that she felt her efforts had been in vain and that she had endured smear tactics and hatred from the left, as well as the right. |

| CRAWFORD, Texas - Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks. Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch. "Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership," Sheehan told The Associated Press. "We hired them to bring an end to the war. I'm not too far from San Francisco, so it wouldn't be too big of a move for me. I would give her a run for her money." Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said the congresswoman has said repeatedly that her focus is on ending the war in Iraq. "She believes that the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home safely and soon," Daly said in an e-mail to the AP. "July will be a month of action in Congress to end the war, including a vote to redeploy our troops by next spring." The White House declined to comment on Sheehan's plans. She plans her official candidacy announcement Tuesday. Sunday wrapped up what is expected to be her final weekend at the 5-acre Crawford lot that she sold to California radio talk show host Bree Walker, who plans to keep it open to protesters. "The land itself has historical value," Walker said. "It is the first people's movement of the 21st century, and it needs to be kept as the hallowed ground that it is." Sheehan announced in late May that she was leaving the anti-war movement. She said that she felt her efforts had been in vain and that she had endured smear tactics and hatred from the left, as well as the right. She said she wanted to change course. She first came to Crawford in August 2005 during a Bush vacation, demanding to talk to him about the war that killed her son Casey in 2004. She became the face of the anti-war movement during her 26-day roadside vigil, which was joined by thousands. But it also drew counter-protests by Bush supporters, many who said she was hurting troop morale. Sheehan, who has never held political office, recently said that she was leaving the Democratic Party because it "caved" in to the president. Last week, she announced her caravan to Washington, an undertaking she calls the "people's accountability movement." "I didn't expect to be back so soon, but the focus is different than it was before," Sheehan said Sunday. "Instead of talking and making accusations, we're going into communities and talking to the people who've been hurt by the Bush regime. We're finding out how we can help people." Sheehan, who will turn 50 on Tuesday, said Bush should be impeached because she believes he misled the public about the reasons for going to war, violated the Geneva Convention by torturing detainees, and crossed the line by commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. She said other grounds for impeachment are the domestic spying program and the "inadequate and tragic" response to Hurricane Katrina. Libby was convicted of lying and obstructing justice in an investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity. Sheehan said she hopes Pelosi files the articles of impeachment so Sheehan can move onto her next projects, including overseas trips for humanitarian work. But if not, Sheehan said she is ready to run for office. "I'm doing it to encourage other people to run against Congress members who aren't doing their jobs, who are beholden to special interests," Sheehan said. "She (Pelosi) let the people down who worked hard to put Democrats back in power, who we thought were our hope for change." Pelosi was elected to the House in 1987 and became the first female speaker in January. Sheehan said she lives in a Sacramento suburb but declined to disclose which city, citing safety reasons. The area is outside Pelosi's district, but there are no residency requirements for congressional members, according to the California secretary of state's office. |
