Wednesday, February 26th, 2003 · Comments Off on CNN Story on Virtual March

Here’s the CNN story about today’s Virtual March: CNN.com – Activists hold ‘virtual march’ on Washington – Feb. 26, 2003 And here’s a powerful quote from Feinstein (I tried to call her, but was only able to get through to Tom Lantos): “I’ve learned when they get up over 30,000 to 40,000 from California, then […]

Rep. Tom Lantos

The only representative whose switchboard was not busy was that of The Honorable Tom Lantos: Information on Representative Tom Lantos of California After some initial stumbling of my words just now, I managed to express my disapproval of a move toward war against Iraq. I urge you (much more eloquently in text than I did […]

Democracy in Action

Wednesday, February 26th, 2003 · Comments Off on Democracy in Action

As I mentioned on Monday, today is the Virtual March on Washington. And it appears to be a huge success: There are so many people calling that many others, including me, cannot even get through to my senators. This real-time “antiwar room” is very cool: MoveOn: Demoacracy in Action

“Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 · Comments Off on “Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”

In his latest dimwitted comments, Bush said: First of all, you know, size of protests — it’s like deciding, `Well, I’m going to decide policy based upon a focus group.’ The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon, in this case, the security of the people. Translation: I don’t give a shit […]
