The
october un-surprise
will voters finally
hold bush accountable?
"Republicans should be
feeling desperate right now, because if Democrats take
the house, they will suddenly have the power of subpoena and
the
authority to create their own committees. ... Instead of what happened
subsequent to the 1994 Republican “revolution” when Republicans
tried to impeach Clinton on the flimsy grounds of lying about a personal
matter, a 2006
Democratic majority will allow Democrats to investigate Bush’s
serious abuses of the executive branch. Naturally, these inquiries
will begin with whether Bush sold everyone a pack of lies to launch
his war
of choice on Iraq. But they will not end there, and in the process
it is likely that many Republican heads will roll. They cannot help
but hope that Karl Rove has done his homework and will somehow pull
off his most
brilliant October surprise."

March
on Washington D.C.
Organized
by United for Peace and Justice
It was a very good day. People came
from all over the country in busloads to protest Bush's illegal
and immoral war. When we arrived at 12:00, the march was just
beginning and when we had to
catch our bus at 5:00 the march was still going.
This has been described by the news media as the largest U.S.
protest against the war. Protesters were everywhere, covering
so many square blocks, it was impossible to even guess
how many hundreds of thousands of people showed up.

Second Anniversary of Invasion of Iraq
NYC Protest: March from
harlem to central Park
No, there weren't nearly as many people as in the February 2003 protests,
but still a lot of people remembered. Too bad that the attention span
of so many people is so short. Those of us that showed up remembered
that Bush simply lied his way into this illegal war. We just
couldn't let
that
go.
When
we got to 102nd Street, we marched up a large (by Manhattan standards)
hill . It was beautiful look back and see that our march easily
filled 5 city
blocks. How many people is that? The news media simply said "hundreds".

Welcome Chairman Dean!
Send some money to the
DNC
Democrats CAN Compete in all 50 States |
|
 |
Now that Terry McAwful
is no longer Democratic chairman I finally sent the DNC
some money, after refusing to do so for many years. Governor
Dean wants
to make the Dems competitive in all 50 states by growing
the party from the bottom up, instead of from the top down. That
means he'll listen to US!

change
the voting system now
No
More Dubious Elections
Voter-verified paper ballots make it possible for voters to verify their votes are recorded as intended and for election officials to conduct meaningful recounts. It's just common sense!
Urge your representative to co-sponsor Rep. Holt's "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act" (H.R. 550) and Rep. Gibbons' "Voting Integrity and Verification Act" (VIVA,
H.R. 704).

Bush's
Second Coronation
pictures from the inauguration
The general public was not allowed on most of the parade route,
making access for face to face dissent
difficult. And still protest was rampant in Washington during Bush's
second coronation. Bush is the most protested President ever.
(News
Story)
At a rally in McPherson Square, Granny D (pictured at right)
pointed out to the crowd that most of them were much younger
than her and that while we are all still alive it is incumbant
on us all to keep up the fight. Granny D turned 95 on January
21st.

2004 The National Cognitive Dissonance: Will
Bush Supporters Ever Wake Up?
"...Bush supporters
tend to believe what they want to believe. It is impossible
for them to believe that we invaded Iraq for no reason.
Such a
senseless invasion would belie
their belief in our country as a just nation. Most Americans
who believe in the goodness of our country will choose to
cherry
pick the facts so that harsh realities will not undermine their
belief in the American dream. For them, the invasion of Iraq
was a matter
of
national
security,
simply
because we are already there."

Myths
about George W. Bush exposed
When
you compare Bush's campaign rhetoric with the facts, it's
clear that Bush's public personae is just as out of touch
with reality as he is.
THE
Myth: Bush is tough on terrorism
THE REALITY:
(excerpt)...By the end of 2004, the
war with Iraq will have cost U.S. taxpayers nearly
$200 billion dollars. Meanwhile, the Department
of Homeland Security was only given a budget of $27 billion,
in the form of programs most of which were already in place
before 9/11.... MORE...

Bush’s
9/11 Secrets
Will
the true extent of Bush’s complicity in 9/11 ever be
made public?
"...If Richard Clarke’s
allegations were surprising to many people,
it should be even more astounding for them
to learn that the Bush team actively worked
to block investigations into terrorism which
might have stopped the 9/11 attacks. And it
should come as even more of a complete shock,
that at the behest of their cronies in the
oil industry, the Bush team re-opened diplomatic
negotiations with the Taliban which continued
until just five weeks before the twin towers
fell. ..."

Why Liberals Fail
"...The conservative right has been
diligent in promoting it's vision and it has succeeded in building
an empire. So far their crowning achievement has been in the
installation of Bush Jr.; an occurrence that could not have
happened without them. It's clear that Bush's support by this
group cannot be ignored by Bush himself and accordingly he
has spent nearly all of this administration rewarding them.
