Brennan For Congress PDF Print E-mail

Our best days as a country, and as a party, have been when our leaders took bold steps and challenged the status quo. It is how we have always overcome our biggest problems.That legacy also reminds us that our party has lost its way. Too often we have responded to the problems of everyday Americans with timidity and political expediency. Too often we have let the forces of the status quo overcome the calls for action.  I am running for Congress because I believe we can solve our biggest problems – but only if we embrace the philosophy captured by US Senator Paul Wellstone’s command to “Do Right by People.” That means we need to cast aside the calculations and just simply do what we think is right based on how we can help people.

     Our best days as a country have been when our leaders took bold steps and challenged the status quo. It is how we have always overcome our biggest problems. Too often we have responded to the problems of everyday Americans with timidity and political expediency.

    Too often we have let the forces of the status quo overcome the calls for action. Michael is running for Congress because he believes we can solve our biggest problems. He is an avid stand for peace, opportunity and community. 

     I first took on updating this site then I rebuilt tthe entire site to suit the campaign needs. This is a wordpress template that is modified with a xml slideshow, php image rotator for supporter spotlight, dhtml wc3 optimized, and son of suckerfish dropdown menus. I also modified an open source newletter mangager (phplist)for their mailing list of 20,000 people. The site has had millions of hits and I am proud of the work I did for the campaign. Today is the primary I am confident he will win and that this will be a huge victory for the people of Maine and the United States at large. 

 
Tesla Tech PDF Print E-mail

6teslatechsm.jpg  The minds we venerate in the history books today often gained their momentum from the toil of the unsung heroes. History is written by these victorious elite and the heroes are forgotten. Yet change is rooted in revolution and no revolution is ever begun anew(it has roots)it simply begins where it left off. One of these unsung was Nikola Tesla.

His work has inspired and is still being researched, used and revisited today. Since the early seventies Steve Elswich, organizer for Tesla Tech, has worked to keep Tesla's research alive. This site is dedicated to TESLA'S TECHNOLOGY! Advanced Energy Concepts/Devices, Magnetic Motors, Health Supplements, Alternative Medicine, other previously SUPPRESSED information.

 
 
The Meg Perry Center PDF Print E-mail

1megperrycentersm.jpg The Meg Perry Center is dedicated to educational exchange and social action, so that individuals and our community may be empowered to work for peace and justice. The space is a collaboration between Peace Action Maine and the Foglight Collective. 

    This site is built in Wordpress. The center hosts the server which host many of the other sites in my profile. Meg Perry was an energetic, passionate, kind and dedicated person. Meg went down to the Gulf Coast region to assist in Hurricane Relief efforts in September 2006, she returned to organize more people to go down to the region and they travelled down on the Frida Bus. In her last weeks in this world, Meg worked to support people whose lives were torn apart by the hurricanes. She cleaned people’s homes, cleared trees from roofs, read stories to kids, distributed supplies, met with other relief workers and organizers, and tilled up soil for a community garden. Meg died in glory, living life to its fullest and following her passion and visions.

Her life is an inspiration to all. Meg Perry’s death is a major tragedy and loss for all of our communities and she will be sorely missed. We are dedicated to carrying on her spirit as we work to make the world a more beautiful place.

 

 
Fontenot Amedee Edwards Family PDF Print E-mail

4faedwardssm.jpg     I am so grateful for my sister. Her marriage to Blaine Edwards left me with a completely different perspective. I was given the gift of seeing family and friends I have not seen in a decade or more celebrating each other and the love that we all share.

    I realized that I have wasted my time being busy. I can choose to make one five minute phone call to family and create that love, honor, and gratitude or just be busy doing the same old things.

     This site was created as a wedding present to Blaine and Anna. The site will serve as a celebration of the lives of Fontenot Amedee's and Edwards.
