»BILL WILL EXPAND PREZ RIGHT TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW...

» Stubbornly pursuing a course that is destroying the planet ...By Peter Montague:  We set up all our institutions (churches, corporations, governments, laws, courts, media, schools) to encourage population growth and economic growth (the accumulation of capital assets -- farms, factories, highways, ports, power plants, and so on). Now we find ourselves with a shortage of nature, a superabundance of people, and a glut of capital assets -- more than we know what to do with, really. Because of this fundamental shift, almost everything is different now than it was 50 years ago. But our institutions, our language, and our mental tools have not changed. As a result, we are stubbornly pursuing a course that is wrecking the future.

» Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers... We the People are Setting the Table Now  [ By Cindy Sheehan]  We the people put the Democrats back into power because we want to see a change in this country and a rejection of politics as usual.

We want to see the issue of impeachment and a speedy and safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq de­ politicized and brought into the realm of "right and wrong" where these issues belong, not "right and left."

» America's Progressive Nightmare  Joe Mowrey, CounterPunch... The "progressive" community wasted the last two years and countless resources sponsoring corporate lackeys for election to a fascist system of government. (Fascism was originally defined by Benito Mussolini as a partnership between government and corporations.) Congratulations. There still is no serious anti war or anti­ militarism movement in this country. The corporatists won­ ­peace and social justice lost, again. With progress like this, who needs habeas corpus?
