WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - IN GAS PRICES!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi – this CAN work – doesn’t sound extreme and perhaps full of just economic common sense.

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON. ..Or 40 Cents/litre

If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day” campaign that was going around last April or May!

It's worth your consideration.

JOIN THE RESISTANCE!

I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by THIS summer and it might go higher!!

Want gasoline prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action.

The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

BUT, SOMEONE has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.08 at Arco and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem, Oregon and climbing every week.

I paid $3.85 for regular unleaded in Kansas today!

And in Canada it is currently 1.23 a liter (that's $5.64 a gallon)

At the rate gas prices are climbing, the average person will be working two or three days to buy gas to drive to work five days! Are we going to put up with that?

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace… Not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here’s the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (EXXON and MOBIL. (USA)

And for Canadians don't purchase ANY gas from Petro Canada, Esso or Husky..

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Esso and Petro Can gas buyers.

IT'S REALLY SIMPLE TO DO!

Keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

1st, by posting this here, I'm reaching a HUGE AUDIENCE!

&...I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all!

If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!

ACTING TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

You have only the rights you are willing to fight for!

So, Pass this on to all of your friends, and DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies EXXON and MOBIL. (USA)

And for Canadians don't purchase ANY gas from Petro Canada,

Esso or Husky...For the rest of this year!

PLEASE REPOST THIS EVERY WHERE ON THE WEB POST IT ON YOUR BLOGS

LET'S HURT THEM LIKE THEY'VE BEEN HURTING US...

Tell your Reps We need economic stimulus and jobs

2010-12-06T09:46:00.000-08:00

Tell your Reps We need economic stimulus and jobs

Tell them we're sick of Politics as usual and are ready to give the boot to the whole lot of you!

We need economic stimulus and jobs

Now that the Deficit Commission did not receive enough votes to be
considered by Congress, please move toward a real plan to expand the economy and reduce the deficit.

The economy is continuing to falter, with unemployment rising to
9.8% and inadequate signs of an economic recovery. In fact, as the
Washington Post describes the jobs report as “ugly”saying: “The economy
created 39,000 jobs in November -- about 160,000 fewer than it'd need to begin cutting into unemployment, and about 100,000 less than it'd need to just keep up with population growth.”

The need for economic stimulus and jobs creation is so evident
that even the usually deficit concerned Federal Reserve is urging stimulus and
not deficit reduction. As Dean Baker points out, job creation is
the first priority, writing: “If the unemployment rate were at its pre-recession
level of 4.5 percent, we would have, at most, a modest deficit.” This economic
collapse was caused by the housing bubble bursting. Sadly, that continues
with rising foreclosures continuing to weaken the housing market.

The real way to deal with the deficit is to re-ignite the economy
and tax those who profited from past policies that favored the wealthiest
Americans:

1. Focus on creating jobs through infrastructure spending, supporting state and local governments and transitioning to a new clean energy economy that creates green jobs, efficient jobs-producing mass transit and a carbon-free, nuclear-free energy economy.

Levy fines to American
Corporations that outsource their business and do away with American Jobs. Fine them in proportion to the number of jobs lost so that outsourcing is not a viable monetary solution to their bottom line.

2. Stabilize the housing market by requiring banks to
rewrite mortgages at lower interest rates and based on the real economic value
of homes.

Jail the bankers, and insurance exec's that brought down our economy in the first place instead of giving them bail-out money so they can pad their bonus checks for a job badly
done!

3. Face up to health care costs. The U.S. is spending more than twice as much as other countries per person on health care, expanding and improving Medicare so it is available to all Americans is the only real reform that will control costs and provide health care to all.

We all pay into Medicare with each paycheck we earn, let us benefit from the payments we're
making.

Outlaw commercials
directed at the consumers for pharmaceuticals, & the cost to manufacture them will come down.

DO IT!

We're not Dr.'s and shouldn't be self diagnosing our selves, or suggesting drugs to our
Dr.'s that's their job.

Renovate the buildings
and facilities of the existing VA hospital campus' and open the doors to more medical practitioners; charge them a fee for use of the facilities and open them to the public for care; instead of letting them fall down from disrepair, and building new hospitals, and Dr. Buildings.

The VA campus in Leavenworth KS. has at least 20 buildings that are in disrepair, and could be renovated and put to use. Providing work for the construction industry in the area, and more and better health care for the population.

4. Cut the military budget dramatically.
Weapons and war now make up more than half of U.S. discretionary spending. For years the U.S. has spent as much as the rest of the world combined on the military. It is time to end the current wars and close many of the more than 700 bases the U.S. has overseas.

We are not the Worlds Police
Force, nor should we be!

A sustainable economic policy is not possible so long as the
military dominates the budget.

We're sick of sending our kids off to fight your wars that mean absolutely nothing to us at home. It's time to get out of the war business...

5. Tax wealth instruments – stocks, bonds and derivatives – with a micro tax of less than 1% which will raise more money than the income tax on the first $100,000 in income on all Americans.

6. Re-institute the tax rate on wealthy Americans, the top 2% of income earners in the U.S. population.

They've been standing up in mass telling you to tax them, DO IT!

Quit playing politics as usual across the isle. Do something for the "people" not just the lobby groups that add to your pocket books. We're sick of the lot of you, and feel that if you can't or won't do your job, then it's time to replace you all.

What happened to the Republican party!

2010-10-25T12:02:00.000-07:00

“So, tell me about the history of the amendment

again. I’m too young to remember.”

“Well, it all started with the hog flu, which

killed off an enormous percentage of the

population. Seems it reacted to the chemicals

released in the body of those who are habitual

liars.”

“And that’s what wiped out the Republican party?”

“Well, they didn’t have any candidates left to run

for office. Then there was the deer-antler flu,

so-named because some hunter from the Midwest

contracted it from a deer antler. A white stag,

actually. Very Arthurian, somehow.”

“That was the one that hit people with a low IQ?”

“Not exactly. It attacked those who were not using

their brains, independent of mental capacity. That

took care of anybody who would have even thought of

voting Republican. On further investigation,

scientists discovered that thoughtfulness leads to

consideration for others, resulting in an

alteration of body chemistry which was completely

lacking in Republicans. But by then it was too

late.

“The following year, the Libertarian Party won a

landslide victory, and we were able to end all wars

on the planet, completely end starvation, hunger,

and poverty everywhere on the planet, demolish the

nuclear arms stockpiles, eliminate pesticide use,

eliminate greenhouse emissions, cease entirely the

use of petroleum products by massive conservation

and converting to a largely solar-based fuel

economy, properly fund all schools, including

programs in art, music, sculpture, and dance, save

all the remaining rain forests, end all whaling and

overfishing, and basically bringing about basic

peace and contentment planet-wide while ceasing all

forms of environmental destruction.”

TurnOffFox campaign

2010-10-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

Many of us already know that Fox News is biased -- but it's actually much worse than that. For years they have used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide this country. Recently, it's gotten downright dangerous. Earlier this summer, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at two non-profit organizations[1] -- and now, in an interview from jail, he's said that Glenn Beck was a big part of his inspiration.[2]

Fox News is bad news for America -- and it spreads, and is legitimized, partly through TVs in public places.

That's why I've joined the TurnOffFox campaign -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox. It's about educating people about Fox and getting it turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.

Will you join me? It takes just a moment to declare your own household "Fox free", and at the same time appeal to public establishments in your community to stop playing Fox. And you'll get a FREE Turn Off Fox sticker when you do. Click here:

http://colorofchange.org/turnofffox/?id=2120-1404855

No other news organization that's considered legitimate consistently wages smear campaigns based on lies and race-baiting. But for years Fox News has done exactly that, and the pattern has only gotten worse since Barack Obama entered national politics.

Here are just a few examples:

-- A frequent Fox guest, Jesse Lee Peterson, said that the majority of Black people have poor moral character, and cited "what they did to the dome" after Hurricane Katrina as evidence.[3] Peterson has also used his platform on Fox to claim that 90% of Black people are racists -- against Whites.[4]

-- In a case of naked race-baiting, Fox host Glenn Beck called President Obama a "racist" who had a "deep-seated hatred for White people or the White culture."[5] Earlier that week, Beck claimed that the President's health insurance reform proposals were a form of "reparations" designed to "settle old racial scores."[6]

-- Fox host John Stossel argued that the public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Act -- which prevents businesses from discriminating based on race, sex, and other factors -- should be repealed.[7]

-- Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity were the first to air deceptively edited and incomplete video of Shirley Sherrod's remarks to the NAACP.[8] The video made it seem like Sherrod was confessing to using her position at the USDA to discriminate against White farmers, when she was really talking about the importance of overcoming prejudice. Sherrod lost her job over this misrepresentation, which Fox enthusiastically repeated without seeking the facts. Fox has since tried to pretend it had nothing to do with this smear -- but Fox is the number one reason these kinds of distortions and smears have any part in our national dialogue.

The examples above aren't even a tenth of Fox's vicious lies and smears, and over the years they've just gotten more brazen.

The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox's poison (and how it works) to those who don't know.

Signing up for the campaign is just the first step. We make it easy for you to tell us about businesses playing Fox. If you're willing to talk with them, we'll provide you with straightforward materials that explain why they shouldn't be a party to what Fox is doing. And if there are businesses you know that want to tell the world they would never play Fox, you can help them declare themselves a "Fox-free zone."

As businesses Turn off Fox and stand up as Fox Free, and as we encourage our friends and family to do the same, we'll help make clear, to people across the country, what Fox is about. And we'll reduce their ability to do harm.

Please join me in signing up for the TurnOffFox campaign:

Thanks.

Libertarian Party

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Libertarians issue warning to Tea Partiers

WASHINGTON - Looking toward the 9/12 Tea Party events in Washington, DC, Libertarian Party executive director Wes Benedict issued the following warning to Tea Partiers: "Republicans are trying to fool you again."

"There are two kinds of Tea Partiers," said Benedict. "One kind is so blinded by its hatred of Obama and Democrats that it cannot see fault with Republicans. It's the other kind the Libertarian Party is reaching out to."

Libertarian Party staff and volunteers will participate in the Washington, DC Tea Party events on September 12. They will distribute flyers pointing out how the Top 10 Disasters of the 2009-2010 Obama administration mirror the Top 10 Disasters of the 2001-2008 Bush administration.

Benedict continued, "Libertarians have much in common with Tea Party goals of reducing government spending and taxes. While many Tea Party supporters will admit that George W. Bush's administration grew government, Libertarians want to remind Tea Partiers about previous Republican administrations that loved big government.

"Republican Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America promised to eliminate the Departments of Education and Energy. Yet once Republicans took control of Congress, they failed even to reduce the spending on those departments.

"Republican President George Bush, Sr. remains famous for coining the phrase 'Read my lips, no new taxes,' and then raising taxes.

"Republican President Ronald Reagan grew federal government spending to the highest level it had reached since World War II. He also 'saved Social Security' by raising payroll taxes.

"Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole was a huge supporter of taxpayer subsidies for corn and ethanol.

"In 1971, Republican President Richard Nixon instituted wage and price controls. That made a group of free-market supporters so angry that they decided to form the Libertarian Party.

"Republicans seem to think we're idiots. For decades they have paid lip-service to shrinking government, while consistently doing the opposite in office.

"Our fear is that Tea Partiers might say 'This time it will be different.' No it won't. If you vote for Republicans this time, it will just reinforce the message that they can lie to you and grow government with impunity.

"Current Republicans are just as bad as past Republicans.

"This year, Libertarian Party co-founder David Nolan is running for U.S. Senate against Republican John McCain, who famously suspended his 2008 presidential campaign so he could rush back to Washington to bail out the banks.

"Republican leader John Boehner might end up as the next House Speaker, and he voted for George W. Bush's huge 2003 Medicare expansion.

"John Cornyn, Republican senator from Texas, and current chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, voted for the TARP bailouts.

"Ron Paul is probably the only Republican congressman willing to point out the huge cost of America's foreign wars and empire building. Other Republicans pretend that spending trillions on the military just doesn't count as big government.

"With Social Security, Medicare, and military spending making up the vast majority of federal spending, you can't cut significantly without cutting those. But Republicans refuse to touch them.

"Libertarians welcome the Tea Party movement's focus on the problem of government growth. However, we are concerned that Tea Partiers might fall for the Republicans' trickery.

"Republican leaders have brought up distractions like New York City mosques and gay marriage to distract voters from Republicans' big-government track record. We hope that Tea Partiers will see through the smoke and mirrors.

"While our nation is declining dangerously right now, a turnaround could be straightforward and simple with Libertarian steps like these: 1. Bring our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan; 2. Stop rewarding failed companies with bailouts; 3. Cut taxes and spending and let the free market work.

"The Libertarian Party is fielding 168 candidates for U.S. House, and 20 candidates for U.S. Senate this year. Win or lose, a vote for a Libertarian sends a clear message for smaller government and more freedom. What message does a vote for John McCain send?"

The LP is America's third-largest political party, founded in 1971. The Libertarian Party stands for free markets and civil liberties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party at our website.

Net Neutrality now!

2010-08-17T09:46:00.000-07:00

It MUST NOT be up to giant corporations to decide the rules and regulations that govern their behavior!

The banking and insurance industries were given that power by a defunct Congress, and look at the sorry state of affairs the Country, and the World financial systems are in because of that power to self govern.

The FCC should act immediately to protect the long-standing principle of net neutrality so that the Internet can continue to grow, fuel innovation and facilitate communication World wide.

Today the Internet serves as our open source, our "town square" -- where we talk to one another, exchange views, find information from many diverse sources of news and opinion, write our blogs, share our opinions, contact candidates, and engage in our democracy. We must make certain that for-profit interests don't destroy the democratic free enterprise culture of the web.

Since its inception, the Internet was, and has been an open highway for communication between individuals world wide.

As a community, friendships have been forged that are on going, and long lasting.

Written communications between family members have increased in no small part due to e-mail communications, and small businesses have thrived all due to open net neutrality.

Now along comes Corporate GREED attempting to take over the FCC’s job of regulating the Internet! This can’t be allowed to happen.

The FCC has been empowered by the people that use the Internet to govern it and keep it a fair and open FREE WAY of information; the same as the FCC was empowered to govern the air ways for Radio, and TV.

As a small business entrepreneur whose very business life depends on a fair and open Internet, the plan put forth by Google and Verizon spells DOOM for my business, and millions of others like me.

Without net neutrality allowing us the same privilege and access to our customers as the larger deeper pocket corporations we will fold and close our doors.

In an era of a declining tax base because the Government has allowed major corporations to take their holdings off shore, and discontinue paying taxes, it is more important than ever that the small businesses be allowed to thrive and contribute to the tax base.

Net neutrality must be protected once and for all time from the monomaniacal GREED of the huge telecoms.

The FCC must listen to the voices of the millions of constituents that are demanding net neutrality and weigh their decision on the balance of the good for the many, rather than for the wealth of the few!

If you wish your voice to be heard by the FCC, CLICK HERE NOW Add your voice to the millions petitioning the FCC to save net neutrality from the GREED of Google, and Verizon.

Recent Senate Votes
Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act - Vote Agreed to (61-39)

The Senate passed this bill to provide $16.1 billion to extend increased Medicaid assistance to states and $10 billion in funding for states to create or retain teachers’ jobs. The House must vote on the bill next.

Sen. Sam Brownback voted NO...

Nomination of Elena Kagan, of Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States - Vote Confirmed (63-37)

The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to be a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She was sworn in on Saturday.

Sen. Sam Brownback voted NO...

He just keeps voting no on anything that will aid the average person, Now if you were an oil, coal, mining, or timber company with deep pockets, he'd vote yes on anything you put forth just to keep the money flowing in his direction.

What a Guy!

See that he's unemployed come November!

And he's got guts enough to run for Govenor

Recent Senate Votes

Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act - Vote Rejected (57-41, 2 Not Voting)

The Senate rejected ending debate on this campaign finance disclosure legislation. The bill will likely not return to the Senate floor until September.

Sen. Sam Brownback voted NO...
Sen. Pat Roberts voted NO...

Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010 - Vote Rejected (58-42)

The Senate rejected ending debate on this bill that aims to expand the availability of credit to small businesses. The Senate may work more on the bill this week.

Sen. Sam Brownback voted NO...
Sen. Pat Roberts voted NO...

Brownback, AKA, bushbacker voted against extending unemployment benefits for the Kansans that had run out of benefits, and were at risk of becoming not only homeless, but without food for their families.

Now he has the Guts to run for Governor of Kansas so he can continue screwing the people of Kansas only more directly. He's accepting a paycheck as Kansas Senator while he politics for his run for Governor just like he used his Paycheck as a Kansas Senator while he made an un-successful run for President.

This guy has no ethics, if he did he'd resign from one Government job while he's seeking another.

He misses Senate votes, is absent from the Senate floor because he's busy campaigning for another job! Yet his hand is stretched out for his paycheck in spite of the fact that he doesn't do his job.

If Kansans forget how badly he's served them in the Senate, and vote him in for Governor, Kansans have voted to fill their air space with Coal Soot from the new Coal fired Electric Plants he'll approve in Western Kansas.

Brownback is in Corporate Americas Pocket, and unless you have deep pockets that can contribute to him forget getting any type of legislation passed that will help the average citizen....

Don't make the mistake thinking that his smile makes him one of the 'good guys' cause his only agenda is to be 'KING'

Use your vote in November to place him in the un-employed roles where he belongs!

This is an idea that will make your tongue jump out of your mouth, slap you in the face and say "Oh - Yeah!

AIG plans to pay $100 million in another round of bonuses

** Editors Note:

I believe it's time that every policy holder of AIG switch insurance companies! If this company 'AIG' has enough surplus of money after accepting a bail out from the Country to again pay millions of dollars in bonus' to their top exec's then they're making too much money, and their policy holders should abandon them to their own devices! SWITCH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

AIG plans to pay $100 million in another round of bonuses

By Brady Dennis
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, February 3, 2010; 12:11 AM

American International Group plans Wednesday to pay another round of employee bonuses, worth about $100 million, said several people familiar with the matter, a year after similar payments at the bailed-out insurance giant infuriated many Americans and inflamed Washington.

This week's retention payments go to those employees at the company's Financial Products division who agreed recently to accept 10 to 20 percent less money than AIG had initially promised them two years ago. In return, they are to receive their payments more than a month ahead of schedule.

The company is still scheduled to pay out tens of millions of dollars more in March, mostly to former employees who did not agree to the concessions.

AIG executives have been scrambling to hammer out a compromise before March 15, when the firm faces a deadline to pay nearly $200 million in bonuses to employees at Financial Products, the unit whose risky derivatives deals brought the insurer to the brink of collapse in 2008. Government and AIG officials have been eager to avoid a repeat of the public furor that erupted last March when an earlier round of payments -- worth $168 million -- went to the same set of employees.

While many in the public and on Capitol Hill have been angered by outsize paydays at financial firms, the AIG retention bonuses have been especially rankling because the company has received a federal rescue package of about $180 billion in loans, stock investments and other commitments from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department.

People familiar with the negotiations said about 97 percent of current employees at the Financial Products division agreed last week to forgo 10 percent of their upcoming bonuses in return for early payment. Participation rates have remained far lower -- about 35 percent, two people said -- among former employees, who were asked to surrender 20 percent of their bonuses.

Gerry Pasciucco, who was hired after the bailout to run Financial Products and help dismantle it, sent an e-mail to employees this week explaining that the company had decided to move forward with the reduced payments. "We expect payment to be received in your account no later than Wednesday, Feb. 3," it read in part.

"This lets us, as a business, pivot away from this issue," said one Financial Products employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record. "Current employees stepped up. They want to continue to do their business. They obviously want to get beyond this."

Andrew Goodstadt, a New York lawyer who represents more than a dozen current and former Financial Products employees, said he hoped the deal would be a step toward normalcy. "My clients are looking forward to getting paid their contractual entitlements," he said, "and resolving this matter once and for all."
Seeking repayment

The new payments are in part an attempt by AIG to meet two demands from U.S. compensation czar Kenneth R. Feinberg. One is to scale back the size of the bonuses. By paying the employees less than they had been promised, the company is also seeking to compensate for $26 million that Financial Products employees had said they would return last year but did not.

At the height of the controversy last spring, employees at the firm signaled they would return a total of $45 million by the end of 2009. A government audit in the fall showed that only about $19 million was returned. Feinberg has insisted that the full amount be repaid, though the $20 million in recent concessions still falls short of that mark.

AIG has been consulting with Feinberg about its negotiations with employees over reducing their bonuses in return for early payment.

"We are greatly appreciative that virtually all -- some 97 percent -- of active FP employees have volunteered to reduce their upcoming 2010 payment to help achieve our giveback target," AIG spokesman Mark Herr said. "We have decided to begin these reduced payments to these active employees as well as those non-active employees who agreed to reductions. The reductions from these two groups stand at about $20 million, and we believe this allows us to largely put this matter behind us."

Herr added that some former employees had agreed to reduce their payments by an additional $4.5 million, but it remained unclear whether that money could count toward the payback goal. "Nonetheless, we will continue to work with the non-active employees to round out the remaining amount of our giveback target over the next few months," Herr said.

"These payments are tied to employment contracts from 2007 that fell outside the jurisdiction of the Special Master [Feinberg] and the law," said Andrew Williams, a Treasury spokesman. "We are encouraged that AIG employees are making good on the repayment pledges they made last spring."

Few aspects of the financial crisis have angered lawmakers and ordinary Americans as much as the AIG bonuses. On Tuesday, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said of the latest round of payments: "The Obama administration has been outmaneuvered, and the closed-door negotiations just add to the skepticism that the taxpayers will ever get the upper hand."
Legally binding

The roots of the controversy developed months before the government's rescue of the giant insurer. As the housing bubble was collapsing and the company's trading in financial derivatives called credit-default swaps was starting to cost the company billions of dollars, AIG officials instituted the guaranteed retention payments to keep employees during the coming period of financial instability. Financial Products employees were promised more than $400 million in retention pay, with lump sums due in March 2009 and March 2010.

Government and AIG officials agreed last year that the bonuses at Financial Products, however unsavory they might seem after the company's multiple federal bailouts, were legally binding. That explanation did not sit well with millions of Americans who were out of work and whose tax dollars had gone to prop up the faltering insurance giant.

When word of the payments erupted into a national news story last March, President Obama vowed to "pursue every single legal avenue to block" the bonuses. Lawmakers backed a bill that would have taxed the payments to Financial Products employees at 90 percent. The issue eventually died down -- publicly, at least -- but government and AIG officials recognized that the second round of payments due this March threatened to stoke public anger once again.

Financial Products has shrunk steadily during the past year, winding down the number of derivatives trades on its books to about 16,000 at the end of 2009 from 44,000 before the bailout. It has closed offices in Hong Kong and Tokyo and reduced its staff to 237 employees from 428.

"People will be relieved that they can now remove this as a distraction, focus on the task at hand and go on with their lives," one Financial Products employee said of this week's compromise. "People did it to put it behind them."

Open Letter to President Obama on Health Care Reform From Margaret Flowers, MD | ProsperityAgenda.US

Open Letter to President Obama on Health Care Reform From Margaret Flowers, MD | ProsperityAgenda.US

Obama opened the door a crack but no one can get through because of security, and politics. He asked for advice, but isn't available to hear it!

Open Letter to President Obama on Health Care Reform From Margaret Flowers, MD
Jan 27, 2010 — KZeese

January 28, 2010

President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear President Obama,

I was overjoyed to hear you say in your State of the Union address last night:

“But if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know.”

My colleagues, fellow health advocates and I have been trying to meet with you for over a year now because we have an approach which will meet all of your goals and more.

I am a pediatrician who, like many of my primary care colleagues, left practice because it is nearly impossible to deliver high quality health care in this environment. I have been volunteering for Physicians for a National Health Program ever since. For over a year now, I have been working with the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Health Care/ National Single Payer Alliance. This alliance represents over 20 million people nationwide from doctors to nurses to labor, faith and community groups who advocate on behalf of the majority of Americans, including doctors, who favor a national Medicare for All health system.

I felt very optimistic when Congress took up health care reform last January because I remember when you spoke to the Illinois AFL-CIO in June, 2003 and said:

"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program." (applause) "I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that's what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that's what I'd like to see."

But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House."

And that is why I was so surprised when the voices of those who support a national single payer plan/Medicare for All were excluded in place of the voices of the very health insurance and pharmaceutical industries which profit off the current health care situation.

There was an opportunity this past year to create universal and financially-sustainable health care reform rather than expensive health insurance reform.

As you well know, the United States spends the most per capita on health care in the world yet leaves millions of people out and receives poor return on those health care dollars in terms of health outcomes and efficiency. This poor value for our health care dollar is due to the waste of having so many insurance companies. At least a third of our health care dollars go towards activities that have nothing to do with health care such as marketing, administration and high executive salaries and bonuses. This represents over $400 billion per year which could be used to pay for health care for all of those Americans who are suffering and dying from preventable causes.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. You said that you wanted to “keep what works” and that would be Medicare. Medicare is an American legacy of which we can feel proud. It has guaranteed health security to all who have it. Medicare has lifted senior citizens out of poverty. Health disparities, which are rising in this nation, begin to disappear as soon as patients reach 65 years of age. And patients and doctors prefer Medicare to private insurance. Why, our Medicare has even been used as a model by other nations which have developed and implemented universal health systems.

Mr. President, we wanted to meet with you because we have the solution to health care reform. The United States has enough money already and we have the resources, including esteemed experts in public health, health policy and health financing. Our very own Dr. William Hsiao at Harvard has designed health systems in five other countries.

I am asking you to meet with me because the solution is simple. Remove all of the industries who profit off of the American health care catastrophe from the table. Replace them with those who are knowledgeable in designing health systems and who are without ties to the for-profit medical industries. And then allow them to design an improved Medicare for All national health system. We can implement it within a year of designing such a system.

What are the benefits of doing this?

• It will save tens of thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands) of American lives each year, not to mention the prevention of unnecessary suffering.

• It will relieve families of medical debt, which is the number one cause of bankruptcy and foreclosure despite the fact that most of those who experienced bankruptcy had health insurance.

• It will relieve businesses of the growing burden of skyrocketing health insurance premiums so that they can invest in innovation, hiring, increased wages and other benefits and so they can compete in the global market. For example, it is estimated to provide a major stimulus for the U.S. economy by creating 2.6 million new jobs, and infusing $317 billion in new business and public revenues, with another $100 billion in wages.

• It will control health care costs in a rational way through global budgeting and negotiation for fair prices for pharmaceuticals and services.

• It will allow patients the freedom to choose wherever they want to go for health care and will allow patients and their caregivers to determine which care is best without denials by insurance administrators.

• It will restore the physician-patient relationship and bring satisfaction back to the practice of medicine so that more doctors will stay in or return to practice.

• It will allow our people in our nation to be healthy and productive and able to support themselves and their families.

• It will create a legacy for your administration that may someday elevate you to the same hero status as Tommy Douglas has in Canada.

Mr. President, there are more benefits, but I believe you get the point. I look forward to meeting with you and am so pleased that you are open to our ideas. The Medicare for All campaign is growing rapidly and is ready to support you as we move forward on health care reform that will provide America with one of the best health systems in the world. And that is something of which all Americans can be proud.

With great anticipation and deep respect,

Margaret Flowers, M.D.

Stop the Corporate take over of American Politics

2010-01-23T07:45:00.000-08:00

http://action.citizen.org/t/10315/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=2190

"Presented by Jim Hightower"

Last September, I wrote The Hightower Lowdown about how the Roberts' Court could throw out over 100 years of campaign finance law.

Remember their names: Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas.

Yesterday, from within the dark isolation of the Supreme Court, these five men pulled off a black-robed coup against the American people's democratic authority. In an unprecedented perversion of judicial power, this court cabal has decreed that corporations have a free-speech "right" to dip into their corporate coffers and spend unlimited sums of money to elect or defeat candidates of their choosing.

Corporate interests already had too much money power over our political system. No other group in America comes anywhere near the spending clout that this relatively small clutch of wealthy special interests wields over our elections and government. So it's ludicrous for anyone – much less Supreme Court judges – to argue that the corporate voice is a victim of political "censorship." This is not merely judicial activism, it is judicial radicalism.

Thomas Jefferson warned about the dangerous rise of corporate power, declaring that must "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations." Today, I'm sure that founding patriots like Jefferson are not simply spinning in their graves at the Supreme Court's surrender to this aristocracy – they're trying to claw their way out of their graves to throttle all five of the traitors.

We MUST fight back. Many good groups are working on this issue, and we all have to get involved to fight against this corporate take over of our political system. Public Citizen has a petition we can sign. Common Cause is asking us to contact your congressperson and make sure they have signed on to the Fair Elections Now Act. I mentioned other good groups that are working on this issue. Get in touch with them. Let's fight the good fight... and win! Onward!

Tell the FCC to Stand Up for Net Neutrality! | Save the Internet

2010-01-12T09:28:00.000-08:00

Tell the FCC to Stand Up for Net Neutrality! | Save the Internet

If the FCC bows down to the huge telecoms, and cable companies it will put millions of small business at risk because they will not be able to compete against the giants of corporate America that will be able to pay increased fees to market their products.

Net Neutrality allows information to freely flow on the Internet as it was originally conceived and designed to do by the early pioneers of the Internet.

Public access to all in all equality is what the founders of the Internet had in mind; a free flowing exchange of Ideas available to everyone that had computer access.

With out Net Neutrality, that Idea fails because the huge telecoms, and cable companies will decide who gets delivery of their information, and at what speed. Deep pocketed corporations will rule the Internet, and those with less capital backing them will only hope for delivery of their messages in a timely fashion.

The telecoms and cable companies do not own the Internet, it is a public trust just as the radio and television air waves are a public trust. The FCC oversees these media avenues for the 'PEOPLE' that has empowered them to do so. If the FCC allows the telecoms, and cable companies to rule the Internet, they will have violated the public trust.

An open Internet with Net Neutrality is the last open opportunity for the small entrepreneur to attempt to compete in a corporate run world!

Because telecoms, and cable companies saw a business opportunity, and had the capital to put the idea into operation, only means that they have the opportunity to sell their services to those that wish them. It does not give them the right to force out other entrepreneurs from doing business on the Internet.

Do not give into them!

The lively hood of millions of small entrepreneurs depend on your decision to maintain Net Neutrality!

Tell the FCC how you feel about Net Neutrality here!

Winning the war on terrorism with silence!

2010-01-06T07:08:00.000-08:00

Every brand, every idea requires one very important ingredient to become successful.

Coke, Pepsi, would not have become household names World Wide without this one essential ingredient.

Terrorism requires the same essential ingredient in order to grow, and survive!

This one essential ingredient reaches out to even the most remote areas of Earth, and effects the ideas and behavior of every living person Planet wide.

It comes in a plethora of ways, never the same format, but always the same nonetheless.

We live in the information age!

And Media dictates our every thought from morning to night.

Good thoughts and evil thoughts are put in our faces to digest every moment of each and every day with little thought to the repercussions or the outcome.

Thoughts are things, and the more attention paid to a single thought, the more powerful it becomes.

Until at last it becomes a tangible thing, taking on a life of its own, and growing into something worthwhile, or incredibly evil simply because of the power of thought...

Terrorism begins as a thought in the minds of fanatical people.

They share that thought with more fanatics, or lost souls seeking a way to show that they live, and the idea grows.

Then one of the fanatics does a terrible thing to mankind, and the media tells the world about it.

The idea gets the one essential ingredient required for massive growth; publicity, and it grows even greater in size.

Again a fanatic does something terrible, and the media gives it more growth until at last it has the attention of the world, and its growth is nearly unstoppable.

Nearly is the key word here!

If an idea doesn’t receive any attention, it simply fades, and after a while it doesn’t exist because no one remembers it.

We can send all the troops in the world.

Spend millions, and billions, and even trillions of dollars in an attempt to combat terrorism, but until we use the weapon of silence, we are simply fueling the growth of terrorism by applying the one thing it requires to grow; ATTENTION!

If we eliminate reference to terrorism in our media, we take away terrorism’s biggest weapon.

Yes, they’ll still have their armament, but as time goes on, and less and less press is given their activities there will come a time when they discover that no one is noticing and their cause will die of inattention!

Of course it will be impossible to dismiss, or ignore their terrorist acts towards their fellow men, but if it is reported in a different manner, giving no name to terrorism, simply reporting that X # of people died because a building fell, or a car had an accident, and it’s gas tank exploded, etc. etc. .

We give terrorism no credit, and begin its demise!

No matter how much they rant, and rail if no one pays attention, or gives lip service to their activities; they are destined to wither, and die of inattention!

We can win the war on terrorism with SILENCE!

My Christmas wish is for Health Care Reform

2009-12-11T09:52:00.000-08:00

Dear career politicians, Mr. President, Mr. Vice-President, Congressmen/women, and Senators!

I am a constituent, and this holiday season, my wish is for health reform.

I don't want a flimsy insurance plan that I can't afford to buy, and I certainly don't want that kind of program made mandatory where I am forced to decide does my family eat or pay insurance premiums for a bad health care program written and backed by the insurance lobby.

What I want for Christmas is H.R. 676 to be approved, and signed into law. This plan is one that you Pat Roberts are currently using for yourself, and if it's good enough for you, it is certainly good enough for me.

I've read this bill H.R.676, and it eliminates the insurance industries meddling with my families health care.

H.R. 676 is Medicare for all: we already pay into it with deductions on each paycheck we earn. It is fully funded already, and working beautifully isn't it Pat Roberts?

Why are you fighting so hard to keep us from getting what we are already paying into. You have chosen this option for your own health care, I want it for my family too...

Sam Brownback if you can manage to show up to vote, the same argument is directed to you.

Quit fighting on behalf of the insurance lobby, and fight on the side of the people you're supposed to be representing when you manage to make it to the Senate floor for a vote.

Yes fellas, I watch you like a hawk, I know when you vote, how you vote and when you don't bother to show up to vote. I'm like Santa; I know if you've been bad or good and am not above letting all your constituents know what you've been up to.

Next election, will you get a lump of coal in your stocking, or a vote of approval?

You'd better start thinking about that!

Lobbyists, put money into your coffers, but there's not enough of them when it comes to voting to win an election.

It's your constituents that stuff the ballot box with their votes that keep you sitting in that comfortable political chair you occupy.

One more little thing fellas if you think this letter is only going to be read by your staff and trashed, think again; it's on my blog, and Internet wide already!

Merry Christmas!

CLEANING UP THE BUSH LEGACY

2009-10-31T10:39:00.000-07:00

The years 2000 through 2008 —

the two presidential terms served by George W. Bush — amount to what might be called the Dark Ages for endangered species across the country.

This administration was hands-down the worst in history for listing species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, with only 61 species earning federal protection throughout the entire eight years — compared to 522 under the Clinton administration and 231 under Bush 41. Besides dragging its feet on responding to listing petitions, fighting stubbornly against protecting species in court, and constantly using the “candidate list” to put off protections indefinitely for fast-fading plants and animals, the Bush administration regularly stooped to corrupt tactics that let politics dictate endangered species decisions to put industry interests over conservation. Even for species that did earn Endangered Species Act status under Bush, true protections weren’t guaranteed — take the polar bear for example, which was robbed of protections from global warming by a special "4(d)" rule finalized in late 2008. And in case all that wasn’t enough to ensure Bush’s eco-infamy for ages,

just before he left office he finalized changes gutting the rules that have made the Endangered Species Act successful for 35 years.

Thankfully, current Interior Secretary Ken Salazar rescinded the rules eviscerating the Act — but he retained the 4(d) rule, which would doom the polar bear to extinction.

Needless to say, the Center was very busy throughout George W. Bush’s regrettable presidency,

not only with lawsuits for individual species but also leading the way in exposing the administration’s bad actions to the media and policymakers and pushing the drive to reform.

Unfortunately, the mess Bush made of our planet and wildlife-protection laws is a big one, and we’re still cleaning it up.

Apocalypse Soon: Halloween Interview on Overpopulation with Kierán Suckling

Scared of ghosts, goblins, and jack-o-lanterns? None of those are on the Santa Fe Reporter's list of the top five environmental horrors. But human overpopulation is. "Apocalypse Soon: Today's Environmental Horrors Could Lead to a Scary Sci-Fi Future" interviews Center for Biological Diversity director Kierán Suckling. Click below to read the whole article. Here are few excerpts:

"Virtually everything that is destroying wildlife habitat and the environment is driven by overpopulation," Kierán Suckling, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity, says.

"Whether it's too many people diverting water out of the Rio Grande or too much wood use leading to the logging of old-growth forests…the bottom line is there are too many people using too many resources to be able to have a healthy environment."

"It's great to focus on reducing our carbon footprint, but...unless we start reducing the footprints to begin with, we and other species are not going to survive on this planet."

"The majority of environmental groups avoid addressing overpopulation like the plague…I think that's largely because they lack the courage of their convictions… they are fearful that in saying that [we are overpopulated] they will be viewed as being anti-human somehow--as if squalor and overpopulation is somehow pro-human."

Read the Santa Fe Reporter interview and learn what the Center's doing to confront the overpopulation crisis head-on.

NEWS: New Weiner Study Shows 151 Members of House and Senate Get the “Public Option” Now
Weiner Calls on GOP Opponents of the Public Option to Give Up Their Medicare

WASHINGTON, DC—A new study by Representative Anthony Weiner (D – Queens & Brooklyn), member of the Health Subcommittee and Co-Chair of the Caucus on the Middle Class, revealed that 151 members of the House and Senate currently receive government-funded; government-administered single-payer health care - Medicare. {H.R.676 is a medicare supported single payer public option health care bill}

On the list of recipients are 55 Republicans who have steadfastly opposed other Americans getting the public option, like the one they have chosen.

Weiner said, “Even in a town known for hypocrisy, this list of 55 Members of Congress deserve some sort of prize. They apparently think the public option is ok for them, but not anyone else.”

This is an open letter to all elected representatives about Health Care Reform!

2009-10-16T11:04:00.000-07:00

Think about this!

When you let an insurance lobbyist donate to you to vote against health care reform, the money they are giving you is money that you gave them earlier this year when you bailed them out of all their financial wrong doings.

It's not costing them one thin cent to spend money lobbying against health care reform.

Health Care Reform that may if you are doing your job for the people that elected you; cost them money in lost insurance premiums.

Insurance premiums which they keep hiking the rates on; so that ordinary working people who didn't get a Government bailout can't afford to own health care insurance.

Insurance Companies can afford to give huge bonus checks to their top executives based on the bail out money Your generosity already gave them... and you could be giving them even more if you don't vote to reform health care and eliminate the insurance industry from health care.

Give us H.R.676 it's the only plan that helps "The People", and not the insurance industries...

Do something for "The People", not just the deep pockets that are parked in
your offices.

Besides, how are we going to be able to afford insurance premiums when we
don't have jobs?

If you were really working for The People You'd vote in huge tax levys on Corporations that receive money from business' that they have moved off shore; eliminating American Jobs!

I guess if we're on welfare, then we'll get free
medical won't we?...

If you agree with this open letter, then now is the time to act!

Send it on to all of your elected representatives, and don't forget the President!

Click here to connect to Congress.org and send it to your representatives, and the President!

Here is H.R.676 you
should read it as it was written then you'll see what a good bill it is, and
how much it really is a bill that will Reform Health Care, and help "The People"
Not the insurance industry! "We The People" can force our elected representatives to give us this health care reform if enough of us will act NOW!

And because the Government thinks that we are not
smart enough to know that when we click on a link &
it takes us to a site where we may be inclined to
make a purchase; All Advertising links on this
blog are paid endorsements!

There that takes care of the FTC.

Support H.R. 676 single payer health care.

2009-10-13T13:08:00.000-07:00

As the vote on health care reform works its way through Congress, the insurance industry is doing its best to weaken already too weak bills. In fact, the bills Congress is considering will give the insurance industry hundreds of billions in new annual revenue by forcing Americans to buy their overpriced insurance. But, even with this massive giveaway the insurance industry is twisting the screws to squeeze every bit of profit out of "reform," consistently putting profits before patients.

Prosperity Agenda has been urging a different approach, the most popular reform among Americans, a single payer national health care system - improved Medicare for all. We've protested in Congress, written letters, emails, faxes and called. We are not giving up. Our Mobilization for Health Care is going national in two days and is already catching fire.

When we launched the campaign we sought 100 people willing to risk arrest in protests of the insurance industry, already 700 have signed up. We hoped for 3 to 4 cities by this stage, now "Patients Not Profit" sit-ins will be happening in at least 9 cities across the country this Thursday! There is a hunger in America for a vision like this. The incredible response of people has left no doubt - people want to end insurance company abuse. Click here for the list of cities where mobilizations will occur on Thursday, and there will be even more on the next day of action, October 28th (coincidentally, my birthday!). If you have not signed up to participate, please visit www.MobilizeForHealthCare.org and do so now.

The Congressional leadership took single payer off the table, but we pushed and now we have two important single payer votes before the full House of Representatives. First, this week Rep. Anthony Weiner will be introducing an amendment on the House Floor to replace the current bill with a single payer system. Second, Rep. Dennis Kucinich's amendment, making it easier for state's to pass single payer, will also be voted on in the House. Please click here to write your representative to urge support for both these amendments and urge the House to not force people to buy overpriced insurance.

We do not expect the Weiner Amendment to pass - there have been no hearings and little public discussion - but it is important that this vote receive as high a vote total as possible. Similarly, the Kucinich Amendment faces a challenge to pass with the insurance corporations working hard to defeat it. But, both of these historic, first-ever votes on single payer health care give us a chance to see who our allies in Congress are and who are our opponents. Push now. Contact your representative to support these amendments and oppose the requirement forcing Americans to buy overpriced private insurance.

Congress has demonstrated that the multi-payer, private health system cannot work. The plans pushed by President Obama and the congressional leadership will leave tens of millions without health care and not control costs. In fact, the insurance industry issued a report this week that said insurance costs will rise by 111% by 2019 under the reform bill to $25,900 for the average family and $9,700 for the average individual.

Since Congress failed to solve America's health problem, we are also working at the state level. Several states are near passage of single payer systems. When Canada created its national health system it first passed in one province. After it worked there it became national policy. There's a bi-partisan bill working its way through the Pennsylvania legislature right now, and Prosperity Agenda is already working to help pass it. Join me on October 20 in Pennsylvania's capitol rotunda in Harrisburg for the Healthcare4allPA Rally. We're urging everyone in surrounding states to attend so Pennsylvania can create a model for the rest of the country to follow.

Other states - California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio - are also close to passage of a single payer system that rids the nation of the scourge of private insurance.

This year has seen tremendous growth in the vitality of the Medicare for All movement. On October 15th the Mobilization for Health Care will demonstrate a new political force in the American landscape - Americans fed up with the real death panels, the insurance industry who are seeking to end their abuse once and for all. Join us in seeking a health care system that guarantees the right to health care for all. The status quo cannot continue, and current reform proposals simply will not solve the problem. Sign up to join us on the national days of action this Thursday and on October 28th.
Thank you to all who have donated so far - we could not do this without you! If you can make a donation to help build this campaign, please donate now.

Sincerely,

Kevin Zeese
Executive Director

Erick Holder ARE YOU LISTENING?

Today at 4:40am

It’s not every day that retired generals denounce a Vice President. But two distinguished military leaders felt compelled to speak out against Mr. Cheney’s support of torture, in an op-ed in today’s Miami Herald. (full article below)

Help us fight back against Mr. Cheney’s dangerous media blitz: share this note with your friends on Facebook!

General Charles C. Krulak and General Joseph P. Hoar have this to say:

In the fear that followed 9/11, Americans were told that defeating Al Qaeda would require us to “take off the gloves.” As a former Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and a retired Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Central Command, we knew that was a recipe for disaster. But we never imagined that we would feel duty-bound to publicly denounce a Vice President of the United States, a man who has served our country for many years. In light of the irresponsible statements recently made by former Vice President Dick Cheney, however, we feel we must repudiate his dangerous ideas – and his scare tactics.

Human Rights First has been working for years with this group of distinguished retired admirals and generals to advocate an end to torture and official cruelty. President Obama called upon this group to stand behind him as he signed the executive orders ending these practices and announcing the closure of Guantanamo. Read more about our work with this group: http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/advocacy/militaryleaders.aspx]

Fear was no Excuse to Condone Torture

By Charles C. Krulak and Joseph P. Hoar

In the fear that followed 9/11, Americans were told that defeating Al Qaeda would require us to “take off the gloves.” As a former Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and a retired Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Central Command, we knew that was a recipe for disaster. But we never imagined that we would feel duty-bound to publicly denounce a Vice President of the United States, a man who has served our country for many years. In light of the irresponsible statements recently made by former Vice President Dick Cheney, however, we feel we must repudiate his dangerous ideas – and his scare tactics.

We have seen how ill-conceived policies that ignored military law on treatment of enemy prisoners hindered our ability to defeat al Qaeda. We have seen American troops die at the hands of foreign fighters recruited with stories about tortured Muslim detainees at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. And yet Mr. Cheney and others who orchestrated America’s disastrous trip to “the dark side” continue to assert – against all evidence -- that torture “worked” and that our country is better off for having gone there.

In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Mr. Cheney applauded the “enhanced interrogation techniques” -- what we used to call war crimes because they violated the Geneva Conventions, which the U.S. instigated and has followed for sixty years. Mr. Cheney insisted the abusive techniques were “absolutely essential in saving thousands of American lives and preventing further attacks against the United States.” He claimed they were “directly responsible for the fact that for eight years, we had no further mass casualty attacks against the United States. It was good policy... It worked very, very well.”

Repeating these assertions doesn’t make them true. As more of the record emerges, we now see that the best intelligence – that led to the capture of Sadaam Hussein and the elimination of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi—was produced by professional interrogations using non-coercive techniques. When the abuse began, prisoners told interrogators whatever they thought would make it stop.

The U.S. military has always known that torture is as likely to produce lies as the truth. And it did.

What American leaders say matters. So when it comes to light, as it did last week, that U.S. interrogators staged mock executions and held a whirling electric drill close to the body of a naked, hooded detainee, and the former Vice President of the United States winks and nods, it matters.

The Bush administration had already degraded the rules of war by authorizing techniques that violated the Geneva Conventions and shocked the conscience of the world. Now Mr. Cheney has publicly condoned the abuse that went beyond even those weakened standards, leading us down a slippery slope of lawlessness.

Rules about the humane treatment of prisoners exist precisely to deter those in the field from taking matters into their own hands. They protect our nation’s honor.

To argue that honorable conduct is only required against an honorable enemy degrades the Americans who must carry out the orders. As military professionals, we know that complex situational ethics cannot be applied during the stress of combat. The rules must be firm and absolute; if torture is broached as a possibility, it will become a reality. Moral equivocation about abuse at the top of the chain of command travels through the ranks at warp speed.

On August 24, the United States took an important step toward moral clarity and the rule of law when a special task force recommended that in the future, the Army interrogation manual should be the single standard for all agencies of the U.S. government.

The unanimous decision represents an unusual consensus among the defense, intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security agencies. Members of the task force had access to every scrap of intelligence, yet they drew the opposite conclusion from Mr. Cheney’s. They concluded that far from making us safer, cruelty betrays American values and harms U.S. national security.

On this solemn day we all pause to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11. As our leaders work to prevent terrorists from again striking on our soil, they should remember the fundamental precept of counterinsurgency we’ve relearned in Afghanistan and Iraq: undermine the enemy’s legitimacy while building our own. These wars will not be won on the battlefield. They will be won in the hearts of young men who decide not to sign up to be fighters and young women who decline to be suicide bombers. If Americans torture and it comes to light – as it inevitably will – it embitters and alienates the very people we need most.

Our current Commander in Chief understands this. The Task Force recommendations take us a step closer to restoring the rule of law and the standards of human dignity that made us who we are as a nation. Repudiating torture and other cruelty helps keep us from being sent on fools’ errands by bad intelligence. And in the end, that makes us all safer.

Charles C. Krulak was commandant of the Marine Corps from 1995 to 1999. Joseph P. Hoar was commander in chief of U.S. Central Command from 1991 to 1994.

** Editors note **

It appears from these statements by men that were under his direct command, we have ample evidence to try cheney and bush for war crimes, what are we waiting for?

If our attorney general has wet his pants from fear of these two despots, perhaps the World Court at the Hague isn't so squeamish and fearful of it's political future, and will place these two WAR CRIMINALS under arrest, and bring about a much needed trial.

I would buy a ticket to their hanging after the courts find them guilty as they truly are, and I'd bet that there will be a very long ticket line!

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
_________________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release September 9, 2009

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS
ON HEALTH CARE

U.S. Capitol
Washington, D.C.

8:16 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Madam Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, and the American people:

When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system was on the verge of collapse.

As any American who is still looking for work or a way to pay their bills will tell you, we are by no means out of the woods. A full and vibrant recovery is still many months away. And I will not let up until those Americans who seek jobs can find them -- (applause) -- until those businesses that seek capital and credit can thrive; until all responsible homeowners can stay in their homes. That is our ultimate goal. But thanks to the bold and decisive action we've taken since January, I can stand here with confidence and say that we have pulled this economy back from the brink. (Applause.)

I want to thank the members of this body for your efforts and your support in these last several months, and especially those who've taken the difficult votes that have put us on a path to recovery. I also want to thank the American people for their patience and resolve during this trying time for our nation.

But we did not come here just to clean up crises. We came here to build a future. (Applause.) So tonight, I return to speak to all of you about an issue that is central to that future -- and that is the issue of health care.

I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last. (Applause.) It has now been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health care reform. And ever since, nearly every President and Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session. (Applause.)

Our collective failure to meet this challenge -- year after year, decade after decade -- has led us to the breaking point. Everyone understands the extraordinary hardships that are placed on the uninsured, who live every day just one accident or illness away from bankruptcy. These are not primarily people on welfare. These are middle-class Americans. Some can't get insurance on the job. Others are self-employed, and can't afford it, since buying insurance on your own costs you three times as much as the coverage you get from your employer. Many other Americans who are willing and able to pay are still denied insurance due to previous illnesses or conditions that insurance companies decide are too risky or too expensive to cover.

We are the only democracy -- the only advanced democracy on Earth -- the only wealthy nation -- that allows such hardship for millions of its people. There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage. In just a two-year period, one in every three Americans goes without health care coverage at some point. And every day, 14,000 Americans lose their coverage. In other words, it can happen to anyone.

But the problem that plagues the health care system is not just a problem for the uninsured. Those who do have insurance have never had less security and stability than they do today. More and more Americans worry that if you move, lose your job, or change your job, you'll lose your health insurance too. More and more Americans pay their premiums, only to discover that their insurance company has dropped their coverage when they get sick, or won't pay the full cost of care. It happens every day.

One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because his insurer found that he hadn't reported gallstones that he didn't even know about. They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it. Another woman from Texas was about to get a double mastectomy when her insurance company canceled her policy because she forgot to declare a case of acne. By the time she had her insurance reinstated, her breast cancer had more than doubled in size. That is heart-breaking, it is wrong, and no one should be treated that way in the United States of America. (Applause.)

Then there's the problem of rising cost. We spend one and a half times more per person on health care than any other country, but we aren't any healthier for it. This is one of the reasons that insurance premiums have gone up three times faster than wages. It's why so many employers -- especially small businesses -- are forcing their employees to pay more for insurance, or are dropping their coverage entirely. It's why so many aspiring entrepreneurs cannot afford to open a business in the first place, and why American businesses that compete internationally -- like our automakers -- are at a huge disadvantage. And it's why those of us with health insurance are also paying a hidden and growing tax for those without it -- about $1,000 per year that pays for somebody else's emergency room and charitable care.

Finally, our health care system is placing an unsustainable burden on taxpayers. When health care costs grow at the rate they have, it puts greater pressure on programs like Medicare and Medicaid. If we do nothing to slow these skyrocketing costs, we will eventually be spending more on Medicare and Medicaid than every other government program combined. Put simply, our health care problem is our deficit problem. Nothing else even comes close. Nothing else. (Applause.)

Now, these are the facts. Nobody disputes them. We know we must reform this system. The question is how.

There are those on the left who believe that the only way to fix the system is through a single-payer system like Canada's -- (applause) -- where we would severely restrict the private insurance market and have the government provide coverage for everybody. On the right, there are those who argue that we should end employer-based systems and leave individuals to buy health insurance on their own.

I've said -- I have to say that there are arguments to be made for both these approaches. But either one would represent a radical shift that would disrupt the health care most people currently have. Since health care represents one-sixth of our economy, I believe it makes more sense to build on what works and fix what doesn't, rather than try to build an entirely new system from scratch. (Applause.) And that is precisely what those of you in Congress have tried to do over the past several months.

During that time, we've seen Washington at its best and at its worst.

We've seen many in this chamber work tirelessly for the better part of this year to offer thoughtful ideas about how to achieve reform. Of the five committees asked to develop bills, four have completed their work, and the Senate Finance Committee announced today that it will move forward next week. That has never happened before. Our overall efforts have been supported by an unprecedented coalition of doctors and nurses; hospitals, seniors' groups, and even drug companies -- many of whom opposed reform in the past. And there is agreement in this chamber on about 80 percent of what needs to be done, putting us closer to the goal of reform than we have ever been.

But what we've also seen in these last months is the same partisan spectacle that only hardens the disdain many Americans have towards their own government. Instead of honest debate, we've seen scare tactics. Some have dug into unyielding ideological camps that offer no hope of compromise. Too many have used this as an opportunity to score short-term political points, even if it robs the country of our opportunity to solve a long-term challenge. And out of this blizzard of charges and counter-charges, confusion has reigned.

Well, the time for bickering is over. The time for games has passed. (Applause.) Now is the season for action. Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together, and show the American people that we can still do what we were sent here to do. Now is the time to deliver on health care. Now is the time to deliver on health care.

The plan I'm announcing tonight would meet three basic goals. It will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance. It will provide insurance for those who don't. And it will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government. (Applause.) It's a plan that asks everyone to take responsibility for meeting this challenge -- not just government, not just insurance companies, but everybody including employers and individuals. And it's a plan that incorporates ideas from senators and congressmen, from Democrats and Republicans -- and yes, from some of my opponents in both the primary and general election.

Here are the details that every American needs to know about this plan. First, if you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. (Applause.) Let me repeat this: Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.

What this plan will do is make the insurance you have work better for you. Under this plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a preexisting condition. (Applause.) As soon as I sign this bill, it will be against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick or water it down when you need it the most. (Applause.) They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or in a lifetime. (Applause.) We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick. (Applause.) And insurance companies will be required to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies -- (applause) -- because there's no reason we shouldn't be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse. That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives. (Applause.)

Now, that's what Americans who have health insurance can expect from this plan -- more security and more stability.

Now, if you're one of the tens of millions of Americans who don't currently have health insurance, the second part of this plan will finally offer you quality, affordable choices. (Applause.) If you lose your job or you change your job, you'll be able to get coverage. If you strike out on your own and start a small business, you'll be able to get coverage. We'll do this by creating a new insurance exchange -- a marketplace where individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for health insurance at competitive prices. Insurance companies will have an incentive to participate in this exchange because it lets them compete for millions of new customers. As one big group, these customers will have greater leverage to bargain with the insurance companies for better prices and quality coverage. This is how large companies and government employees get affordable insurance. It's how everyone in this Congress gets affordable insurance. And it's time to give every American the same opportunity that we give ourselves. (Applause.)

Now, for those individuals and small businesses who still can't afford the lower-priced insurance available in the exchange, we'll provide tax credits, the size of which will be based on your need. And all insurance companies that want access to this new marketplace will have to abide by the consumer protections I already mentioned. This exchange will take effect in four years, which will give us time to do it right. In the meantime, for those Americans who can't get insurance today because they have preexisting medical conditions, we will immediately offer low-cost coverage that will protect you against financial ruin if you become seriously ill. (Applause.) This was a good idea when Senator John McCain proposed it in the campaign, it's a good idea now, and we should all embrace it. (Applause.)

Now, even if we provide these affordable options, there may be those -- especially the young and the healthy -- who still want to take the risk and go without coverage. There may still be companies that refuse to do right by their workers by giving them coverage. The problem is, such irresponsible behavior costs all the rest of us money. If there are affordable options and people still don't sign up for health insurance, it means we pay for these people's expensive emergency room visits. If some businesses don't provide workers health care, it forces the rest of us to pick up the tab when their workers get sick, and gives those businesses an unfair advantage over their competitors. And unless everybody does their part, many of the insurance reforms we seek -- especially requiring insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions -- just can't be achieved.

And that's why under my plan, individuals will be required to carry basic health insurance -- just as most states require you to carry auto insurance. (Applause.) Likewise -- likewise, businesses will be required to either offer their workers health care, or chip in to help cover the cost of their workers. There will be a hardship waiver for those individuals who still can't afford coverage, and 95 percent of all small businesses, because of their size and narrow profit margin, would be exempt from these requirements. (Applause.) But we can't have large businesses and individuals who can afford coverage game the system by avoiding responsibility to themselves or their employees. Improving our health care system only works if everybody does their part.

And while there remain some significant details to be ironed out, I believe -- (laughter) -- I believe a broad consensus exists for the aspects of the plan I just outlined: consumer protections for those with insurance, an exchange that allows individuals and small businesses to purchase affordable coverage, and a requirement that people who can afford insurance get insurance.

And I have no doubt that these reforms would greatly benefit Americans from all walks of life, as well as the economy as a whole. Still, given all the misinformation that's been spread over the past few months, I realize -- (applause) -- I realize that many Americans have grown nervous about reform. So tonight I want to address some of the key controversies that are still out there.

Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but by prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple. (Applause.)

There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: You lie! (Boos.)

THE PRESIDENT: It's not true. And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up -- under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place. (Applause.)

Now, my health care proposal has also been attacked by some who oppose reform as a "government takeover" of the entire health care system. As proof, critics point to a provision in our plan that allows the uninsured and small businesses to choose a publicly sponsored insurance option, administered by the government just like Medicaid or Medicare. (Applause.)

So let me set the record straight here. My guiding principle is, and always has been, that consumers do better when there is choice and competition. That's how the market works. (Applause.) Unfortunately, in 34 states, 75 percent of the insurance market is controlled by five or fewer companies. In Alabama, almost 90 percent is controlled by just one company. And without competition, the price of insurance goes up and quality goes down. And it makes it easier for insurance companies to treat their customers badly -- by cherry-picking the healthiest individuals and trying to drop the sickest, by overcharging small businesses who have no leverage, and by jacking up rates.

Insurance executives don't do this because they're bad people; they do it because it's profitable. As one former insurance executive testified before Congress, insurance companies are not only encouraged to find reasons to drop the seriously ill, they are rewarded for it. All of this is in service of meeting what this former executive called "Wall Street's relentless profit expectations."

Now, I have no interest in putting insurance companies out of business. They provide a legitimate service, and employ a lot of our friends and neighbors. I just want to hold them accountable. (Applause.) And the insurance reforms that I've already mentioned would do just that. But an additional step we can take to keep insurance companies honest is by making a not-for-profit public option available in the insurance exchange. (Applause.) Now, let me be clear. Let me be clear. It would only be an option for those who don't have insurance. No one would be forced to choose it, and it would not impact those of you who already have insurance. In fact, based on Congressional Budget Office estimates, we believe that less than 5 percent of Americans would sign up.

Despite all this, the insurance companies and their allies don't like this idea. They argue that these private companies can't fairly compete with the government. And they'd be right if taxpayers were subsidizing this public insurance option. But they won't be. I've insisted that like any private insurance company, the public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient and rely on the premiums it collects. But by avoiding some of the overhead that gets eaten up at private companies by profits and excessive administrative costs and executive salaries, it could provide a good deal for consumers, and would also keep pressure on private insurers to keep their policies affordable and treat their customers better, the same way public colleges and universities provide additional choice and competition to students without in any way inhibiting a vibrant system of private colleges and universities. (Applause.)

Now, it is -- it's worth noting that a strong majority of Americans still favor a public insurance option of the sort I've proposed tonight. But its impact shouldn't be exaggerated -- by the left or the right or the media. It is only one part of my plan, and shouldn't be used as a handy excuse for the usual Washington ideological battles. To my progressive friends, I would remind you that for decades, the driving idea behind reform has been to end insurance company abuses and make coverage available for those without it. (Applause.) The public option -- the public option is only a means to that end -- and we should remain open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal. And to my Republican friends, I say that rather than making wild claims about a government takeover of health care, we should work together to address any legitimate concerns you may have. (Applause.)

For example -- for example, some have suggested that the public option go into effect only in those markets where insurance companies are not providing affordable policies. Others have proposed a co-op or another non-profit entity to administer the plan. These are all constructive ideas worth exploring. But I will not back down on the basic principle that if Americans can't find affordable coverage, we will provide you with a choice. (Applause.) And I will make sure that no government bureaucrat or insurance company bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you need. (Applause.)

Finally, let me discuss an issue that is a great concern to me, to members of this chamber, and to the public -- and that's how we pay for this plan.

And here's what you need to know. First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future. (Applause.) I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period. And to prove that I'm serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize. (Applause.) Now, part of the reason I faced a trillion-dollar deficit when I walked in the door of the White House is because too many initiatives over the last decade were not paid for -- from the Iraq war to tax breaks for the wealthy. (Applause.) I will not make that same mistake with health care.

Second, we've estimated that most of this plan can be paid for by finding savings within the existing health care system, a system that is currently full of waste and abuse. Right now, too much of the hard-earned savings and tax dollars we spend on health care don't make us any healthier. That's not my judgment -- it's the judgment of medical professionals across this country. And this is also true when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid.

In fact, I want to speak directly to seniors for a moment, because Medicare is another issue that's been subjected to demagoguery and distortion during the course of this debate.

More than four decades ago, this nation stood up for the principle that after a lifetime of hard work, our seniors should not be left to struggle with a pile of medical bills in their later years. That's how Medicare was born. And it remains a sacred trust that must be passed down from one generation to the next. (Applause.) And that is why not a dollar of the Medicare trust fund will be used to pay for this plan. (Applause.)

The only thing this plan would eliminate is the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud, as well as unwarranted subsidies in Medicare that go to insurance companies -- subsidies that do everything to pad their profits but don't improve the care of seniors. And we will also create an independent commission of doctors and medical experts charged with identifying more waste in the years ahead. (Applause.)

Now, these steps will ensure that you -- America's seniors -- get the benefits you've been promised. They will ensure that Medicare is there for future generations. And we can use some of the savings to fill the gap in coverage that forces too many seniors to pay thousands of dollars a year out of their own pockets for prescription drugs. (Applause.) That's what this plan will do for you. So don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut, especially since some of the same folks who are spreading these tall tales have fought against Medicare in the past and just this year supported a budget that would essentially have turned Medicare into a privatized voucher program. That will not happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare. (Applause.)

Now, because Medicare is such a big part of the health care system, making the program more efficient can help usher in changes in the way we deliver health care that can reduce costs for everybody. We have long known that some places -- like the Intermountain Healthcare in Utah or the Geisinger Health System in rural Pennsylvania -- offer high-quality care at costs below average. So the commission can help encourage the adoption of these common-sense best practices by doctors and medical professionals throughout the system -- everything from reducing hospital infection rates to encouraging better coordination between teams of doctors.

Reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan. (Applause.) Now, much of the rest would be paid for with revenues from the very same drug and insurance companies that stand to benefit from tens of millions of new customers. And this reform will charge insurance companies a fee for their most expensive policies, which will encourage them to provide greater value for the money -- an idea which has the support of Democratic and Republican experts. And according to these same experts, this modest change could help hold down the cost of health care for all of us in the long run.

Now, finally, many in this chamber -- particularly on the Republican side of the aisle -- have long insisted that reforming our medical malpractice laws can help bring down the cost of health care. (Applause.) Now -- there you go. There you go. Now, I don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs. (Applause.) So I'm proposing that we move forward on a range of ideas about how to put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine. (Applause.) I know that the Bush administration considered authorizing demonstration projects in individual states to test these ideas. I think it's a good idea, and I'm directing my Secretary of Health and Human Services to move forward on this initiative today. (Applause.)

Now, add it all up, and the plan I'm proposing will cost around $900 billion over 10 years -- less than we have spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans that Congress passed at the beginning of the previous administration. (Applause.) Now, most of these costs will be paid for with money already being spent -- but spent badly -- in the existing health care system. The plan will not add to our deficit. The middle class will realize greater security, not higher taxes. And if we are able to slow the growth of health care costs by just one-tenth of 1 percent each year -- one-tenth of 1 percent -- it will actually reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term.

Now, this is the plan I'm proposing. It's a plan that incorporates ideas from many of the people in this room tonight -- Democrats and Republicans. And I will continue to seek common ground in the weeks ahead. If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen. My door is always open.

But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it. (Applause.) I won't stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what's in this plan, we will call you out. (Applause.) And I will not -- and I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.

Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it the most. And more will die as a result. We know these things to be true.

That is why we cannot fail. Because there are too many Americans counting on us to succeed -- the ones who suffer silently, and the ones who shared their stories with us at town halls, in e-mails, and in letters.

I received one of those letters a few days ago. It was from our beloved friend and colleague, Ted Kennedy. He had written it back in May, shortly after he was told that his illness was terminal. He asked that it be delivered upon his death.

In it, he spoke about what a happy time his last months were, thanks to the love and support of family and friends, his wife, Vicki, his amazing children, who are all here tonight. And he expressed confidence that this would be the year that health care reform -- "that great unfinished business of our society," he called it -- would finally pass. He repeated the truth that health care is decisive for our future prosperity, but he also reminded me that "it concerns more than material things." "What we face," he wrote, "is above all a moral issue; at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country."

I've thought about that phrase quite a bit in recent days -- the character of our country. One of the unique and wonderful things about America has always been our self-reliance, our rugged individualism, our fierce defense of freedom and our healthy skepticism of government. And figuring out the appropriate size and role of government has always been a source of rigorous and, yes, sometimes angry debate. That's our history.

For some of Ted Kennedy's critics, his brand of liberalism represented an affront to American liberty. In their minds, his passion for universal health care was nothing more than a passion for big government.

But those of us who knew Teddy and worked with him here -- people of both parties -- know that what drove him was something more. His friend Orrin Hatch -- he knows that. They worked together to provide children with health insurance. His friend John McCain knows that. They worked together on a Patient's Bill of Rights. His friend Chuck Grassley knows that. They worked together to provide health care to children with disabilities.

On issues like these, Ted Kennedy's passion was born not of some rigid ideology, but of his own experience. It was the experience of having two children stricken with cancer. He never forgot the sheer terror and helplessness that any parent feels when a child is badly sick. And he was able to imagine what it must be like for those without insurance, what it would be like to have to say to a wife or a child or an aging parent, there is something that could make you better, but I just can't afford it.

That large-heartedness -- that concern and regard for the plight of others -- is not a partisan feeling. It's not a Republican or a Democratic feeling. It, too, is part of the American character -- our ability to stand in other people's shoes; a recognition that we are all in this together, and when fortune turns against one of us, others are there to lend a helping hand; a belief that in this country, hard work and responsibility should be rewarded by some measure of security and fair play; and an acknowledgment that sometimes government has to step in to help deliver on that promise.

This has always been the history of our progress. In 1935, when over half of our seniors could not support themselves and millions had seen their savings wiped away, there were those who argued that Social Security would lead to socialism, but the men and women of Congress stood fast, and we are all the better for it. In 1965, when some argued that Medicare represented a government takeover of health care, members of Congress -- Democrats and Republicans -- did not back down. They joined together so that all of us could enter our golden years with some basic peace of mind.

You see, our predecessors understood that government could not, and should not, solve every problem. They understood that there are instances when the gains in security from government action are not worth the added constraints on our freedom. But they also understood that the danger of too much government is matched by the perils of too little; that without the leavening hand of wise policy, markets can crash, monopolies can stifle competition, the vulnerable can be exploited. And they knew that when any government measure, no matter how carefully crafted or beneficial, is subject to scorn; when any efforts to help people in need are attacked as un-American; when facts and reason are thrown overboard and only timidity passes for wisdom, and we can no longer even engage in a civil conversation with each other over the things that truly matter -- that at that point we don't merely lose our capacity to solve big challenges. We lose something essential about ourselves.

That was true then. It remains true today. I understand how difficult this health care debate has been. I know that many in this country are deeply skeptical that government is looking out for them. I understand that the politically safe move would be to kick the can further down the road -- to defer reform one more year, or one more election, or one more term.

But that is not what the moment calls for. That's not what we came here to do. We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. I still believe we can act even when it's hard. (Applause.) I still believe -- I still believe that we can act when it's hard. I still believe we can replace acrimony with civility, and gridlock with progress. I still believe we can do great things, and that here and now we will meet history's test.

Because that's who we are. That is our calling. That is our character. Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)

The biggest reason not to inoculate for H1N1

2009-08-28T09:26:00.000-07:00

“So, tell me about the history of the amendment again. I’m too young to remember.”

“Well, it all started with the hog flu, which killed off an enormous percentage of the population. Seems it reacted to the chemicals released in the body of those who are habitual liars.”

“And that’s what wiped out the Republican party?”

“Well, they didn’t have any candidates left to run for office.

Then there was the deer-antler flu, so-named because some hunter from the midwest contracted it from a deer antler. A white stag, actually. Very Arthurian, somehow.”

“That was the one that hit people with a low IQ?”

“Not exactly. It attacked those who were not using their brains, independent of mental capacity.

That took care of anybody who would have even thought of voting Republican.

On further investigation, scientists discovered that thoughtfulness leads to consideration for others, resulting in an alteration of body chemistry which was completely lacking in Republicans.
But by then it was too late.

“The following year, the Green Party won a landslide victory, and we were able to end all wars on the planet, completely end starvation, hunger, and poverty everywhere on the planet, demolish the nuclear arms stockpiles, eliminate pesticide use, eliminate greenhouse emissions, cease entirely the use of petroleum products by massive conservation and converting to a largely solar-based fuel economy, properly fund all schools, including programs in art, music, sculpture, and dance, save all the remaining rainforests, end all whaling and overfishing, and basically bringing about basic peace and contentment planet-wide while ceasing all forms of environmental destruction.”

ECONOMY
Stimulating Hypocrisy

Earlier this year, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 without a single Republican vote in the House of Representatives and with the support of only three Republicans in the Senate. This stimulus bill, which included $552 billion in spending and $275 billion in tax cuts, has provided much-needed support to state and local economies across the country. Cognizant to this fact, conservatives have jumped on the chance to personally deliver stimulus money to their cash-strapped states and districts, while conveniently brushing past their original opposition. A two-faced approach to the stimulus debate has become routine for many Republicans, with many GOP lawmakers who are standing against the stimulus in Washington, D.C., but touting it when they travel home to their constituents.

CONGRESSIONAL HYPOCRITES: Several House Republicans who opposed the Recovery Act quickly returned to their districts to tout projects that it funded. Stimulus opponent Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) met with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (D) and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood recently to solicit stimulus money for streetcar expansions and road repairs. Cao proudly boasted that he is looking "at federal monies that the state has and channeling more of that money to the district." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) earlier this month asked for stimulus funds to be diverted into paying down the deficit rather than paying it out to states. But the same day he took credit for the construction site at Blue Grass Army Depot in Madison County, Kentucky -- a project that was funded in large part by the Recovery Act. One of the most brazen acts of hypocrisy came from House Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), who has repeatedly claimed that the stimulus is "failing" to create jobs. Earlier this month, Cantor appeared at a job fair in Midlothian, VA, to demonstrate how he is working on "long-term solutions that will put...Virginia workers back on the path to financial stability." But scores of jobs advertised at the jobs fair were created by the stimulus, and Chesterfield County, where the fair was being held, will receive more than $38 million in stimulus funding over the next two years.

HYPOCRITICAL GOVERNORS: Republican governors lined up to attack the Recovery Act and oppose its passage as well. Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), said if he was still a member of Congress he would've voted against the stimulus and wrote an op-ed in Politico lambasting the Recovery Act's effect, calling it the "stimulus that has not stimulated." Yet the very next day, he appeared with constituents in Louisiana to present a jumbo-sized check of federal grant money authorized under the Recovery Act to residents of Vernon Parish. He later toured the state in a "Louisiana Working" tour, handing out millions of dollars of stimulus money while simultaneously attacking "Washington Spending." Similarly, Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last year titled "Don't Bail Out My State," proudly boasting about being the only governor to travel to Washington to lobby against the stimulus package. Yet after the legislation was passed, Sanford changed his mind and told reporters that being against the Recovery Act "doesn't preclude taking the money." In April, Sanford became the last governor to seek economic recovery funds.

THE STIMULUS IS WORKING: The Council of Economic Advisers, in a report released earlier this month, called the Recovery Act the "boldest countercyclical fiscal stimulus in American history" and concluded that the stimulus added nearly 500,000 jobs to the economy in the second quarter of 2009 that would not have been there without it. Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), one of the few Republicans who voted in favor of the stimulus, noted last March that even "those who were opposed to the stimulus spending will see some of the projects that are underway in their communities as they've initiated." Snowe said she believes that the effect of the spending has been to create an "amazing" number of projects in her home state. Many conservatives who opposed the stimulus or the idea of Keynesian spending in general have started to line up to defend the Recovery Act. On Aug. 7, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who served as Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) chief economic adviser during his 2008 campaign, told reporters that "no one would argue that the stimulus has done nothing." Three days later, Niall Ferguson of the conservative Hoover Institution said the Recovery Act "has clearly made a significant contribution to stabilizing the US economy."

AND THIS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT REASON FOR NOT INOCULATING FOR H1N1 WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THOSE REPUGNANTS SOME HOW, SO THE WORLD WILL BE A SANER, MORE WORTHWHILE PLACE TO LIVE!

We launched www.WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck this week to knock down the rumors and lies that are floating around the internet. You can find the information below, and much more, there. For example, we've just added a video of Nancy-Ann DeParle from our Health Reform Office tackling a viral email head on. Check it out:

8 ways reform provides security and stability to those with or without coverage

Ends Discrimination for Pre-Existing Conditions: Insurance companies will be prohibited from refusing you coverage because of your medical history.

Ends Exorbitant Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Deductibles or Co-Pays: Insurance companies will have to abide by yearly caps on how much they can charge for out-of-pocket expenses.

Ends Cost-Sharing for Preventive Care: Insurance companies must fully cover, without charge, regular checkups and tests that help you prevent illness, such as mammograms or eye and foot exams for diabetics.

Ends Dropping of Coverage for Seriously Ill: Insurance companies will be prohibited from dropping or watering down insurance coverage for those who become seriously ill.

Ends Gender Discrimination: Insurance companies will be prohibited from charging you more because of your gender.

Ends Annual or Lifetime Caps on Coverage: Insurance companies will be prevented from placing annual or lifetime caps on the coverage you receive.

Extends Coverage for Young Adults: Children would continue to be eligible for family coverage through the age of 26.

Guarantees Insurance Renewal: Insurance companies will be required to renew any policy as long as the policyholder pays their premium in full. Insurance companies won't be allowed to refuse renewal because someone became sick.

8 common myths about health insurance reform

Reform will stop "rationing" - not increase it: It’s a myth that reform will mean a "government takeover" of health care or lead to "rationing." To the contrary, reform will forbid many forms of rationing that are currently being used by insurance companies.

We can’t afford reform: It's the status quo we can't afford. It’s a myth that reform will bust the budget. To the contrary, the President has identified ways to pay for the vast majority of the up-front costs by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse within existing government health programs; ending big subsidies to insurance companies; and increasing efficiency with such steps as coordinating care and streamlining paperwork. In the long term, reform can help bring down costs that will otherwise lead to a fiscal crisis.

Reform would encourage "euthanasia": It does not. It’s a malicious myth that reform would encourage or even require euthanasia for seniors. For seniors who want to consult with their family and physicians about end-of life decisions, reform will help to cover these voluntary, private consultations for those who want help with these personal and difficult family decisions.

Vets' health care is safe and sound: It’s a myth that health insurance reform will affect veterans' access to the care they get now. To the contrary, the President's budget significantly expands coverage under the VA, extending care to 500,000 more veterans who were previously excluded. The VA Healthcare system will continue to be available for all eligible veterans.

Reform will benefit small business - not burden it: It’s a myth that health insurance reform will hurt small businesses. To the contrary, reform will ease the burdens on small businesses, provide tax credits to help them pay for employee coverage and help level the playing field with big firms who pay much less to cover their employees on average.

Your Medicare is safe, and stronger with reform: It’s myth that Health Insurance Reform would be financed by cutting Medicare benefits. To the contrary, reform will improve the long-term financial health of Medicare, ensure better coordination, eliminate waste and unnecessary subsidies to insurance companies, and help to close the Medicare "doughnut" hole to make prescription drugs more affordable for seniors.

You can keep your own insurance: It’s myth that reform will force you out of your current insurance plan or force you to change doctors. To the contrary, reform will expand your choices, not eliminate them.

No, government will not do anything with your bank account: It is an absurd myth that government will be in charge of your bank accounts. Health insurance reform will simplify administration, making it easier and more convenient for you to pay bills in a method that you choose. Just like paying a phone bill or a utility bill, you can pay by traditional check, or by a direct electronic payment. And forms will be standardized so they will be easier to understand. The choice is up to you – and the same rules of privacy will apply as they do for all other electronic payments that people make.

8 Reasons We Need Health Insurance Reform Now

Coverage Denied to Millions: A recent national survey estimated that 12.6 million non-elderly adults – 36 percent of those who tried to purchase health insurance directly from an insurance company in the individual insurance market – were in fact discriminated against because of a pre-existing condition in the previous three years or dropped from coverage when they became seriously ill. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/denied_coverage/index.html

Less Care for More Costs: With each passing year, Americans are paying more for health care coverage. Employer-sponsored health insurance premiums have nearly doubled since 2000, a rate three times faster than wages. In 2008, the average premium for a family plan purchased through an employer was $12,680, nearly the annual earnings of a full-time minimum wage job. Americans pay more than ever for health insurance, but get less coverage. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/hiddencosts/index.html

Roadblocks to Care for Women: Women’s reproductive health requires more regular contact with health care providers, including yearly pap smears, mammograms, and obstetric care. Women are also more likely to report fair or poor health than men (9.5% versus 9.0%). While rates of chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure are similar to men, women are twice as likely to suffer from headaches and are more likely to experience joint, back or neck pain. These chronic conditions often require regular and frequent treatment and follow-up care. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/women/index.html

Hard Times in the Heartland: Throughout rural America, there are nearly 50 million people who face challenges in accessing health care. The past several decades have consistently shown higher rates of poverty, mortality, uninsurance, and limited access to a primary health care provider in rural areas. With the recent economic downturn, there is potential for an increase in many of the health disparities and access concerns that are already elevated in rural communities. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/hardtimes

Small Businesses Struggle to Provide Health Coverage: Nearly one-third of the uninsured – 13 million people – are employees of firms with less than 100 workers. From 2000 to 2007, the proportion of non-elderly Americans covered by employer-based health insurance fell from 66% to 61%. Much of this decline stems from small business. The percentage of small businesses offering coverage dropped from 68% to 59%, while large firms held stable at 99%. About a third of such workers in firms with fewer than 50 employees obtain insurance through a spouse. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/helpbottomline

The Tragedies are Personal: Half of all personal bankruptcies are at least partly the result of medical expenses. The typical elderly couple may have to save nearly $300,000 to pay for health costs not covered by Medicare alone. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/inaction

Diminishing Access to Care: From 2000 to 2007, the proportion of non-elderly Americans covered by employer-based health insurance fell from 66% to 61%. An estimated 87 million people - one in every three Americans under the age of 65 - were uninsured at some point in 2007 and 2008. More than 80% of the uninsured are in working families. Learn more: http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/inaction/diminishing/index.html

The Trends are Troubling: Without reform, health care costs will continue to skyrocket unabated, putting unbearable strain on families, businesses, and state and federal government budgets. Perhaps the most visible sign of the need for health care reform is the 46 million Americans currently without health insurance - projections suggest that this number will rise to about 72 million in 2040 in the absence of reform.

A SOLUTION TO THE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE CRISIS IN AMERICA

2009-08-08T10:39:00.000-07:00

June 15, 2009 --- Doug Dowell, Juris Doctor -- AUTHOR

A SOLUTION TO THE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE CRISIS IN AMERICA

A single payer health care system is needed in America to eliminate the red tape and unconscionable profits generated by private industry health insurers. Single payer coverage can provide quality health care at reasonable costs for all citizens and legal residents of the United State.

This single payer insurer would be subject to rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Congress and operated by The Social Security Administration. Benefits would be the same as are provided to members of the U.S. Congress.

Removing the profit motive from health care insurance would save vast sums of money since the single payer insurer would be required to have an “open-book” accounting system subject to congressional audit and public scrutiny (fair-minded persons who have been opposed to the adoption of a single payer system would be shocked to learn about the unconscionable profits going into the pockets of senior executives of private health insurers that recruit and train claims adjusters to deny legitimate health insurance claims).

Under my plan deposits to Social Security would be used only for Social Security purposes (to include universal health care – and – there would be no upper income limits on the obligation to make Social Security Contributions). My plan would require that our legislators quit “borrowing” from social security deposits – and -- quit using “earmarks” to fund projects that all too often result in private gain at public cost.

The single payer insurer would be much like the U.S. Postal Service. Salaries of those employed by this Social Security insurer would be akin to those of postal managers and employees. Coverage would be fully portable and pre-existing health conditions would be fully covered. Like the Veterans Administration, this single payer insurer would be able to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to lower prescription costs. This system would have simplified medical insurance claim forms. Recipients of medical/dental services, supplies, equipment, and prescriptions would be required to sign an affidavit of need -- as would the provider. Persons who attempt to “cheat” the system would be subject to prosecution with heavy fines and/or jail time.

In summary, this single payer health coverage system would provide for the health care needs of all, and, would result in huge benefits to our national economy and our national morale. Single payer coverage can become a reality by 2010 if enough of us demand that our legislators take immediate action. Google Single Payer Health Insurance – view Bill Moyers Journal (33 minute interview of two physicians who support single payer).

When will Palin "the bloody bitch" stop the slaughter?

2009-05-28T08:38:00.000-07:00

We’ve seen appalling new images of Governor Sarah Palin’s cruel war on wolves -- pictures Palin would never want seen on a postcard from Alaska:

Wolf carcasses skinned and stacked in piles in the woods;
Dead wolves riddled with buckshot and lying bloody in the snow;
Sarah Palin’s hired killers smiling and posing in front of an airplane loaded down with recently slaughtered wolves.

[1]
You can help expose Palin’s brutal, senseless killing of Alaska’s wolves.Your contribution of $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or another amount will help Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund keep the national spotlight on Palin’s barbarism, lobby for federal legislation to end this awful wolf killing program and protect wolves and other imperiled wildlife.

On June 6th, we have a unique chance to reach more citizens and media about the Palin carnage. She is scheduled to be in Auburn, New York to celebrate 50 years of Alaska statehood and New Yorker William Seward’s 1867 purchase of Alaska -- a purchase then known as “Seward’s Folly.”

With your donation, we’ll make sure that more caring people learn the truth about Sarah’s Palin’s own folly -- an expensive, unscientific and horrific wolf-killing program that has already massacred more than 1,000 wolves.

To place the next round of Eye on Palin television ads in this New York market, we need to raise $75,000 by next Monday (June 1st). Can you send what you can afford?

The gruesome images described above are just the tip of the iceberg.

After Palin's henchmen executed 14 poor pups last summer -- with a shot each to the head -- and more than 250 wolves were killed during the recently concluded 2008/2009 aerial gunning season, Palin's administration is resorting to even more extreme tactics to kill wolves.

This summer, poison gas bombs will be thrown into dens and snares will be set at the mouths of dens to kill off newborn pups and to prevent wolf numbers from increasing.

Extreme wolf-killing programs like these are already having a devastating effect on wolf populations. Wolf population estimates indicate that almost all of the wolves in the Upper Yukon/Tanana predator control region (near the Yukon Charlie Rivers National Wildlife Preserve) may have been killed over the winter, with 133 wolves killed by aerial gunning and another 80 expected to be trapped. [2]

Don’t let Palin and her trophy hunting cronies get away with it. Please donate now to help save the lives of wolves targeted by Palin’s brutal programs.

Besides keeping the media heat on Palin, your compassionate contribution will build momentum for passage of federal legislation to end her aerial wolf-killing programs an effort that has already garnered more than 30 original co-sponsors for the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act.

With your caring support, we will end this cruelty. Please donate now.

With Gratitude,

Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

P.S. We need to make our media buys to expose Palin’s aerial wolf killing very soon. Please make a secure donation online now or call 1-800-425-4632 to make a donation by phone.

Notes

[1] Access to these awful photos is currently restricted. Our sister organization Defenders of Wildlife has filed a request under Alaska’s Open Records Act to make these photos public.

[2] The National Park Service estimates that up to 213 wolves made their homes in the Upper Yukon / Tanana predator control region prior to this past winter’s “control” efforts.

Kansas Senator Roberts seems prone to supports torture

2009-05-19T08:38:00.000-07:00

Thank you for contacting me regarding the release of documents from the Bush administration. I appreciate your taking the time to write on this important issue.

Recently, President Obama released formerly classified legal opinions issued by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration. These opinions detailed the rationale used to authorize the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorists held in custody overseas. While I maintain that the United States should never surrender the moral high ground by condoning torture, I believe that it was unnecessary to release these documents.

I am concerned that the release of these opinions and discussion of prosecuting the officials who drafted them will significantly chill the ability of government attorneys to address complicated legal issues. A nation at war is required to make many difficult choices and that process will only be made harder if we seek to criminalize the judgments of those we ask to make the tough calls. While some may disagree with the choices that were made, I hope we can all agree that they were made in good faith and with the security of the nation in mind.

Again, thank you for writing. I will keep your thoughts in mind as the Senate deals with this issue. If you would like more information on issues before the Senate, please visit my website at http://roberts.senate.gov. You may also sign up on my home page for a monthly electronic newsletter that will provide additional updates on my work for Kansas.

With every best wish,

Sincerely,

Pat Roberts

'The Pen' asks: How many police does it take to silence the voice of the people?

2009-05-10T08:10:00.000-07:00

How many police does it take to silence the voice of the people?

That's a question a despot might ask in a totalitarian police state.
But this week the Senate Finance Committee thought it was a hilarious
joke as they ejected one brave activist after another, for protesting
that not even one spokesperson for single payer health care was being
allowed to sit at the hearing table. Yes, Senator Max Baucus (MT),
who had preemptively declared that consideration of a single payer
option was off the table, actually joked "We need more police [1:58
on video]." And the rest of the Senate panel just laughed their heads
off.

Senator Chuck Grassley (IA), the ranking Republican, not to be
outdone in his contempt for the people, then asked if there was
"somewhere they can watch it on television [2:05 on video]," which
elicted additional hearty guffaws. Yes, what a wonderful entertaining
show that would be, the spectacle of the will of the people being
excluded while corporate special interests, like butchers, carve up
our pocketbooks and our bodies.

Single Payer Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum982.php

On the action page is an extended video where you can hear for
yourself those Senators laughing at us, and you'll be just at
outraged as we are. It's time for the U.S. Senate to get the message
that we the people are not just a joke to be laughed off. Why is it
that not ONE senator on that committee has the integrity to stand up
for a even handed debate of health care issues? Why should any of
them be elected to public office ever again?

So let's see a show of hands. How many of you would like to sign up
now for a commie Marxist national health care system ... like in
Canada, England and other pinko Bolshevik countries like that? How
stupid do they think we are, to try to reduce the terms of the debate
to such an ignorant level? Meet the new mass media scare label,
"socialized" medicine. As opposed to like what ... the ANTI-social
corporate medical insurance industry we have now, where patients have
no role except to be cash cows, by design never to be actually cured?

If you or anyone in your family has ever been seriously ill, and as
we ALL will be someday, you know the medical industry will pick your
bones clean of every dime you ever earned in your life, just in time
to drop you into the cheapest possible pine box.

Single Payer Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum982.php

Why are members of Congress fighting so hard to keep single payer
health care out of the public debate? Because there are no fat
profits in it for their special interest corporate campaign
contributers, who maximize their profits the sicker we are. They
cannot compete with a low overhead efficiently run government
program, just like we have NOW with the existing proven Medicare
system.

Instead, they will line up a bunch of corporate lobbyists and stooges
to tell bald faced lies. Just like Senator Jim Bunning himself who
asserted that Canada and England had tax rate of at LEAST 60% to
support single payer. But they don't even want anyone around to even
have a chance to call them out on their willful and malicious lies.

Yes, all those who love to preach to the rest of us about the free
market and competition are shown to be only interested in a rigged
market and a rigged debate. Baucus may put on a face of being
slightly chastened, but he STILL will not allow any honest testimony
on single payer.

But we can beat them.

This is the pivotal moment. We have been speaking out for HR 676
(Medicare for all) for YEARS. And now 8 incredibly brave activists
have been hauled away because they would not remain silent. But in
doing so, in putting their own bodies on the line, they have shown up
the current "debate" for the total sham that it is.

We are not asking you to put your body on the line. All we are asking
you to do is submit a one click action page that we have specially
configured to send your message to the Senate Finance Committee as a
hard copy pdf that they can't just laugh off, because it will be part
of the permanent record. Plus your message will go to all your
regular members of Congress, plus your nearest daily local newspaper
as well if that option is selected.

Single Payer Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum982.php

At 3:20 of the video posted on the action page above you will hear a
woman loudly ask, "I wonder how many there are?" Let's show them.
Let's show them there are millions and millions of us out here who
will no longer be ignored, who will no longer be laughed off. Because
they KNOW we can stop them if and only if large numbers of us will
raise our voices now.

Let's just do it.

And here is a list of all Senators on the Finance Committee,
including at least a couple who you might have considered to be
"liberals". Where are their voices? Is there not a single one of them
who will stand up and say, "No wait a minute, we need to hear what
the single payer advocates have to say." So especially if one of
these is one of YOUR personal Senator, they especially need to hear
from you now.

Max BAUCUS, MT, John D. ROCKEFELLER IV, WV, Kent CONRAD, ND, Jeff
BINGAMAN, NM, John F. KERRY, MA, Blance L. LINCOLN, AR, Ron WYDEN,
OR, Charles E. SCHUMER, NY, Debbie STABENOW, MI, Maria CANTWELL, WA,
Bill NELSON, FL, Robert MENENDEZ, NJ, Thomas CARPER, DE, Chuck
GRASSLEY, IA, Orrin G. HATCH, UT, Olympia J. SNOWE, ME, Jon KYL, AZ,
Jim BUNNING, KY, Mike CRAPO, ID, Pat ROBERTS, KS, John ENSIGN, NV,
Mike ENZI, WY, John CORNYN, TX,

No, we don't need more police. We need fewer Senators with plugs in
their ears like Max Baucus. And he and the rest of them need to hear
that.

And yes, you can also respond to this action through the new Twitter
gateway. Just send the following Twitter reply, and add any personal
comment you like.

And if you want a step by step explanation of how to set up the
Twitter thing here is the link for that.

No Amnesty for Torturers

2009-04-19T15:28:00.000-07:00

No Amnesty for Torturers

sign the Petition!

18891 of 10000 people have signed – see totals by state and Congressional District.

Petition

On April 16, President Obama said he would not prosecute CIA agents who engaged in torture, because George Bush's lawyers told them it was "legal." President Obama also said Attorney General Eric Holder would use taxpayer dollars to defend torturers against lawsuits by torture victims, and to pay all judgments if they lost.

These decisions are intolerable and unacceptable. Torture is utterly immoral and un-American. It produced absolutely no useful intelligence. It recruited terrorists responsible for at least half the U.S. deaths in Iraq. And it endangered every U.S. soldier who may be captured in the future.

And torture is absolutely illegal. The U.S. ratified the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which prohibits torture and requires prosecution of torturers. In 1947, the U.S. prosecuted a Japanese officer for waterboarding. No lawyer can "legalize" what is illegal.

Congress must take the following actions:

1. Demand the appointment of a Special Prosecutor by Attorney General Eric Holder for torture, warrantless wiretapping, and other heinous crimes of the Bush Administration. (Thanks to Rep. Jerrold Nadler for leading the way!)

2. Prohibit the use of any taxpayer dollars to defend government officials who committed such crimes against lawsuits, or to pay for judgments against them.

3. Impeach Judge Jay Bybee, the torture memo author who serves on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in California.

4. Protect human rights by restoring Habeas Corpus and the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure), including repeal of the Orwellian-named Protect America Act, U.S.A. Patriot Act, the FISA Amendments, and Military Commissions Act.

5. End secret government by prohibiting use of "State Secrets," "Sovereign Immunity" and "Signing Statements."

As my representative in Congress, I urge you to act immediately.

There is no excuse for the crimes that were committed by the bush administration in my name as a citizen of the United States of America.

I absolutely denounce that I gave my permission for these crimes to be committed in my name.

George bush and dick chenney are criminals, and anyone in their administration that gave permission to torture another human being is also a criminal and should be punished to the fullest measure of the law.

We hung Sadam Hussain for the same crimes these criminals have committed against humanity, and they should face no less punishment

Since the Congress, and Senate of the United States of America hasn't the intestional Fortitude to uphold the Constitution of The United States, up holding the laws in this regard, and...

If the United States Government won't punish them, then I urge an International tribunal to be seated and act with swift justice against all the aforementioned criminals.

They did not act in my name as a citizen of the United States, and are outright International criminals and should face International Justice...

They want Total power to forcibly confiscate so-called “unreasonable compensation”

2009-04-06T15:53:00.000-07:00

Your Monday Message from the Libertarian Party:

Dear friend,

I was in the middle of writing a great Message to you this afternoon about how first-time membership in the Libertarian Party has increased every month for the last three months and we’ve seen a 151 percent increase in new volunteers. People are excited about the Libertarian Party!

Then I got a phone call from 202-225-2176.

It was Congressman Alan Grayson’s office.

They’re not sharing the love.

You may have gotten an e-mail from me last Friday about the Florida Democrat and his disturbing

“Pay for Performance”

bill.

If you didn’t, or you’ve forgotten, Grayson’s bill would give the Treasury Secretary complete, absolute and total power to forcibly confiscate so-called “unreasonable compensation” from ANY employee at a company the federal government owns shares of.

Here’s where it gets really scary. The bill does not define what “unreasonable” is. That total and absolute power is given to the unelected Treasury Secretary, who is free to write his own rules.

And judging from his years of unfiled tax returns, he’s not the kind of guy who should be writing his own rules.

That power to confiscate doesn’t just apply to incompetent managers. It even applies to janitors, employees who actually performed their jobs well, or theoretically employees who make good money and oppose President Obama.

It’s also retroactive, meaning they can go back in time and steal money already paid out. Even the Soviet Union didn’t allow that!

Just how enamored is Congressman Grayson with unquestioned government power?

He even went so far as to go on national television and claim the Constitution gives the President’s administration the right to forcibly confiscate money from people the administration feels didn’t “earn” it!

Socialists have been calling for “maximum wage” laws restricting private salaries for years – and using the exact same arguments touted by Grayson. If his bill passes, advocates of a virtual “salary cap” on private individuals will have a toe in the door.

Well, apparently Congressman Grayson isn’t happy with the phone calls he’s been getting from concerned Libertarians.

His office called me around lunch to complain from 202-225-2176.

Yep, they’re giving an unelected bureaucrat – one who’s already proven he can’t follow the law – absolute power to confiscate the earnings of private citizens if he thinks it's "excessive," and they have no shame admitting that.

They just didn’t like the fact the swarms of Libertarians calling their office were more focused on his blatant power grab and not the which specific bailout packages were included.

Not that it matters. Americans are angry over the fact the Treasury Secretary is being given absolute control to write his own rules allowing him to steal private citizen’s paychecks, and all it takes is one quiet amendment to apply the undefined powers to many more companies.

They know it’s not only the first step towards “maximum wage” laws, but that giving the Executive Branch absolute power to confiscate the property of people the president’s administration feels didn’t “earn” -- with no rules or standards in the legislation -- is a frightening step away from the free country we love.

Giving the president absolute, unquestioned, unchecked power to intrude on private citizens was a bad idea under the Bush administration, and it’s still a bad idea under the Obama administration.

And stealing the earnings of private citizens because the president’s appointee feels like they didn’t “earn” it is the first step towards the kind of economy touted by people who look at the rubble of the Soviet Union and think, “Great idea! Let’s do that here!.”

You can call Congressman Grayson yourself at 202-225-2176 to let him know what you think about his plan to give the Obama administration absolute, self-defined power to steal money they just feel people don’t deserve.

Yep. 202-225-2176.

Tell them the Libertarian Party sent you.

With optimism,

Donny Ferguson
Director of Communications
Libertarian National Committee

Alaska's Bloody Witch is at it again!

2009-03-20T13:25:00.000-07:00

Governor Sarah Palin Alaska's Bloody Witch's cruel aerial slaughter has suddenly escalated.

This week, Palin’s henchmen have killed 66 wolves, using helicopters, spotter planes and aerial gunners. To make matters even worse, Palin’s Board of Game has approved the use of poison gas and deadly snares to kill defenseless wolf pups and their families in and around their dens.

Wolves are being slaughtered in record numbers. Please make an emergency donation to help us stop Palin’s killing frenzy and shine the national spotlight on her brutal massacre.

To stop the killing, we...

Supported emergency legal efforts in state court to halt or delay the helicopter assault on wolves near the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, near the area made famous by the 1890s Alaska Gold Rush.

Are working on Capitol Hill with our champion Congressman George Miller of California to win cosponsors for the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act to end Palin’s barbaric aerial killing and prevent programs like it from spreading to other states; and

Are raising public awareness in the media to Palin’s horrible wolf-killing programs in newspapers, on radio and television across the country.

In just a few weeks, Alaska's Bloody Witch Governor Palin is scheduled to appear in Indianapolis. With your emergency help, we can run this ad and ensure that citizens in Indiana and the national media covering her appearance learn the terrible truth of what Palin and her killing thugs have been up to over the last few weeks.

Please make an emergency donation today to help underwrite our state court action and advocacy on Capitol Hill and to expand our Eye on Palin campaign through our new ad.

We need to raise $185, 000 by next Friday to run our ad and expand the Eye on Palin campaign. Please make your donation today.

We can win this fight with your compassionate help. Please send whatever caring contribution you can today. Thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

Rodger Schlickeisen

Because They are Girls!

2009-03-19T10:24:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Did you know that 62 million girls worldwide are not in primary school, just because they're girls?

Or that girls in the developing world are less well-nourished than boys because their brothers are fed first?

Or the disturbing fact that 60% of girls ages 15-19 in sub-Saharan Africa are married?

I just watched this video about children who suffer abuse simply because they are girls. I knew you would be moved by it too.

Will you watch and then join me in asking President Obama to stand up for the rights of young girls around the world? Just click the link below.

http://www.planusa.org/girl2

There are concrete steps that President Obama can take to help girls. A birth registry, for example, will protect girls from early marriage and child labor. President Obama can also help ensure that girls benefit as much as boys from aid money given to developing countries.

This isn't just the right thing to do — it is a critical step in fighting world poverty, improving public health and creating economic opportunity for children around the world.

We won't stop these injustices unless world leaders take notice and take action. And they won't take action unless you and I speak up.

Take a look at this powerful video to learn more, and then ask President Obama to do something about the treatment of young girls in the developing world.

http://www.planusa.org/girl2

Thanks,

Halt all new oil and gas leases in the Arctic Ocean!

2009-03-18T12:58:00.000-07:00

Hi,

I wanted you to know about a plan to lease new areas of the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska to oil and gas companies. Did you know that the area is rich in wildlife?

Hasty new drilling could pose serious risks to Arctic wildlife and local cultures. The walruses, seals, and polar bears that live there are already threatened by the effects of climate change.

Write the MMS and tell them to halt all new oil and gas leases in the Arctic Ocean!

There just isn't enough scientific evidence around the potential impact of drilling in the Arctic yet. And the chance that spills will happen is simply too great—in fact, the MMS predicts there could be 927 chronic small crude oil and other petroleum spills. '

It's extremely important that we stop the devastation of the Bush Administrations last days in office, where they were trying to complete their unfinished agenda. One place we've seen that clearly is in the effort to roll back environmental protections and maximize corporate handouts in their final days.

Write the MMS today to ask that they halt all new leases until the science is in.

This country’s wildlife depends on us for protection—and even though we finally have a pro-environment President in charge, we can't afford to lose our focus.'

Thank you!

From Frozen Minds, A 'Spending Freeze'

Joe Conason
http://www.creators.com

If President Barack Obama's response to the economic crisis is imperfect, as he acknowledges, and if the Congressional Democrats leave much to be desired as well, then Americans can at least be thankful that the nation's fate has not been consigned to the frozen minds on the other side of the aisle. Things are bad, and seem very likely to get worse — but

the Republicans seem determined to plunge us into a real depression, gambling that catastrophe would return them to power.

2 astute people's views on The prevention of global warming

In my minds eye, these people have ideas that are real winners, and we need to get our money grubbing politicians behind these ideas...

The re-establishment of our economy requires plans for development. This can run in tandem with securing our sources of energy and the prevention of global warming:

The prevention of global warming, energy independence, and freedom from fossil fuels will need ALL of the following:

Portugal has led the way to the future in which we will need NO fossil fuels, coal (whether dirty clean coal or dirty dirty coal), gas, or nuclear power.

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

The following needs to be more widely known:

The MOST important actions on prevention of global warming are STILL NOT being done:

1. Research into TIDAL POWER stations: America's Eastern and Western seaboards offer almost unlimited tidal power over 6000 miles.
The only such station in the Western Hemisphere is in Nova Scotia and that province already produces 12% of its electric power from renewable sources.
Hardly anything is being done in this direction in the USA.

2. Portugal has pioneered the way toward COMPLETE freedom from fossil fuels, using a combination of dams for hydro-electric power, solar farms, wind farms and harnessing WAVE POWER with "SEA SNAKES" (Pelamis). These ingenious scavengers of wave power, invented in Scotland, measure 150 metres in length and 3.5 metres in diameter. They each produce enough power to supply about 1500 HOMES, generating electricity by movement of their 4 sections about hinges. A cable along the seabed carries the energy to a substation on the shore.

Portugal had a goal to produce 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2010. Two years ahead of schedule it is at 42% !
[CBC news.ca Oct.22,2008. - Also reported in UN Wire of Oct. 24th.]

America needs to catch up, and to catch up fast !

We need to change the mantra from "Drill baby Drill" to "Snake baby Snake"

WHERE ARE OUR SEA SNAKES? WHY ARE WE WAITING?

3. Research into low cost electric cars and high speed rechargeable batteries. Tesla has already an excellent vehicle, but at too high a cost. We need cheap electric cars and these could easily be made, and would TOTALLY eliminate greenhouse gases from cars.
Any bail out or better, a loan, should be only for the manufacture of electric cars - Now is the time! There are already many different electric vehicles on the market. An additional advantage of an electric car is that no one is going to burn to death trapped in the car.

4. Prepare for recharge stations at service stations and in shopping centre parking lots. Consider an electric pickup through a groove in the main streets of cities. (Like the old trams).

5. Put an immediate ban on all new coal powered power stations, and phase out all of the old ones. Put an immediate ban on all mountain top blast mining for coal and on all industrial river pollution.

6. Put an immediate ban on any new nuclear power stations, and nuclear weapons.
Start to research better ways of disposing of nuclear waste The cost needed for nuclear power construction is staggering and far exceeds the cost of creating wind power and tidal power.

We certainly do not need any more Chernobyls or Three Mile Islands, and nuclear waste will not go away because we want it to. It is well known that the transport of nuclear waste is hazardous, and subject to accidents! The horror of ongoing irradiation of the inhabitants in the Marshall Islands and the innumerable deaths and devastating sickness following nuclear bomb testing many miles away, and the far from reassuring recognition that the ground will remain radioactive for 1500 years does not provide any reason for complacency regarding accidents in transport, at waste dumps in volcanic areas, or at power plants, themselves! Recently revelations from the nuclear reactor in Virginia, detailed multiple accidents and problems, including the release of radioactive waste from a storage tank with radiation into the ground and air. Such accidents are often concealed by corporations.

7. Start the construction of large wind farms and solar farms. (The latter are best located in the southern desert states).
Denmark has shown the feasibility of building wind farms over the sea with turbines supported by pylons driven into the seabed. Even now, very little is being done in this direction in the USA.

8. Careful construction of dams for hydro power using technology to prevent a harmful impact on wildlife and drinkable water supply.

9. Accelerating the date requiring increased mileage rules for gas powered vehicles. The meeting of the "Big Three" showed a move in the right direction but fell short of the previously determined target of 35 miles per gallon.

10.Planting new forests and cutting back on lumber industry deforestation. Revelation that most of the Southern forests are in private hands suggests the need for some negotiation for protecting these forests.

11.Aid to foreign nations in need to achieve the above goals.

Cap and trade has done nothing to reduce greenhouse gases, and is merely an easy way out for the coal and fossil fuel industries.

We need action now! Global warming is here and now! The threat of inadequate water supplies is here and now!
Do not let as much as a single attempt at drilling to take place. The Republicans know how to obstruct and block. It is time for Democrats to take up the cudgel, and accuse, accuse, accuse!.

Big Oil is holding us back and dragging us down! We have lost our power of innovation!

Can we do this? Yes we can! Si se puede!

All of the above will provide abundant employment and will
be more than adequate to jumpstart the economy.
For 8 years we have been running an upside down economy which has built up a horrendous national and international debt.
Recent attempts to restart the economy by uncontrolled bail outs have resulted in inevitable failure and highly predictable consequences: The hoarding of donations of taxpayers' money. This has been a back to front effort.

To restore the economy, the FIRST OBJECTIVE MUST BE THE CREATION OF JOBS: Jobs produce products and earn money. To produce products, materials must be bought and transported, thus creating more jobs. Transportation requires fuelling, oiling, maintenance and repairs of trucks, wagons, trains, rails and roads. Wages from all of these workers pays for food from stores and farmers - more workers and more wages to spend on rentals and ultra low interest mortgages on properties with depleted prices. Purchase of properties requires agents and attorneys. Thus the cycle is restarted. An initial impetus stimulus may be needed to start the creation of these jobs and may require an initial addition to the national debt.

The massive blunder of allowing the Bush Administration to have total and secret control of the bank bail out, which should have been under the absolute control of a Board appointed by, and supervised by Congress, resulted in the money being dropped into a black hole.

By contrast, using a bail out or loan to create jobs would produce cash flow. Once the cash flow is started it accelerates and hoarded assets become released to pay for employees, and products. The release of hoarded assets stimulates investment and increases in the value of shares in the stock market.
New businesses are opened. Electric cars are made and sold.

Once the economy is restored, the debt can be gradually paid off.

The predicted hoarding by banks, predictably continues, while Congress sits lamely by as if there were nothing that it could do!!!
All that is needed is a little spine! Provide bail outs in monthly sums. Before the next month's payment require a certificate that the previous month's payment has been given to X for Y:
Where X equals a list of home mortgages at their reduced prices, and at a reduced interest rate of 1.9% to 2.9%. The home owner then refunds the Bail out account.
Y equals the Home owners and their addresses.
The mortgage is gradually paid off in small sums over a lengthy period.

Some properties can be rented out at extremely low rentals, with the option to buy, giving preference to the former owners. This is far better for all concerned than allowing foreclosed properties to remain empty and deteriorate or be vandalized.

WHY IN THE WORLD IS THIS NOT BEING DONE?????

The same measures can be applied to restoring corporate businesses such as the auto industry. It is simply a method of forcing the banks to open their vaults and put useless money into circulation.
Banks must be forced to release their stored assets by any number of ways, such as placing a ceiling on hoarded assets. (Operation "Tight Fist")
Banks which do not respect workers' rights or try to obstruct unions would not be given bail outs.

How think you?

My studies show me that there is only one workable, affordable solution to climate change and a clean environment, that is ready now. That is a new technology at GE called the S-PRISM reactor that turns our dirty spent nuclear fuel into power. It is clean, can't melt down, can't be made into weapons and can also be used to desalinate water and make viable several new forms of clean technology to run cars. There is enough spent fuel on earth to last many centuries. Other countries are doing it. It's the future. For more see www.prescriptionfortheplanet.com

Is Sarah Palin running Nevada now?

Killing the Lions to Save the Deer--To Kill the Deer
by Stephanie Ernst

Published February 16, 2009 @ 07:56AM PST

Yes, we again enter the bizarre land of hunting and "wildlife management" logic, otherwise known as WTF? 101. Some of you may recall that I posted on the "management" of deer in late November, featuring excerpts from and linking to some excellent commentary and evidence supplied by Doris Lin of About.com. Here's the introduction from that post: "Think that hunting is all about reducing deer populations? What if you learned that state wildlife agencies actually work to keep deer populations high--for the benefit of hunters who want to kill the deer and for the financial incentives involved for the state?"

And from one side of the country to the other these days, the so-called management of deer and other animal populations is a hot topic.

But Nevada--oh, Nevada takes the cake, at least for the moment. I learned via AP and the San Jose Mercury News this morning that "state wildlife officials have announced a plan to kill more mountain lions to help increase the deer population." And when asked to defend this decision, whom did Nevada's director of its Department of Wildlife cite as his expert advisers recommending this action? Hunters. Shocking. "Some hunters think the solution to the deer problem is to kill a lot of lions and the deer will come back." The hunters--that's what this is all about. This isn't about "saving" any deer; it's about preserving the chance to kill them for a species that doesn't need to kill them by killing off another species that does need to hunt them for survival.

It's about humans needlessly killing one set of animals so that humans can have the perverse pleasure of needlessly killing another set of animals.

From the Mercury News:

Nevada's deer population fell from 240,000 in 1988 to 108,000 in 2008, while its current lion population ranges from 1,500 to 2,400, according to the wildlife department.

"Basically, what they're doing is applying the Sarah Palin method of wildlife management, which is to remove animals with big teeth in order to promote the animals hunters like to shoot,"

said D.J. Schubert, a wildlife biologist with the Animal Welfare Institute based in Washington D.C.

"It's an archaic form of wildlife management. Unfortunately, they're making the mountain lion a scapegoat, despite the importance of the mountain lion as a top-line predator in any ecosystem," he said.

And of course, who gets to kill all these mountain lions? Sport hunters! "The state Board of Wildlife Commissioners, meeting in Reno last week, directed agency staff to pursue the policy with the help of sport hunters and contract employees from the U.S. Agriculture Department's Wildlife Services." It's a win-win for the hunters. They want to keep killing deer, and now the state government is telling them that they can kill bunches of mountain lions too, to make their deer hunting even easier.

Tell you what, Nevada. You implement a program to thin the herd of human hunters who are out there killing Nevada's deer every year, and maybe I'll take your concern for deer populations seriously. Until then, I'm reminded of the following pre-election Friends of Animals ad, which I shared with you in early October. Unfortunately, it's not true that you must be in Alaska. It happens all over.

If you shoot wolves to save moose, and then you shoot the moose; you're either out of your mind, or in Alaska!

(And omnivores who may be tempted to join the bashing of Nevada's plan, please keep in mind that this is just another version of the "Kill the coyotes-or-other-natural-predators to save the cows--to kill the cows" practice that goes along with ranching and, yes, "free-range" farming.)

You can help us rescue even more animal survivors

Amidst the devastation, IFAW provides hope and relief

View slideshow of IFAW's bushfire emergency rescue.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=doJIIRNwFcJMJ6K&s=evLUJaMPIhLWIcNVIrF&m=lgLVJYODKmK0F

The devastation in the fire zone is hard to imagine: 200 people have perished, more than 1,800 homes have been destroyed, and at least 7,000 people are now without homes.

Many animals have suffered as well - hundreds of thousands may have already died. And without our help many more face death from terrible burns, starvation, dehydration, or wounds suffered when fleeing the fires.

The number of animals being brought to IFAW's rescue center is increasing dramatically day by day as survivors are rescued or emerge from the fire zone to search for food and water.

We need your help today to save and care for these injured animals.

Please give as generously as you can!

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=fgLMIXNELfIKK5J&s=evLUJaMPIhLWIcNVIrF&m=lgLVJYODKmK0F

IFAW has been able to bring aid to so many already - like the rescued joey found hiding in the scorched pouch of his dead mother - he's now safe and being hand-fed by IFAW volunteers...or the mother and baby koala suffering from burns, dehydration, and smoke inhalation - they were brought into an IFAW-funded rescue center and are now starting the long road to recovery alongside 30 other koalas. We're also providing the resources to treat rescued wallabies, wombats, possums, echidnas, and even a rare greater glider.

So many animals have been helped, yet so many more remain waiting to be saved. Your donation will help us to find, rescue and care for the burnt and injured wildlife victims.

You can help us rescue even more animal survivors.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=itISI6PQJiKRIfI&s=evLUJaMPIhLWIcNVIrF&m=lgLVJYODKmK0F

Thanks to the generous support from our donors, IFAW's Emergency Relief team continues to work around the clock in the fire zone:

***Searching for animals burnt or abandoned, and bringing them to safety.
***Providing food, water, and medical care to the pets and farm animals we come across during search and rescue operations.
***Caring for injured animals in the temporary Intensive Care Unit we've established next to a local football field.
***Funding and advising local groups that are also rescuing and caring for animals.

We're doing what we can, but we can't do it alone.

We need your help - not only to save these animals, but to give the people in the fire-ravaged areas a sense of hope. Many local residents are bringing their pets and wild animals to us for treatment - desperate to see these innocent creatures survive.

Seeing animals being helped gives a sense of hope and purpose to people who have lost so much in the fires. Our work is important to both the animals and those who care so much about them... together we want to save and care for as many as we can.

So please help us do more to bring hope to animals and people in this devastated area.

Please give whatever you can spare today.

Arrest warrant for Bush and Cheney

2009-02-17T15:36:00.000-08:00

READ FULL TEXT OF WARRANT HERE...

On June 16th during operation "Shock and Awe on the Oregon Coast",, members of SQUADRON13-DEPLOYED recorded this arrest warrant for Bush and Cheney at City Hall in Newport Oregon.

[Text of arrest warrant]

As former members of the armed services of the United States of America, we swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Upon discharge from service we did not renounce that oath, which remains our sacred duty.

It has long been apparent to us that our Constitution is under attack and has been deliberately and relentlessly undermined by domestic enemies -- indeed, by our highest government officials who took and have violated that same oath.

Many Constitutional crimes have been committed by the Bush administration, including warrantless electronic surveillance of American citizens in violation of the 4th Amendment, failure to provide due process rights in violation of the 5th and 6th Amendments, infliction of cruel and unusual punishments in violation of the 8th Amendment, usurpation of powers granted exclusively to Congress in violation of Article I, Section 1, and violation of Article VI, Paragraph 2, which states that all international treaties to which the United States is a signatory are "the Supreme law of the Land."

The wars prosecuted by the Bush administration in our name with our national resources are violations of all treaties defining the international laws of war since 1928, including the United Nations and Nuremberg charters, which uniformly prohibit wars of aggression. As violations of these international covenants and pledges, they also constitute high crimes against the United States Constitution.
Furthermore, the illegal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and other war crimes including torture and use of internationally prohibited weapons such as depleted uranium, violate the Geneva Conventions of 1949, thereby further violating the Supreme Law of our Land.

Our oath therefore compels us to issue a citizens' warrant for the immediate arrest of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney, President and Vice-President of the United States.

We call upon President Bush and Vice-President Cheney to surrender themselves to federal law enforcement authorities or to any private group of Americans that is prepared to make these citizens arrests.

The right of citizens arrest is deeply grounded in English common law and is constitutionally protected under the 9th Amendment, derived from the natural right of self-defense and defense of others. A citizens arrest is valid when arresting citizens have a reasonable belief that the suspect has committed a felony.

We believe that felonies of great magnitude have been committed, and the evidentiary bases of these are conclusively established in the public record.

We charge these officials with conspiracy to commit genocide against the citizens of another sovereign state, with conspiracy to commit mass murder of American citizens by waging a fraudulently justified war, and other high crimes described on our website, www.VeteransAgainstTorture.com.

Our charges include war crimes and crimes against humanity for which we will seek extradition for trial in the international criminal court at the Hague, Netherlands, following trial in the United States for treason and other high crimes against our constitutional government.

AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY APPEAL

2009-02-13T10:57:00.000-08:00

International Fund for Animal Welfare

A Better World for Animals and People

********AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY APPEAL********

We're in a race against time to help the animal victims of Australia's devastating bushfires.

Hundreds of people and countless animals have already perished in the worst bushfire disaster Australia has ever faced.

Kangaroos have been found dead on the roads...cows burned where they lay...one turtle's shell melted and fused to its body...a baby wallaby's ears and nose were burned to a crisp when he stuck his head outside his mother's pouch.

Please help the animal victims of the Australian wildfires.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=deLHLLNtHdLDJYJ&s=fmIWJdNTIiKYIfMZIsE&m=qvI2LgN3ItLcE

IFAW's Emergency Relief Team is already on the ground helping local wildlife caretakers with search and rescue operations, providing medical treatment to burned and abandoned animals that are emerging from the fire zone - koalas, possums, kangaroos, dogs, even horses and birds - as well as food and vet supplies.

But recovery for many animals will be a long process, and we desperately need to raise funds to help over the long term with medical supplies, animal cages, blankets and towels.

Please give what you can to help us rescue and care for the animal survivors.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=grJNLUOFJgKKL8I&s=fmIWJdNTIiKYIfMZIsE&m=qvI2LgN3ItLcE

Your donation will do so much to help IFAW continue its crucial Emergency Relief operation to care for these helpless creatures:

***Continuing vital search and rescue operations for wild animals and lost or abandoned pets.
***Providing lifesaving treatment and critical vet supplies to animals saved and brought to local care centers.
***Providing essential food and water - the scorched landscape has left very little natural food for animals.
***Providing emergency funding to local groups that are also rescuing and caring for animals.

Relief workers cannot do it all - they must help stricken and injured people. It's up to us to help the animals.

Any amount you can spare will help the victims of Australia's fires and victims of other natural disasters and incidents of cruelty and suffering around the world.

The victims of Australia's fires simply can't wait. Please make a donation right now.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=juLTI3PRIjJRJiL&s=fmIWJdNTIiKYIfMZIsE&m=qvI2LgN3ItLcE

Thank you, from the burned animals who need you in this tragic time,

Fred O'Regan
IFAW President

p.s. You may be asking yourself: Is there anything one person can do in the face of such an overwhelming tragedy? The answer is a resounding YES, but there's no time to lose. Please donate now to help Australia's bushfire animal victims.

Stop Sarah Palin’s cruel aerial wolf-killing program

2009-02-09T12:22:00.000-08:00

Since we launched our Eye on Palin campaign last week, millions have already seen our powerful video featuring actress and activist Ashley Judd. To learn more about this important campaign and what you can do to help, please take a few moments to read the message below from Ms. Judd.

We can’t stop now. Please consider making a donation today to help us air the Palin video on TV during Governor Palin’s next visit to Washington, DC and fight to save the lives of wolves, polar bears and other animals threatened by the extreme anti-wildlife policies of Sarah Palin.

-- Rodger Schlickeisen, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

www.eyeonpalin.org

Dear Friend,

Those who know me know that I think it is very important to stand up for the things I believe in. Because I strongly believe in stopping the aerial wolf slaughter in Alaska, I’m honored to be working with you as part of the Eye on Palin campaign.

We’ve already reached millions with the gruesome news of Governor Sarah Palin’s cruel aerial wolf-killing program. But now I need your help to turn up the heat and run Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund’s video on TV as Governor Palin continues her attempts to grab the national spotlight.

Please donate today to help air our video on CNN in Washington, DC during Governor Palin’s next visit to the nation’s capital, and to support Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund’s fight to end aerial wolf-killing in Alaska once and for all -- and also stop Palin’s other wildlife atrocities.

Palin is scheduled to give a major speech in Washington, DC on February 26th. And we want to put the national spotlight on her support for aerial killing of wolves and the execution of helpless wolf pups, her equally outrageous slaughter of female brown and black bears and their cubs, her lawsuit to eliminate federal protections for imperiled polar bears, and her opposition to protecting imperiled beluga whales.

Palin’s clearly worried about our national public education campaign: She’s tried to tar the Eye on Palin campaign as the efforts of an “extreme fringe group.” But

Palin’s aerial wolf-killing program has been repeatedly condemned by scientists, Alaskans and ethical hunters alike.

We’re not about to back down from her and I’m sure you aren’t either. We know that the more Americans hear about her heartless animal-killing programs,

the more the public recognizes that Palin is the extremist -- and her public support plummets.

We’ve already gained the support of some 120 members of Congress to pass federal legislation to end her barbaric killing. And we will stop her.

Please donate today to help Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund air this video on television in Washington, DC during Palin’s visit to the nation’s capital, and to help us take other actions to advance our great cause.

We don’t have much time to seize this opportunity. Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund needs to buy the time this week to put our powerful ad on television in Washington during Palin’s DC appearance at the end of the month.

Because of caring people like you, more Americans are talking about Governor Palin’s awful wolf-killing programs. Our video has been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube and been featured on MSNBC, CNN, The Today Show and in hundreds of news articles across the country. And last Friday, Rodger Schlickeisen and I appeared last Friday on Larry King Live to answer Governor Palin’s statement and set the record straight about her wolf-killing program.

With your support

we can reach millions more Americans and make sure they know the truth about Sarah Palin and her anti-wildlife programs.

Thank you for doing what you can to help.

Ashley Judd

P.S. Thank you so much for the incredible support that people like you have shown for the Eye on Palin campaign. Together, we’re making a difference!

Attorney General Eric Holder: Please Appoint a Special Prosecutor

2009-02-04T16:35:00.000-08:00

Attorney General Eric Holder: Please Appoint a Special Prosecutor

President Obama's choice for Attorney General, Eric Holder, was confirmed by the Senate yesterday and sworn in today. In another proud historic first, Mr. Holder will be our first African American Attorney General.

During his confirmation hearings, Mr. Holder declared unequivocally, "Waterboarding is torture." This terrified Republicans because it means Holder must prosecute George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, and other top officials who authorized waterboarding and the rest of the "Bush System of Torture," as Keith Olbermann calls it.

Republicans pressured Mr. Holder to promise not to prosecute the torturers, but Mr. Holder refused. He said, "No one is above the law." That's exactly what President Obama said when ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked him our question on January 11.

Of course Mr. Holder must also end eight years of absolute corruption under John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and Michael Mukasey. He must reverse George Bush's criminal policies on torture, habeas corpus, secret government, and warrantless wiretapping. How can Mr. Holder do it all?

The best solution would be for Mr. Holder to quickly appoint a Special Prosecutor to focus exclusively on Bush's crimes. That would take these crimes off Mr. Holder's desk entirely, and ensure a thorough and nonpartisan investigation.

In December, we launched a petition drive with our friends at Docudharma.com. Over 20,000 activists have already urged Mr. Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor. Please join them:

http://www.democrats.com/special-prosecutor-for-bush-war-crimes

If you already signed, please user our petition form to encourage friends to sign.

You can also call Mr. Holder's office at 202-514-2001 and leave a simple message: "Appoint a Special Prosecutor for George Bush's crimes."

Thanks for all you do!

Hold the Bush Administration Accountable.

2009-01-30T17:34:00.000-08:00

Dear Friend,

The work has begun to help to pass President Obama's progressive agenda. However, our nation still has some unfinished business to attend to. On January 20th, President Barack Obama stood before millions of Americans and swore to uphold the constitution. But the memory remains of a president and vice president whose disregard for our founding principles will be their true historical legacy.

On January 6th, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers introduced House Resolution 104, "to establish a national commission on presidential war powers and civil liberties."

The bill would impanel a Blue Ribbon Commission to investigate potential crimes and Constitutional violations committed by the Bush Administration under the seemingly impenetrable curtain of "unreviewable war powers." The commission would be comprised of non-governmental experts on the relevant subject matter, and it would have the subpoena powers necessary to do their important work.

I just signed a petition asking my member of Congress to sign on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 104 -- I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.

Contact Your State District Attorneys To Prosecute Bush and Cheney

2009-01-26T14:59:00.000-08:00

The Best Way To Light A Fire For Federal Prosecutions of Bush And
Cheney Is To Get Collateral State Actions Going

After weeks and weeks of unbelievable work, we have completed
compiling a database of the current contact information for every
state district attorney, for EVERY county in the country. And we have
put it all together into an easy one click lookup function to help
organize contacting your nearest state prosecutor, to call on THEM to
step up to the plate, to stand up for justice and accountability, by
prosecuting George Bush and Dick Cheney for their crimes.

In particular, renowned former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi has laid
out a compelling case for charging both Bush and Cheney with the
premediated murder of American service men and women, for starting a
war with Iraq on patently false pretenses. By using this new lookup
page you can instantly get the mailing address, phone, fax, and in
many cases also the email of your local prosecutor. This action is SO
critical we have dedicated our entire main site homepage to it.

Local Prosecutor Lookup: http://www.peaceteam.net

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not asking anyone to file a "formal" criminal
complaint yourself. Common sense tells us that a state prosecutor
will only act, in the exercise of their OWN discretion, if they
believe there is a non-frivolous case to bring. But by speaking out,
we can let them know there is community support for them to do so.

There are nearly 3,000 county level state prosecutors in the country.
And these are often VERY politically sensitive elected positions,
where citizen pressure can have huge impact. Indeed, if you look at
current members of Congress, a large number of them started out as
district attorneys. Who among these 3,000 has the courage to take on
the urgency of pressing these historic charges, and perhaps then
replace some of the partially inflated punching bags that many
members of Congress have allowed themselves to become?

To hear the Sunday morning Washington chucklehead pundits talk about
it, whether to prosecute war crimes or not (as if it were optional)
is an inside the beltway political decision. Oh really? Well maybe
our United States of America is a little bit bigger than their little
beltway.

Attorney General Holder is already coming under enormous pressure
from rabidly lawless Republicans, for just simply declaring what any
first year law student would have to say to keep from getting
flunked, that torture is a CRIME. And if Bush and Cheney ordered
torture, as they have recently brazenly admitted on TV, they MUST be
prosecuted. End of story.

But we cannot ONLY rely on getting an honest attorney general who
will do his duty (though we must have that too), nor can we rely much
on the mostly whiny weenies in Congress to finally put together an
investigation with teeth. NO!! The critical move NOW is to drum up
collateral actions at the state level, as counselled by Bugliosi, and
that will help force the hands of everyone else.

Imagine what it would be like if we found just ONE crusading state
prosecutor to respond to the call of destiny. Imagine what it would
be like if a DOZEN or more suddenly sprang into action, because of
our many letters, and phone calls, and faxes and emails. We can open
up an whole new third front, and keep it open.

We were still packing up more "Convict Dick & W" caps as we were
listening to the presidential inauguration last Tuesday. Then we got
out the first large shipment last Wednesday. And with that we
officially inaugurate the Bush and Cheney conviction movement.

Thank you for your patience. Researching thousands and thousands of
websites (where many counties have none at all), cross-checking the
best available lists, many incomplete and out of date, against hard
to find local election results, took a massive amount of energy to
create the new local prosecutor lookup function. But we had to make
it the number one priority, and now it's done, and it works like a
dream.

Local Prosecutor Lookup: http://www.peaceteam.net

So after you use the local prosecutor lookup at the page below, you
can also request one of the new "Convict Dick & W" caps from the same
page, complete with a little embroidered cowboy hat on the "W". Yes,
a tiny cowboy hat for a very small man, the Cowboy from Connecticut,
our first presidential felon to be, George Bush. It's perfect.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

If you have a blog, copy and paste this and publish it in your blog, help us get the word far and wide. We can't let these criminals escape justice!

HOW TARP REALLY WORKS ....

2009-01-26T14:42:00.000-08:00

This is the way that "we the people" see it working.

HOW IT ALL WORKS ....

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started to catch them.

The man bought thousands at $10 each, but as the supply began to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts.

He next announced that he would buy monkeys at $20 each.

The villagers renewed their efforts and started to catch monkeys again.

But as the supply diminished even further, people soon lost interest again.

When the man increased his offer to $25 each, monkeys became so scarce it was an effort just to find one, let alone catch it!

The man then announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!

But since he had to go to meeting in the city, he said his assistant would buy the monkeys on his behalf.

After the man left, his assistant told the villagers,

"Look at all the monkeys my boss has already bought. I'll sell them to you for $35 each, and when he returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50."

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the man's monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again - only lots and lots of monkeys!

Now you have a better understanding of how the Wall Street bailout plan will work.

It doesn't get much more clear than this.

Congress gives the bankers money to bail them out of their financial woes, they pocket the money, and the economy is no better off than before.

Congress offers no oversight, or rules for the use of the money, and big banks buy smaller banks and become bigger.

And once again, "we the people take it in the shorts."

Alaska's bloody bitch is at it again, stop her where she stands!

2009-01-26T10:12:00.000-08:00

How Far Will Sarah Palin Go?

Under Governor Sarah Palin’s out-of-control wolf-killing program, mothers and newborn pups can be savagely killed in their dens.

Please donate now to help us stop Sarah Palin’s senseless wolf slaughter on the ground in Alaska and in Congress.

As America looks toward a new era of hope and change, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and special interests are working feverishly to expand her out-of-control wolf killing frenzy.

With your compassionate support, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund can fight Palin’s wolf-killing program and expose her determined efforts that will harm wolves, polar bears, belugas and other imperiled species.

Governor Sarah Palin’s aerial wolf-killing program is on a record deadly pace. Airborne sharpshooters have already gunned down 50 wolves this season.

How far will Sarah Palin go to slaughter wolves?

After state officials ruthlessly killed 14 orphaned wolf pups last year -- each with a bullet to the head -- Palin’s Department of Fish & Game approved an aggressive policy allowing for the killing of wolf mothers and the savage shooting of newborn pups in their dens.

Now Sarah Palin is joining forces with the Alaska Outdoor Council (AOC) and other wealthy hunting lobby groups as they plan their push for legislation to expand the bloody wolf slaughter.

They’ve already committed hundreds of thousands of dollars to expand the state-sponsored aerial wolf slaughter -- even into Alaska’s pristine federal wildlife refuges.

With your generous support, we can save the lives of Alaska’s wolves. Please donate now to support our campaign to end Palin’s senseless slaughter of wolves in Alaska.

With the incredible contributions from caring people like you, we were able to expose Palin’s terrible record on wolves as she took to the national stage in last year’s election -- helping to prevent Sarah Palin from becoming Vice President of the United States.

Now we need your support to end Sarah Palin’s ghastly aerial wolf-killing program.

Defenders Action Fund will forcefully oppose Governor Palin and her Board of Game’s plans to kill wolves to artificially boost game populations for out-of-state trophy hunters and fight the Palin/AOC-supported legislation to gun down even more wolves. We stopped her last year, and with your help, we can defeat her again.

But we’re not stopping there. With a new leadership in Washington, DC comes real hope for wolves. In Congress, we can pass the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act to end Governor Palin’s aerial wolf slaughter -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region. We’ll work with the Obama Administration to close the deadly loophole that Palin exploits to kill more wolves.

And we’ll continue to bring the fight nationwide by keeping Palin’s wolf-slaughter program in the national spotlight.

This year, Governor Sarah Palin is aiming to slaughter more than 600 wolves in what could be the bloodiest aerial wolf-killing season ever -- now, with the help of wealthy special interests, she wants to expand the brutal program even more.

We can’t let that happen.

Please donate now to end Sarah Palin’s wolf slaughter. We can only save these wolves with your generous support.

Sincerely,

Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

P.S. As she prepares for a rumored run for the U.S. Senate -- and possibly for president in 2012 -- Sarah Palin will undoubtedly try to stay on the national stage. With your help, we’ll soon launch a new website to spotlight Palin’s brutal wolf-killing record and other anti-wildlife policies. Please support our efforts with a secure online donation or call (800) 425-4632 to donate by phone

We've got to stop this bloody bitch once and for all. She's every bit as bad for the environment as bush was, and he was a total failure as a wildlife administrator. She needs to be sent into obscurity; never to be heard from again!

Has anyone taken an inventory of the White House Treasures?

2009-01-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

It's finally arrived; the day we never thought would ever get here.

G W is out of office.

He's moving out of the White House, has anyone done an inventory of the White House treasures and the silver?

Perhaps someone better do a quick check to see that he's not taking something else that belongs to the Nation.

He tried his best to steal Democracy and Freedom from the American People, maybe he's stealing the silverware too; I wouldn't put it past him...

Good riddance you crumb it could have happened 8 years ago; or you could have never once sneered on my television screen and I would have been happy.

It will be decades before the USA & the World is able to overcome all the damage you've done. Many species of animals, fowl, and plants have not survived your criminal behaviour to our planets ecosystem. As a protector of the environment, you've been a complete failure!

Good bye, good riddance. I hope your night dreams are haunted by all the destrucion you have caused in our world: That you have a constant parade of service men, women, and children your actions have killed; and that you never have a peaceful nights sleep for the rest of your miserable life.

I will continue to fight for your impeachment untill I no longer walk this earth. You deserve no financial support from the citizens of the USA, and impeaching you will remove that support.

There is no statute of limitation on impeachment!

I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.

I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I set the all-time record for the number of administration appointees who violated US law by not selling their huge investments in corporations bidding for gov't contracts.

I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history.

I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES: I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available). I was arrested for possession of marijuana during my dads Presidency charges went away; imagine that.

I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during time of war.

I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use. (wink,wink)

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my fathers library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served on the board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

With Love,

GEORGE W. BUSH

Only an Idiot like bush believes there is 'Clean Coal'

2008-12-30T12:36:00.000-08:00

Just before Christmas, the true cost and danger of coal became apparent in the town of Harriman, Tennessee.

On the morning of December 22, the earthen dam at the Kingston Power Plant containing coal fly ash failed catastrophically, unleashing a six-foot wall of toxic water and mud.

By the time the flood subsided, more than a billion gallons of coal sludge had damaged 15 homes -- three beyond repair -- before pouring into the nearby Emory and Clinch rivers.

In comparison, the Exxon Valdez spilled a "mere" 11 million gallons of crude oil. And the coal fly ash spill in Harriman is three times larger than the October, 2000 coal sludge spill in Martin County, Kentucky, which the EPA called "the largest environmental disaster east of the Mississippi."

Miraculously, there were no human injuries in last week's spill. Yet the Emory and Clinch rivers flow into the Tennessee River -- the primary water source for many Tennessee towns and cities, including Chattanooga. Coal fly ash contains heavy metals including lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, and selenium. And though it will take years for the full affect of this environmental disaster to be known, iLoveMountains.org has teamed with the Upper Watauga Riverkeeper and the Waterkeeper Alliance to test the waters's of the Clinch and Emory Rivers for contaminants. To learn more about these discoveries and find links to news, blog posts, photos, and videos of the event, visit:

http://www.ilovemountains.org/tva-spill/

In short, the toxic coal ash spill at Harriman reveals what we've known all along -- there is no such thing as clean coal.

As Grist magazine points out, "there is no "clean coal" that doesn't produce millions of tons of toxic sludge, just as there is not yet any form of coal that doesn't send millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere."

Despite the spill at Harriman, TN, Big Coal and their lobbyists will be doing all they can in the coming year to convince decision makers in Washington that "clean coal" is the solution to America's foreign energy dependence. They'll do everything in their power to obfuscate the true cost of coal --

more than 470 mountains destroyed to date, thousands of miles of stream destroyed, and millions of pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment and our nation's waters.

And let's not forget all the thousands of coal miners suffering from 'Black Lung';"Clean Coal"? (my aunt harriet's hat!)

But we can beat these industry lobbyists -- and put an end to mountaintop removal coal mining in America -- if we keep up the pressure in the new year.

That's why I am turning to you today to ask for your generous support. As 2008 comes to an end, can you make a contribution of $50, $100 -- or the most generous amount you can afford -- to help iLoveMountains.org as we prepare for the big challenges and opportunities coming our way in 2009?

Click here or visit http://ilovemountains.org/donate to make a special year-end gift to the mountains we love.

Your contributions to iLoveMountains.org supports the efforts of groups working to end mountaintop removal coal mining and to create a more sustainable and prosperous future for Appalachia -- and all of America.

I hope that you will consider iLoveMountain.org's leadership in the fight to end mountaintop removal coal mining worthy of your generous year-end support.

From all of us at iLoveMountains.org -- have a safe and Happy New Year.

Matt Wasson
iLoveMountains.org

P.S. With the holidays in full swing, many people have not heard about the environmental disaster in Harriman, TN. Visit http://www.ilovemountains.org/tva-spill/ to learn more about the coal fly ash spill and to help spread the word.

PPS. And of course, the idiot that is being evicted from the white house in just over a week gives his whole hearted endorsment to mountain top removal and dumping the debris into nearby streams, lakes, and rivers. We can't be rid of him too soon. Impeachment has no statute of limitations!

Speak Out Against The Planned Bush Blanket Pardons BEFORE They happen

2008-12-26T11:05:00.000-08:00

Pay no attention to the handful of Christmas pardons granted by Bush.
This is mere political window dressing to distract from the bumper
crop of blanket absolutions, including one for himself, scheduled to
be released just before midnight on Jan 19th. Cheney would not so
arrogantly be bragging on TV about how he authorized torture if it
were not so.

But there is a resolution in Congress, H.Res. 1531, preemptively
condemning any such move if we can just get enough members of
Congress to sponsor it (already 10 so far). Many of you have
submitted a action page on this already. Please do it again,
especially if your representative did not hear you the first time.

Action Page To Stop The Bush Pardons:
http://www.usalone.com/hres1531.php

Each action page you submit is another lump of coal in Cheney's
stocking. Some have speculated on the possibility of post
inauguration impeachment, especially considering the fact that many
insiders are waiting until then to spill the beans.

Maybe they don't want to get bumped off in asuspicious plane crash like Mike Connell.

But a self pardon at the very last minute would certainly be grounds
for some kind of action, perhaps even impeachment, if and only if
Congress would react and take action immediately.

So we will still continue to distribute the impeachment message items
until the very last minute as well. If you did not get one of the
original navy blue "IMPEACH CHENEY?" caps, which was the original
"question" hat, we still have some of those which you can get from
the return page of the action page above. And of course we have the
orange "IMPEACH BOTH!!!" caps (the "answer" hat). If you wear one and
a friend wears the other that is especially effective. Or you can
request a copy of the Impeachment Play DVD, either from that same
return page, or here is the link directly for all three.

Impeachment Caps and DVDs:
http://www.usalone.com/impeach_caps_dvds.php

In any case we need to get ready to raise a renewed hue and cry when
the expected happens on January 19th. How hard could it be to get
members of Congress to simply raise their hand and declare that a
presidential self pardon, let alone pardon of his criminal
co-conspirators, is maybe not such a good idea? If we are to draw the
line anywhere, this is where is must be drawn.

And let us look forward to the day when we will have real
representatives in Washington, for a change, because we never stopped speaking out.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Special Prosecutor for Bush War Crimes

2008-12-22T16:51:00.000-08:00

Dear Attorney General-Designate Eric Holder,

We the undersigned citizens of the United States hereby formally petition you to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute any and all government officials who have participated in War Crimes.

These crimes are being euphemistically referred to as "abusive interrogation techniques" by such respected figures as Senator John McCain. These are euphemisms for torture.

Torture is a War Crime. Waterboarding is a War Crime. The CIA has admitted waterboarding detainees. Recently, Vice President Cheney has brazenly admitted authorizing the program that led to waterboarding, other forms of torture too numerous to list, and ultimately, the deaths by homicide of detainees.

As Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison has stated:

"After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts and reports from human rights organizations,

there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account."

The Washington Post recently summarized the Senate Armed Services Committee Report on detainee treatment thusly:

A bipartisan panel of senators has concluded that former defense secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and other top Bush administration officials bear direct responsibility for the harsh treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, and that their decisions led to more serious abuses in Iraq and elsewhere.

We the undersigned citizens demand a full and thorough investigation immediately upon your taking office.

This investigation should be pursued no matter where it may lead and no matter what the political implications may be. To this end, we remind you that you work not on behalf of or for the President or the Congress, but for the People of the United States of America and for Justice itself.

The United States is a representative democracy. The actions of our government officials are done in the name of its citizens. War Crimes have been committed in our name. Torture has been done in our name. The only way to clear our name of War Crimes is to repudiate them through the aggressive prosecution of each and every person involved to the full extent of the law through the appointment of a Special Prosecutor.

Go here to sign the petition.

Tell all your friends and associates to sign too. We can't let them get away with making us co-conspiritors in their crimes.

NATIONAL SECURITY

America's Torture Disgrace
In a recent interview with ABC News, Vice President Dick Cheney confirmed that, in the period after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration embraced a policy of torturing suspected al Qaeda detainees. Cheney did not refer to the Bush administration's practices as "torture." In fact, he insisted that "we don't do torture. We never have." He did admit, however, that he had supported the waterboarding of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. Waterboarding -- a technique in which water is poured over a prisoner's face to simulate drowning -- is considered torture under international law and has been prosecuted as a war crime by the United States. According to Malcolm Nance, a counterterrorism expert and former instructor and chief of training at the U.S. Navy's Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school, waterboarding "is torture, without doubt."

TORTURE DOESN'T WORK: In a recent story in Vanity Fair, journalist David Rose reports that the conclusion of numerous counterterrorist officials he spoke to is "unanimous: not only have coercive methods failed to generate significant and actionable intelligence, they have also caused the squandering of resources on a massive scale through false leads, chimerical plots, and unnecessary safety alerts." The use of torture has made Americans less safe. Former Air Force interrogator and author of How to Break a Terrorist Matthew Alexander (a pseudonym) recently wrote that "the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked [to Iraq] to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo." Alexander, who used non-violent methods of interrogation to obtain information on the whereabouts of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, argued, "Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda. ... Torture and abuse cost American lives."

TORTURE IS A VIOLATION OF OUR LAWS AND VALUES: Arguments about the practical utility of torture distract from the more important point that torture is a violation of U.S. law, and its use represents a significant abdication of the U.S. commitment to human rights. The U.S. federal anti-torture statute, formally known as Title 18, Part I, Chapter 113C of the U.S. Code, "defines the crime of torture and prescribes harsh punishments for anyone who commits an act of torture outside of the United States." Alexander wrote "there's no doubt in my mind" that the tactics allowed by the Bush administration "are illegal." The U.N. Committee Against Torture has been very clear in demanding that the U.S. "should rescind any interrogation technique...that constitutes torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, in all places of detention under its de facto effective control, in order to comply with its obligations" under the U.N. Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

HOLDING PERPETRATORS ACCOUNTABLE: The Bush administration's embrace of torture marks a significant reversal of decades of U.S. policy. Back in 2006, then-senator Barack Obama said that torture "is not how a serious Administration would approach the problem of terrorism," and declared the use of torture to be "a betrayal of American values." While Vice President-elect Biden didn't rule out future prosecution of Bush administration officials involved in torture, he made clear yesterday that "President-elect Obama and I are not sitting thinking about the past. We're focusing on the future." Whatever legal course is chosen by the new administration to deal with recent abuses, the damage done to America's reputation by the use of torture -- making a mockery of U.S. claims to uphold human rights -- has been incalculable.

Happy Birthday to the Libertarian Party!

2008-12-12T14:21:00.000-08:00

Dec. 11, 2008

Happy Birthday to the Libertarian Party!

Dear Loyal Supporter,

Even after 37 years, the Libertarian Party is still America's most viable alternative to Republicans and Democrats, and in times like these, our presence in American politics has never been more important.

If they haven't already, millions of Americans are losing faith in their elected officials. They're lost, and looking for the answers they now can't find in their old political parties. Republicans are supporting nationalization, and Democrats are supporting corporate welfare.

Yet, while members of the GOP and the Democratic Party wonder where their parties went, I want to renew our promises to you, which haven't changed in the 37 years that we've been around:

The Libertarian Party will never use your money to bailout private corporations

The Libertarian Party will always promote free market alternatives to government action in the economy

The Libertarian Party will always fight for less government intervention in the market

The Libertarian Party will never raise your taxes, letting you keep the money that you earn

The Libertarian Party will ensure transparency is included in all government expenditures

The Libertarian Party will drastically cut the size of government, not increase its size with positions like "Car Czar"

The Libertarian Party will protect a free and competitive market, which allocates resources in the most efficient manner—even in times of economic downturn

The Libertarian Party will always oppose all government attempts to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade

The Libertarian Party will work towards the repeal of the income tax, the abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution

The Libertarian Party will fight against government debt, which burdens future generations without their consent

The Libertarian Party will divest government of all functions that can be provided by non-governmental organizations or private individuals

The Libertarian Party will oppose government subsidies to business, labor, or any other special interest

The Libertarian Party will repeal of all laws that impede the ability of any person to find employment

The Libertarian Party will support the right of free persons to associate or not associate in labor unions, and protect the right of an employer to recognize or refuse to recognize a union

The Libertarian Party will oppose government interference in bargaining, such as compulsory arbitration or imposing an obligation to bargain

The Libertarian Party will repeal all governmental impediments to free trade

The Libertarian Party will protect your rights as a taxpayer, businessman or consumer

You will always know where we stand because we always stand for more liberty and less government.

This is our promise to you that we made 37 years ago, when our Party was founded by a group of people who were tired of the two-party system and were ready for a change.

That group has now grown to America's largest third party, and the only political party completely dedicated to maximizing freedom and minimizing government.

This is what we mean when we say we're the party of the taxpayer, the party of the businessman and the party of principle.

To celebrate our birthday, please consider a birthday gift of $37, celebrating our 37years as a political party. Your gift will help mark this special time for us, and will help to further what we do for liberty in the United States. Also, please consider a gift

Please consider donating right now, or simply renewing your membership as we have renewed our promise to you.

Thank you for all that you have done for us in these last 37 years, and we look forward to serving you for at least the next 37 years.

In Liberty,

Bill RedpathNational ChairmanLibertarian National Commitee

Co-Sponsor H.Res. 1531 Against The Bush

2008-12-10T11:10:00.000-08:00

Ask Your House Member To Co-Sponsor H.Res. 1531 Against The Bush
Preemptive Pardons

Another day, another non-denial denial that Bush is planning midnight
preemptive blanket pardons for his entire gang, including himself. In
an article in the New York Times the other day, current attorney
general Mukasey is quoted as asserting it would not be "necessary".
Please take careful note he did not say it wouldn't happen, because
unless we speak out now it WILL.

The best shot we have is H.Res. 1531 which puts the administration on
clear notice that there will be strong push back from Congress if
they attempt such a scurrilous stunt. Please submit this action page
to ask your House member to sign on as a co-sponsor of this measure.

Support H.Res. 1531 Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/hres1531.php

We all know that George Bush as someone without even the guts to face
his own music, he who sent more that four thousand brave Americans to
their senseless graves, for a premeditated and knowing lie in Iraq,
tens of thousands of American crippled and mutilated for life,
trillions looted from our economy, and he doesn't even have the
simple courage to risk the accountability of having to defend his
numberless crimes in a fair trial.

And our spineless 110th Congress hasn't the courage or intestinal fortitude to stand up to him and bring forth hearings for impeachment.

It is now known that Nixon seriously considered pardoning himself,
but even he was not THAT despicable. George Bush most certainly is.
And remember that his administration has been infested with Nixon era
cronies like Cheney and Rumsfeld, so it is no surprise that the
malfeasance of the Nixon era has been magnified in the last eight
years.

Nixon infamously said, "If the president does it that means it is not
illegal", conveniently after his own blanket pardon by the way. That
has been their creed. The entire Bush administration has been one
ongoing criminal enterprise since day one, a wrecking ball to the
Constitution and rule of law, with torture, illegal surveillance,
obstruction and perversion of justice in the firing of U.S.
attorneys, not to mention national level election fraud, the naked
treason of outing Valerie Plame, and on and on.

And the only way we can make sure nothing like this EVER happens
again is to demand full accountability, so that all America truly
understands what a miserable, lying, cowardly creep we were so
foolish as to allow get away with stealing two successive
presidential elections.

Please call on your members of Congress to immediately sign on to
H.Res. 1531, and let's have a real national debate on the coming
greatest outrage of all, before they get away with that too.

Support H.Res. 1531 Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/hres1531.php

And you can also still get an "Impeach Both!!!" cap from the return
page from the action page submission. We're not going to say "while
supplies last", because we'll manufacture as many as you can wear,
right up until the last minute. Another 600 are going out today, for
a total of upwards of 2,000 more in just the last two weeks. So if
you have already requested yours, it is most likely already on the
way.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do so at

Sounds like thieves praising thieves to me…

2008-12-09T13:59:00.000-08:00

Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Dennis Moore
Third District Kansas 1727 Longworth House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20515-1603

Dear Congressman Moore:

I received your form letter written November 26, 2008 concerning my views about impeaching GW Bush from the office of President of the United States.

Again you state to me that congress has expressed no interest in resolving to impeach him.

Since you hold seats on the Committee on Financial Services, your seat on the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions, and your seat on the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations; you have the pulse of what it is going to cost us taxpayers to provide this criminal with his lifetime retirement Pension, his lifetime Medical, and Dental programs, and his lifetime cost for security services for his exalted personage.

Yet you tell me that Congress won’t investigate his criminal offenses, and bring charges of impeachment against him? Even though the crimes are so blatant!

So being a master criminal is okay as long as you hold an office in the US Government, and you deserve your retirement pensions because you held the office?

You further tell me that the “110th Congress the legislative branch of our government, particularly the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has continually exercised its constitutional responsibilities”, HOGWASH!

If there was any oversight, it was in watching the foxes eat the chickens!

I believe Congress has been wearing blinders for the last eight years, and wishes the “People” would just shut their eyes and mouths to the goings on at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as Congress has done.

You allowed impeachment hearings against Bill Clinton because of his Oral Sexcapades, yet you allow bush to lead the country into poverty, war upon illegal war, wire tapping of private US citizens, trashing and treading upon the Bill of Rights, violation of the Geneva Convention, Torture, and you can’t seem to find justification to even investigate him for impeachable offences.

I believe you simply don’t want to open that issue because too many Congressman, and Senators might fall victim to impeachment themselves for their actions whilst in office.

After all, didn’t you applaud an Alaskan Senator that was recently found guilty of 7 crimes, and faces jail; on his last day on the Senate floor? Didn’t some call him an outstanding example of a public servant? Sounds like thieves praising thieves to me…

Besides, since the taxpayers and generations of their issue will be paying through the nose to bail out the bankers that got us into this financial mess anyway because of bush’s deregulation of the banking industry; the few paltry millions we will have to shell out to keep bush in comfort until he drops dead of natural causes shouldn’t be an issue CORRECT?

After all, you didn’t impeach his dad for his part in the Iran Contra Scandal, and that was pretty blatant, and out in the open, and aren’t we still supporting him in the lap of luxury?

Considering the way the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform tends to business, it’s a wonder that China doesn’t own the whole country; or do they, and “We The People” just haven’t been informed of that fact by our illustrious oh so honest Congress?

Sarah Palin plans to issue permits to hunt for big game trophies in Alaskan Zoos

2008-12-05T11:23:00.000-08:00

Sarah Palin is such a great sportsman, not only does she issue bounties on the forelegs of wolves shot from air planes,[TRUTH] but she believes that Alaskans will benefit from revenue earned by issuing permits to hunt for big game trophies in Alaska's public zoos. She says the zoos can be closed to the public for two days a week while hunters harvest their trophies. A portion of the permit fees will pay for replacement species for the next hunt. (Just a spoof, but Well why not, isn't that an obvious next step from aerial hunting for a sportsman of her caliber?)

Watch our award-winning video on aerial wolf killing and urge Governor Sarah Palin to end Alaska’s deadly slaughter from the skies.

Wade Willis, Defenders of Wildlife, (907) 276-9453
Alaska Department of Fish and Game expand predator control methods
Wildlife officials release protocol for the killing of wolf pups in their dens

JUNEAU – Wildlife officials presented a new protocol to the Board of Game today that would allow Alaska Department of Fish and Game staff to kill young wolf pups in or near their dens as part of the state's predator control programs. This practice, known as “denning,” is currently illegal under Alaska state law.

“We are highly disappointed with the department’s decision to allow denning even if it is limited to department staff. The state’s predator control programs are already viewed as scientifically unsound by the many biologists who have closely examined Alaska’s programs. This move will further tarnish the department’s credibility and hinder conservation efforts in the state,” said Wade Willis, Alaska Representative for Defenders of Wildlife.

The new protocol established by the agency is viewed as the department’s response to the massive public outcry sparked this summer when state officials shot three wolf packs from a helicopter in Unit 9D, then landed and shot 14 orphaned pups in the head at their den sites. To date the department has failed to reveal all of the details of the incident, but given the pups’ ages, Defenders believes that the pups were inside or near their dens when they were killed – an action that is illegal even for state officials. According to the new protocol, officials will attempt to place the pups in zoos or other wildlife facilities before destroying them.

The unveiling of the controversial protocol comes as the Board of Game also considers proposals submitted by predator control advocates to allow hunters to practice denning. These proposals were first floated last January and March, but the Board of Game chose to table them until after the public voted on the aerial gunning ballot measure. With the defeat of the ballot measure at the August polls, aerial gunning can still be used to kill wolves – leaving conservationists to wonder why the denning proposals continue to move forward.

The Board will decide on those proposals in the next few days.

“There’s nothing sportsmanlike about cornering and killing newborn pups, cubs and their parents in their dens when they’re most vulnerable. Wildlife managers should not be conducting predator control efforts after April 30, when wolves are raising their young pups. This is one of the main reasons aerial gunning and other methods are not permitted after this time,” Willis said.

Under the terms of H. Res. 1531

2008-12-04T11:06:00.000-08:00

(1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the granting of preemptive pardons by the President to senior officials of his administration for acts they may have taken in the course of their official duties is a dangerous abuse of the pardon power;

(2) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should not grant preemptive pardons to senior officials in his administration for acts they may have taken in the course of their official duties;

(3) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that James Madison was correct in his observation that ‘‘[i]f the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds [to] believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty’’;

(4) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that a special investigative commission, or a Select Committee be tasked with investigating possible illegal activities by senior officials of the administration of President George W. Bush, including, if necessary, any abuse of the President’s pardon power; and

(5) the next Attorney General of the United States appoint an independent counsel to investigate, and, where appropriate, prosecute illegal acts by senior officials of the administration of President George W. Bush.

Under the terms of H. Res. 1531

Under article (3), Whereas on President George H.W. Bush granted a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to Elliott Abrams, Duane R. Clarridge, Alan Fiers, Clair George, Robert C. McFarlane, and Caspar W. Weinberger for all offenses charged, prosecuted, or committed in connection with the Iran-Contra Scandal in which he was alleged to have been involved.

Because of his suspected involvement in the Iran-Contra Scandal, former President George H.W. Bush should be investigated, and charges of impeachment be brought against him. There are no statute of limitations on impeachment.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler Leads Opposition to Bush Pardons

2008-12-01T07:11:00.000-08:00

This is my inclusion on the petition:

Congressman Dennis Moore, Senators Roberts, and Brownback. Since you have not shown enough intestinal fortitude to move for impeachment, perhaps this watered down bill, H.Res. 1531 will get your vote.

Or are you going to stick your head in the ground, and hope this issue will go away, and the question of impeachment or any related thing will not come forward to force you to do the duty you swore an oath to do.

You couldn't find the fortitude to censure, and remove from chairmanship Joe lieberman for his actions during the recent election campaigns. You wouldn't even censure Alaska Senator Stephens when he was found guilty, and convicted of 7 crimes. As a matter of fact you applauded him on his last day in office; SHAME ON YOU! DO YOU THINK YOUR ACTIONS, OR INACTIONS GO UNNOTICED? A record is kept on whether or not you voted on an issue, and how you voted.

I for one am against rewarding criminals with a lifetime pension, security of their persons, and medical and dental benefits when I can't afford those same benefits for my own family.

There is no Statute of Limitations on Impeachment, and criminals no matter how high an office they hold; be they Congressmen, Senators, or those of the highest offices in the land are impeachable if they commit crimes that warrant such action.

You swore to uphold the laws of this Country, and the Constitution of the United States. It's time you honored your oath; or step down and let someone hold your office that WILL HONOR THE OATH of your esteemed office.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler Leads Opposition to Bush Pardons

Congratulations! Just one week ago we asked you to launch a massive movement against pardons by signing a petition to your Representatives. Over 46,000 of you took action and Congress took notice.

On Friday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) introduced H.Res. 1531 urging President Bush not to pardon senior administration officials for crimes the President authorized.

It notes: President George W. Bush may have committed crimes involving the mistreatment of detainees, the extraordinary rendition of individuals to countries known to engage in torture, illegal surveillance of United States citizens, unlawful leaks of classified information, obstruction of justice, political interference with the conduct of the Justice Department, and other illegal acts and that Bush has been urged to grant preemptive pardons to senior administration officials who might face criminal prosecution for actions taken in the course of their official duties

Nadler's resolution urges Congress to investigate those crimes and any pardons relating to them, and urges the Attorney General (current or future) to appoint an Independent Counsel to prosecute those crimes.

These are major steps towards holding George Bush, Dick Cheney, and other senior officials accountable for their crimes and thereby upholding the rule of law, rather than allowing Presidents to become dictators.

Rep. Nadler's leadership is crucial because he chairs the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties and can use his credibility and clout to move the resolution forward either during the lame duck session in December or when the next Congress convenes on January 6.

So our next step is to persuade as many Representatives as possible to co-sponsor H.Res. 1531. Please sign our new petition:
http://www.democrats.com/nadler-pardons?cid=ZGVtczQ2NDU0M2RlbXM=

We also encourage you to call your Representative at 202-224-3121 and speak with the Legislative Assistant who handles Judiciary matters. If your Representative says (s)he will co-sponsor, please let us know by commenting on our resolution "whipping" page:

THANKSGIVING
17 Reasons To Give Thanks

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Progress Report will be off the rest of this week. Your daily report will return Monday, December 1.

This Thanksgiving, progressives have a lot to be thankful for. Here's our list:

We're thankful we'll soon have a president who will hit the ground running instead of a president who is running the country into the ground.

We're thankful that Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are demonstrating every night how strong and intelligent progressive voices can be successful on TV.

We're thankful we live in a center-left America rather than "Hannity's America."

We're thankful John McCain has more time to spend in the houses he owns...even if he can't remember them all.

We're thankful Sarah Palin has more time to watch over Russia and warn us in case Vladimir Putin ever "rears his head."

We're thankful that we're moving closer towards a complete withdrawal from Iraq.

We're thankful for the thousands of protesters who took to the streets across America to push for marriage equality.

We're not thankful for neo-McCarthys, neo-Hoovers, neo-Nazis, and neocons.

We're thankful for Tina Fey.

We're thankful to be liberal hacks.

We're not thankful for hack operatives burrowing into career civil service jobs.

We're more thankful for Vice President Joe Biden and "Morning Joe" than Joe Lieberman and "Joe the Plumber."

We're thankful that our troops will be able to get the education they so richly deserve.

Break the Bail-out

2008-11-18T14:30:00.000-08:00

A left-right coalition is developing in Congress to block further funds for the bailout. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are both calling for no more bailout funds for the Department of the Treasury. Under the bailout law Congress is required to approve the second $350 billion in bailout funds. Thus far, Treasury has spent $290 of the initial $350 billion.

The performance of the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve has been unacceptable and does not inspire confidence. They have hidden key information from the taxpayer and Congress and they have been unsure of what strategy will work to help the economy.

Stopping the bailout of Wall Street gives Congress time to decide whether the money should be sent, and if so, how?

Another alternative has been put forward by Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Robert Byrd (D-WV), an economic stimulus plan that costs about one-third of what is remaining on the initial bailout, $100 billion. It deals with unemployment insurance, disaster relief, infrastructure, aid to states, aid to the auto industry and other parts of the economy.

Below is a letter that we urge you to send to your elected representatives in the U.S. House and Senate. You can send the letter in a few seconds by clicking here.

In addition, please pledge to Break the Bailout by visiting http://www.BreakTheBailout.com -- we need to show Congress that we will hold them accountable. And, forward this email to everyone you know. There is strength in numbers.

Dear (senator/congressman)

I am writing you to urge you to refuse any request for additional funds for the bailout of Wall Street and Big Finance and to make your opposition publicly clear now.

Under the TARP legislation the Congress can stop additional payments to the Treasury for the bailout. The actions by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve indicate that they do not deserve more tax payer dollars.

The Congress was pushed to rush to judgment in a panic created by Secretary Paulsen and Chairman Bernanke. It is now seems that the panic was exaggerated. Indeed, Secretary Paulsen sought immediate authority to buy toxic assets from banks. The implication was that this was going to be to buy bad real estate mortgages.

But, last week, Secretary Paulsen changed course and said that was no longer an effective strategy and decided instead to inject taxpayer cash into the banking system by purchasing equity in companies.

Unfortunately, his purchases did not include the type of representation that a major investor would expect, e.g. a seat on the board, and the return rate was half of what Warren Buffet will be getting for similar purchases.

On top of the confusion by Secretary Paulsen and poor negotiating on behalf of the American taxpayer, the process has lacked transparency. The Department of Treasury actually blacked out key information in the contracts of people and firms they hired to work on the bailout.

Making matters worse, the Federal Reserve has not told the taxpayers what corporations have received $2 trillion in investments nor what security they received for the funds. This lack of transparency demonstrates that these organizations should not be trusted with taxpayer dollars.

Please let it be known that you oppose any further funds for the bailout. Breaking the bailout will provide an opportunity to consider whether money should be spent and if so how do so more effectively.

If members of the House and Senate speak out on this topic a vote may not even be necessary as Secretary Paulsen and President Bush will realize that they should not ask for additional funds.

Make it clear now that elected officials oppose further bailout funds for Wall Street and big finance.

Sincerely,

[Your name]

Please take action today by clicking here. We can stop this bailout and get our economy on track.

And, please pledge to Break the Bailout at www.BreaktheBailout.com. We have a lot of work to do to harness the anger of Americans into an effective force to put in place the economy we want for the 21st Century.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Bloody Bitch is at it again

2008-11-14T07:49:00.000-08:00

This week, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin 'The Great white huntress' Board of Game wants to target more wolf mothers and pups for slaughter.

"She's such an avid sportsman! Shooting defenseless animials from airplanes is her idea of sport hunting."

But with one caring act, you can give a gift that will help stop this horrible killing and support on-the-ground work to save the lives of wolves in Alaska and across America:

Adopt a wolf today from our brand-new Wildlife Adoption Center and help support wolf-saving work in Alaska and Greater Yellowstone.

Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program has already claimed the lives of more than 800wolves --

with another season of slaughter about to begin. In June, Palin's state officials drew widespread condemnation for slaughtering 14 wolf pups --each just weeks old -- with a shot to the head.

Ignoring the public outcry from the killings, members of the state’s Board of Game -- many hand-picked by The "Bloody Bitch" Palin -- have decided to continue the killing of wolf pups and mothers by state officials.

It’s all part of the state’s brutal wolf-killing program, and we need your help this Holiday Season to stop it.

A wolf adoption makes a special holiday gift and will support our efforts to fight this brutal policy -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region and Northern Rockies.

Each tax-deductible wolf adoption from our newly redesigned Wildlife Adoption Center comes with a plush wolf toy, a personalized Certificate of Adoption, a handsome 5” x 7” color wolf photograph and a fact sheet full of fascinating information about wolves.

This winter will be deadly for Alaska’s wolves. But your gift adoption for a loved one -- or yourself -- can make a world of difference for these wolves and other wildlife. Please make a caring wolf adoption today.

For the wild ones,

Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife

P.S. Please make a wolf gift adoption at wildlifeadoption.org or call 1-800-385-9712. For other ways to help support our on-the-ground efforts to save wolves, visit our new Wolf-Saving Gifts and Gifts & Gear shops.

Obama Must Restore the Constitution

2008-11-13T09:04:00.000-08:00

PFAW.ORG

As the Obama administration transitions in, step one must be restoring the Constitution.

Say NO MORE to torture, domestic spying that violates Americans' rights, excessive government secrecy and gross violations of due process and habeas corpus.

President-elect Obama is seeking a wide array of diverse opinions and views in the current transition process. We must take it upon ourselves to make sure our voices are heard and our values are represented in the new administration.

In the last few days, there have been a few reports that the Obama administration may not significantly change Bush administration intelligence policies. I take these reports with a grain of salt and I'm optimistic that President-elect Obama will deliver on his promises to restore the constitutional principles that have been trampled on these last eight years. But I also acknowledge that certain people in the intelligence policy discussions do not have the same commitment to Americans' civil liberties.

We need to speak up!

Sign our petition right now bolstering President-elect Obama's campaign commitments to restore constitutional rights and the rule of law.

President-elect Obama will be presented with many arguments both supporting and opposing Bush administration intelligence policies. We all have a lot at stake in these policy debates, so make sure he and his entire transition team know that these values are not negotiable: NO MORE torture... NO MORE domestic spying that violates Americans' rights... NO MORE excessive government secrecy... NO MORE gross violations of due process and habeas corpus.

As a candidate, Sen. Barack Obama made early commitments to oppose the executive power overreaching that defined the Bush administration. He opposed water boarding and said it was clearly torture. He opposed the Bush administration's illegal spying program. Now, the voices in Obama's transition team that share those positions need our support. It's up to us to make sure that the incoming Obama administration end the policies of the most anti-Constitution presidential administration in American history.

It could be very soon that President-elect Obama starts appointing the lawyers and agency heads who will help shape his intelligence policy, so we have no time to spare. Sign the petition now.

We elected Barack Obama based on an agenda and a promise of change. Restoring the Constitution is arguably the single most important broad change the country so desperately needs. Now let's make sure we are heard in the transition process.

Sign our petition reminding President-elect Obama to keep his promises and RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION!

Then, please help maximize the petition's impact by forwarding it to as many people as you can.

People For the American Way PFAW.ORG

Show the World that bush no longer controls the EPA

2008-11-12T07:44:00.000-08:00

One of the first, defining decisions facing President-elect Obama's Environmental Protection Agency is whether to heed the Supreme Court and regulate global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act.

We have an opportunity right now to shape that decision.

Send an email to the EPA today supporting strong action under existing law to protect human health by reducing global warming pollution.

More Background

EDF is pushing hard for comprehensive climate legislation as an essential step in slowing, stopping and reversing the catastrophic threats of run-away global warming.

Crafted properly, such legislation would cap and reduce America's global warming emissions and create economic incentives to spur green energy innovation that would grow the economy and create jobs.

Passing global warming legislation is critical, but there's another way to get action:

The EPA can use the tools it already has under the Clean Air Act to start reducing global warming pollution right now.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that carbon dioxide is a "pollutant" under the Clean Air Act. Way back in April 2007, the Court told the EPA to get to work on regulating carbon dioxide.

But under pressure from the White House, the EPA has taken a go-slow approach.

After months of foot-dragging, the EPA is now asking for public comments. That's where you come in.

Send an email today: Urge the EPA to use existing law to reduce America's global warming pollution.

The public comment deadline is November 28, 2008, so please act now.

Opponents of global warming action are flooding the EPA with comments opposing action. We can't let them get the upper hand.

The EPA needs to hear from you that it should take strong action under existing law to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Send an email today to make sure the EPA hears from us.

Thanks for support and activism. It makes a huge difference.

Sincerely,
Environmental Defense Fund Action Network

Impeach Bush Before He Pardons Himself

2008-11-10T14:24:00.000-08:00

According to Seymour Hersh there is a conga line of insiders waiting
until January 20th to spill the beans on the gross criminality of the
Bush/Cheney administration. Waiting . . . because if they did it now
the two of them would be tarred and feathered on the way out the
door.

But we the people do not have to wait. We can and must demand the
immediate impeachment of both Bush and Cheney for what is already
known. At the very least the defiance of congressional subpoenas at
the behest of the White House is an open and shut case for
accountability now.

Impeach Now Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_now.php

Because as his final constitutional insult, his final spit in the
face to the American people and all rule of law, it is transparently
obvious that Bush is planning the most wholesale and wrongful pardon
of the worst political criminals in American history, his whole
criminal gang, INCLUDING himself.

And don't think that is not their precise plan. Please, what power
has Bush NOT abused? What heinous, self-serving, shameless and
dishonest act has he ever shied away from, when he was torturing and
eavesdropping and lying us into wars of corporate aggression. Does
anyone doubt that is what he is planning on doing?

And when you submit this action page, you will have one last chance
to get one of the "Impeach Both!!!" caps, which after January 20th
will no longer be available from us for love or for money.

Impeach Now Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_now.php

Will Congress now act? That is not the yardstick of the worth of our
activism. We speak out because we must speak out, whether we are
heeded or not. Let history record that we spoke out until the last
minute to the eternal shame of those who did not. Because when enough
of us speak out at once, the worst thing that can possibly happen is
that we are building the progressive base for the REAL change of the
future.

So Bush most certainly is planning on pardoning himself. And all the
right wing lock down ideologues in the corporate controlled media
will call it "healing". Let's all make nice with war criminals? Shall
we all make nice with the gang rape of our economy, our environment
and our Constitution? We think not.

And one more thing. You know that come January 20th the right wing
will start calling for the impeachment of our new president, over a
endless litany of the most ridiculous of trivial trifles. In fact it
has already started even though he has not even taken office. If they
are so hot on impeaching someone, let them speak out now, when it
truly is called for, or shut the hell up in 73 days.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

My Christmas wish is for Health Care Reform

Dear career politicians, Mr. President, Mr. Vice-President, Congressmen/women, and Senators!

I am a constituent, and this holiday season, my wish is for health reform.

CLEANING UP THE BUSH LEGACY

the two presidential terms served by George W. Bush — amount to what might be called the Dark Ages for endangered species across the country.

just before he left office he finalized changes gutting the rules that have made the Endangered Species Act successful for 35 years.

Needless to say, the Center was very busy throughout George W. Bush’s regrettable presidency,

Unfortunately, the mess Bush made of our planet and wildlife-protection laws is a big one, and we’re still cleaning it up.

Over Population an Environmental Crisis!

55 Republicans Members of Congress getting the public option

The list of congressional recipients of Medicare who also oppose the public option is below:

If your elected representative is here, call them and ask why if it's good enough for them, it's not good enough for you! Tell them to approve H.R.676 NOW!

Pat Roberts I'm calling you out on this, you're my Senator, Why is it good enough for you, and not for my family?

This is an open letter to all elected representatives about Health Care Reform!

Think about this!

Do something for "The People", not just the deep pockets that are parked in your offices.

Besides, how are we going to be able to afford insurance premiums when we don't have jobs?If you were really working for The People You'd vote in huge tax levys on Corporations that receive money from business' that they have moved off shore; eliminating American Jobs!

Support H.R. 676 single payer health care.

They want Total power to forcibly confiscate so-called “unreasonable compensation”

“Pay for Performance”

Here’s where it gets really scary. The bill does not define what “unreasonable” is. That total and absolute power is given to the unelected Treasury Secretary, who is free to write his own rules.

That power to confiscate doesn’t just apply to incompetent managers. It even applies to janitors, employees who actually performed their jobs well, or theoretically employees who make good money and oppose President Obama.

Yep, they’re giving an unelected bureaucrat – one who’s already proven he can’t follow the law – absolute power to confiscate the earnings of private citizens if he thinks it's "excessive," and they have no shame admitting that.

Giving the president absolute, unquestioned, unchecked power to intrude on private citizens was a bad idea under the Bush administration, and it’s still a bad idea under the Obama administration.

You can call Congressman Grayson yourself at 202-225-2176 to let him know what you think about his plan to give the Obama administration absolute, self-defined power to steal money they just feel people don’t deserve.Yep. 202-225-2176. Tell them the Libertarian Party sent you.
