as the world bounces from one climate disaster to another, as homes of the poor are swamped with the results of global warming, multi-national corporations, live like millionaires with their families sipping champagne and playing golf like they were the masters of the universe, mean while poor families all over the world pay the price for their out rageous behaviour, are we insane to let this situation continue, or are we just scared of losing what we have which in 10 yrs time if things dont change will amount to nothing, whta matters more ,people or how much money you can accummulate compared to your neighbour.I dont beleive they are human.

There is no disputing the facts that the war with Iraq is by Constitutional measurements illegal. Habeas Corpus has been done away with and there is talk of stopping "Free Speaking and thinking"..Children are denied health care and teachers have to bring supplies to school. Our roads and bridges are falling down and our national debt is off the charts, and yet the media rarely mentions these things. Why are we allowing this adminsitration to do this to us? Why do we allow Congress to vote for these things. I'd bet most people do not know that now we can be arrested and thrown in a jail and shipped to Egypt and tortured, or killed, and there is nothing we can do, and no one would know where we are or why. Why aren't we screaming Impeachment in the streets? This will stop future administrations from going this far again. Your thoughts?

I'm interested in joining a group devoted to creating and passing an immigration reform package that is fair and just to both immigrants and US citizens. I'm finding that most groups are deeply polarized and can't, or won't, consider legitiment opinions on the opposition's side. Both sides tend to parade around carrying colorful placards with inflamatory slogans that creates further polarization instead of any chance at a reasonable solution.
FAIR is the acronym for the Federation For American Immigration Reform.

I am not. I feel its an invasion of privacy. And realistically it will not stop the people we are being told its to stop. Terrorists and illigal immigrants. Its just another 'big brother' facade from the government, to monitor our every move, brought in on the back of a 'terrorist attack', to justify it.
quoted from enlightened godess "...The government has now proved itself to be incapable of protecting the details of the citizens of this country, should we now also launch a country wide campaign against the introduction of Identity cards?" I say YES we should.

In my opinion, our 2-party system is broken beyond repair. Campaign finance laws gaurantee that big business not only dictates foreign & domestic policy, they actually write it. The needs of the middle class are completly and utterly ignored.

There haven't been any viable 3rd party candidates in almost a century. Perot and Nader were the closest thing, and they didn't even come close to winning.

Rock-the-Vote and campigns like it are simply a way that the 2-party system indoctrinates young people into believing they are making a choice. That's just not true. There is no real difference between Democrats & Republicans - they're equally inept and corrupt.

By not voting you do 2 things:
1. Send a message that you don't agree with any of the current candidates.
2. Create a fertile ground for a 3rd party candidate to come along and galvanize the non-voters.

The only way to change the system is for a 3rd party candidate to come along who sparks enough non-voters into action.

Make Citi Call You!
Dear Friend,

Citi and Bank of America certainly heard from RAN last week.

Thousands of activists took to the streets during RAN's National Day of Action Against Coal Finance. We held hundreds of actions, rallies and protests from one coast to the other -- and in plenty of places in between. Every action had one clear message for both banks: stop funding coal, start funding renewable energy!

But I have a question for you: What would you say about coal if Citi called you?

Would you ask them why they are the biggest backer of coal, the single biggest cause of global warming?

Here's just a small example. The local deli has nice people working there, and I get a small coffee and buttered roll there every morning for $2.70. Today I was running late and stopped at Mobil Mart instead. The same coffee and roll were $2.10. In instances like this, should I go against my conscience and not support the Mom-and-Pop store and instead the mega-corporation?
