I thought that I’d get involved, for once, and volunteered to raise $500 for Barack Obama’s campaign. The idea of a third consecutive term of the policies of George W. Bush makes me want to vomit, so for me, at least, the choice is clear.

And really, I can’t think of a better point to make than McCain’s repudiation of the recent Supreme Court decision reaffirming the centuries-old right of habeas corpus.

(And when I say “centuries-old”, it actually was part of British common law by the time of the Magna Carta in 1215 — that’s old)

McCain is against it; Obama is for it. There’s no starker contrast than that.

If you were thinking about donating, or donating more, to the Obama ‘08 campaign, you’ll help me reach my goal if you use this link. You’ll ultimately end up on Obama’s site to make your donation, but I’ll get credit (”Attaboy!”) for having gotten you there.

It doesn’t have to be a whole lot of money; one of the main tenets of Obama’s candidacy is raising money from a lot of little donors, rather than a few huge donors.
