Judith Miller Agrees to Testify in CIA Leak

Karl Rove, the architect of the Bush administration will lead to its demise.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/30/cia.leak/index.html

My Opinion: I knew from the beginning this situation with the President, Joe Wilson & his wife, Judith Miller and its relation with the Iraq War would bring down the Bush Administration. This Scandal is far more serious than the general public realizes. Why, think about the following:

Karl Rove, approximately the 4th Highest Ranking Official within the White House committed an unethical act by leaking the name of CIA agent in retribution for her husband Joe Wilson telling the truth about reasons for going to War with Iraq, which was in conflict with Bush’s plans. My friends this is the link that will lead to Bush’s Impeachment and this is precisely why the White House has been aggressively attempting to cover it up.

It also strongly believed that V.P. Cheney was directly involved in this situation. Many of you Bush supporters call such ideas lies and conspiracy theory. I call you completely ignorant or denouncing of your citizenship. The facts however will soon be known. And as the White House continues to orchestrate a cover they dig a deeper grave for themselves.

Report on the Anti Iraq War & Anti-Bush Movement

From September 24th -26th, as reported from D.C. Metro Officials more than 100,000 Americans came together in our nation’s capital to voice their dissent. In addition to these citizens descending upon the United State’s Capital there were countless local demonstrations occurring simultaneously. This was a successful Mass Demonstration, a result of a growing Movement. There are 2 distinct contingents in this Movement: the Anti Iraq War Contingent and the Anti Bush/Cheney-Impeachment Contingent. Of course many people involved are working towards both of these goals.

D.C. itself was a mess. Thousands of demonstrators marched on the central streets. The Cops (5-0) were in full force. I remember specifically as I was trying to cross the street walking the wrong way an officer rudely gave me a command to stay on the cross walk. People were asking for directions but this is the only response they got. Literally D.C. was in a Police state. Helicopters flying over head and the 5-0 posted at every other street corner. I however noticed no violence nor disrespect to the City. In addition to the March there were tents set up in I believe an area called the Mall or that vicinity, all in walking distance to the important sites. Camp Casey was also in gear. There was a concert, tents of non-profits, and grass roots organizations. There was also several prominent speakers.

These 2 camps of citizens are coordinating their efforts out of convenience, and a very simple concept ascribing there is Power in Numbers. The distinction can be drawn because both camps are campaigning on goals that will have varying impact upon the President, the Courts and Congress.

Speakers at this Mass Demonstration included but not all Ms. Cindy Sheehan, Rep. Maxine Waters, and Fmr. Attorney General Ramsey Clark. Some of the Lead organizations are United for Peace and Justice, Veterans for Peace, A.N.S.W.E.R./VotetoImpeach.Org, Camp Casey, and many grass roots organizations from every state. For the whole of the Movement we must not also ignore organizations that are pushing different agenda items but have not yet formed a strong Coalition with these groups such as Moveon.Org, Blogs, and PACs. The collective efforts of all these groups is now being reflected within the general public.

Now I must will speak frankly about the Movement because I believe both camps can realistically achieve their goals. However, their methods are unrealistically applicable to doing so. What do I mean? Specifically, in hope that leaders within the Movement will take notice. Let me add that I speak with confidence in regards to organizations

I pose this question? What Tangible things is the Movement doing to push its goals?

Demonstrations in themselves are a waist of resources if they are not accompanied with a barrage of other coordinated strategies. (On a side note I am a Fmr. Chair of the USF Coalition of Progressive Student Organizations which led the Protest for protected Academic freedom so I do have a respect for how demonstrations can serve as one of many tactics but not the sole means for pushing your agenda).

Exhibit #1) One Official National Campaign & Petition circulated by all organizations and activist could have been distributed at this Mass Demonstration on Sept 24th - 26th 2005 collecting over 100,000 verifiable signatures. We now should develop and disseminate a Campaign & Petition adhering to legal standards so that it can be recognizable by and acted upon by the Government. This Central Petition could then be presented to the Supreme Court, the President, and Congress.

Exhibit #2) The Time Line. From personal observation, Progressive Organizations and the Democratic Party are setting Timelines for 2006, and placing greater emphasis on 2008. These plans are setting the Movement up for failure. Push the timelines and focus the present energies of these citizens Now! The People of our country are speaking up Now! We cannot wait until 2006 to gamble on Congressional Races, and 2008 to place our full hand on one Presidential race. Our strategies need to pick up Now! We need to push to End the War Now, to Have Investigations Now, to Stop Legislation Now, to Impeach the President Now! All of these in addition to directing resources towards the elections of 2006 & 2008. We cannot simply focus on Candidates & Election Cycles but also on our issues.

Exhibit #3) The Constitution must be the foundation for our agenda. Dissenting arguments & Ideological insignificancies against the Iraq War and Bush’s Office as President have no merit if they are not in relation to what we believe to be injustices against our Constitution and other laws. Furthermore, Conspiracy Theories and Ideological Views may very well be true, but not credible until they are proven. We must work within the United State’s system of Democracy to change it.

A) Define High Crimes and Misdemeanors according to the Constitution clearly & unbiased. State these definitions along with the Movements accusations in speeches and publications.

B) Define what is meant by War Crimes and Humanitarian violations as applicable to the Constitution, Geneva Conventions, matters of Imprisonment and Due Process, and International Laws. According to the U.S. Constitution the U.S. President can be removed from office in violation of to International Laws, Agreements and possibly Standards of Human Rights.

C) Finally, there is a matter that has not been addressed but I believe could lead to resignations from President Bush to Prime Ministers Tony Blair to Cabinet Secretaries to Military Generals. The United Sates and our closet ally Great Britain are Democracies, specifically the U.S. is a Republic. However boring and insipid it may seem the Chief Executive knowingly not adhering to the principles of Democracy and authorized in his Powers according to that nation’s Constitution is criminal. The Constitution of the United States of America and cornerstone of our society grants the People the Power of Oversight via the Congress. The Constitution grants Congress the power of investigation which approximates the power of Oversight.

Let us discuss the matter of Information provided to the Public, to Congress, the United Nations, and International Organizations specifically in regards to Declaring War and its direct relationship to the Constitutionally Power of Oversight by the People. I am no lawyer so I am incapable of articulating this concept. But simply: the President nor anyone in the Government has any Right, Constitutional Power, nor Authority to “fix”, alter or manipulate such information in any form specifically in relation to Declaring War. In my opinion this would not only be defined as an greater act than a “High Crime & Misdemeanors” as required by the Constitution for Impeachment but synonymous to Treason. By American Law, Treason is a capital offense. Am I wrong? Such an act I assert has been committed by President G.W. Bush has and is causing unjustified American deaths? This duty in providing unadulterated information specifically in the matter of War is, and I cannot say any more strongly, a sacred duty placed at the responsibility of our President , Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Movement needs bright lawyers with clear unbiased, non-partisan minds to explore this Constitutional Power of Oversight belonging only to the People via Congress. This Power of Oversight must also be evaluated as it relates to Government Officials, Agencies & Offices providing information and in light of Hurricane Katrina services to the Public. The duty of the President and Congress, if any and if so the appropriate punishment for this derelict and/or abuse of these offices of Public Service.

There are also other issues that have been effectively mucked up by the White House. They include but are not limited too Information providing to the Public and too Congress in relation to this Constitution Power of Oversight, clear unethical & immoral correlations between Dick Cheney his role as Vice President, his former position as Secretary of Defense, his relationships with the Oil Industry, and how this literally ties into the company of Halliburton. President Bush’s role as President as it relates to the Oil Industry and his knowledge of unethical acts involving his Vice President.

What I believe is urgent and must be done, pushed aggressively by the Movement and agreeing citizens are a Series of Independent Non-Partisan Investigations to answer these questions. I speak respectively to my Republicans and Conservative friends, you call many assertions stated in this letter as lies or conspiracy theory. If you are truly honorable to the flag of our great nation you cannot object and I pray you will join us in demanding for such Investigations. Influenced by no Political Party, but only guided by American Standards of Justice.

The White House and Congress are fully aware it is their interest to prevent Independent Investigation (s). But I ask you, is this in the interest of you and your family?

Mike Brown Plays the Blame Game

After comments and the incompetent lack of action in the Katrina aftermath by Former FEMA Director Michael Brown I am convinced not only that he but possibly Secretary Chertoff and President Bush need to be Fired.

In addition, President Bush has proposed literally nullifying the role of FEMA in national disasters and putting the Dept. of Defense & the Military in charge. I personally disagree with this approach. Civilian Organizations need to coordinate relief efforts, and the military should assist at their request. Civilians should always be directly in charge especially in matters of dealing with the protection of our Homeland. Why, because Government Agencies have direct involvement from the Public and can be more easily held accountable. The Military does not have to operate under such standards.

Please feel free to discuss this issue on Checks & Balances.

You Decide and Tell the Government How you feel.

Impeachment March Geared to Be a Success!

Impeachment & Anti-War March Geared to Be a Success!

My Friends it is not too late for you to join this movement. If you have not already decided to attend, I strongly urge you and your family to do something patriotic, bold & spontaneous! If you cannot attend please make a contribution to this grass roots Movement. Attend the Impeachment and Anti-War March in our nation’s capital on September 24th, 2005 –Noon on Pennsylvania Ave. across from the White House.

"Dear Anthony,

It is nearly impossible to keep up with the surge of support and participation in the September 24 anti-war demonstration and the massive ImpeachBush contingent that will be assembling at 11:00 am at the White House’s Ellipse.

We will be joining Ramsey Clark, Cindy Sheehan, Actor Jessica Lange, Congresswomen Cynthia McKinney and Maxine Waters, British parliamentarian George Galloway, survivors of Hurricane Katrina and more than 100,000 others in the most vivid repudiation of George Bush’s criminal war.

Impeachment volunteers will start gathering at 10:00am at a large tent, adorned with beautiful ImpeachBush.org banners, on the grounds of the Ellipse (south side of the White House.)
We are excited to announce that Ramsey Clark will join us at the ImpeachBush.org volunteers' tent on the Ellipse prior to the start of the 11:30 am rally. Ramsey Clark has been spearheading this movement.

We need hundreds of volunteers to come to the ImpeachBush.org tent so that people can pick up leaflets and other impeachment materials to be distributed during the course of the day. If you think you can join us as a volunteer, please come to the tent when you arrive at the Ellipse in the morning.
It is extremely heartening that so many people have supported this campaign. So many volunteers have taken time to make this movement grow.

The calendar in the weeks ahead is full and we ask everyone to participate in some way. The impeachment movement can’t do it without you:

Three Initiatives for the Impeachment Movement

September 24: Mobilize a massive contingent for the National March on Washington DC. This is a demonstration initiated by the peace movement and it is shaping up to be the largest demonstration since the beginning of the Iraq war. We will make the demand "Impeach Bush" highly visible throughout the day. The ImpeachBush movement will be assembling at the south side of the White House (an area called the Ellipse at 11:00 am). You can pick up ImpeachBush banners, placards, signs, literature, hats, and petitions. We need volunteers to help us dispatch people and materials starting in the early morning of September 24. If you can help out please send an email letting us know your availability to be an ImpeachBush.org volunteer.


September 26: Flood Congress with emails calling for Impeachment. ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org is setting up an easy to use mechanism so that hundreds of thousands of emails can be sent by people all over the country on Monday September 26 demanding that their elected official introduce Articles of Impeachment for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other high officials.

Take out full page newspaper ads. We have placed full page newspaper ads in the New York Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle and in newspapers in other parts of the country.

We are soliciting funds now so that the next round of newspaper ads can follow directly after the September 24 mass demonstrations and the September 26 National Lobbying Day."

Another Diversion to the Moon

What’s the purpose, the value, and the benefit of gong to the Moon especially since we as a People have yet to find an appreciation for the value of our own Planet and the need to preserve its natural resources.


I have observed the words rolling of the lips of G. W. Bush are entirely contradictory to his actions and his intentions. I have also observed that when things are going wrong with the Bush Administration that NASA promotes some plan to go to the Moon or Mars, even though they barely can maintain the Shuttle Fleet. Such things are orchestrated to divert the attention of the Public from President Bush‘s blunders..

The goal for going back to the Moon has been set on 2020 at a cost of $104 Billion dollars. America has falling behind dramatically. Have these Republicans moved us Scientifically and Intellectual backwards? Well Hell! That’s precisely what it looks like. We have set future goals that were already achieve 30 years ago. We are using technology from 1969. Why have we not maintained at the least this level of capability? NASA is suppose to be American apex of Intellectualism, our brightest and our best but their efforts are being surpassed by Chinese Communist and Russian Practicalities. They cannot maintain the Shuttle Fleet nor build a more efficient Space Shuttle. The President has set no goals for advancing Space Technology, but he has simply set this goal for the purpose of distracting the Public’s attention from his blunders. Do you realize the date set of 2020, Bush will no longer be in Office.

Corruption and out right greed has staggered intellectual growth and hell our prized American ambition which once made us the #1, Numero uno, the very best in the World. What happened to the idea of reaching your goals with what u had to do it with? Why can't we go to the Moon in 2yrs at a cost of $1Billion. These timelines and these cost are fake. The proposed new Rocket is a technological set back and a rushed idea.

Visualize this the Space Program which began with these type of Rockets (now proposed to take us into the next generation of space exploration), then we progressed into the Shuttles which are now obsolete. The next logical stage would be a safer more efficient Shuttle which also provides options for America in responding to unexpected astronomical events.

I'm appalled with the Political & Private Business Leadership of America. They all need to be put in prison, some lined up and shot. The line of fair profits, progress, and the Good of the Nation have been erased.

Why don't we simply contract China & India to do this job for us? They can build a better car with less resources, at a fraction of the cost the United States does. They can and are doing the same with the Space Program. When these Nation’s out perform us our Republican Government leaders idiotically complain they are artificially lowering prices below the cost of production. How can a profit be made and how can any industry survive by doing this? My God, are these people in charge stupid or do they think the American people are? Seriously people. Our current leaders are incompetent, which is defined as “not able to perform a particular task, showing lack of skill, blunderer, and unqualified.”

Why is no one who holds the power speaking up for what is right? Why does it appear that President Bush is oblivious to responding and acting to holt the negative direction our nation is headed? The direction America is headed is not good. Positive changes can be made, with the right Americans at the helm. We need to get some damn Democrats or Greens in office. Some folk with integrity, who care, who lead with common sense, and who give a damn about all Americans.

Politics Driven by Faith

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb 11:1

As I write, you and I are participants within an ideological struggle within a nation with a proud Christian heritage. The United States of America, a great nation that at its birth was founded upon a belief in religious freedom. Where Democracy is understood by children, and where its citizens posses a bloodline that fought for their freedom and worked for their prosperity. The legal precedent of Separation of Church and State is being challenged, surprisingly by the Religious Right. So the question is; Can American Politics be driven by the Christian Faith? How crucial is this struggle? It is a struggle for the very Soul of America.

Now in the 21st Century there is a ‘Conservative’ ideology that is inconsistent and contradictory with the teachings of the Faith is proclaims to embrace, the Christian Faith. Today there is a struggle between a ‘Conservative’ ideology seeking to restrict the freedoms exposed in the United States’ founding so how can they truly be Conservative? Since now live in fast passed times people seem to lack the desire to logically think for themselves I will help you to answer this question. Those that are truly Conservative would not be seeking measures like those taken by G.W. Bush and Neo-Conservatives which are ripping apart economic prosperity across all socio-economic classes. True Conservative ideology would call for politics based on faith which leads to ethical, humanitarian, compassionate policy making. Frankly, real Christian Politics would be wonderful for the United States. What we have now in 2005 is not Christian Politics. What we have is lip service; Politicians and even Religious Leaders saying one thing and doing another. And Reverends advocating stances that surely bring sadness to God. From the Reverends to the Senators to the President, I will call them liars directly to their face if I had the opportunity. This false Conservative ideology seeks to politically, structurally, and legally impose their beliefs onto folk that don’t want them.

Now in the 21st Century there is a struggle with a Liberal ideology seeking to create a nation void for respect of traditional American values. Whom seek to outright ignore the Religious roots of the United States. Liberals who seek to impose their solutions to every problem based on freewill, science, progress, and equality but with no sound moral parameters.

So how crucial is this struggle to you, your life, and that of your family? We now find ourselves in an ideological struggle for the very Soul of America. Both camps; the Conservatives and Liberals however fail to see they both seek different paths but to the same end. And it is driven by a genuine patriotism for our great nation, the United States of America. Unfortunately, this division caused by this struggle is not worth the cost. I only pray the these camps swiftly compromise or that moderates will cease to be apathetic and shut up the mouths of these self serving minority interest. For in reality, these Moderates & Independents are the majority.

The Civil War, the World Wars, the Civil Rights Movement. Would all these defining events have been made in vain and nullified by the careless turning back of the clock in the presence of an apathetic zombie like citizenry by Corrupt ‘Conservatives‘. How crucial is this struggle you ask? You are an American citizen. Permitting those that hold the power to continue to lead in filth & corruption makes our citizenship no greater than the most poor and corrupt Third World Nation. We have never believed this, for to be an American is to be greater. We live by a higher standard where ethics, service, truth, honesty, and progress define the perimeters of our achievements. I will not beat around the bush. Elected Officials like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have taken us astray to such a point that politicians of this like should unquestionably be removed from office. For they come in the name of God but spit on his people and his good book.
There are several recent issues that have brought Liberals, Conservatives and some Christians to a stark face off. Intelligent Design (ID), Right to Life issues like Terri Schiavo and Abortion, the role of Judges and the Supreme Court, Marriage, and the Iraq War. I will discuss each one of these issues as I believe the Christian Faith guides us to approach them.

Intelligent Design (ID): Theodosius Dobzhansky said “Nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution. (The New Republic pg. 25).” The word of God says” man cannot live by bread alone.” This verse calls for a man to also live by Faith. One would then induce neither can man live by Faith alone. Therefore in following the word of God man is empowered to utilize science and not blindly inject Faith which governs spirituality not Geology, Mathematics, Physics nor Biology. The Bible says that man was created in God’s image, cognitive and intelligent unlike a pig. We are not to blindly follow erroneous interpretations of the Bible and decrees from Religious Institutions. The Christian Faith as followed strictly permits for the co-existence of Religion and Science.

According to ID there is only one logical argument against Evolution. There is a lack of a complete fossilage of transitional species. For example; a fossil of the missing link between ape & man. An Ape Man to be precise. I do know that an Orangutan is about 1% genetically different from a man, but I am no Biologist so I’ll leave it at that as I finish eating this banana.
Personally I believe in both Creationism and Evolution. I believe that God created man and all life through the process of Evolution and set the Earth on a continuing path of Biological, Intellectual, and Spiritual Evolution. Who are we to even attempt to conceptualize how God works? According to the Bible’s Book of Genesis God was there in beginning and will be there in the end (Alpha & Omega).

ID even accepts “microevolution”, which automatically tells me that “Christians” advocating Intelligent Design may be fully aware they are wrong but still seek to force their basely ‘science’ in the minds our nation’s youth.

The Right to Life: is a political tool seeking to circumvent the Right to Privacy, and the Right to Choose. What someone believes because they are Christian does not mean this is right nor should be impose don others. If the shoe were turned how would Jehovah Witnesses like to be legally forced to have blood transplants although it against their religious beliefs. Furthermore these Right to Lifers let countless people die from medical complications and illness because they cannot afford the cost of treatment. And in the recent crises of Hurricane Katrina these same Right to Lifers let thousands of poor, sick, and elderly die. In the matter of Terri Schiavo the Bible places the power of decision in her husband’s hands. No one especially the Government had a place in this matter. This was simply a matter of Family.

The Courts: we must not but aside the benefit of a Separation of Church & state. The benefits to both Christians and Liberals is enormous. Living in a Democracy we do not know who will be in power and those currently holding the power must not change the rules unethically to simply benefit their self interest. Yes, Christians today attempting to fill the courts with ideologues are corrupt. Their actions are carelessly creating the same type of unjust Courts that crucified Jesus Christ. Conservatives whine about activist Judges but that is exactly what they are doing, filling the Courts with Conservative Activist Judges.

Same Sex Marriage: the Church can & cannot condone whatever partnership it pleases but what justification does the government have in interfering with this most intimate of personal freedoms? The Church should be putting far more attention into promoting the strength of and maintaining heterosexual relationship. It should be devoting resources for strengthen families not opposing partnerships between persons that want the same as you & me. If you believe they seek a different American Dream then you are mistaken. The Church nor the Government has no place beyond the Powers given in the Constitution. The Bible that I read was once used to keep Americans enslaved. The Bible I read was once used to oppress women. And now the Bible I read is being used to deny American citizens their right to marry whom every they please. However I have read differently in all these cases. Simply fabrications and blasphemous conscience misinterpretations from folk who unfortunately would not make it through the Pearly Gates of Heaven.

The Iraq War: I’m sure you have heard the arguments against this War, and why our troops are not brought home this minute baffles me. George W. Bush speaks of an Ownership Society. In the End, the only thing we truly own is our Soul. The death of these soldiers and civilians is on his hands, he will be accountable.

Now let me say that we must make some sharp as a razor blade distinctions between Conservatives, Christians, and Neo-Cons. Conservatives and Neo-Cons are ideological sets of people. Christians are above these simple classifications, and never should the Christian Body or even a little back woods church give its allegiance to any politician. The Bible says we are “royal priesthood”. Far above corrupt, lying, self serving, self righteous politicians; associating ourselves with them will lead to nothing but perdition. Please do not assume that Christians are Conservatives, and Christians don’t assume the Republican Party should always have your vote.
Environmental Conservative: Please imagine where man was placed on this Earth in his creation. In the Garden of Eden where he was called to its care. We failed then, and we continue to fail today. Man was placed here to care for the Earth not to destroy it through pollution & greenhouse gases. Many hold this belief today, because of a false interpretation of the Bible foretelling Earth’s destruction. Therefore giving us no obligation to Environmental Conservative.
As a Christian I must say that Conservatives have blatantly abused and taking advantage of the devotion Christians have given to them. Let me go on a tangent for a moment and speak on specific politicians whom have outright deceived Churches. The precise term for these guys, as my grandma would call ‘em is “Blue Eyed Devils”: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Dennis Hastert, Karl Rove , Paul Wolfowitz, and Donald Rumsfeld.

Tom Delay spoke directly to Churches via TV broadcast during Justice Sunday Events. He’s fundraising organizations have recently been indicted for ethics violations. These are the Texas courts not some Liberal organization bringing these charges. Point blank he is unethical.

Bill Frist also spoke directly to Churches via TV broadcast during Justice Sunday Events. During the Terri Schiavo Situation he attempted to diagnose this woman without even seeing her in person. He pushed for the Federal Government’s involvement. He Exposed a Right to Life but recently has changed his stance in support of Stem Cell Research. Point black he is a flip flopping, poll following liar. Qualities I don’t believe the highest ranking Senator should possess.

As I continue this discussion please entertain this idea, one of several personal political philosophies I hold. The Republican & Democratic Parties are pushing their wedge issues because these political parties cannot survive unless the American People are ideologically divided. But who says this is how it has to be? Certainly not the founders of our nation whom did not recognize political parties within the Constitution . I strongly believe this even though I am a devout Christian, belonging to the most Biblically Conservative Protestant faith.

“During the 80 years since the Scopes trial, creationism has undergone its own evolution. The Christian right now promotes “intelligent design” as a supposedly scientific rebuff to Charles Darwin, and George W. Bush has said it should be taught in public schools. But an examination of the movement’s most influential text reveals it to be a shoddy mishmash of omissions and misrepresentations - a blatant attempt to proselytize America’s children, not educate them. Its time to recognize intelligent design for what it really is: a clever euphemism for biblical creationism. (The New Republic- pg. 21)”

The person occupying the Office of President of the U.S., George W. Bush has said he wants creationism to be taught in Public Schools, or more specifically he said “intelligent design”.
The entire Christian faith is based on the Doctrine of Choice. We cannot and we must not impose our Faith on those that do not want it. We cannot have non-believers teaching our faith in Public Schools. It is this simple. Frankly, I cannot fathom why a true Christian that wants our religion to survive would ever advocate it being taught in Public Schools. This is the work of the Church not the Government, and they should never be mixed.

Point blank, my argument in this paper is that the driving force behind these issues is not Faith but Politics and politicians disguised as persons of faith. Embracing my Faith, and as a simple citizen these stances taking by the Right and so called “Conservatives” is not what Jesus Christ would want or do.

Breaking News: Bush Takes Responsibility for Katrina Response

Bush Takes Responsibility for Federal Govt. Response to Hurricane Katrina:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/13/katrina.impact/index.html


My Opinion: Finally Bush shows a shimmer of what it means to be a Man and our President. He takes Responsibility for Federal Government’s response to Katrina. There are many more issues he has failed at and has not address but at least we know G.W. Bush may not have a brain, he does have a heart. Now, after losing the confidence of the American people, what will he do?

My opinion: After Republicans have been making head way within the Black Community this terrible response from Katrina may very well push the black community deeper in support of the Democratic Party. How will the Republicans step up after this obvious neglect within major poor & black communities within the South? Will they take up causes to promote Economic Development within these communities benefiting the African Americans that live there or will they continue to disregard these folk as disposable? One thing I do know, with the current Republican agenda the masses of the Poor are increasing. The Party that serves these American citizens will gain their support and their vote.

Has the Government Failed the U.S. People?

Mike Brown Resigns as Director of FEMA!!!

"Bush puts people in jobs who don't know what they're doing," said Shirley Carignan, a retiree and a political independent from Weymouth, Massachusetts. "I think he's picking friends for these jobs. My girlfriend raises Arabians. You know horses, so what? Horses and people are different things."

The Government on all levels; Republican & Democrat both simply failed those effected by Hurricane Katrina. Why, it is very clear. No significant degree of aid arrived until 5 days after the storm had passed. As a resident of Sarasota, Florida having been through many hurricanes I know if this was my affluent community we would have had aid at the latest a few hours after the storm had passed.

Simply the majority of these people are poor and minority and therefore this elitist arrogant Republican government neglected them.

My Opinion: The Clinton's are truly great public servants. Fmr. President G. H. Bush Sr. also agrees with the Clinton’s sentiments.

Recent comments by Fmr. 1st Lady Barbara Bush are indicative of the path our Republican leadership has placed the United States on. Leading up to a country divided not just by Race but by Money & Class. Their policies are leaving the U.S. open to the same mistakes committed by early France, Russia, Germany, and Great Britain. These countries once had aristocracies which were overthrown. What is the American aristocracy? Corporations and Elites like the Bush Family. They are advocating a society of elites whom hold the power. The working class whom are regarded as disposable and 2nd class (Example: You, Me and our Soldiers). And the poor whom have no rights, no services and are seen as lesser than citizens.

I have created this website to call out these wrongs I see in our nation and because I believe the American Dream should Always be attainable by Everyone.

If there ever was a time for you to be involved in your Government, it is Now!

New Corporate Paradigm

Have we come to a point in the Corporate Paradigm of our nation that we cannot agree on basic business practices.

An agreement is an agreement. A Deal is a Deal. How can you justify an executive making 6 figures in a company off the back of workers and at the same time is cutting employees and benefits? There are societies that believe that if you cheat someone out of money they are justified to kill you. I wish the same applied within business laws & ethics in America. Corporations are recently now legally being permitted to renege on their agreements resulting in the destruction of families & communities.

Let this executive get out there and do the dirty work. These Executives especially should not be getting a higher pay when the worker’s pensions are being cut. Let me tell you something my friends; when the jobs of Pilots, one of the most respected occupations in the U.S., are not protected then believe me yours will be next.

Many will call this perspective and line of thought as conspiracy theory. This is the same thing that is being said about the Oil Industry, where Progressives have been protesting against for years. It's no longer a “Conspiracy Theory”, the price of gas is now $5.00 a gallon in Atlanta and after Hurricane Katrina FL. Gov. Jeb Bush has asked Texas for a 2 weeks supply of oil. I have been told that Oil Companies have a higher profit margin than any other industry. This means their price to the consumer is excessively higher (exorbitant) than it cost them to produce the final product of gasoline. The Insurance Industry is in the business of Insurance but do their best to not honor claims and raise premiums after every disaster. Health Care is in the business of saving lives but the average citizens and poor can’t afford it. American Auto makers sell cars for twice as much as foreign car makers, American cars which are of lesser quality. I for one have had enough of Corporations draining society for more than its worth. Why more than its worth? Because I’d guess that 75% of us are paying off loans.

I hope that at least now that your pocket book and guaranteed benefits is being affected by this new Corporate Paradigm that you will at least open your mind to the fact that it is not Economic & Market Influences at play here, but wealthy individuals that own corporations that could care less about the worker and the good of the nation.

In regards to Union workers that don't do work. Speak for those you have worked with but most Americans unionized or not are hard workers and are not paid enough.

America’s power is derived from our hard work, hard working individuals, and entrepreneurship. I know this is the right way because it is Anti Trust, Monopoly, and Anti Collusion Laws that seek to keep Corporations & Big Business in check. Have we forgotten this? With the rise of power of corporations this idea of taking care of your workers is being lost, and so will be the economic foundation it has taking decades for our people to build.

Trusting in Economic & Market Forces and also the Democratic Process, America is in store for an abrupt Economic & Political realignment.
