Ma Ying-Jeou,
according to the event organizer Taiwan Society, approximately 300,000 people were in attendance. While China News media reported only about 40,000 in attendance.
People in Taiwan are unhappy with the President, dissatisfied with the direction of the nation, Ma's economic policies and compromises on the sovereignty of Taiwan.

Michael Turton from The View of Taiwan expresses his concerns regarding Democrat V.P. Candidate, Senator Joe Biden's support of our ally Taiwan.
Turton argues that many Taiwanese-Americans believe that Senator Biden is too pro-China, due in part to his association of Wu Sian-Piau, who has been active in Delaware politics for neatly 20 years.
Additionally and more importantly, Senator Biden has asked, "If China were to attack Taiwan, would anyone be willing to put his or her Son or Daughter in harms way to defend Taiwan?"
Taiwan is an important ally of the United States, defending freedom and democracy of Taiwan is paramount "...prudence will require Taiwanese-Americans to support McCain...Taiwan is indispensable to the maintenance of the U.S. & Japan military alliance and to the peace and stability of East Asia."

Chen wrote to Premier Wen just prior to her second operation, telling him, "...the big earthquake destroyed my home. My family that loved me so much are gone forever. Now I am a lonely bird in the mountain...Grandpa Wen, I'm going to receive another surgery soon and I'm still scared, I know you are busy but could you take some time to write me back...."

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church plan to stage an illegal protest at the funeral of Congressional Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones,
D-OH Saturday, despite a decision from the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld Ohio's Funeral Protest Law.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of the Topeka, Kansas church, challenged the Ohio law claiming it was unconstitutionally overbroad in violation of the 1st Amendment. The District Court rejected the Plaintiff's argument and on Aug 22, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the ruling.
On the 14 May I wrote here "there are NO adequate words to describe my indignation over the Press Release" which this anti-Asian Bigoted Church published, thanking God for the catastrophic Sichuan Earthquake resulting in the tragic deaths of 69,226 as of last week.
As in May, there are no adequate words that can possibley describe my disdain of these simple minded racists.

Senator Barack Hussein Obama has been sued in USDC, Pennsylvania alleging that he is constitutionally ineligible to become President. Last month I wrote here that the Birth Certificate offered as proof of Barry Obama's birth was not a true and accurate representation of a live birth certificate using 1960's technology.
Barry Obama has it within his power to immediately put this controversy to rest by simply producing a genuine birth certificate evidencing his birth in Hawaii if one actually exists?
