Bill
If this bill is passed, and becomes law, your words and actions could be considered terrorism. Bill S 1959 EVISCERATES FREE SPEECH, and empowers the govt. to declare ANYTHING they deem an "extremist belief system", instantly makes you a terrorist, resulting in stripping of US citizenship, torture, and/or execution, with no habeas corpus rights, no ability to challenge, even in the US Supreme Court.
Contact your Senator and let them know they will be looking for another job if they vote yes on this bill, which is now introduced into the Senate as S.1959 THIS BILL **MUST NOT** BECOME LAW, PERIOD.

House Resolution 333 for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney is off the House floor, and has instead been sent to the Judiciary Committee for "further study." This maneuver, organized by Pelosi and the Democratic leadership, is consistent with their mantra that impeachment is "off the table." But, we are told Nancy Pelosi is reported to have replied to the question of impeachment that if she received 10,000 hand written letters she would proceed with it. What are we waiting for?

Dear Friends
Instead of sending your impeachment letters for Dick Cheney to Nancy Pelosi's office, send them to my office so we can get an official count.
Please send them to:

Please pass this around and have them sent by Friday, November 16th and we will have them delivered to her office in San Francisco before Thanksgiving.
Spread this far and wide so we can take sacks of letters to her.
Don't include anything besides the letter.
Love

Join the U.S. Campaign for Burma and people of good will throughout the world in a boycott of Chevron and Texaco, the biggest financial supporters of the Burmese military regime. Why boycott Chevron (and their Texaco brand too)? What does this have to do with the repression in Burma? Big oil and gas money prop up this corrupt dictatorship. Threaten the money supply, and the regime will cave. When we get millions of people to stop buying gas at Chevron and Texaco stations, big oil money and their friends in the U.S. government will begin pulling strings fast.

"Chevron's Pipeline Is the Burmese Regime's Lifeline" By Amy Goodman, Alternet
The barbarous military regime depends on revenue from the nation's gas reserves and partners such as Chevron, a detail ignored by the Bush administration.

Because water is a human right and not a commodity to be bought and sold for profit;
Because bottled water corporations are changing the very way people think about water and undermining people's confidence in public water systems;
Because up to 40% of bottled water in the U.S. and Canada is sourced from municipal tap water;
Because some bottlers have run over communities' concerns and the environment when they extract water and build bottling plants to get local spring and ground water;
Because bottled water travels many miles from the source, results in the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels, and contributes to the billions of plastic bottles ending up in our landfills;
Because worldwide there is a need for investments in public water systems to ensure equal access to water, a key ingredient for prosperity and health for all people; and
Because solutions to ensuring water as a fundamental human right require people acting together and standing up for public water systems,

I pledge to Think Outside the Bottle, which means:

Any way you look at it, there ís simply not enough variety in our local broadcast spectrum. Radio in Central Ohio is dominated by right wing propagandists and commercial mediocrity. Columbus needs broadcast outlets that provide uncensored news/analysis and grassroots multicultural programming.

We need to raise $5000 to complete the filing requirements: attorney fees, engineer fees and filing fees.

Faith Communities Uniting for Peace calls upon people of faith and conscience in Central Ohio to join in fasting from dawn to dusk on Monday, October 8, to call for an end to the Iraq War. On this day, people of faith in local communities across our nation will act as catalysts to transform the meaning of the day from one of conquest to community and from violence to reverence. Ending this war can become the first step toward a policy that embodies a deeper, broader sense of generosity and community at home and in the world.

We will gather at 6:30 pm and break the fast at 7:04 pm . The event will be a silent vigil. Please feel free to bring a brown bag dinner to eat after the sunset breaking of the fast.
