Iraq War Vets Plan Action to “Force the Issue”, Demand Face Time at Final Prez Debate

admin @ October 12, 2008 # One Comment

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y – Members and supporters of Iraqi Vets Against the War (IVAW) are planning to crash the third and final Presidential debate on Oct. 15 at Hofstra University if they are not permitted to address a question to both Sen.John McCain and Sen.Barack Obama.

Debate moderator, Bob Schieffer (CBS), has been sent a letter from event coordinator and IVAW member Matthias Chiroux. “I’m writing you today as a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War to make clear the details of a demonstration we will be leading Oct. 15th at Hofstra University prior to the final presidential debate and what our demands are and will be.”

The demands are simple. Chiroux continues, “We in IVAW demand that two of our members, myself and Kristofer Goldsmith, be permitted entry to the debate and be allowed to ask each candidate one question”

If the requests are not granted, and the IVAW fail to hear from campaign and debate coordinators by 7 pm EDT, IVAW members say that they are “are willing to risk arrest by entering the debate to have their voices heard by the candidates”

Scoop: Cindy Sheehan Reveals Plan for New Political Party, Reflects on Race Against Pelosi

admin @ October 7, 2008 # 2 Comments

Anti War activist and challenger for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional Seat (CD 8, California), Cindy Sheehan has indicated her intention to launch a National political party after the U.S. Election of Nov. 4

Inspired in part by Mark Twain’s involvement in The American Anti Imperialst League (also chaired by Andrew Carnegie and former President Grover Cleveland, fyi) in reaction to the annexation of the Phillippines by the United States in the late 19th Century, Sheehan said that the party will have a progressive platform and that after Nov. 4, “no matter what happens, we need to consolidate the energy against Imperialism and work on building another party movement.”

Ron Paul Rally For The Republic - AP Misses Tally by THOUSANDS…

admin @ September 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet

I’m sitting directly to the left of the AP reporter that filed THIS REPORT. I am pretty certain she can see the same things as I. She can look at MY PHOTOS from this Rally-in-Session if she is vision impaired.

I’m just wondering - how can the AP get it so wrong? I am tempted to look to my right and just ask her to her face. And maybe I should. She doesn’t seem happy to be here - that’s for sure. And I know I’d be happy to work for AP if they offered me a job — even though I already work at at corporate media outlet and know what the score is in these places.

BULLETIN-Impeachment on House Floor Today-July 10

admin @ July 10, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, true to his promise, is reintroducing an Impeachment motion against President Bush today. The media virtually ignored the last Impeachment move by Kucinich - with the exception of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann - who brought on a Constitutional expert who lauded the move.

It won’t be much of a surprise to see Kucinich’s fellow Democrats continue to renege on their 2006 mandate, nor will it be a surprise to see mainstream media ignore it yet again. What will citizens, however, do this time around?
