Contact these Senators and ask them why they voted against medical care for veterans.
Come discuss the ways in which socialization has forced us to uphold patriarchy, through gender rules and subtitle gender role dynamics that affect our everyday lives. We will discuss how we all contribute through our language and dynamics and share the ways in which we are resisting patriarchy in our daily lives.

Sometimes NPR isn't so bad, maybe almost pretty good . . . sometimes. But other times, like today, NPR covered two stories with a definite pro-Bush slant, just to make sure that no one would doubt that its reporting is "balanced"! Especially wouldn't want to step on the toes of any of its corporate or "non-profit" foundation supporters!
Portlanders have already seen this story unfold in their city. The arrest of law-abiding citizens, the police lying in court only to be contradicted by video shot by independent reporters, and the arduous task of holding the city accountable. However, there is one new twist in the prosecution of cases of those arrested during the RNC: the prosecution has been caught altering the police video submitted to the court by removing segments showing the innocence of the arrestee, only to be caught when an unaltered video was submitted by the defense.
Republicans have taken up their whining about what they call the horrible "death tax" -- taxes on estates or inheritances.
Here's a proposal: let's drop the "death tax" like they want to do, BUT LET'S MAKE ALL INCOME RECEIVED BY WAY OF BEING BORN INTO A RICH FAMILY AS TAXABLE AS INCOME EARNED BY PLAIN OLD FASHIONED WORKING FOR A LIVING! You see, the income tax is primarily on EARNED income, a little (less all the time) on income from investments, and then on income from gambling or chance. But NOT on gifts or inheritances that you RECEIVE -- presumably because that was already taxed by gift and inheritance taxes paid by the giver or the estate. Well, except for tips to waiters -- but, see, that's the real difference -- that might have been EARNED!

Dear friends of Portland Peaceful Response,
As mentioned in our last announcement, the Portland City Council will soon return to the question of our city's participation in the Portland Joint Terrorism Task Force (PJTTF), a highly controversial relationship with Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the DEA, in which Portland police officers are deputized and work in cooperation with Federal-led investigations, intelligence gathering and other unspecified activities.

given how the FBI nutter's screwed-up with their Brandon Mayfield
case here in Portland a few months or so back, it looks like the same sort of thing is shaping up to be the case in East Harlem, New York. Folks, with the FBI under the microscope here in con- junction with their PJTTF sponsorship, we need to watch this case and how it evolves...keep taps on the watcher's...sort of watch the watchers!
Unable to resist his new found hobby of abusing the human rights of others, AmeriNazi orders Mexicans out of their car in Arizona, makes them lie down on the road, and holds them with a gun.
We're told to fear the evil-doers overseas, but it's our own American corporations, greedy to avoid safety regulations and flush with campaign contributions, that really threaten us with disaster after disaster.

"WHO chief scientist Klaus Stohr said the virus, which killed between 1 million and 4 million people in 1957" ... ah like what?
"The virus could cause a global (flu) outbreak. It was an unwise decision to send it out," Stohr said. ... ah like what? Ok let me understand this ... they sent out a flu in a kit throughout the world and that this strain only killed a few million. Oh ok. That makes perfectly good sense just like handing a child a plastic bag to play with or running with scissors in your hands. Sure glad they did not send Marburg disease out or anthrax (then the US would have to attack the UN). Luckily those microbiologists were killed after the anthrax scare hence stopping any pandemics. Well cheer up.. it could be worse it could have been nuclear material.
In order to pay for Bush's Stealthy Forest Theft, more big-timber giveaways, and tax-breaks for the rich, our public forest service property will be sold off and access to camping, hiking and other recreational opportunities will be curtailed.
Simply stated, opportunities to enjoy your public lands are about to be severely limited. The USFS will, in the months ahead, begin to close many of the places you now enjoy. They will be selling those resources they no longer intend to maintain. They will be privatizing those sites concessionaires wish to operate. They will be "improving" the places they choose to keep and doing so in order to maximize revenue collection and to better cater to a new customer base they hope to lure to the forests. They intend to cater to an entirely new class of forest users ... the kind that expect their entertainment pre-packaged, neatly presented and easily purchased.
![]() Thousands of union members, environmentalists, feminists, anarchists, students, farm workers, media activists, and human rights activists who gathered in Miami to struggle against the FTAA were brutally attacked with rubber bullets, pepper spray, electric guns and shock batons, embedded reporters and information warfare, all coordinated by the new United States Department of Homeland Security. Against Capital's model of paramilitary oppression, information warfare, and corporate rule, we offered models of grassroots resistance, creative action and solidarity. Collectively, Indymedia activists shot hundreds of hours of video footage documenting the FTAA protests in Miami. This footage has been edited by the FTAA Miami Video Working Group into a documentary that cuts through the mass media blackout to reveal the brutal repression and assault on civil liberties that took place, as well as the life-affirming and inspiring alternatives to capitalist globalization that were also in full effect in Miami. The ftaaaimc.org video working group is proud to present The Miami Model.
The TV Station that broke the SARS story in China and pressured the Chinese government to admit the crisis, will go off the air in China on April 15, 2005 due to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party.
A report sponsored by the UN and the World Bank tells us that the Earth is near the breaking point. The cause? Overpopulation and overconsumption. So how do our intrepid leaders in Oregon respond? With business as usual, of course, planning right ahead to increase Oregon's population and consumption! So much for serving on the advent of sustainability. Rise up Cascadians, and say no to more growth as usual.

Last year's IMF/World Bank protest was a colorful demonstration of peaceful alternatives to the culture of war. Is it any more important to protest this year, with Paul Wolfowitz taking office as the new president of the World Bank?
I don't think so.

"...is not a case of popular delusion or mass hysteria. It is, I feel confident in concluding, part of a concerted effort by the Aliyevs and their allies - former government officials, lobbyists, and PR henchmen - in the United States. Aliyev's past as an executioner for Lavrentii Beria and Iosef Stalin is quite well-known and painstakingly substantiated - primarily by the elder Aliyev's own biographies, written back when he was a general in the KGB."

Muggers, thuggers and thieves. If The cowboy is the symbol of American independence then maybe it takes an Indian to show us how to tea party.
"If the world's central bankers accumulate fewer dollars, the result would be an unrelenting American need to borrow in the face of an ever weaker dollar - a recipe for higher interest rates and higher prices. The economic repercussions could unfold gradually, resulting in a long, slow decline in living standards. Or there could be a quick unraveling, with the hallmarks of an uncontrolled fiscal crisis." -- New York Times editorial 4-2-05
