In response to Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, et al, there have been a few organizations sprouting and taking action to protect their country. Their mission is to inform the public of the truth behind the lies (god knows the media isn’t doing it’s job) – and hopefully to effect a change in govenment.
These organizations are not allied with any political party – they are, however, united in their opposition to the present-day republican party.
They are exercising what is known as “free speech” and the “freedom of association”.
They are being attacked by the republicans, who don’t respect anyone’s right to free speech but their own – and want it stopped. Of course they want it stopped, and the first amendment has no more meaning now than it ever did in the U.S. (Remember the McCarthy years? This isn’t the first time that free speech and freedom of association was proved a myth in the U.S.)
Anyway, long story short, here’s the article:
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/31/gop.complaint/
To risk being controntational, I say this: The U.S. has more than free speech to protect: Technically, it isn’t even a democracy anymore, since it’s present president was NOT elected democratically. Many strings were pulled, laws broken, and favors called upon to put Bush in office. It wasn’t the voters who put him there.
This is cool. 527 nicely organized groups looking to kick his sorry ass back to Crawford.
Bush is Toast !

Janet … as a woman you might find this article interesting.
Basically because the Illuminati knew decades ago that
the purchasing power of money would be declining to the point
where it would take ” 2 salaries instead of 1 ” to survive they had
to come up with a solution to pacify the expected outrage from
the population … so what to do ?
… Read how the C.I.A. backed up feminism as a solution.

That stuff is hard to believe.Senator says US may need compulsory service to boost Iraq force
Tue Apr 20,12:34 PM ET Add Politics – AFP to My Yahoo!
WASHINGTON (AFP) – A senior Republican lawmaker said that deteriorating security in Iraq (news – web sites) may force the United States to reintroduce the military draft.
“There’s not an American … that doesn’t understand what we are engaged in today and what the prospects are for the future,” Senator Chuck Hagel told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on post-occupation Iraq.
“Why shouldn’t we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?” Hagel said, arguing that restoring compulsory military service would force “our citizens to understand the intensity and depth of challenges we face.”
The Nebraska Republican added that a draft, which was ended in the early 1970s, would spread the burden of military service in Iraq more equitably among various social strata.
“Those who are serving today and dying today are the middle class and lower middle class,” he observed.
The call to consider a imposing a draft comes just days after the Pentagon (news – web sites) moved to extend the missions of some 20,000 of the 135,000 US troops in Iraq.
Some critics of the US-led occupation complain that military planners used too few troops to subdue Iraq, and insist that more military muscle will be needed to restore order.
The US-led military coalition was put under further strain by the announcement this week by coalition members Spain and Honduras that they would withdraw their military contingents from Iraq.
Meanwhile, witnesses at the hearing, including academics and former US officials, expressed concern about ongoing flareups of violence in Iraq this month — the bloodiest yet for US troops.
“I think it’s clear that pressures in Iraq have reached the boiling point,” said Samuel Berger, national security adviser during the Bill Clinton (news – web sites) administration, who called for an increase in troops there, and a “genuine, non-grudging effort to internationalize the enterprise in Iraq, both military and civilian.”
“We’ve got to be prepared to give up our hammerlock on decision making in exchange for genuine burden sharing.”
Richard Perle, a former White House adviser who currently serves as a fellow at a conservative think tank, advised against adding troops or extending the date of handover of Iraqi sovereignty beyond the currently-set June 30 date.
“It is essential that we not delay the handover of sovereignty set for the end of June, even if there is continuing violence by those who know they have no place in a decent, democratic Iraq,” he said.
Perle also warned against entrusting the United Nations (news – web sites) with the post-occupation administration of Iraq, saying UN involvement should be kept at “an absolute minimum.”
“A large UN contingent in Iraq … would do more harm than good,” Perle said.
“It would discourage the assumption of sovereignty by Iraqis themselves. It would drain resources urgently needed for the development of Iraq’s economy,” Perle said.
A senior Democrat meanwhile, lashed out at the White House for failing to send a top administration official to appear before the panel.
“I think it is outrageous that the administration has not provided every witness we’ve asked for,” said Senator Joseph Biden, the highest-ranking Democrat on the committee.
“The fact that they are not prepared to send a witness means that they are either totally incompetent and they don’t have anything to tell us … or they’re refusing to allow us to fulfill our constitutional responsibility” of congressional oversight, Biden said.
The committee’s Republican chairman, Richard Lugar, also slammed the White House for “inadequate planning and communication related to Iraq.”

Surely he meant to say “There’s not an American… [or anyone else] that does understand what we are engaged in today and what the prospects are for the future……”
Or maybe we do understand, it’s just not what they want us to understand.

The good news is that the news is out.
A radio program I listen to – an american sindicated program – which was once totally republican in perspective and all for Bush is not airing anti-Bush themes and the ‘911’ conspiracy.
A complete turn around.
I think it’s called “coast to coast”. Used to be the Art Bell show, or something like that.This radio personality from Austin Texas has alot of great information and interviews.
Listen to all these links … I’m surprised he is still alive !
