    United for Peace and Justice opposes any military action against Iran, as well as covert action and sanctions. We reject the doctrine of "preventive war." All diplomatic solutions must be pursued.
    Send a clear message to the Bush Administration: Don’t Attack Iran! As a first and immediate step, we urge you to add your signature and comments to AfterDowningStreet’s petition to President Bush and Vice-President Cheney opposing an attack on Iran.

    Resistance: the Remedy for Fear
    By RON JACOBS
    The French students and workers force the repeal of a law that would have provided employers complete control over the work lives of French youth.

    While it’s hard to see it here in the U.S., "trickle- down" economics is beginning to be confronted by popular democratic movements, which are bubbling up in communities across the country as well as all over the world in countries like Ghana and Bolivia, where fierce resistance to the privatization of water not only pushed big water multinationals like Bechtel out of the country , but led the government of Bolivia to begin pushing the world’s international financial (…)

  • RIGHTS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE US

    Marching in the streets, making demands, the only rights I see that ILLEGAL immigrants might have in the U.S. are these:
    You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?
    Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?
    You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
    If you cannot afford an attorney, (…)

Even though it’s a Saturday, I’m eager to get to “work.” Passing through the kitchen on my way to the back door, I notice that my wife, Anna, has already made some coffee. Pouring myself a cup, I take it with me as I head out the back door on my way to my workshop. My workshop is where I work. I’ve been self employed as a furniture maker for a couple of (…)

    Boy, those students sure have a lot of people in a tizzy. From the slightly left of center of the political spectrum all the way to the far right, pundits and politicians are outdoing each others to declare that something horrible is going on in the streets of France. At the former end, the students are being roundly ridiculed as lazy elitists, and on the far right, the whole French nation is being characterized as crazy. Some of the drivel passed on by the New York Times (…)
