Mon Aug 15, 2005Camp Casey Attacked The hate campaign conducted by the War Party against Cindy Sheehan has finally culminated in an attack on "Camp Casey," the site of a growing protest against the Iraq war in Crawford, Texas, according to this report. Apparently, a man in a pick-up truck barreled into Camp Casey, and, wielding a chain, knocked down 150 road-side crosses representing the Iraq war dead. The truck then suffered a blown-out tire, and law enforcement, we hear, have the man in custody. Sheehan has alerted her supporters that the Secret Service is pressuring her to leave Crawford. According to this report, Thursday morning the residents of Camp Casey were jolted ...

Our Crawford Visit
Bill and I drove to Crawford to meet Cindy Sheehan this afternoon and to lend support to the crowd. When we arrived at the Crawford Peace House, there was a buffet luncheon of sumptuous Arab food which had been prepared for all by members of a group named 'Iraqis for Peace' (Iraqis who are American citizens) to honor Cindy and the veterans and their families who were there. I would guess there were 300 or so people in attendence. Cindy had been at Camp Casey, near the bush ranch, and arrived at the Peace House about 10 minutes after we arrived. She spoke for about 20 minutes. She said that she had been getting notes and calls of support from people from all over the ...

Bush Drives By as Slain Soldier's Mother Waits

President Bush got his first look yesterday at the anti-war protest growing outside his Texas ranch when, on his way to a fund-raiser, he drove by the vigil staged by a slain soldier's mother. As Bush went to party with fat cats who gave $2 million to the GOP, his motorcade didn't slow as it went by Cindy Sheehan and her sign: "Why do you make time for donors and not for me?" "I'm glad that we were there because he rarely gets to see the faces of people who don't agree with him 100%," Sheehan said. The President's black Chevrolet SUV has tinted windows, so it was not clear if he looked at her, or the growing ranks of demonstrators, or the hundreds of plain white ...

Mother's Protest at Bush's Doorstep Raises the Stakes

Crawford, Texas - For more than a year, a modest bungalow known as "Peace House," located a few miles from President Bush's ranch, has served as a headquarters for antiwar activists. It is lonely work, with little more than a skeleton crew on hand much of the time. But then Cindy Sheehan hit town. The 48-year-old mother of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in an ambush in Baghdad last year, is consumed by the kind of grief that turns into a furious determination to do something - in her case, to confront the president and force him to explain why her son died. Now, in the space of just a few days, what started out as a seemingly quixotic personal mission has become ...

Folks are still arriving, and many are calling to say they are on the way. Tomorrow is going to be huge! The conditions are horrid. The site is extremely cramped, to say the least. All the tents, cars, chairs, tables, etc, are in a shallow ditch lining the road. Lots of volunteers are coming forward to organize, cook, monitor, etc. It's a spontaneous community that is beautiful to see and experience. I'm so glad I came. * outragemeter's diary :: :: * There is a press conference set for 11 am local time. ...

LYNN -- A bluntly worded sign posted on the Nahant Street home of a local lawyer criticizing Israeli expansionism, is upsetting some Diamond District residents. Martin J. McNulty, familiar to longtime Lynn residents for his multiple runs for mayor and congress, is drawing the ire of some members of Lynn's Jewish community because of a large, hand-lettered sign affixed to the front of his 84 Nahant St. home, reading "Land Grabbing Israel is Bleeding America." McNulty confirmed hanging the sign - and said he intends to leave it in place until members of the community have had a chance to see it - as a medium for expressing his opinion over perceived impacts on American and ...

Action Alert: CAFTA vote count July 21, 2005 "With just two weeks to go until the August recess, Republican House leaders are possibly facing do-or-die time for the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). The Republican whip operation is running at full throttle, making deals on China policy and textile production at a fast clip in the hopes of wooing just enough members off the fence to pass the pivotal trade pact." (The Hill newspaper, July 20, 2005) Yes, time is running out. Closed-door deals are being made. Arms are being twisted. Pressure builds as not-so-subtle taxpayer-funded bribes are offered.

It is with great sadness that I pass on to you the information that my friend Joe Vialls passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last night in Perth Western Australia after a period of illness. His wife Marilyn rang me early this morning to tell me the sad news. I was very surprised as I talked to him only a few days ago and he said he felt a little better. As we all know Joe made a large contribution to Internet Journalism, in an effort to reveal the truth that the media fails to print. The irony is that about 5 years ago I suggested to Joe that he get onto the net. He replied ' what on earth would I do on the Internet'? The rest is history, he got on the net and found his place there. ...

Many of the internet forums that discuss political issues have posters who are prone to criticizing much of the U.S. government’s activities. Similarly, my wife and I are often critical, as we have observed the ongoing and incessant erosion of the peoples’ rights to their liberty and property. A good example of the government tyranny is the recent Supreme Court OPINION which basically said that peoples’ private property can be taken for private use. On the various internet forums, I have seen the question asked, “Other than criticizing the government, what are you doing to affect change?”
I have often been asked this question or a similar question by my friends and family ...

He is able to run for Congress because there is one -- and only one -- Congressional election coming up in Cincinnati. It is a special election on August 2, 2005. To help President ...

Jewish foundation helps U.S. teachers learn how to present the Holocaust to students Six decades later, the Holocaust remains a painful and emotionally draining topic - and a special challenge for middle school and high school teachers who have to instruct students about one of the most horrific episodes in human history. Despite its importance, Holocaust scholarship is still just beginning to work its way into history lessons in much of the country, and teachers volunteering to tackle the subject often find themselves developing courses from scratch, without much formal training. "My own education about the Holocaust was not close to what I am providing today in my ...
