Consider me & the other 60% who are not supporting our politicians interest of occupation in Iraq to be there in spirit. I feel like i cannot get enough news. I am sure there is much more to observe and take in ......I only wish i was down there in Crawford with my 6 year young son to represent our future, upcoming generation who will have to end up dealing with Bush's Legacy. Anyhow, i must say my son is quiet the observant young man as usual kids have the best advice.....and he is taught in aftercare (after school) ....LEARN TO USE YOUR WORDS whenever a disagreement or conflict arises. I only wish Mr. Bush could follow those simple instructions and set a better example for the world to follow. Instead our politicians choose the Avenue of Violence whatever happened to respecting the phrase in which violence begets violence? I just think our world would be a better place if Mr. Bush set a productive example and stear away from the oil dependant industry and not cave into it.

Sincerely,
Sunset

Well I was hoping to get some good weekend sleep after another week at school lol. (Next week is my last week) But I've decided I have to get up to watch C-SPAN. I might even record it on VHS or DVR. I watch C-SPAN on occasion, but this is a must-see. I will encourage everyone I know to watch. Good luck to Steve Cobble!

Steve, excellent work this morning!

I had my alarm set to go off at 7:30 AM, so I would not miss it. You really gave the Downing Street Memo some much needed attention, and hopefully some of the other mainstream media networks will begin reporting on the DSM and on ADS.

We the undersigned demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.

We also demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.

We also demand that the congress make all of a person's earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar salary cap. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.

We pledge to boycott Walmart and call them at 800-966-6546 and demand they help in getting the above legislation enacted or we will never buy from Walmart again.

We make no statement of quality of Walmart products but we maintain the right of free speech and association and of boycotting for the purpose of persuading congress to enact this part of a progressive agenda. After all the money belongs to us and we can legally set conditions for our purchases of products and doing business with any company in the United States.

We the undersigned also demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps or else we will not purchase products from the CVS, Eckerd, and Walgreens pharmacy chains. We make no statement of the quality of products sold by these pharmacy chains.

We pledge to Call Eckerd Pharmacy Corporate Headquarters at 800 325 3737, Call CVS Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 888 607 4287 and Call Walgreens Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 800 289 2273 and tell them we will not purchase any products from their drug stores but will patronize them in the future if they can get the congress to pass a prescription drug benefit as described above. If a person cannot stop buying medications from the three drug store chains,
I consider it acceptible to buy your medication from one of the chains but still refrain from buying other products from their drug stores.

We also call for the complete repeal of the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.

Please tell your friends, family and coworkers to sign this petition.

We do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation

If you don't support what the Republicans did since they took over the House of Representatives in 1995 and don't support the Republican party's plans for this year then Join the revolution for progressive legislation and sign the petition at
http://www.boycott-republicans.com

Write this url on your one, five and ten dollar bills in the white areas in Pencil.

Tennessee residents please make an effort to boycott the following companies I list in my boycott petition: Walmart and Eckerd,CVS, and Walgreens in your state and call Senator Frist and tell him unless he gets our agenda passed those Tennessee outlets of these chains will not get your business. You live at one of the biggest seats of power in the United States. Organize and use your purchasing power to leverage it into passing progressive legislation.

Also join my activist group

Sign the petition to end the war in Iraq.

To punish the Republicans for stealing the 2000 and 2004 elections BOYCOTT Wendy's (of Ohio) restaurant chain and Outback Steakhouse (Florida) chain until the people elect Democrats as governor and secretary of State and in the majority in the legislatures. Call and email Wendy's and Outback Steakhouses, 2 big Republican Party contributors.

I call for vote by mail throughout the United States of America. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color which happened electronicly and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Demand that your state implement vote by mail with ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials.

Spread the messages at your grocery store too by printing out the graphics and leave it in your shopping cart when you finish.

Look at this web page for other efforts.

Thank you.

How to destroy the agenda of Arnold Schwarzenegger

and advance a progessive agenda in California.

http://www.boycott-republicans.com

The following people and companies gave at least 21,000 dollars to Arnold's
campaign and recall effort in 2003. I have named some of the more consumer oriented companies meaning they sell a product to the public that people can easily boycott and buy elsewhere. I suggest people begin by gathering your legislative goals and call these companies and tell them that they helped Arnold steal the California governorship so unless they get Arnold and the legislature to pass your desired legislation you and other people will call them and tell them you will boycott them.

and now the companies that helped install Arnold.

Steve,

I stayed up all night so as not to miss this. I want you to know how very grateful I am for your hard work.

Please know you clearly outclassed your adversary. Not having ever seen a picture of you I wondered which one you were as the two of you entered the set. On closer examination I knew the fat one with the pointy shoes could not be you. :)

Keep it up. I'm doing all I can. I thank God for the DSM, as at last we have the workings of "absolute power" transcribed for posterity. Perhaps it's my imagination but I thought Bush looked sorta frazzled around the edges at his last faux "press conference"...I think he's running scared...I believe he knows something is in the wind... "a hard rain's a gonna fall".
