Hey, I'm pretty excited - my op-ed piece got picked up by "The Cutting Edge" on-line paper!! They put it in the "Letters" section. Here's the link.

Many of you already read it when it appeared in "The Chattanoogan" but I'm happy to report that it made it elsewhere! :D
I'm working on another piece right now. We'll see if it gets picked up anywhere.
In the bit of "bio" at the end they said I had no prior experience or involvement in politics which isn't quite true but I'm not arguing with them!!!

sure hope it wakes up the folks in America... especially SUPERDELEGATES who are now going to try to FORCE HILLARY to quit... collectively endorsing BO in NC sooner than later... HAVE they lost their minds??? HOW CAN THEY SELL OUT AMERICA ??? can this article be sent to all the superdelegates?
I gave my last $20.00 I went the max for HIllARY and NEVER gave for any previous candidate ever... sure want this election to be about democracy however it appears to be revealing everything else...
Hillary all the way to WHITE HOUSE

Excellent. By the way there is a poll on the right side of your article... is BO telling the truth re Wright...etc... So far the NOs have it..... Looking forward to your next article...

That's great! Where else did this get published. I hope in upcoming states. I think it should be sent on to the news and anyone else who might pay attention.
I wonder if the blog at Hillary Clinton main site is some of the slow down in raising funds. If so, I wonder what can be done to fix the problem. It seems she could raise money easier and faster when everyone was able to participate over there.

Man, that's a great article! It's been quoted here so I've read parts of it before, but never in its entirety. So darn impressive!!!
I love the attribution too. Describing yourself as an ordinary citizen who's never been involved in politics is beautiful. It makes you real and believable, especially in contrast to the blatant bias from all those assinine pundits.

The only other place it was picked up outside of "The Cutting Edge" is in "The Chattanoogan" in TN. I've put it out to TONS of media but many of them won't accept op-eds from an "outsider" so to speak. I'm starting another piece now and will see what happens with it. I'm also thinking about starting a website of my own.
Thanks for the compliments. Send it out to all your friends, etc. I did send it out to a friend of mine back East that is an Obama supporter (the poor delusional thing) and she was PI$$ED!! Called me an angry racist. Huh???? I didn't even bother to discuss it any further with her. Probably can write her off as a friend though. Oh well, it's her loss. I have found most Oblahma supporters to be that way, i.e., say anything derogatory about him and they drop you like a hot potato. Works for me!! :-)

Great work. Obama supports have Wright blindness so it's good to get opinion pieces like yours published.
