For the second time, Sen. John Warner (R-VA), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has delayed consideration of the promotion of an Army general who commanded the base where one soldier beat a fellow soldier to death. The decision drew praise from the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition (NTAC), which also requested that the general's promotion be removed from further consideration.
This is a message that I received from the Dennis Kucinich Presidential Campaign. I am inspired by this man. I hope you will be too. He presents a great opportunity for the "developed world" to move in a different direction. At the very least, he presents an opportuntiy to challenge the self destructive policies of the corporate fudamentalist members of the "Democratic" party.
Just as George Bush and his criminal gang stole election 2000 by committing high crimes and misdemeanors, today the commander and thief in his speech before the Coast Guard commencement class attempted to steal the real answer to "Why do they hate us?".
WHAT: National day of protest to stop the media monopoly
WHEN: May 29, the Thursday before the FCC votes to dramatically deregulate the media WHERE: A Clear Channel radio station in your community
TIA, same face, different name...
Latest round of WMD "evidence" revealed. Left with more questions than answers.
Take Action, let the DLC now that it is the lack of "backbone" that has allowed Bush to get away with whatever he wants. We need a Democrat who stands up for what is right, and doesn't take the safe road. Let them know that since the day they were given leadership positions in the party, there has been no unified message and the Republicans have continued to increase their grip on power.

After weeks of editing and sending out for bids from book manufacturers, we though we had found the right company, with the right price, to print RAISING OUR VOICES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF OREGON POETS AGAINST THE WAR. We sent it off early last week, and have been waiting patiently for our blueline. Instead of a draft, today we received a package with our book in it, a returned check, and a letter from the company....

Yeah, even though the mainstream media is mostly monopolzed already, and it seems like there's no hope to ever change that fact... still, ... at least 2 dozen radio stations in Portland are owned by 2 companies, clear channel being one of them, another out of philly being another... local musicians don't have a chance when this happens to radio.. and this regulation allows more than one kind of media to be owned by one corporation... takes a few seconds to go to www.mediareform.net .... go ahead, might make a difference...
The Libertarian Party thinks it has the answer the homeless are in dire need of: elimination of all zoning laws, land-use regulations, growth-control measures, building codes, and rent control laws.
In 2002, the fiscally conservative Club targeted 19 congressional races and won 17. The 9,000-member Club is the No. 1 source of campaign funds for Republican congressional candidates, aside from the party itself. It targets Republican incumbents whom its officers deem too liberal...

Why did Operation Iraqi Freedom [sic] provoke such a massive anti-war outcry? Hold on, that's not the question I'd really like to ask. Let me rephrase: Why did Operation Iraqi Freedom [sic] provoke so much more protest than 78 days of U.S./NATO bombing over Yugoslavia in 1999?
Lakewood mayor Madeline Cain uses eminent domain law to force elderly couple to give up family home for mall.
The United States will go into an economic depression if President Bush is re-elected, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said in Davenport Iowa on Sunday.
Steven Hatfill, the scientist who is being harrassed by the FBI in the antrax case, is hit by an FBI car and then given a $5 ticket for "walking to create a hazard".
Oh, and some tanks, airplanes, and missiles too. Maybe they left it in their other pants... And to think, this is just a fraction of the overall money that has been "misplaced" during this administration.
 The "Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003" (HR 1904) introduced by Representative McInnis (R-CO) will be considered on the House Floor during the week of May 12. The bill is a crass attempt to benefit logging interests in the name of public interest and represents the continuing effort to take the "public" out of public forests. The bill passed the Resources Committee on April 30 and passed the House culture Committee on May 8. We must generate as much opposition to the bill as possible before it goes to the House floor during the week of May 12th. It is likely that the Senate will look to the House in determining how it approaches the fire issue this year and if the bill passes by a large margin it is likely President Bush's Healthy Forests Initiative will become law this year. If passed, the McInnis/Walden bill would cut the heart out of the National Environmental Protection Act -- America's Magna Carta of environmental protection -- by eliminating citizen input regarding the management of public lands and by interfering with our independent judiciary. Worse, the "Healthy Forests Restoration Act" does nothing to protect people and communities at risk from forest fire. It serves only to harm our national forests, to undermine our environmental laws and the judicial process, and to provide new subsidies and unnecessary logging opportunities to the timber industry.

Here are your choices for the 2004 Election A). Bloodthristy Warmonger B). Bloodthristy Warmgoner Lite. I know I am so excited about the 2004 elections and the opportunity to choose between such great and humanitarian political candidates--NOT!
"There are other more liberal candidates who are given even less of a chance of winning the nomination--Rev. Al Sharpton, for example, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), though he has yet to really answer for his years of supporting the anti-abortionists. But these "dark horse" candidates play an important role for the Democrats--in mobilizing the party's liberal base during the primaries, and then delivering that vote to whichever more conservative candidate wins the nomination."
The Anarchist prisoner Harold H. Thompson has been fighting for more than 20 years for prisoners rights, but now he's been struck a serious blow and needs our help to continue. Here's the whole info:
The average American spends 450 hours each year behind the wheel, a study for the American public transport association reveals. At the heart of this controversy, like so many here in recent years, is America's favourite drug - oil.Between 1985 and 1999, their sales increased tenfold.
Never once did any volunteer of SHAC doubt that at some point the FBI would take keener than comfortable interest in our national efforts. Never once did we fool ourselves into believing that to the extent we have all rattled the cages of the vivisection industry there would be no consequence.
"News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in this country. The news broke quietly on Feb 29, 2000 with a story that ran once on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article."
Raymond Cushing is a journalist, musician and filmmaker. This article was named by Project Censored as a "top Censored Story of 2000" and was reprinted in The Rearguard, May 9, 2003.
In fact, CATIC -- touted as a national model for intelligence sharing and a centerpiece of Gov. Gray Davis and Attorney General Bill Lockyer's 2002 re-election bids -- has quietly gathered and analyzed information on activists of various stripes almost since its creation.
"They've done it since Day One," said a Bay Area counterterrorism official. Mark Schlosberg, director of police policy practices for the ACLU-Northern California, called Van Winkle's remarks "just shocking. "First of all, it's disturbing that protest information is being gathered and distributed out of a counterterrorism center," he said. "But to equate protesting against a war with terrorist activity, if in fact that's what's being done, is contrary to American values. And I would hope there are guidelines in place to prevent that being done."

Bush's actions on September 11 have been the subject of lively debate. [F]ew have dared raise challenging questions about Bush's actions. A journalist who said Bush was "flying around the country like a scared child, seeking refuge in his mother's bed after having a nightmare" and another who said Bush "skedaddled" were fired. [Washington Post, 9/29/01 (B)] We should have a concise record of where President Bush was throughout the day the US was attacked, but we do not. What follows is an attempt to give the most complete account of Bush's actions - from Florida to Louisiana to Nebraska to Washington, DC.
Interesting how we deal with DU as opposed to how Iraquis are supposed to deal with it...
"A lost tape of lost voices, ignored until recently by investigators studying the
emergency response on Sept. 11, shows that firefighters climbed far higher into the south tower than practically anyone had realized. At least two men reached the crash zone on the 78th floor, where they went to the aid of grievously injured people trapped in a sprawl of destruction." "The fact that veteran firefighters had "a coherent plan for putting out" the "two pockets of fire" indicates they judged the blazes to be manageable. These reports from the scene of the crash provide crucial evidence debunking the government's claim that a raging steel-melting inferno led to the tower's collapse."
Will Alaska follow the Hawaii's lead and become the second US state to renounce the US Patriot Act?
I ran across this looking for something else. It paints a pretty sorry picture.
So a reporter got caught lying, cheating, and plagerizing? Big Deal. How about something new?
This is just a reminder for all of those people who want to run for President in 2004 that now is a good time to fill out FEC Form 1 and 2.
OR If you decide not to vote next year, perhaps you should fill these out and vote for yourself. .... Or submit this form to the local government with a letter of recommendation to succeed from the union and an update map and materials. I will be running under the Anti-Plutocratic Party. I will also be running anonymously because of the obvious assination attempt if I do not do so. </satire>

I'm sure there's a Taco bell willing to hire this man.
Looks like Portland isn't the only place with out of control cops, but you knew that already, didn't you? What I find especially ironic about this event is that the guilty party gets a tax-payer financed vacation for his crime. And once again, the "war on drugs" turns into a war on the people.
What's needed;
1. Corporate media infiltration 2. Counter-propaganda (even getting the public to believe LIES to HURT those who have hijacked our country) - beat the bad man at his own game. 3. Abolishment of political parties 4. Full acountability of public service workers (politicians)
Police are arresting those attending an anti genetic engineering conference in Seattle. They are also invading the IMC, housing collectives and offices of groups involved in organizing this event. Your help is needed, call the police chief now.
Union Pacific is installing remote control track-switching devices. This is an attack on organized labor.

Anti-capitalist consulta: JUNE 7-8 This is a call for an anti-capitalist coordinating/planning meeting to begin preparations for actions against the FTAA ministerial meeting being held in Miami, Florida on November 20-22, 2003. We hope that this consulta will be an opportunity to build a broad based, diverse anti-capitalist response to the ministerial.

"This week's political events in Texas—Democratic legislators boycotting the state House of Representatives to block reactionary legislation, the Republican governor ordering state police to arrest them, the Democrats fleeing the state capital and taking refuge in neighboring Oklahoma, under the protection of that state's Democratic administration—are an indication of the extraordinary buildup of political tensions within the United States."
