Did McCain really drop his entire campaign staff and is this a good move?



In a startling move that he hopes might energize his stumbling campaign, John McCain announced that he will no longer use advisors.

“I was spending more time separating myself from their comments than I was listening to their advice,” said McCain, acting as his own press secretary who he had just fired minutes before. “And (top economic advisor Phil) Gramm’s ‘nation of whiners,’ ‘only a mental recession’ comments, were the straws that broke the camel’s back. Look, when I said that ‘Phil Gramm doesn’t speak for me. I speak for me,’ I realized it would just save time if I actually did that.”

In a blind email sent to his entire staff, McCain wrote, “My friends, it is with deep regret and deeper gratitude for your dedication, hard work and friendship, that I accept your resignation that I expect on my desk by the end of the day.”

i need help in funding a campaign to educate young people about ills of cigarette smoking. who can help? TY?



i work in a local FM radio station as a cause-oriented DJ. i have been using my radio persona as leverage in sending out the right information to my listeners. i have started a campaign recently to do exhibits, do a 1 hour blocktime radio program for a group i call: SMOKERS ANONYMOUS, about smoking and the whys of quitting. people have responded so well. a lot have stopped smoking because of the program. the problem is i cannot personally sustain the program due to airtime fees. i have invested my time and my savings for this cause. i badly need help right now.. im in the process of creating a website for people to know of my project, and to seek for help in funding. please, if you know somebody who wants to help, kindly email me at: synergyevents@yahoo.com.ph
