  • Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers
    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers By Cindy Sheehan July 13, 2006 As of today, the War Department lists 2544 as the number of murdered troops in Iraq. Dozens of innocent Iraqis are being killed due to this war crime every day. More than 80 Iraqis were killed in Baghdad alone on July 9th: dozens of people just in one city on one day who would be alive if not for BushCo.
    I don’t know what number Casey was. I have seen people say 614, I have seen people say 714. It doesn’t (…)

  • One Minute a Day to Create Peace

    The amount of violence in the world is threatening all of us. It is time we use our power to create Peace. How can we do this? By taking one minute a day to generate feelings of Peace within ourselves and then focusing that energy upward and outward, we will cause a shift to move us from violence and conflict to Peace.
    Why would this work? Science has shown us that we are all producing spurts of energy all the time through our emotions and thoughts. This energy, though we do not (…)

    A broad coalition of civil rights groups will gather Wednesday evening on Capitol Hill for an "urgent call to action" to pressure the U.S. Congress to stop stalling and vote on the renewal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

    The following essay is an excerpt from Zinn’s forthcoming book, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress (City Lights Books, ISBN 0-87286-475-8, www.citylights.com)
    In celebration of the 4th of July there will be many speeches about the young people who “died for their country.” Let’s be honest about war. Those who gave their lives did not die for their country, as they were led to believe but for their government. The distinction between country and government is at the (…)

    Cindy Sheehan is on a hunger strike at the mall in Washington DC and she needs company!
    Look at this beautiful park. Doesn’t this look like the perfect place for an extended protest?
    "I often get told that I should "love America, or leave it." This is ridiculous logic and empty rhetoric. I love the country that I was born in and I love Americans. I am an American and so are my children. Casey was born and died a fine American who was abused by the same leaders that are abusing the (…)

    I Am Angry By Susan Fassanella July 5, 2006
    Dear Lew, the Honorable Ron Paul’s piece on why Americans are angry really stirred me to respond. Mr. Paul’s piece speaks about many issues facing Americans today.

    Not In Our Name: Vietnam, Iraq and the Voters’ Pledge
    By Dan Ellsberg
    According to recent opinion polls, most Iraqis don’t believe that we’re making things better or safer in their country. What does that say about the legitimacy of prolonged occupation, much less permanent American bases in Iraq? What does it mean for continued American armored patrols such as the one last November in Haditha, which, we now learn, led to the deaths of a Marine and 24 (…)
