Dear friends:
A march of 2,000 people took place last night, in San Francisco, against the genocidal attack on Fallujah, and in solidarity with 4,000 hotel workers who are locked out of their jobs by major hotel chains.
The action was sponsored by International ANSWER and endorsed by the San Francisco Labor Council, and all other anti-war groups.
Very militant, the marchers were in support of Iraqi people’s resistance and for US out of Iraq immediately.
Another ANSWER action, in Los (…)

such...there are also several other states in which voters will be
challenging the counts and the machines...those states to include
Colorado, Nevada, Nebraska, New Mexico, Iowa, West Virginia,
Missouri, Arkansas, Virginia and North Carolina (which may be forced
to redo the election entirely)...more as it becomes available...

LABOR NEEDS "THAT VISION THING"
11 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentBy David Bacon
There’s no question that labor pulled out all the stops to defeat George Bush. Over 2000 members of the country’s largest union, the Service Employees (SEIU), left their jobs to go campaign in battleground states, and the organization budgeted $65 million for the campaign. The AFL-CIO itself fielded 5000 fulltime staffers and 225,000 volunteers.
That made Bush’s victory a hard one to swallow. For many of the most progressive leaders of US labor, however, it was more (…) -

Are the provisional ballots in Ohio being thrown out? A new rule for counting provisional ballots in Cuyahoga County, Ohio was implemented on Tuesday, November 9 at approximately 2:30 in the afternoon, according to election observer Victoria Lovegren.
The new ruling in Cuyahoga County mandates that provisional ballots in yellow packets must be “Rejected” if there is no “date of birth” on the packet. The Free Press obtained copies of the original “Provisional (…) -

The Optimism of Uncertainty

From an excerpt of Paul Rogat Loeb’s book "The Impossible Will Take a Little While":
In this awful world where the efforts of caring people often pale in comparison to what is done by those who have power, how do I manage to stay involved and seemingly happy? I am totally confident not that the world will get better, but that we should not give up the game before all the cards have been played. The metaphor is deliberate; life is a gamble. Not to play is to foreclose any (…) -

3 commentsDear Politicasso ,
We know many of you are angry and frustrated about the election last Tuesday, and are deeply concerned about the stories appearing online and in the news media about problems with the voting process in states like Ohio. As the New York Times said, "the mechanics of our democracy remained badly flawed ... the election system was far from what voters are entitled to." And, it sure appears that many Americans, once again, have lost confidence in our nation’s election (…) -
Vote Fraud likely in both President and Senate Races
11 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
4 commentsAnalysis of the Nation’s Senate races yield mores anomalies in favor of the Republicans. Looking at Florida’s election results, I noticed the Senate race was very close, with the Democrat Betty Castor losing in a nail-biter 49-48%, only 78,221 votes short.
Then I noticed that the total number of votes for Senate was quite a bit less than in the presidential race. 253,105 people voted for president but failed to cast a ballot for senator. Interesting.... so I analyzed all of the Senate (…) -
We, the people demand the impeachment of George W Bush

79 comments"Bush can run, but he cannot hide from the Constitution" "The election does not pardon the President for past, or future "high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Impeachment is not a partisan political issue. The House of Representatives, possessed of the "sole power of impeachment," is required to consider a bill of impeachment on the facts even if every Member were of the same party, or political persuasion, as the President. The seven specific provisions of the Constitution setting forth the (…)
