Last........is the military industrial complex.....today in Norfolk, VA the USS North Carolina, another nuclear sub was chistened.................an meanwile millions of Americans go without health insurance, teachers are underpaid, health care workers are paid beans, children go hungry or starve in deteriorating cities..........shameful indeed................

2. Howard and Jim Dean are first.

Tara, does volunteers mean DFAers out in the hinterlands, or only in the DFA office in Burlington?

Whoops....got in on the tail end of the last thread.

AMAZING Impeachment events scheduled for Sat., 4/28.

Thank you all for your sweet posts.  I'm still having a difficult time, and I won't be blogging for awhile, but I want you to know how much your caring and support is appreciated.

I'll try to come, Tara!  I'll email Kyle!  :-)

AND!  Be watching because Thankful2Thankful4Dean and I will be stopping by the office for a visit this Tuesday morning!!!

Suzanne Harris {4.}

Thank you!  I am excited that the VT House might take a vote!!

The Senate voted YES on Friday!!!

My own Rep is House Speaker Symington, and I know she is opposed to the idear.   She sure doesn't support Bush & Cheney, but she just feels it isn't likely to happen in DC in good time, so it becomes a waste of resources.  I feel the will of the people needs to be HEARD!

So, we'll see!  Worth watching!  Wish I didn't have to work so I could go see the moment!   The site you posted says it could happen Tuesday or Wednesday at the statehouse in Montpelier!

Hope!  Hope!  Hope!

Well, I seem to have a stiff neck thing going on

so I'm going to rest it awhile with a heating pad. 

 XOXOXXX
 

Just want to add that I hope the impeachment idear passes in the VT House on

WEDNESDAY as that's our Jessica's birthday!!!  :-)

Just sent this message to my town Reps here in Vermont... 

         After hearing that the Senate passed the impeachment resolution yesterday, I am wondering if the House will allow a vote on the resolution?  I would appreciate that.  Even though there may not be time between now and the '08 Election to "make it so," it would nonetheless honour the voices of Vermonters, allowing the people to be heard.  I feel that Vermont could again lead the nation, but especially am I mindful that it could further the  healing process with the world community. 
        I would like to be present to see the vote in the House.  If you think it could happen, I'd be grateful for a head's up ~ if that's even possible.
        As you know, I am very supportive of your efforts this session.  Hang in there, Gaye.  People know a Vermonter's commitment when they see it.  We know.
                              Warmly, 

Okay, really going to go rest this body now!  LOL!

Take the time you need, jc.

Reed, great job!  Gravel looks 60 and is incredibly well spoken.  I like what he said at the end about how the rich aren't sending him  money becuz he's going after them.  He's very impressive.  I like his taxation ideas too.  What a pity good men can't win.  We have to take the money outta  the prez elections.  

Judy, take care of your shiner! 

AAR was saying that 330,000 rich people actually determine who's gonna be prez.   So far I've sent nothing to the candidates and will double that if they don't wise up. LOL

I did send money to Gore!

Putzfollies OUT NOW.

Mogadishu War Escalates, Hundreds Dead
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042107B.shtml
Shells pounded Mogadishu on Saturday, killing at least 73 people to swell a death toll already in the hundreds from this week's battles between militant Islamists and allied Somali and Ethiopian troops. The escalating war has also sent more than 321,000 residents - nearly a third of Mogadishu's total population - fleeing in the biggest refugee movement in Somalia since the 1991 fall of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre ushered in 16 years of anarchy.

Guns and Walls - the newest surge.

US-Built Baghdad Wall Turning Iraqis Into "Caged Animals"
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042107E.shtml
American military commanders in Baghdad are trying a radical new strategy to quell the widening sectarian violence by building a 12-foot-high, three-mile-long wall separating a historic Sunni enclave from Shiite neighborhoods. A doctor in Adhamiya, Abu Hassan, said the wall would transform the residents into caged animals.

from the above article...it sounds like we're creating  another Palestine.  I wonder where putzfollies learned this?  Disgusting!

   
"Many Sunnis across Baghdad complain that the Shiite-led government has choked off basic services to their neighborhoods, allowing trash to pile up in the streets, banks to shut down and health clinics to languish. So the wall raises fears of further isolation."

Right!
But it hard to tell now who was/is a teacher and who was/is a student...., they teach and learn from each other.

The whole Bush&Co. put itself in continues deepening with ever-accelerated speed.

Thanks Sea,
I still think good men and women can win though. We just need to use this tool called the internet more. Public access tv can play a huge role also. Like water finding it's own level, so can truth in America if we get it out there.
I've got more to upload of the interview, the forum and a personal address to bfa about the Iraq war. I called hq and left a message, I emailed them too about what they wanted to do in regards to his response but have heard nothing back. I'll just post it on youtube like the rest of the interview I guess.

{{{{{jc }}}}} Take your time...miss ya.

love at ya jc

Howard Dean is off in Europe again, italy this time.    Two parties appear to be merging there. 

http://www.bakutoday.net/view.php?d=36467

 "Italy's centre-left is hoping to strengthen its tenuous grip on power by re-inventing itself, starting with the consolidation of its two largest parties into a new, reformist Democratic Party. "

And here's the Governor meeting with that group. 

More about it here.

This from Biden

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FRIEDMAN: If you're asking like right today, Wolf, the person I think who has been where I've been from the very beginning, seeing the potential, you know, that this could have for a positive outcome but really, really cautious and worried all the time, that if we weren't doing it right is, Joe Biden.

I think Joe Biden has been on top of this from the very beginning. He was on top of the opportunity. He was on top of what stakes we needed or what we needed to do to get some chance of realizing that opportunity and he's been on top of saying this isn't working.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fat chance of me voting for a guy that sees war as an opportunity

To be fair that was the Biden campaign putting out Tom Friedman interviewed by Wolf Blitzer who saw a the war as an opportunity and thought Biden did too.

Phil,
The more I listen to all of them, the more I like Gravel. That's just me opinion though and you know what opinions are like...lol
How be the knee? Gonna make it thru planting? Screwed up year here, we just went from winter to summer within a week and all me seedlings are not even in the greenhouse yet.

I'm about to puke on that post I just made. D*mn those people are sick.

opening up on a country as an opportunity is sicker than opening up on a room full of kids because you feel aggrieved

sorry linda b

I couldn't help the comparison, now I'm slipping to their level.

I'll go get something to eat and maybe I'll come back in a better mood, that Biden e-mail tripped me off.

GOP Troubles May Hurt Bid To Retake Hill
Two Committee Resignations Put Spotlight Back on Ethics

By Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, April 22, 2007; Page A03

The abrupt resignations last week of two Republican House members from their sensitive committee assignments have thrust lingering legal and ethics issues back into the limelight, potentially complicating GOP efforts to retake Congress next year.

On successive days, Wednesday and Thursday, Reps. John T. Doolittle (Calif.) and Rick Renzi (Ariz.) disclosed FBI raids on their homes and businesses, proclaiming their innocence but exposing their legal jeopardy. The announcements were only the most recent in a series of developments that have kept the focus on old ethical and legal clouds that helped chase the Republican Party from power on Capitol Hill.
