Unfortunately, due to the complicity of the Mainstream News Media, America is at a crossroads – one that most citizens aren’t even aware of; our MSM is run by corporate interests, and even though some reporters would give anything to tell us the truth, they are stifled from reporting the real news by their corporate masters. We have one or two reporters that deserve the Medal of Freedom for their honesty and tenacity, like Keith Olbermann for instance – but his audience is too small to make a real difference, and the news I’m speaking of should dominate the media, in print , on the radio and on all of the nightly news reports, but instead, what we hear are bits and pieces of so-called news that fail to sound the alarm that America is dying, not a slow death, but our economy is close to a complete collapse, and if Bush and Cheney have their way, World War III could begin at any moment. Yes, it’s that serious, yet the MSM refuses to tell Americans the truth, traitors and cowards for refusing to honor their own beliefs in journalism and protecting the freedom and democracy that a “free press” traditionally provided to its subscribers. The framers of our constitution understood that a free press was essential to the survival of our democracy, and even on our own government’s website, these words are immortal and as true today as when our constitution was first written:

— C H A P T E R 4 —
Freedom of the Press
Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press?.
— First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Although a cherished right of the people, freedom of the press is different from other liberties of the people in that it is both individual and institutional. It applies not just to a single person’s right to publish ideas, but also to the right of print and broadcast media to express political views and to cover and publish news. A free press is, therefore, one of the foundations of a democratic society, and as Walter Lippmann, the 20th-century American columnist, wrote, “A free press is not a privilege, but an organic necessity in a great society.” Indeed, as society has grown increasingly complex, people rely more and more on newspapers, radio, and television to keep abreast with world news, opinion, and political ideas. One sign of the importance of a free press is that when antidemocratic forces take over a country, their first act is often to muzzle the press.

Thomas Jefferson, on the necessity of a free press (1787)

The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

Without a free press, and I mean a news media that fulfills the obligation to our constitution who understand they are one of the first lines of defense against tyranny and despotism, liberty and democracy will not survive! When “the people” are no longer are aware of the truth, and are fed lies and propaganda under the guise of it being “news”, it is impossible to hold-on to a democracy and the very essence of liberty and freedom - the spirit and principles which caused this great nation to be founded.

Our press has been compromised, and now the only thing left to save our country is the people themselves - and to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat, the responsibility falls directly upon those of us who are aware of the truth, and we must not shirk our responsibility to sound the warning to our relatives and neighbors, and above all, find the courage to do more than write and talk about the danger(s) we face, but add action to our beliefs and help to bring about an awakening in the United States that will ring-out and reverberate throughout the country. Yes, we can do it, but it won’t be easy, but the fruits of failure are so impossible to imagine that I believe the American people, acting together, can and will take action in support of our beliefs and work to restore our constitutional standards and the rule of law to a nation that has lost its way.

I’m a firm believer in the separation of church and state, however, if a pastor knows that a tornado is heading directly toward his church, does he ignore it and pray that God will spare his congregation, or will he sound a warning for his parishioners to seek cover until the storm has passed? One of the ways that we can spread the word is through the real churches that believe in the true beliefs of Christianity - not the radical evangelicals that support war in the Middle-East to “help” bring-on the second coming of Christ; if you believe in God, then you know that he doesn’t need any help in bringing about his wishes - and ever since I was a child I was taught that “God helps those who help themselves,” and as grim as the real news is, we need all of the help we can get, and that includes America’s thousands of churches whom truly adhere to the teachings of Christ.

We all know that Bush and Cheney are being urged by Israel to attack Iran, being told that if we don’t do it, they will do it themselves. The probability of war is so thick right now that it’s being written about all over the world, yet Americans see little evidence in our own news that an attack is right around the corner, and the consequences of such an attack will forever change the face of the United States. Don’t take my word for it, read it yourselves, and then print this article and give it to your neighbor, and ask your pastor to sound the alarm as well. As Americans who believe in the rule of law, like our Congress, it is our duty to help to stave off war, and hoping that Congress or someone else will do it has proven to be fruitless, akin to expecting President Bush to tell the truth instead of constantly lying to the public and destroying everything that Americans cherish and believe in, including our belief that no one is above the law, and that includes the President of The United States!

In the past 72 hours, the rhetoric is reaching a feverish pitch, and Congress is vacationing while our economy is crumbling and America is marching toward another war, this one which will make gas and food so expensive that it will cause riots and poverty that will make the Great Depression seem minor in comparison. We have almost no food reserves, millions are losing their homes, and the task of feeding our families and keeping gas in our cars is becoming a national nightmare - and all of this has happened before the first bomb has fallen, which should make it obvious that if Bush attacks Iran, our ability to exist as a free and independent society will be compromised and likely lost forever! Be honest with yourselves; there’s nothing left in the treasury, our troops are strained to the limit, and the United Nations has warned that attacking Iran will turn the Middle-East into a “Ball of Fire!”

Read the war rhetoric that has been authored in the past few days, and whether you believe in God or not, it’s time to enlist everyone you know, churches, unions, social groups, anyone and everyone that wishes to exist in a free and democratic society and warn them that we are directly in the path of a “tornado” of hate, loathing and greed, all of it brought upon us by a President that refuses to honor our Constitution and the rule of law. It’s also important to know exactly “who” President Bush is, and what his family has stood for, and by understanding their history, it becomes even more imperative to stop him dead in his tracks and instead of “appeasing” President Bush as happened in 1933 with Prescott Bush, this time we need to prosecute the fascists that are attempting to overthrow America!

Bush Fulfills His Grandfather’s Dream

David Swanson, June 27, 2008

It’s remarkably common for a grandson to take up his grandfather’s major project. This occurred to me when I read recently of Thor Heyerdahl’s grandson taking up his mission to cross the Pacific on a raft. But what really struck me was the BBC story aired on July 23rd, 2007, documenting President George W. Bush’s grandfather’s involvement in a 1933 plot to overthrow the U.S. government and install a fascist dictatorship. I knew the story, but had not considered the possibility that the grandson was trying to accomplish what his grandfather had failed to achieve.

Prescott Sheldon Bush (1895 to 1972) attended Yale University and joined the secret society known as Skull and Bones. Prescott is widely reported to have stolen the skull of Native American leader Geronimo. As far as I know, this has not actually been confirmed. In fact, Prescott seems to have had a habit of making things up. He sent letters home from World War I claiming he’d received medals for heroism. After the letters were printed in newspapers, he had to retract his claims.

If this does not yet sound like the life of a George W. Bush ancestor, try this on for size: Prescott Bush’s early business efforts tended to fail. He married the daughter of a very rich man named George Herbert Walker (the guy with the compound at Kennebunkport, Maine, that now belongs to the Bush family, and the origin of Dubya’s middle initial). Walker installed Prescott Bush as an executive in Thyssen and Flick. From then on, Prescott’s business dealings went better, and he entered politics.

Now, the name Thyssen comes from a German named Fritz Thyssen, major financial backer of the rise of Adolph Hitler. Thyssen was referred to in the New York Herald-Tribune as “Hitler’s Angel.” During the 1930s and early 1940s, and even as late as 1951, Prescott Bush was involved in business dealings with Thyssen, and was inevitably aware of both Thyssen’s political activities and the fact that the companies involved were financially benefiting the nation of Germany. In addition, the companies Prescott Bush profited from included one engaged in mining operations in Poland using slave labor from Auschwitz. Two former slave laborers have sued the U.S. government and the heirs of Prescott Bush for $40 billion. MUCH MORE

After you’ve read that article, it’s easier to understand why everything seems to be falling apart, and Bush is intent on starting another war so he can declare martial law and finish fulfilling his Grandfather’s legacy. Three years ago, those of us that predicted President Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a precursor to war with Iran were called “conspiracy nuts”; now, war with Iran appears to be inevitable, and it could happen at any moment - and only you and “the people” can stop it before it starts. Below are several must-read articles that indicate that war is only a millimeter away:

Congress Rushes to Encourage Iran Attack

Report: U.S. ‘preparing the battlefield’ in Iran

Iran to ready thousands of graves for enemy soldiers

Iran: If attacked, we’ll hit Israel, close oil passage

Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart

Cheney, being the “Patriot” he is, actually attempted to block our negotiations and tentative peace deal with North Korea, demonstrating that in his case- a Neo-con doesn’t doesn’t change his stripes, unless doing so would further his warmongering agenda; I believe that Bush, in a sick sort of way, actually believes some of the garbage he is spewing, but has no understanding of anything more complex than “My Pet Goat” - more proof that he is nothing more than a puppet in the Bush crime family. Cheney appears to be the epitome of evil, snarling at his critics and not caring about next years elections; after all, he’s made his fortunes and believes that he can disappear while the investigation proceeds into his “shadow government” that is itching to take-over our democratic nation just as soon as the Bush puppet is called-in in to make a decision:

Dick Cheney ‘tried to block North Korea nuclear deal’

By Philip Sherwell in New York
Last Updated: 6:51PM BST 28/06/2008

Vice President Dick Cheney fought furiously to block efforts by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to strike a controversial US compromise deal with North Korea over the communist state’s nuclear programme, the Telegraph has learned.

“The exchanges between Cheney’s office and Rice’s people at State got very testy. But ultimately Condi had the President’s ear and persuaded him that his legacy would be stronger if they reached a deal with Pyongyang,” said a Pentagon adviser who was briefed on the battle.

Mr Cheney’s office is believed to have played a key role in the release two months ago of documents and photographs linking North Korea to a suspected nuclear site in Syria that was bombed by Israeli jets last year. MUCH MORE

Most of the evidence is here, and it points directly to war with Iran. It’s time for Americans to understand the consequences of such a war, and in doing do, the goosebumps on your back will Haunt you as reality begins to sink-in and you understand that America will effectively reach “third world Status” and we will be as poor and destitute as the many nations that we have helped throughout history that couldn’t't seem to pull themselves out from under inflation and living conditions that shocked the conscience of the average American:

Opinion & Editorial: Iran invasion would bring fatal consequences

By Monty Rohde (Excerpts)

When the media considers how the Iranians could respond, it generally only speculates on the Iranians responding passively and ceasing oil production. According to CNN, the result would be an immediate 5 percent drop in the global supply, which could cause prices to rise in excess of $60 a barrel, creating a minor pain for Americans at the gas pump. This scenario is dangerously optimistic. The hardliners controlling the Iranian government will not react timidly. While the Iranian military lacks the sheer power of the American armed forces, it does not need to match strength for strength.

After American or Israeli forces attack, the Iranians will likely retaliate using ballistic missiles, attacking Israeli cities and American bases around the Persian Gulf. Attacks against Israel should prove ineffective. Iran has a small inventory of missiles that have the necessary 1,300 km range to strike targets within Israel, according to Globalsecurity.org, and since the First Gulf War, Israel has developed an effective anti-ballistic-missile program. The Iranians do have a sizable arsenal of shorter-range missiles that could be used to strike American targets in Iraq.

Although Patriot Missile batteries proved effective against Iraqi missiles in the second Gulf War, it may be possible to overwhelm individual batteries. Only 54 such batteries were deployed during the second Gulf War, defending staging areas in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. There are likely fewer systems in theater at the moment, and American bases are dispersed throughout Iraq, making them harder to protect. By firing enough missiles into the Green Zone in Baghdad, the Iranians could decapitate the Iraqi government and kill a large number of American military leaders. MUCH MORE This is an excellent article and delves into the 12 consequences, and the impact on our way of life is breathtaking!

This is meant to be a sister article to “Independence Day Is Coming - Let’s Make It A Real Day For America’s Independence!” and “Call to Action July 4th- Get off the internet, I’ll see you in the streets!” Whether the Truckers strike is immaterial; we need them just as they need us, but after you read and understand “why” it’s so urgent to stop Bush from Bombing Iran, it is apparent that in order to quash his warmongering and attempts at overthrowing Democracy in America, to do nothing is literally suicide for our country as a whole - and while the rich may survive, the Middle-class and poor will be in a panic just to figure out how to feed our families and find the money to get to work.

Celebrate the 4th of July this year with a renewed vigor and spirit. Remember the principles and beliefs that caused our nation to be created with a constitutional framework to guarantee that tyranny could never show its ugly head here, but now, without a free press, the people are largely ignorant and believe many the lies the Bush administration publishes on a daily basis through their bought and paid-for MSM. Further, when and if you protest, don’t forget the MSM who are as guilty and complicit as Bush himself - and as they cut jobs by the thousands, remind them that one network could dominate everyone else if they would just “sound the alarm” and report the truth to the bulk of the population and state exactly what is at stake and the true price for failure.

On Tuesday, when it’s time to go to work, eat some tomatoes during the holiday weekend, and call in sick with salmonella that the CDC can’t seem to pin-down, but has nevertheless affected over thirty-three states. Yes, you’ll lose some wages, but knowing that higher gas and food prices are right around the corner mitigate any money you might lose in the short-term, and Congress and this Presidency need to be reminded that it’s “we the people” who own and operate America, not them. A simple work-stoppage will send a message and will force Congress to take immediate action. This nation doesn’t operate without the people working diligently to keep things flowing, and now, our efforts are supporting nothing but war and financial collapse - so what’s the point?

This could be one of our last chances to make a difference before the Middle-East, and possibly the United States on our own mainland, are embroiled in a war that will destroy what’s left of our country. Most of you have children, grandchildren, and family that will be sucked into the system as the draft will be re-implemented to support another war - and our quality of life will be one that should make everyone shudder. Mine is only one idea, however, there are organizers and activists that can take this framework of protest and turn it into a reality - but it will take your support and understanding that if we fail to act, like the Jews in Germany, we are sealing our fate by “hoping” that someone brings sanity to Washington, which so far, has been a pipe-dream that has done nothing but further allow Bush to retain and grab more power to effectively complete his Grandfather’s legacy -one that is contrary to the American way of life and is treasonous when we look into the may ways that Bush has dismantled our system of checks and balances and made the United States the Fourth Reich, all the while condemning other nations for curtailing the freedom of its countrymen, a project that PNAC and Bush have been working on for decades. It’s also time to put out collective foot down and demand that Congress vote for the health and safety of the American people, not the interests of AIPAC and the radicals that are taking over Israel much as they have in our nation.

The evidence and substantiation is here. You can choose to watch our society implode with other war, or you can act as patriotic Americans and do whatever it takes to make Washington vote the will of the people, and don’t forget, even for a second, that the United States belongs to us, not the politicians and elitists that are running our country into the ground!

Independence Day is coming, and as Americans, we must re-declare that independence and refuse to knuckle-under to AIPAC and the lobbyists that are spending millions to keep the government from halting oil speculation, the true reason why gas and diesel prices are rising faster than our ability to cope with their rise. Read the above articles in-depth, and understand that it’s not me that predicting war with Iran, but Israel, the United States, and most of the global news media that still prints much of the truth, making our own MSM seem insignificant and ineffective. We owe it to ourselves, but even more, we owe it to our children and grandchildren, and the countless hundreds of thousands whom have died in the pursuit of liberty and freedom.

Our goal is to organize a peaceful, non-violent march in the streets, in towns, cities, suburbs, etc. followed by a rally in support of Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s 35 Articles of Impeachment. Protest locally and demand national action.

“It was not by accident or coincidence that the rights to freedom in speech and press were coupled in a single guaranty with the rights of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition for redress of grievances. All these, though not identical, are inseparable. They are cognate rights, and therefore are united in the first Article’s assurance.” - Judge Wiley B. Rutledge

The 4th of July has become nothing more than BBQ’s, fireworks & vacations. This fourth of July we can restore constitutional government as the founding fathers set forth. A Call To Action from citizens to other citizens that calls upon all Americans who believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. By involving as many volunteers and participants as we can, we intend to spread the know-how of mass mobilization and direct- action to the movement. As a peaceful law abiding movement, it is our responsibility to wisely and effectively use our constitutional right to assemble. ALL Americans, who have lost hope, patience, loved ones, etc. can finally be heard.

We need local chapters formed now to recruit locally.

When planning a protest,

Select Your Target

Sites for a protest must be on public property unless you have written permission to hold your event from the property owner. You can be arrested on any private property. Potential protest sites include:

Outside State, County, City, Town, or Federal buildings
State and County election commission offices
Town Halls, City Halls, State Capitols
National Media offices and studios (only on nearby public owned and maintained sidewalks, parks, and open spaces)

*Protest outside local media. Local media will gladly cover your protest if you target them. Pass out flyers with articles of impeachment.

“Hit the Streets.”

But why spend our time protesting in DC to be ignored? Unless we get in the streets outside our rep.s personal residences- who is going to care?

We need to mobilize locally- & demand national action. Few of us could go to Washington, DC- but many of us- can go to our city halls or state legislatures- or local Congressional offices.

If we protest in a targeted fashion, such as in front of CNN, the New York Crimes, The Washington Compost, ABC, and the MSM who refuse to report real news to the American public - the message will be undeniable and it will receive press coverage, especially if enough people show-up to make it difficult for employees to find parking places and the protests last enough time so that each branch of the Bush propaganda machine understand that “the people” are fed-up with their cowardice, collusion and complicity in the destruction of our country.

If you have a guest speaker, a PA system, or plan to plug something in get a permit.

Schedule Your Protest

Select a time when most people in the area can attend:
If picketing offices, the hour employees arrive and depart provides high visibility for your target audience: weekday mornings, lunch hour, quitin’ time.
Give yourself enough lead time before the event to sufficiently publicize and prepare your event.

Once, announced, don’t change the place, date, or time.

Plan Your Protest

Good planning makes a big difference. A Logistics Coordinator can really help. Here’s a partial protest planning checklist:

Arrange for a permit (if needed) immediately. Many jurisdictions require a two-week notice or longer
Invite speakers early (local/national politicians, radio and television personalities, political activists, celebrities, and writers). If possible, arrange to meet your event speakers personally beforehand.
Rent or find someone to volunteer the use of a PA system (make sure you have access to electricity on site)
Notify the police and fire departments nearest your site the week prior to your event
Plan for set up, tear down, and clean up
Put together a Press Kit for the day of the event. Include:
A protest press release detailing the facts of the protest and describing the protest’s purpose and goals
A list of guest speakers with short biographies of each
A list of online links providing background information on election reform, research and evidence of election irregularities, the dangers of digital voting systems, etc.
A list of upcoming local and national events. Don’t forget any follow-on meetups or events you have planned. General Strike 9/11/08
Any protest contact information for follow-up and interviews - www.votestrike.com
Plan for press interviews during and immediately after your protest. Designate who will be interviewed and what message will be delivered. During the protest, seek out the press and don’t let them get away without an interview. Remember to “stay on message” when talking to the press.
Plan a post-protest “What’s Next” meeting.

Publicize Your Protest

Communicating your protest is vital. Define who can get to your event. Research how to get to them. A Communications Coordinator comes in handy for managing your event communications. Here is a partial checklist:

Email people and organizations you know or who know you. Ask them to spread the word.
Compose and release a press release to all local media announcing your protest.
Post electronic protest announcements and requests for volunteers on community message boards, blogs, and usergroup forums
Make, print and distribute flyers announcing your protest (download our flyer template and modify it to suit your event). Put flyers only in permitted locations. Seek business’s permission to post any flyers in or on their premises.
Call in to local radio and television talk shows.
Contact local political and activist organizations
Notify union halls, civic organizations, and college campus student groups and organizations
Post-Protest Planning

Don’t leave your protesters hanging. Announce at your protest things people can do after the event . Announce and hold a post-protest “What’s Next” meeting. Communicate other activities happening elsewhere and the need for continued action and involvement. Remind everyone to spread the word about the state of our country and the urgent need for effective reform.

PERMITS

Citizen protests seeking a redress of grievances from their government are constitutionally guaranteed provided any assembly is peaceful and law-abiding. Permits are not required.

However, public rallies involving PA systems, invited guest speakers, use of electic power, and the need to prepare a public space do require a permit. Without a permit, property can be confiscated and people arrested. So, if you plan music, speakers, and supporting equipment, get a permit. Remember, many jurisdictions require a two-week lead time or more for the issuance of public site use or street march permits.

LAWFUL BEHAVIOR

Foot Traffic

Do NOT walk in the street unless you have a permit to do so. If gathering on the sidewalks please be sure to keep an aisle open for through foot traffic and under no circumstances step in to the street unless permitted to do so by police officers. We don’t want any arrests or property destruction and there are no contingencies for acts of civil disobedience at these events.

Signs - ‘Impeach or we Strike’

Metal poles, wooden sticks and plastic pipes that are more than 1/2″ in diameter are not permitted on the Statehouse grounds even as simple sign supports. If you bring signs or banners they must either be hand-held or supported on cardboard tubes or on PVC frames made from piping less than 1/2 inch in diameter. State Troopers will approach you and order you to discard any metal pipes or wooden stakes. This is a rule they are very diligent about enforcing. Please comply with this rule so as to avoid any unnecessary interaction with law enforcement officials.

Disruption

If you see some one disrupting the protest and violence breaks out, notify a police officer immediately. Do not hope it goes away or try to ignore the disturbance. Aside from the obvious safety concerns, we want the press to report the message of the protesters, not dismiss or mischaracterize the event due to inappropriate and illegal behavior. If police respond inappropriately to a situation, take photos but back off and give them their terain. Do not resist or argue or complain to the police in the moment. Move away and document the incident froma safe distance

Language

If there are no guest speakers are at your state capitol protest, lead chants and songs. If you have a bull horn, ask the protesters to come forward and speak their piece to the assembled crowd. Monitor the language though. It is illegal to incite to riot or other illegal activities. Profanity can also end the protest if broadcast over an amplified device.

PETITIONS

Consider composing a local or state petition calling for effective reform. Address the petition to your State Representatives and State Senators.

Before distributing the Petition to State Representatives, provide a copy of the petition document to the Secretary of State. Seek out any State Representatives you think may be supportive of the petition and ask them to accompany you in delivering it to other House and Senate members. If you have a sympathetic federal elected representative, ask them to endorse the petition before delivering it. Be sure you have a designated person to hand carry the signed document before collecting signatures.

THE PRESS

Remember, the local press will likely want to cover your protest. Conversely, don’t waste a lot of time running after national media. I have reports of national producers being threatened with termination if they cover the general strike stories.

Well ahead of your protest, visit your local newspaper and ask to speak to the local or state news desk editor. Also, try to personally visit the local television stations and ask to speak to a reporter or news producer. If you have a progressive talk radio station, do likewise (This is why a Communications Coordinator would come in handy).

For those of you planning a media blitz for any protest or activity, be advised:

Do not send attachments. Most media outlets will refuse emails with any attachments
Place all text in the body of the email, not exceeding 500 words. Many media outlets refuse emails in excess of 500 words.
Do not send repeated emails with highly repetitious text or the same subject line. Most news outlets filter email for repetitious content or similar Subject Line text. If you plan an email blitz of local media, change the content of multiple emails going to one address by at least 40%. Otherwise, you are likely to just fill up a spam reject folders.
When emailing newspapers, be cognizant of deadlines. Sunday features deadlines (Living Section, Sunday magazine, etc.) usually occur on Thursday.

Email to a few email addresses (usually less than 50) at a time to avoid trouble with your ISP

FLYERS, POSTERS AND SIGNS

“Make a Sign and Show Up” worked for us and will work for you in your pre-protest promotion.
Down load posters, Articles of Impeachment & Impeachment articles/flyers from: http://www.votestrike.com
Include URL, date, time, place & reason for action/reform. Down load maps from Mapquest to insert in flyers. Give easy to follow directions to your protest.

Things to think about…
There will be ZERO mainstream media discussion of this Impeachment Protest BEFORE it happens. ZERO. So, we must BE OUR OWN MEDIA and promote it. Link to this site from sites and blogs. Mention it with links in your comments on blogs. PROMOTE IT.

There will be little or no mainstream media coverage of the Impeachment Protest AFTER it happens, except to mention places where it turned violent or where something didn’t go as planned. WE WILL HAVE TO BE OUR OWN MEDIA!!! Capture video and upload it everywhere. Send it around. Let others know how it went. Blog about it.

There will be attempts to minimize the effectiveness and impact. Look for your enemies to make it harder for you to take part. They will schedule classes, exams, meetings, events, and other “urgent” activities that don’t allow you to take part. BE STRONG! HOLD TRUE TO YOUR VALUES. THIS ONE MATTERS.

There will be provocatours who will try to co-opt this event into violence that can then be used against the movement. DON’T FALL FOR IT! An Impeachment Protest does NOT have to be violent. It is a matter of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, NOT VIOLENCE. You are NOT going to school. You are NOT going to WORK. You are NOT shopping. You do NOT have to be violent to NOT do those things. March legally. Protest legally. MAKE YOUR POINT LEGALLY and don’t be tricked by “friends” into thinking that you have to be violent to make your point.

I created a website www.votestrike.com for you the voters because whichever party you belong to they have failed you. The website has ambitious goals of how to end the two party system & the third party myth. Modeled after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Polish overthrow of the communist government & the Phillipines removal of Marcos. All accomplished without firing a shot. But we do not rely on the failed tactics of the past instead we use the election system & the very votes & voters this system relies upon. And the site also offers campaign funding sources- who’s bought off your candidate? As well as your solutions to education, lobbyist, healthcare, illegal immigration, the war on terror, the war in Iraq, crime, drugs, pedophiles, taxes. And a link page with 1000 links to more on these topics. I’m here to ask you to check it out, it’s free. And you can submit content. Thanks for your time, my name is chris.

On April the 29th, I wrote “An Open Letter To The Truckers Of America.” We all know that Truckers are the backbone of America, and when it comes to high fuel costs, it is those whom work the longest, hardest hours of all who feel the pain the most. The independents are being squeezed out of business, and making a living while keeping America’s stores, pharmacy’s, and all of the goods we purchase is becoming a national nightmare for the truckers of America! Just a few minutes ago, I received two comments, both from truckers, and to me, it appears they are becoming fed-up by being ripped-off by inflated fuel prices that are due to oil speculation - not a shortage of oil! Read “Bush Blames Democrats For Oil Prices; More Lies From “The Commander In Thief” and you will understand that there’s no real oil shortage, and it’s well documented and substantiated. The same crooks that bled us dry with the sub-prime crisis have moved on to greener pastures, and greed seems to have no boundaries, even if it means destroying the country we all love and cherish!

Independence Day is only ten (10) days away, but there’s still time to make it a real Independence Day instead of a day that has become nothing but symbolism and a time when we all take our vacations, this year in particular, when the oil industry will mount-up millions more in profits as Americans pay absurd prices at the pump, further lining the wallets of the speculators that are spending millions lobbying Congress to stop from interfering in their “free market” speculation, another word for robbing the public blind! As the Truckers said, enough is enough, and if the truckers of America strike, they can bring this entire country to a standstill, making a general strike unnecessary as Congress re-convenes and are forced back to work from their vacations to answer the concerns of a nation that has had enough of the Bush administration and a Congress that refuses to perform their sworn duty to impeach when the President and Vice-President are guilty as sin of “high crimes and misdemeanors” against the global community and the people of the United States!

The issue I’m speaking of is torture, a matter that we as a nation have frowned-upon since the beginning of this great democracy. We are co-signatures against torture when we signed the resolution for the Geneva convention, and as a society, to know that “44% of Americans favor torture for terrorist suspects” is disheartening and proof that Bush’s propaganda machine and the mechanics of “selling fear” have been successful in the United States. It’s time for people to tune-out Faux News and other Mainstream News outlets that publish the fear tactics of the White House and take a look into your own conscience and understand the implications of what advocating torture does to our reputation as a nation, the effects it will have on our own troops, and the moral and ethical consequences of allowing fear to overtake our common sense!

There’s no doubt that we live in political times that are highly charged; Right-wing pundits dominate the radio and TV while the majority of Americans believe that America is heading in the wrong way by a whopping 81%, yet what we are assailed with on a regular basis are the 19% that support the Bush administration and seem intent on starting another war - proof positive that the White House’s propaganda machine and corporate America are bound and determined to have their way in spite of overwhelming condemnation from the majority of America. It seems that “the people” no longer have a voice, ignored by Congress and the Presidency - and a Speaker of The House that for all practical purposes, appears to be a rabid Bush supporter rather than a Democrat - a symptom that America is definitely headed on the wrong path, compliments of a Congress and Judiciary that have turned their back on their oaths of office and seem intent on destroying our economy, our belief(s) in the constitution, and the rule of law.

To the rest of the world, it must appear that America is imploding from within - and our enemies, who are real and standing on the sidelines wondering how to deal with a military giant that seems out of control, are likely in hushed meetings and conferences asking themselves how 19% of the population have obviously taken control over what used to be the world’s premier superpower which now is in disarray and chaos; our Congress is rubber-stamping whatever the Bush administration wants, and Democrats like Pelosi and Hoyer are giving in to a lame-duck that still has the ability to plunge the US into another war that could thrust the Middle-East into a “ball of fire”. We know that the fear of war is real, especially when the United Nation’s nuclear watchdog chief stated that attacking Iran could force him to resign:

The right-wing is getting away with murder, figuratively speaking, and if some nut-case takes Michael Reagan at his word, it will be literal rather than figurative; We are supposed to be a nation of laws, and to allow right-wing radio hosts, Michael Reagan to be exact, to call for the murders of “911 Truthers” is unconscionable and against our laws. Michael Reagan has a nationally syndicated Radio Show that airs on Radio America, and for them, purveying hate and deceit is their mainstay to keep up their ratings and satisfy the right-wing nut-cases that masquerade as “Patriots” and for the most part, are avid Bush and Cheney supporters. I was reading BuzzFlash’s “Media Putz” of the week, and in my opinion, Regans’s statements transcend the normal hate and vitriol that Radio America spews, and in the case at hand, I believe it was a crime, and like all crimes, should be vigorously prosecuted in the US Court System and labeled as what it is, inciting murder under the guise of being a “shock-jock.” This is what he had to say, and it’s the audience that should make the judgment call, but in this case, I believe that it’s not even worth the debate; Michael Regan committed a crime, and for that, he should face the music. Anything less is a stark reminder that under the Bush administration, “anything goes” as long as it is aimed at the Liberal/Progressive community:

“We ought to find the people who are doing this, take them out and shoot them. Really. You take them out, they are traitors to this country, and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. You shoot them. You call them traitors, that’s what they are, and you shoot them dead. I’ll pay for the bullets. How about you take Mark Dice out and put him in the middle of a firing range. Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice.”
Then a YouTube posting of a Michael Reagan broadcast from a couple of years back finally got noticed for what it was: genocidal threats against Muslim babies and mothers, because some Middle Eastern mother named her child “Hezbollah.”

I feel extremely fortunate and honored that I’m going be interviewed by BBS Radio this Saturday evening. It’s going to be on the “Don and Wynn Show” and will be at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, and 9:00 PM Eastern. BBS Radio has 117 Radio Hosts and is fighting with us to help restore our constitution and the rule of law, so I’m looking forward to speaking with people that are carrying the fight to the airwaves in earnest for our cause - one that should be joined by all Americans who have a true belief in our democratic principles, the constitution and rule of law.

Go to http://bbsradio.com/ , scroll down, and you’ll see the advertisement for the upcoming show. I’ve only been on the radio once, so I’m buying a pair of chocolate shoes in case I wind-up putting both feet in my mouth, but I have to give it a try, and hopefully, will be able to help spread the word for impeachment and a host of other issues we are all fighting for.

If you can’t listen-in, it will also be on an MP3, and it if turns-out well, I’ll post that link too… (Just joking; the link to the MP3 of the show will be posted just as soon as it appears on BBS Radio.)

Best Regards,

In classic Bush rhetoric, the President once again proved that he has the audacity to blame what he and his administration of thieves and con artists have wrought against the people of the United States as Bush and Darth Cheney use a complicit Democratic Congress to rape and plunder our economy as if it was their own, destroying the future of our children and grandchildren! The MSM, like Congress, also allows these blatant lies to go unchallenged, and it’s a sad day for America when the “Liar in Chief” can blame everyone but himself for being unable to understand or resolve the shambles he has made out of the US economy. I believe that Bush knows he is universally hated by most of America and is essentially ignored in the global community, and like a petulant child that takes his ball and bat home when things don’t go his way, be seems bound and determined to punish the entire country for his own inadequacies - which are too numerous to list in an article this small. If no one “likes Him” then he will do anything and everything to destroy our democracy, our freedoms and liberty, and worst of all, the economy itself as he allows corporate America to bleed Americans dry!

Bush to Congress: Embrace energy exploration now

WASHINGTON - With gasoline topping $4 a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the United States needs to increase its energy production. Democrats quickly rejected the idea.

We know that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has stated “The worst may be over”, and he may be right, but with floods disrupting the Mid-West and crops being lost on a massive scale, his predictions seem to be optimistic at best, and downright deceptive at worst! The United States wheat stocks are at an all time low, and now the US is being criticized for donating less wheat than usual, however, Americans need to eat too - and while we need to assist other countries that are suffering from famine and high food prices, we cannot allow ourselves to wind-up with a shortage that could easily become a national security issue! The recent flooding, which is massive, is adding to an already dire forecast of this year’s harvest, and Chuck Hagel’s remarks to Congress bear-out the possibility that food prices in the US, in conjunction to gas prices that are adding to the misery of millions of Americans could easily get much worse in the coming months:

In Georgia, towns, townships, and municipalities can set their own fees for speeding tickets, and it doesn’t have to be fair, and in fact, a simple speeding ticket could be more than your monthly mortgage!

I love Georgia, the people, and the climate - but I don’t like the idea that some towns gouge people to the point of causing them financial ruin especially in times when it’s a struggle to find enough gas money to get to work and keep food on the table. The question arises as to what is fair, and what is exorbitant, and even more importantly, when will the people of Georgia or their Legislature step-up and say “no more” to speed-traps and towns that apply ridiculous fines for a driving infraction that is exactly 250% higher than adjoining Gwinnett County!
