Christine Rampone is the Ninth Captain of the US Women’s Soccer [Football] Team in its 23 history after illustrious Captains such as Denise Bender, April Heinrichs, Lori Henry, Michelle Akers, Carla Overbeck, Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett and Kristine Lilly.

The reason has been the announcement by Kristine Lilley that she will be taking time away from Soccer [Football] in order to have a family. Before continuing, I would like to express my best wishes to Kristine Lilly in her desire to have a family.

Christine Rampone has been one of the institutions of US Women’s Soccer [Football] since her debut in 1997. With the exception of 2002 [because of an inury] and 2005 [she wanted to start a family.

In her career, Christine Rampone has 148 of the 176 games she played after graduating from a Soccer [Football] Academy in Monmouth University located at West Long Branch, New Jersey. Christine Rampone has been declared the most capped player for the Four Nations Tournament in China for the year 2008. She will start her period as Captain with her first game USA VS Canada on the 16th of January 2008.

After a great start in 2007, it is refreshing to see that the US Women’s Soccer [Football] Team has a new Head Coach and Captain. It is also great that Christine Rampone is Captain. While every Captain has their era, the Rampone Era will be the beginning of taking the US Women’s Soccer [Football] Team to places that have never been imagined.

I would like to wish the US Women’s Soccer [Football] Team as well as the US Soccer [Football] Team as a whole the best of luck in the world. For those who like to criticize, my response is that I want the US Soccer [Football] Team to advance and become a team for the 21st Century.

I am convinced that while the US Soccer [Football] Team may not be at par with European Teams, it has the potential to advance and write its own history in Football [Soccer]. These are processes that take time.

Over the last weeks, I have pulled money and staff from my re-election campaign to help bolster the visibility of our push for hearings. In a perfect world, we would not have to do this ourselves, and instead the mainstream media would play its proper role. Believe me, I would much rather be reporting to you the progress of the hearings, or working on our cross examination of Karl Rove.

Unfortunately, we're not there yet. Many of you have emailed expressing frustration at this reality. I share your feelings and your anger.

That said, positive developments have arisen in recent days. Just this week, the ACLU of Florida, George McGovern, and Ralph Nader have endorsed impeachment.

I still need your help – and now I want to expand this effort even further.

I am in the process of a major Internet advertising buy on Google that will guarantee that this week every person that looks up "Dick Cheney" and other related keywords sees an advertisement for our petition. With your help we can own "Cheney" on the web.

In addition, we've already begun to publish blog ads, such as you see to the right, throughout the web to galvanize Americans in support of our cause. (You may have to right mouse click and select "Download Pictures" to see the ad).

It is time to reach beyond those that are regular readers of the political blogs, and expand the number of people mobilized to help push for impeachment hearings. The truth is that the number of Americans who support our efforts is immense and we need to do everything possible to reach out to them and maximize our strength.

Our new push - which I realize is only an extension of the early work of so many of you - is gaining support. I hope you realize that it's not just another petition, but something being driven from within Congress.
In fact, when Congress reconvenes next week, I will deliver the hundreds of thousands of names we have collected to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee and I will do everything I can do to convince them to support immediate impeachment hearings

We must now redouble our efforts to ensure that Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration are held accountable.

In order to continue funding this effort we need your help. Please consider making a financial contribution to help us expand our advertising advocating impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney. Your help will go a long way toward stopping the out-of-control Bush Administration.

A pesar de las acusaciones del equipo aumentando la puntuacion en la temporada y el escandalo de los videos, los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra sigue siendo un equipo de futbol americano fuerte debido a su diciplina, organizacion, y deseos de vencer obstaculos. Incluso, han ganado todos los juegos de la temporada regular por la sangre, sudor, y lagrimas de sus esfuerzos.

Los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra tienen jugadores como Brady, Gutierrez, y Seau que son los decanos contemporaneos de este equipo. El Presidente de Los Patriotas cuyo apellido es Kraft aporto su sabiduria y su dinero de sus empresas para ayudar los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra. Ese dinero [ademas para ayudar el equipo] va para ayudar a los demas que no tienen oportunidades. Los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra visitan a los colegios y lugares de bajo recursos para ense~nar el futbol americano a la juventud y para ense~narle que existe una vida mas alla de las drogas, y las pandillas.

While it is undeniable that the New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick was punished by the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell with a $250,000 fine and ordered to forfeit the top draft choice in the next draft, there is no denying that the New England Patriots have a well organized team. It is like a machine with Bill Belichick as Coach, Robert Kraft as Owner, and players such as Tom Brady, Matt Gutierrez, and Junior Seau.

The New England Patriots are a team that has had the discipline, the tenacity, the will, and I have a feeling that behind the team, there is a sense of community with family. Of course, there are exceptions to the rules.

After a careful evaluation of the statistics of the New England Patriots, I think that they have won all of their games fair and square. They have also learned from the videotaping scandal, I hope. The people who are criticizing should at least recognize that in addition to history being made, what occurred has passed, justice was served, lessons were learned, and we should be thinking ahead.

On the 12th of January 2008 at 8:00PM Miami Time, The New England Patriots are going to play the Jacksonville Jaguars for the AFC Divisional Playoff at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts. While I will support the Jacksonville Jaguars, I am willing to predict a victory by the New England Patriots based on their willingness to play under pressure and of course, a hometown advantage should not be discounted.

As for running up the scoreboard, as I am writing about the New England Patriots [on the 12th of January 2008 at 7:45PM Miami Time], WSVN Channel 7 News [A Fox Affiliate] announced that the Green Bay Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 42 to 20. It also appears that if my predication for the New England Patriots are true, there is the possibility of the New England Patriots will face the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl.

On the 12th of January 2008 at 11:10PM Miami Time, The New England Patriots defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20 after a long and exciting game in which Jacksonville equalized the game at times. It was an unforgettable experience to see on TV and there is no doubt that New England Patriots is a tried and tested team. There was no proof of running up the scoreboard.

Another Comic Satire aimed at the US Elite of Washington and Hollywood.

The Republican and Democratic Elite in Washington and Hollywood have violated the cardinal rule in America of "If It Is Not Broken, Do Not Fix It". The Republican and Democratic Elite in Washington and Hollywood remind me of the story of King Midas in reverse. For those who have read King Midas, King Midas was the King whose touch turned everything into gold.

The Republican and Democratic Elite in Washington and Hollywood have turned everything they touch from the Economy to Iraq into Disasters. The Republicans and Democrats Elite in Washington and Hollywood are Midas in reverse because they suffer from the fact that they are disasters.

The proof has been in the mismanagement of an economy using over regulation. The USA now has more debt than the countries of Asia, Latin America, and Africa combined. It takes all of the Republicans and Democratic in Washington to spend our hard earned money that we give them to buy themselves a Ten Million Dollar Toilet Complete with a Ten Million Dollar Plunger and a Ten Million Dollar Plumber. It also takes the Republican and Democratic Elite in Hollywood to take our hard earned money to celebrate the Ten Million Dollar Toilet, Ten Million Dollar Plunger, with Julia Roberts, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie playing the role of the Ten Million Dollar Plumber.

The Republican and Democratic Elite in Washington and Hollywood now want "We" the people of America to clean up the one hundred and fifty years of manure left by them. It is about time that "We" the people of America tell them to clean up their mess. The first thing is to force the resignation of Bush, Cheney, and members of the current government by impeachment or other peaceful proceedings before this waste of money called the US Elections. We should have a National Unity Government of National Concentration and Decentralization lead by Libertarians and Greens with the Elections going on as scheduled [but on a budget for all political parties].

The Republicans, Democrats, Communists, Nazis, and Racists should be made to do restitution by doing the work of undocumented workers [illegal aliens]. Let us add Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie to the group and call it "Life on the Farms" with an all star cast of our Politicians and the Hollywood Elite receiving what they deserve by working the fields.

We can even throw in some slapstick comedy by throwing rotten tomatoes, eggs, and manure of all type at them. After all, our US Elite our clowns by nature trying to act as something they are not. The same applies to the Hollywood Elite. We should also have the common people as their bosses as reassurance that these people do their work as they are told to do and not whine about it.

I could imagine Richard Gere attempting to meditate with Nancy Pelosi, Julia Roberts and Mike Huckabee about the significance of the manure around them and even thinking it is Channel Number Five.

Another slapstick comedy we could add is the sound of flatulence when they open their mouth. If you do not understand this, they are filmed working and talking. The people who do the dubbing and the writers who are in the Writers Guild of America Strike could add some sound effects of flatulence to the film section of when they open their mouth.

Other proposals would be to confiscate the bank accounts of Republicans, Democrats, Communists, Nazis, Racists, and the US Elite in Washington and Hollywood in order to help pay off the debt and to redistribute to those whose money was taken from them by the Tax Monster. It would also be great to do the same thing with the Wall Street Journal. This would not be a Government Initiative, it would be an initiative taken by the people of the USA themselves.

I do not have the solutions to the problems but I am willing to think that the difference between the US Elite in Washington DC and Hollywood and a bucket of manure is the manure itself.
