and Bergen Grassroots DFA is on the money.

"The members of Bergen Grassroots (DFA) wish to express our profound gratitude to you for your steadfast commitment to the fight for our constitutional rights and liberties. Your stand against the FISA Amendments Act—in the face of a disgraceful bipartisan clamor by elected representatives to prove themselves more "patriotic" than the President—demonstrates that you feel the pulse of your constituents and are determined to support that view with your votes. Obviously, the Senate chose election-year politics over our Constitution. We're proud that you lost with us.

"Bergen Grassroots pledges to support your future efforts to correct in the next Congress this dreadful step backward."

echo that sentiment to all with the steadfast commitment to fight for America.

Thanks Paul.

Once again, I request that "front page" posts be generecized for those of us who don't live in a local area.  I'm not saying don't write about what you're doing locally, but add some content to make it of use to a national or even international audience.  For example, this post could have been tweaked to call for, and provide informatrion for, others to write letters supporting their local congresscritters (if they opposed FISA) or in opposition to (if they voted for the bill).

Off topic responses are welcomed.

Partially on topic:

I won't hurl slurs at bloggers .  Politicians are fair game.

Oh Denise, lovie, I'm in Argentina using a PC (I have a MAC) that doesn't work right  and the owner knows it.  But then again, I'm stupid.  I keep forgetting that.  You can continue to call me whatever you fancy...I will not do so to you...

Pat, I guess signing on to FISA is part of those "trivialites" you refer to ... the ones that Huron and I keep presenting to you folks.  It's just one triviality after another....

Take care now.  I might start shrieking in earnest.  LOL

One of my senators, Wyden, voted against FISA.  Smith, who's advertising himself as being able to reach across the aisle, voted for this horror.

I'll be working to get rid of this man when I return.

Next week there'll be a huge anti-gov't rally not far from where I'm staying this time.  People are expecting the worst....this city is angry and you can see the angst in the faces.  the price of tango shoes has more than doubled in less than a year.

Then there's this side...I was walking down Corrientes (a main thoroughfare) and sitting in a  doorway, no hat for money, was a young bald man wearing a red clown nose.  People walked by without even seeing him.  I saw him and burst out laughing and he honked his nose at me.

This city is full of stuff like that...it can be pretty intense or very amusing.

Off to bathe, rest, do yoga, mediate and get ready for dancing.  It's been incredible this time.

Howard Hansen wrote a piece for orchestra and chorus called Song of Democracy.  The text was based on the writing of what famous American poet?

Outgoing President George W. Bush and both of his presumptive replacements John McCain and Barack Obama are rumored to be in attendance at this year’s Bohemian Grove gathering, an annual get-together of the global elite staged inside a sprawling forest encampment which kicks off tonight and runs until July 27.

Bohemian Grove is a 136-year-old all-male encampment complete with restaurants, bars, stages and lodges, which caters to around 2,000 members of the global elite along with Californian hoi polloi on a yearly basis in July. The camp is set within a 2,700 acre secluded forest replete with giant redwood trees.

Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the US District Court in California has ruled that President George W. Bush is a felon. The ruling stems from the case of Al-Harmain Islamic Foundation Inc. v Bush, a case which will now be remembered as making it official that Bush’s program of ‘warrantless spying’ is illegal.

Note: Dr. Doug Rokke is the former Director of the U.S. Army’s Depleted Uranium Project. It was his task to clean up the radioactive battlefields of the Gulf War. Today, this leading opponent of nuclear warfare is vitally concerned that sand contaminated by radioactive munitions exploded in the Middle East has been shipped to Idaho for burial. And more, much more. He asked me to call his warning to public attention.)
