Clinton And Obama Break Promise To Stop Spying Immunity for Phone Companies

January 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Why should Democrats bother supporting Obama or Clinton when they won’t keep their promises to Democratic voters? Why should either Obama or Clinton be made President when they won’t do the job they have now as senators? If Clinton and Obama won’t act to defend our freedom from illegal government spying now, why should we believe that either one would defend our freedom as President?

How Does Celebrity Global Travel Help The Environment?

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Being an environmental activist is like exercising. Watching an exercise show doesn’t do you any good. You’ve got to do the work yourself. In the case of the environment, a lot of the work has to do with cutting back on the most wasteful luxuries, and figuring out what you really need as opposed to what you’re used to having around.

White House Admits It Destroyed Public Records Relating To Criminal Investigation

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The White House justifies its destruction of the records by saying that doing so is “consistent with industry best practices”. What President George W. Bush clearly does not understand is that the federal government of the United States of America is not an industry. Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. It therefore is expected to follow standards that are higher than those adopted by big business.

Protesters Arrested. Torturers Walk Free.

January 14th, 2008 · No Comments

The American government will have the power to keep people in prison and torture them, without any trial, merely because the people are suspected by the government of having done something wrong. The people who tortured those British citizens walk free out on the streets.

Backing Up George W. Bush Was Not Change, Senator Clinton

January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

It was Barack Obama who was the agent of change, speaking out against the coming war, asking Democrats like you to show some backbone. When it comes to change, Hillary Clinton, you’re a talker, not a doer. You can’t convince people that you’re a reformer who will stand up to the Republicans just by dropping the word “change” into your speeches in every other sentence.

That Barrage of Second Guessing of Clinton Is Democracy

January 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Hillary Clinton has to deal with the little people, the American people, We The Activists who care enough to vote. No multimillion dollar series of television advertisements is going to buy us off. If Hillary Clinton wants to win, she had better start paying attention to the “second-guessing” coming from the progressive grassroots. If she had listened to our “barrage of second-guessing” back in 2002, she wouldn’t have made that tragic vote in favor of starting a war in Iraq.
