I went door to door for John Hall and yet I have not seen him do anything that might be called progressive. When is Bush going to be impeached?

I supported Barack Obama and more and more he sounds like Bush. What is going on?

Obama's health care proposals will just keep the insurance companies in power.

Will we have a war on poverty? Will we end the war on drugs? How about the war on terror?

He seems to favor war all over the place? What the FUCK? He even wants to increase military spending. That is sick!

This country is worse than pathetic. OBAMA does not seem to be an alternative to Bush. Does anyone disagree?

I would like to go to the June rally but would need a ride. I have to admit that I don't fully agree with the organizers position. The Two state solution is not viable and the Israelis insist that Israel must exist forever as a Jewish State. Problem: What is to be done with the Arabs who used to live their?

The following article has a sensible argument.

For a Secular Democratic State
by SAREE MAKDISI

[from the June 18, 2007 issue]

This month marks the fortieth anniversary of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Four decades of control established and maintained by force of arms--in defiance of international law, countless UN Security Council resolutions and, most recently, the 2004 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice in The Hague--have enabled Israel to impose its will on the occupied territories and, in effect, to remake them in its own image.

I sent this letter to the editor of the Record a few days ago.

Dear Editor,

Our Government is an embarrassment. We illegally and immorally attacked Iraq and further we have fought an occupiers imperialist war for 4 years with a resultant high death count and many Iraqi children suffering from malnutrition and cancers.

The overwhelming majority of Iraqis of every type want us to leave. The majority of American people want us to leave. Yet the Criminal Bushite regime refuses to leave.

I beg the people of this country to rise up and take back our country from this government.

Cheney hints at Iran strike By Greg Sheridan

February 24, 2007 01:20am

US Vice-President Dick Cheney has raised the possibility of military action to stop Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.

He has endorsed Republican senator John McCain's proposition that the only thing worse than a military confrontation with Iran would be a nuclear-armed Iran.

In an exclusive interview with The Weekend Australian, Mr Cheney said: "I would guess that John McCain and I are pretty close to agreement."

The visiting Vice-President said that he had no doubt Iran was striving to enrich uranium to the point where they could make nuclear weapons.

People, members and supporters of PDA, it is now urgent to promote progressive ideas at the electoral level.

I am actively supporting John Hall in the 19th congressional district in the effort to drive out the reactionary Sue Kelly.

But statewide it is very important to back the Green Party and their excellent slate of candidates. No they have no chance of winning but they have a good chance of achieving ballot status. That makes it crucially important to vote for Malachy McCourt for Governor. Ballot status changes the zeitgeist! It is a warning to the corporate Democrats not to take progressive support for granted.

Hopefully we will have a good preformance in New Paltz on the Fifth. Most activity will be from about 2:30 pm till things wind down.

We are expecting Congress Person Hinchy and John Hall to speak amongst others.

There is a necessary fight against fascism as represented by Rummy and other Bushites. Unfortunately the left is divided and ineffective as usual. However, I recently got an email from the World Can't Wait and they are hoping to organize a super political action on October 5th. They are also asking for donations. Hopefully we can really do something to change history. They can be found at the

American media is tame and right wing. Could you imagine this on American MSM?

Something you are never likely to see on American TV: George Galloway.

Hizbullah's attacks stem from Israeli incursions into Lebanon

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14323.htm

By Anders Strindberg

08/01/06 "Christian Science Monitor" -- -- NEW YORK – As pundits and policymakers scramble to explain events in Lebanon, their conclusions are virtually unanimous: Hizbullah created this crisis. Israel is defending itself. The underlying problem is Arab extremism.
Sadly, this is pure analytical nonsense. Hizbullah's capture of two Israeli soldiers on July 12 was a direct result of Israel's silent but unrelenting aggression against Lebanon, which in turn is part of a six-decades long Arab-Israeli conflict.
