A poem.
Are we divided American Patriots because we look at the glass differently?
I am passing this along, not to endorse Mitch (he's not campaigning anymore, he's actually doing shit by the sounds of this), but because I myself was interested to read in the progress that has been made with some pretty important bills that are now laws, and some that are being re-worked. And also it seemed important to pass along the background (and future plans) behind the passage of the creation of another rainy day fund, by suspending the corporate kicker for the coming year, which I was very surprised to see pass. I think this information is important to share with others in Oregon and so I'm reposting this email so others can also get an idea of what is going on in this legislative session in Oregon.
Steadily over - exaggerated belief of commoners in the UN power, assistance provided practically and abilities-in-general greatly sustains self-overestimation of own possibilities and planetary value UN System's international bureaucrats enjoy to date worldwide with card-blanche from international community.
Following up this myth of UN System's top universality, some even non-confidential UN-related sites are for "sensitive reasons" unreachable to a broad public, from which reprint of a paper "MDG: Specific of Achievements" deliberating the billiard-dollar-UN-initiative, "The Millennium Development Goals (MDG)", might to some extent fill a gap between real and imaginary. An author suggests that math used to is simply understandable by educated even outside practicing the special higher mathematical technics.
The bitter fact is when people of the Middle -East fight for the freedom of their country, resisting invasion with all their will, all their might, courageously sacrificing their lives in order to regain autonomy, dignity and pride, they are immediately labeled "terrorists", or aligned to the "axis of evil ". Gone is the notion of noble resistance from the memory of these same people whose countries were born or liberated thanks to its freedom fighters: what applied to them simply does not for those who do not comply to their view of remodeling the world and who do not resign to their plans. The rule of double standards reigns supreme!
No freedom of religion if religion calls to war, glorifies war, presents war as inevitable or promotes the hatred of humankind.
Solidarity Protest (post anti-war protest)
Rising Tide is an international grassroots network of groups and individuals who take direct action to confront the roots causes of climate change and promote local, community-based solutions to the climate crisis. In a multi-media presentation celebrating fossil fuel resistance from around the globe, we will highlight the diversity of creative tactics that are taking a bottom-up approach to connecting the dots between OIL, WAR CORPORATE POWER, COAL and the De-STABILIZATION of the GLOBAL CLIMATE. ... with voices from the front lines of the struggle for ecological justice in the Pacific Northwest!  http://risingtidenorthamerica.org/
The Beehive is a wildly motivated all-volunteer, art-activist collective that has gained international attention and participation for its collaboratively produced graphics campaigns.

Some photos of today's march that I shot from the 10th floor of a parking garage.
At the end of the large peace March in Portland Sunday, groups of Protesters went wandering peacefully on the sidewalks to vocally let mesmerized Portland consumers know there was still a war going on (and with most deaths civilian). The Porland police repeatedly used bicycles and horses to "close" sidewalks and corral and route selectively.

Message to Bush, Ahmadinejad, Mssr. Bonaparte, Victoria Toensing, LBJ, RMN and other assorted creeps --
Unfuck the world!
The Bumblebees are up to their old pepper spraying tricks.
Tre's words, legal update, and upcoming event.
I know there are more important things like WAR, but the way we treat are underpriveliged is disgusting. Everyone should at least be aware of what went down in NW Portland.
Julie Szego, who writes for the australian AGE and also Australian Jewish News, has writtn a hatchet piece against President Ahmadinejad of Iran, in which all the old lies are trotted out. So ive written a letter to the AGE, and now will spread around the internet
Anyone notice that 300, the film about the 300 Spartans that resisted an attack by the Persians and were greatly outnumbered, is blatant propaganda about what is currently happening now??
Little is known by Congress of an unregulated private army belonging to Bush et al, by the Congress. Yet they are responsible for the escalation of violence in Iraq, the destruction of New Orleans, and are currently doing black ops in Iran. Do you want them coming to your next disaster?
is it to keep its multi billion $ contracts with Iran's government?
is it to help exploit not only Persian gulf resources, but Caspian sea resources? does this mean our military is now contracting with a foreign company for services ranging from dining to highly classified ops?
Folks, posting videos on google and YouTube is less than ideal, because controversial ones get taken down or force you to sign up to see them, AND because not everyone wants to install the latest software (Flash 7) in order to be able to watch them...
The situation in Chiapas is very tense and everyday it worsens. What we're seeing is a new policy that brings together paramilitary forces with state and federal governements, the police and the armed forces, to take away the Zapatista's land and provoke a conflict in order to justify an armed incursion.
What is the jail support number for today?
The Pentagon was the focus of a spirited Peace demonstration on March 17, 2007. The crowd in the tens of thousands heard from over 30 riveting speakers. Activist Cindy Sheehan said: "Let's stop this b... s...These b... s.... wars. It's for the corporations...to make them rich and line the pockets of the...war criminals." She added: "We're the deciders. And we have decided that we want Bush and Cheney impeached...indicted...and imprisoned."

Friends, The BLM and U.S. Forest Service released an Environmental Assessment today outlining their preliminary decision to grant a lease to Idaho General Mines for land north of Mount St. Helens. They are proposing to lease 217 acres of the approximately 900 acres the company was hoping to lease, while leaving the option for leasing the remaining 600 + acres for a later date. They are not allowing any activity on the ground and are requiring the mining company to apply for a permit (which will require a new environmental review) for exploration. You can view the EA at www.blm.gov/or/index.php
Something else is needed...
Blabbermouth Bush's Threats Against Iran, Like War In Iraq, Are Pushing Up Oil Prices
Photo of the Bend "Imagine Peace" Event, March 17
Well produced, factually/histrically accurate and truthrul portrayal of the situation in Iraq and the lies and deception that precipitated the march 2003 invasion. Gotta stop this war. Thanks Canada. We are truly in need.

Many hearty greetings from Rising Tide and the Beehive Design Collective! We're writing from Maine and here in Oregon with good news...our two organizations are joining forces this Spring to cross-pollinate the Pacific Northwest together! We hope you'll join us for an interactive, multi-media, combined presentation that celebrates fossil fuel resistance from around the globe AND embarks on a visual tour of the Beehive Collective's Graphic Trilogy about corporate globalization in the Americas (FEATURING a behind-the-scenes look at the long-anticipated MESOAMERICA RESISTE graphic, currently on the cusp of completion!). The fun start March 22nd and runs till April 7th. We'll be speaking throughout Cascadia, from Victoria, BC to Ashland, Oregon!
Hoping that Portand's march and rally will be more creatively radical, more assertive and confrontational... but even if it isn't, is it worth doing?
While the nabobs of negativism continue to nitpick about "oaths to the Constitution" or "morality", Burl Doomenauer, champion of the middle of the road, has decided to run against Gordon Smith in 2008 to support our troops and the war on terror.
There will be a screening of "Pyeongtaek: Korean Farmers' Struggle for Land" on Monday, March 19th. The farmers are at risk of being permanently excluded from their land to make way for a US Military base by the end of March.

An examination of three hypotheses concerning the evolutionary development of the bedbug
We are systematically moved to think in ways of seeing things which, if we understood, we would realize are against our own interests. Chomsky calls this "engineering of opinion". In the context of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" now being deployed upon many many children, the term and ideology supposedly encapsulating creative "crazy-*makers*" spells Soviety-style psychiatry in the USA. That is, containment and suppression of dissent.
What's with these so-called "family friendly" war protests?
we have a real chance of getting an irv bill passed by the oregon legislature.
but we need your help to do it. now. now. now.
Consider the question of indie filmmakers as freedom fighters. Every now and then, some flagrant injustice will capture the imagination of an auteur who becomes obsessed with setting things right by making a documentary. Does attention from the alternative media help people in dire situations to get out? What happens to them (and their kids) afterward?
Here's the link to the article which impressed me so much on this topic; http://earthblog.net/eb-articles/hartman24.html
Representative democracy becomes meaningless when so few citizens vote. Here is how we can fix the problem.
"The context in which my statements were made in the Washington Post was this, and I paraphrase speaking in the mind-set and in the mind of a gang member: Were you surprised at what happened in L.A.? No, I was not, White people should not have been surprised either; they knew that Black people were dying everyday in the streets of Los Angeles to gang violence created by poverty and social chaos, but they did not care. If young Black men in L.A. would kill their own kind, their own Brothers and Sisters, what would make White people think they wouldn't kill them too?..." -- sistah souljah
There has been another pet food recall. Please look at this list.
An important element in the struggle in Oaxaca is the defence and protection of the precious and unfortunately seriously threatened spiritual,environmental and agricultural natural resources of their state.
Oaxaca is the birthplace of corn in the world, and the US is now aggressively and deviously manipulating Mexican economic structures to force the importation of vast quantities of US GM maize. This is an issue of URGENT importance, both for Oaxaca, Mexico and the world.
