    20 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    1.-Impeachment is where people’s energy is, all over the country. If we want a large and growing and democratic movement, we should listen to our members.
    2.-Exposing the lies and the crimes related to this war is, more than anything else, building opposition to the war, as well as to future wars. There is no better way to expose the crimes than to demand an investigation that could lead to impeachment. (As demanded by H Res 635.)
    3.-Bush and Cheney have given dozens of speeches making (…)

    (CNSNews.com) - Richard Dreyfuss, the actor who starred in movies ranging from "Jaws" to "Mr. Holland’s Opus," told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that "there are causes worth fighting for," and one of those is the impeachment of President George W. Bush.
    "There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose," Dreyfuss said during a speech at the National Press Club. "Unless you are willing (…)

    AlterNet speaks with Cristina Page, the author of a controversial new book about the state of sex, morality and abortion rights in America.
    By Rachel Fudge
    In her new book, How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America: Freedom, Politics, and the War on Sex (Basic Books), Cristina Page boldly declares that the pro-choice movement is "doing a better job at what the public understands to be the pro-life agenda than the pro-lifers are": that is, not only dramatically reducing the number of (…)

    KEWAUNEE, Wis. - Peace activist Jill Bussiere wants the United States to bring its troops home from Iraq immediately, so she went door-to-door in this community in the hopes of getting others to join her cause.
    Bussiere helped organize a petition drive that resulted in a referendum on Iraq being put on the ballot during Kewaunee’s upcoming spring election. It asks whether the city’s leaders should urge the U.S. to begin (…)

    Divide and Conquer is their goal.
    Attack in all directions at once is their method.
    There are so many issues to fight for these days, there are millions of pissed off Americans fighting the system, but we will never affect change unless we unite to fight the head of the Beast.
    Are you concerned about the Navy’s use of sonar and how it affects whales?
    Or is there a new commericial pig farm coming to your neighborhood?
    Or are you fighting GM Foods, Aspartame, the war in Iraq, (…)

    Maybe Dick Cheney can’t shoot straight, but at least he didn’t shoot himself in the face. Sadly, you can’t say the same for the leadership of the Democratic party.
    Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Rahm Emanuel have not only strong-armed Iraq War vet Paul Hackett out of the Ohio senate race, but out of politics altogether.
    And for what? To give Eagle Scout Sherrod Brown a clear shot at the Senate?!
    Yes. OK. A messy primary is less than ideal as a precursor to a (…)

    "Awesome night," said Stephani Passaro, 21, shivering as she ducked into a minivan after a cold night knocking on doors this week in Bensalem’s suburban cul-de-sacs to talk about issues affecting working families.
    It was awesome. No dogs chased Passaro and her nine fellow canvassers. Hardly anyone slammed doors on them, and they signed up 275 members to Working America, a 1.2-million-member grassroots affiliate of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest federation of (…)

    This is a letter to all of those Americans that know what is really happening in America.
    We now know that Bush is openly disregarding the Constitution. We know that Congress is doing nothing about it, maybe they’ll appoint another ’bi-partisan’ commission to ’investigate’.
    This is not acceptable.
    All of those elected officials swore to Uphold and Defend the Constitution. They have collectively failed, whether due to bribes, blackmail, incompetence, collusion, etc we (…)
