Several Mad as Hell Doctors, nurses and a Teamster union driver left yesterday for Seattle. They are on a tour of 20 cities on their way to Washington D.c. to bring their message that the single payer, universal healthcare is the only option that will fix the present horrible "health care" system that we've been forced to deal with. They made it clear that the "public option"/sell-out deal to profit the insurance companies that Obama and the Democrats are peddling will not work.
See the ACTION ALERT at the end of this comment for a simple, immediate action each of us can take to demand the most meaningful health care reform possible: a quick link to a letter to our congressional representatives demanding a YES vote on Rep. Weiner's single-payer amendment:

Would history reveal the efforts of Arab Americans helping the U.S. win the War on Terror? Would it also reveal that so many of them were wrongfully targeted by the same government, or sometimes, by fellow citizens?

Health care reform is badly needed. Many Americans have no or very limited access to care, other are paying so much for care they cannot afford housing, food, or other necessities, still others get care but the quality is dangerously poor. 80,000 Americans a year die in Auto accidents; 200,000 a year die of avoidable medical errors. This is an evaluation and contrast b/w the two reforms currently being considered.
We have forgotten to raise the Why-questions, questions children ask us again and again. Why did we believe for years money grows on trees and can be multiplied at will without seeing that the branch on which we sit has broken through our own debt burden? Why was the economic elite silent for years about intrigues?
What took you so long, Thom?

President Obama is a friend of the working people... one day a year. The rest of the year he is rewarding banks with bailouts and war contractors with more war. On Labor Day, workers were offered nothing of substance, just kind words.
Obama began his speech by spending an excessive amount of time exaggerating the leadership abilities of both AFL-CIO officials and Ohio's Democratic representatives. The motive was simple: the "partnership" between organized labor and the Democratic Party is central to the languishing existence of the two-party system, while helping to keep the labor movement in an equal state of decline and decay.

Author J. Patrick O'Connor was recently interviewed in San Francisco about his research into the case of San Quentin death row prisoner Kevin Cooper, whose appeal at the Ninth Circuit Court was recently denied, with Judge William Fletcher writing a stinging dissent, declaring that the "State of California may be about to execute an innocent man." This fall, Cooper will be appealing to the US Supreme Court, which is his last chance to avoid execution.
Dear Republicans, extreme capitalists, greedy rich, robber barons, anti-government extremists, hate mongers, money launderers, and others of dubious ethics.....
The Supreme Court on September 9 hears a case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, that reopens the question of unlimited corporate money in our elections. In a stunning move, the Court will reach back and reconsider two other pivotal campaign finance cases settled long ago. The potential result? A century old pillar of campaign fiance doctrine could be swept away. Decision likely in spring of 2010.

Bowing to Republican muck-raking, Obama has apparently pressured Jones into resigning from the administration. But the original Obama-Jones environmental program, which Obama has mostly kept on the level of rhetoric, was never enough to begin with. Mass environmental action is needed!

Education is the great transformer (J.K.Galbraith). Ivan Illich was a life-giving iconoclast and philosopher. He said the helping professions often help themselves. People are afraid of walking around the block without a doctor's prescription; forced conformity is often passed off as education. Ivan Illich criticized modern industrial society as a threat to autonomy.
Around 50,000 people demonstrated against nuclear power in Berlin on Saturday as a poll projected the pro-nuclear conservatives of Chancellor Angela Merkel convincingly winning an election on 27 September, although a majority of Germans want nuclear electricity production stopped.
A highlight of the powerful protest on a rainy day in the downtown area of the capital were more than 350 farm tractors rumbling through, some of which had been driven in convoy hundreds of kilometres around nuclear dump sites in northern Germany. At one location during the trek, the collapsing Morsleben underground nuclear dump, they were savagely attacked without cause by police using batons, tear gas, pepper spray and biting Alsatians. The police minister has apologised.
Trade, social development and foreign aid, along with other endeavors, have been used to further promote U.S. interest around the globe. In some cases, this has resulted in shared security goals and closer military cooperation which has led to U.S. involvement in the region. In the aftermath of the SPP's demise, beware of other initiatives that could take its place and advance economic, political, social, security and military integration, not only in North America, but the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

The mainstream media complains about citizen journalism such as Indymedia, expressing outrage that the mainstream media is obsolete and no longer to be trusted.
Considering the number of resources mobilized by the private health insurance lobby, there can be little surprise that HR 3200 is a 1,000-page legislative mess. The pressure of the lobby ensured that any reform is framed as part of new "health insurance exchanges." This idea was concocted by the conservative Heritage Foundation, transmitted by the health care industry lobby, and is now being mouthed by an assortment of politicians as a trailblazing virtue -- note Obama's "choice and competition" slogan.
I made this video in 2003. Shortly thereafter I was cointelprod by members. Portland Indymedia was one of the hardest forces working against me at the time. I believe Portland Indymedia is working on behalf of IsRaEl, and U.S.A. et al, to destroy this entire planet.

A qick update from Caracas Venezuela
this is a quick report from our first day in Caracas Videos willbe coming when I return in 8 days Peace Solidarity = Love
Since time immemorial, the US has been a land of hope and a spawning ground for paranoid fears. America has offered shelter from political and religious persecution to millions of people. President Ronald Reagan expanded the catalogue of America's potential enemies with an essential category: the state itself, "Big Government."
Mary McIlroy, a candidate in the California 10th Congressional District race, has strongly opposed the closure of the Toyota NUMMI plant; the plant closure would affect tens of thousands of workers in her district which covers Alameda and other surrounding counties. Mary McIlroy, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate, says, "It is not too late to save these jobs and save the plant from closing." Toyota has scheduled the plant closure for March 2010.
With Cindy in Martha's Vineyard
I spent but a short time with Cindy Sheehan as she carried her antiwar protest from an earlier time at Crawford, TX, to Martha's Vineyard, vacation spot for Obama and many other Democrat Party elite. As Cindy remarked, the real story was not that she was protesting Obama's wars but that the "leadership" of the peace movement did not support her protest. When the target was Bush in Crawford, she was all the rage with antiwar celebrities, but not so now that the target is Barack Obama. While there is considerable enthusiasm for her anti-Obama protest on the part of the rank and file in the anti-war movement, a refusal of its "leaders" to notify their members far and wide, high and low, crippled the action.
