Do you want to do something to minimize cheating during the 2004 elections? If so, then part of the answer may be helping to get The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003 passed. This posting contains a primer on the issues and some ideas as to how to get it passed.
On November 10, 2003, at SEIU Local 49 in Portland, Sara Quintanilla (an electrical worker and Secretary General of her union local) spoke about her union's struggle to halt privatization and defeat the Bush Corporate Globalization agenda from taking over El Salvador and all of Latin America.
The drug war not only affects otherwise law abiding citizens in America, but transcends national borders as well, so the fact that this outspoken advocate resides in BC should be of little importance. I believe that if we had more like him here in the United States, particularly in green friendly Oregon, we could help draw attention to how many people's civil liberties are being violated and begin to mobilize change.
DC activists are teaming up with prominent academics to oppose the Smithsonian's plans to exhibit the B-29 Enola Gay without referencing the human suffering caused by the atomic bomb this plane dropped on Hiroshima.
How can money allow you to commit mass murder, fraud, extortion, and the maiming of innocent men women and children?? Just ask George, he has done it all!
Hi Friends,
On Saturday, Nov 15, five activists (including two from the Pagan cluster) were arrested in Miami for the crime of leafletting, that is, peaceful organizing for the upcoming anti-FTAA mobilization. Urgent support action is needed.
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE LEADERS ANNOUNCE ARCTIC DRILLING PROVISIONS STRIPPED FROM 2003 ENERGY BILL. Even if it is indeed true, and Arctic drilling provisions have been removed, keep in mind the overall energy bill still includes an array of dangerous provisions and massive tax breaks for polluters. Even if they have removed the Arctic drilling provisions, by no means should this bill pass this year - or any year!
Think about it, multi-billion dollar corporations who are supposed to be in "competition" with each other have joined together to try and crush their employees. They would rather lose tens of millions of dollars a week in the short term in the hopes of stealing hundreds of millions from their employees in the long term. This is not someone else's fight; we all have a stake in it.
The time to get behind him is now. If you want WTO/Nafta cancelled. If you want USA patriot repealed. If you want universal health care, full employment, brought to you by a buy that was at a lockdown in Seattle for the famous WTO protest.
How The Drug War is the root of most isms we deal with in the world today. Without stopping the Drug War none of the isms will stop.
Isn't it amazing when big business gets a clue?
In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George
Bush, the elder, wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War:
Possibly bogus thread from real story about Pvt. Jessica Lynch/Iraqi hospital/military ops. Apparently Pvt. Lynch's rescuers are suiciding or getting killed. Can anyone check names of these soldiers as K.I.A. or dead?

"Unlike Europe, the American media hardly raise critical questions..The motives and reasons for war are not put in question...We could overcome malaria and Aids. We could give poor people access to clean water. We could stop the destruction of the rain forest. Why do we spend $100 billion for Iraq and only $200 million for the Global Fund? This is an inverted world." Translated from the German in Austrian Weltwoche
It's lucky for George W. Bush that he wasn't born in an earlier time and somehow stumbled into America's Constitutional Convention. A man with his views, so depreciative of democratic rule, would have certainly been quickly exiled from the freshly liberated United States by the gaggle of incensed Founders. So muses one of our most controversial social critics and prolific writers, Gore Vidal.

The $400-billion funding bill for the Department of Defense is "the greatest single rollback of marine mammal protections in the last 30 years," charges one official at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Hydrogen is a way of storing energy, not an energy source. It won't solve our energy problems.
Amerikkka!
The Justice Department is prosecuting a New Hampshire man for alleging that Israel and the Neo-Cons of the Bush Administration orchestrated the September 11th terrorist attacks as a way to drag the U.S. into wars with all of Israel's enemies!
While vacationing on his ranch one August day, George W. Bush gets thrown from his horse, lands on a rattlesnake, gets bit and dies because the emergency room at the nearest hospital is too understaffed to treat him in time. So his soul arrives in heaven and he is met by St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
The October 7 recall of California Governor Gray Davis should be an object lesson in the disastrous politics of "lesser-evilism." No one represented himself as a "lesser evil" better than Democrat Davis, who always managed to secure victories for his right-wing, money-grubbing, pro-corporate politics by invoking the disasters that would befall California if voters chose a Neanderthal Republican. Unfortunately for him, his luck ran out. Faced with a referendum on his dismal record on October 7, he received a well-deserved beating.
With the Windbag-of-the-Air coming back on the air next Monday, there are still a few out-
standing items yet remaining to be addressed....WHY?
Rush must realize the implications for what he espouses, so every time you hear the phrase "drug addict" use "Rush Limbaugh" instead: "When drugs come into our neighborhoods, violence follows and thugs and criminals like Rush Limbaugh dominate our streets"
A "civilian" is any gook locked behind razor-wire,
preferably starving, bound, gagged, and blindfolded. Everyone else is a "suspected terrorist".
Yes, the rumors are true, there are pornographic pictures of Jessica Lynch. I wonder why the vaunted American Free Press has buried this story? Could it be that this news would tarnish the "wholesome Girl Next Door" image of America's latest Psyops Star. Nah....................

Montana's Democrats are seeking either a rural electric cooperative or public power group to buy NorthWestern Energy, the supplier/distributor of electricity and natural gas to more than 300,000 customers (after Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings are finalized).
Last week the ArmyTime.com web site had a poll where Bush was losing the 2004 election with 1/3 of the votes. This week the poll and its results are GONE from the site.

danger in the schoolyard- carol mithers author
this is a very sobering comment on today's VETERANS DAY by a real Vet who paid a very
high price so that we could freely read this today! The least we can do, is to give a moment of our time to read his comments! Please do...
Rich frat boys like George Bush often don't do military service because they have more options. The lack of options is a real thing that can't be erased with a lot of abstracted, two-dimensional, libertarian, we-are-all-free-agents nonsense.
116 years ago on this date -- Black Friday, 11 November 1887 -- the State of Illinois executed four innocent men. August Spies, Adolph Fischer, Aulbert Parsons, and George Engel were hanged after being falsely accused and convicted of throwing a bomb into a group of policemen.
In a familiar turn of events, the notice suddenly disappeared from the Website. We've mirrored the page and posted the text below.
It sounds cruel to say so, but towns like Rawson are a reminder that the oversettlement of the Great Plains has turned out to be a 150-year-long mistake, one of the longest-running and most costly errors in U.S. history. Families struggled for generations to survive droughts and blizzards, then finally gave up and moved on. You can buy a home out here for $3,000, and you can sometimes rent one for nothing at all if you promise to mow the lawn and keep up the house.
A skin magazine claimed Monday it has pictures of Iraqi POW Jessica Lynch frolicking topless with male soldiers before she went off to war.
Just like Cliff Baxter from the Enron scandal this victim was shot in the head!
The billboard was an Air Force Reserve ad. Since the action almost two weeks ago, the billboard owner has replaced the war ad with something more appropriate. This is a repost from madison.indymedia.org.

"`The secret service did a bad service to the government.' So committee chairperson Pat Roberts summarized the report that took president George W. Bush out of the line of fire.. CIA director George Tenet is the scapegoat for Bush critics and Bush defenders. Either he badly advised the president or didn't protect his service from incursions of the Pentagon and the White House."
"Simpsons' creator Matt Groening is threatened with a suit by news station Fox News, according to the Independent.. Politics is obviously involved. A rightwing station like Fox News that describes itself as fair and balanced doesn't consider ridiculing its balanced fairness as witty..Pointless news crawls up 37 percent... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at foxnews.com." translated from the German
Came across this one before turning off for the night. Seems to tell volumes about the Bush's and their ethics, morality, and trustworthyness! See what you think?
Laying Hens: There are approximately 300 million egg laying hens in the U.S. confined in battery cages — small wire cages stacked in tiers and lined up in rows inside huge warehouses. In accordance with the USDA's recommendation to give each hen four inches of 'feeder space,' hens are commonly packed four to a cage measuring just 16 inches wide. In this tiny space, the birds cannot stretch their wings or legs, and they cannot fulfill normal behavioral patterns or social needs.
Those of you who've had enough of the Jessica Lynch story, before you drop it off into the
bottomless pit of the Memory Hole, read this as the FINAL SAY on it all.....
Consider the uproar in the Episcopal Church over the newly installed Bishop Gene Robinson. These people actually believe that God is a judgmental homophobic prick...

By means of their settlement with the States, the tobacco people have achieved something else that is absolutely invaluable to them -- complacent Americans think that the tobacco problem is solved.
"A new documentary film features one powerful condemnation after another, from the sort of people who usually stay discreetly in the shadows - a former director of the CIA, two former assistant secretaries of defense, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even the man who served as Bush's Secretary of the Army until a few months ago."
