So I posted a joy filled Political blog and am targeted as a spammer.
I am very dejected because I really was excited to blog about politics and how happy I am to finally have a president that I am proud of and support.
I guess the robots at blogger.com are republicans and perceive a blazingly liberal socialist green democrat as a threat to society so they froze my blog.
I am now very frustrated because I feel censored and silenced.
By the way my blog's contain no "links" to outside sources and contain no material other then my very own heart felt words.

We DID IT!
November 4th, 2008
Barack Obama is the next president of our great nation!
I have worked in small ways and big ways for this campaign since the early days of the primary season! I cried the night Obama won the Iowa Caucasus; tears much like tonight of joy, anticipation, and a twinge of disbelief.
On a broader level I have awaited this moment since I was in kindergarten and Reagan beat Carter, I was the lone child who voted for Carter that year.
I grew up during the Reagan Era and came of age as the first Bush was fighting the gulf war.
Many times as I was growing up I felt like I must of been born in the wrong era, tonight I finally feel like I was born into the right time and place.
I have been an environmentalist since I was old enough to understand that the earth was a living planet and that humans had an impact on it.
I have been a progressive at my core on every level since I began thinking about how the world works and realized that social justice was constantly under fire from society. I have fought for social justice, for progressive education, and yes for real change since I was barely an adolescent.
I joined the Huron Valley Green's when I was 12 years old and remained a dedicated member through high school and into college.
I entered college on a platform of being and becoming a change agent in the world, perhaps not surprisingly I went to Oberlin College as an undergraduate.
I supported Bill Clinton although I was not quite old enough to vote for him in 1992. As an Oberlin College first year student I was critical of many of the moderate positions of Clinton even during those first months.
This may be a center-right country, but I have been a far left Green Progressive Democrat since I was not even a teenager.
As I turned 18 and watched Clinton fail to stand by his promise of Universal Health care, I stopped believing in him. I was always a fan of his VP AL Gore and his dedication to the ecological well being of our planet. I thought Hillary Clinton Rocked through most of the Bill Clinton era, this faded fast as she stopped fighting with passion for what she believed in at the beginning.
I voted for Bill Clinton for his second term, my first presidential election I could vote in although I was already 21, and I did so with major reservations as I voted for a moderate who was no longer fighting for any of my liberal values. As I graduated from Oberlin College I was as much a Progressive Liberal Green Democrat as the day I began college, if not more.
I voted for Al Gore in 2000 despite the fact that I did not trust Joe Lieberman (clearly in hindsight for good reason). I cried for several days after the election was stolen from us in Florida. As a PhD student at the University of Minnesota I took solace in becoming a strong Wellstone supporter as I mourned the loss of the 200 election.
I cried even harder when September 11th, 2001 occurred as most of the country did, I am a child of New York City and this tore at my soul. I mourned the loss of our country and my own innocence in the waning days of 2001. That day is the day I began to seek other ways to find change in our society and for hope in this world. Yet I did not feel the need to stand behind a clearly militaristic President Bush. I understood Afghanistan and the need to pursue Osama Bin Laden. I was angry and disenchanted from the moment Iraq was thrown into the discussion. The mess that it is was clear to me before it even began.
I was devastated in 2002 Wellstone, his wife, and some of my professor's who were his campaign aids tragically died in a plane crash. As if to throw salt on the wound Norm Coleman won the election that year for senate in a race that should have been won by Paul Wellstone.
To be honest in 2004 I supported Howard Dean even after he lost his temper.
I joined Move-On.org as soon as it was up and running online.
I pounded the pavement literally with an infant to get out the vote for John Kerry in 2004 in Minnesota. I was heart broken when he lost. Kerry was too moderate for me as well, but I would have been very happy for him to win.
