Stop illegal sewage spills

Problem: Raw sewage is a serious health threat, yet the City of Columbus has allowed illegal sewage spills for years.  Instead of fixing the problem, the City has spent our money on risky sewer expansions.  As a result, there have been over 10,000 reported cases of sewer back-ups in Columbus basements over the past five years, exposing our neighbors to diseases like E. coli and Hepatitis C.

Now the City Council is considering a historic sewer rate increase, but hasn't created a long-term plan to make sure we fix our sewer problems.

Solution: The City of Columbus must work with the Sierra Club and other concerned citizens to develop an effective and enforceable sewer investment plan. It 's time for Mayor Coleman and City Council to stop sewage overflows - for our families, for our future.

Action Needed: Please contact Mayor Coleman and the Columbus City Council today and ask them to join with Columbus residents to create a sewer plan that works.

Deadline for responding: Please take action by 30 December 2003.

Bush and Hitler

Hello!

I can't help but to notice that you have a picture of Bush & Hitler on your front page of your website.

I am definitely not a proponent of George Bush, or the republican platform, however I believe you are mis- guiding your supporters.

Thru research you will find that George Bush is actually an executive tool used by special interest. Ergo, Bush will say & do whatever he is told to.  I believe you would agree.

Therefore understanding the above truth, then you have to represent Bush as a reflection of the special interests.

If you honestly believe Bush is babbling words of the Nazi leader then you are misguided.  This executive is strongly guided by Isreali special interests such as Jensa, and other Zionist factions.

Strong arming in the shadows is Isreals methods of gaining every ounce of government power, ours that is.

I would say that Bush is a tool of Isreal, which is a secular community somewhat like that of the Nazi purists.

Keep up the truth!!

Linking the Occupation of Iraq With the 'War on Terrorism'

Reuters is one of the more independent wire services. So, a recent news story from Reuters -- flatly describing American military activities in Iraq as part of “the broader U.S. war on terrorism” -- is a barometer of how powerfully the pressure systems of rhetoric from top U.S. officials have swayed mainstream news coverage.

     Such reporting, with the matter-of-fact message that the Pentagon is fighting a “war on terrorism” in Iraq, amounts to a big journalistic gift for the Bush administration, which is determined to spin its way past the obvious downsides of the occupation.

     Here are the concluding words from Bush’s point man in Iraq, Paul Bremer, during a Nov. 17 interview on NPR’s “Morning Edition” program: “The president was absolutely firm both in private and in public that he is not going to let any other issues distract us from achieving our goals here in Iraq, that we will stay here until the job is done and that the force levels will be determined by the conditions on the ground and the war on terrorism.”

     Within hours, many of Bremer’s supervisors were singing from the same political hymnal:

ADC Applauds DOT's Settlement with United Airlines: United Airlines to Spend $1.5 Million on Civil Rights Training

Washington, DC, November 20--The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) applauds the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) for reaching a constructive settlement with United Airlines.  According to the DOT, United Airlines acted in a manner inconsistent with federal laws that prohibit discrimination. The DOT order further requires United Airlines to provide annual civil rights training to its employees for three years at a cost of at least $1.5 million.

Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, ADC filed and assisted others in filing numerous complaints with the DOT against airlines for allegedly removing passengers based on their perceived ethnicity and/or religion. Then in June 2002, ADC joined the American-Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in filing lawsuits against American Airlines, United Airlines, and Continental Airlines alleging that the airlines engaged in the unlawful removals of Arab, Arab-American, Muslim, or South Asian passengers based on their perceived religion, ethnicity, or national origin.

Love, American Style

Can the Brits feel the love yet? Exporting democracy, it turns out, means more than just showing unfortunate non-westerners the joys of having someone else write a decent constitution for them. We have now advanced to the point where we can tell even the land of the Magna Carta just where they went wrong. Apparently, they are so inept at running their own country that George Bush and his coterie of war criminals need to tell them just how to tailor democracy to American tastes.

The exported version, of course, is frighteningly like the domestic one. Free speech, first of all, is overrated, and is easily abused by misfits, peaceniks, trade unionists and other pesky troublemakers. Might we suggest a few important, um, improvements to make the whole thing run a little more smoothly? Really just a nip here and a tuck there. There you go-a Rolling Exclusion Zone would be nice. That way no one can ever get anywhere near a visiting head of state, even if he dragged your country into war and your people are plenty pissed off about it.

To Hell and Back

Thanks to millions of real American patriots (peace, freedom, and environmental activists from every walk of life) the truth about the ugly goals of the murderous Bush regime are being widely recognized.

In the face of the raucous and near-constant barrage of Republican neo-con lies and deceptions, as broadcast to us by the handful of fanatical right-wing billionaires that control our mass media, learning the truth about Bush is perhaps the greatest demonstration that our evolving democracy is still functioning.

Each day, on the Internet, on public radio and television, from the few remaining courageous journalists in the mass media, and from the many in the burgeoning alternative media, we learn more about the deceptions and depravities that are the core of the Bush vision for world domination by economic and military coercion. Recently, we learned that the same Bush that staged a chauffeured landing on an aircraft carrier is really an unprosecuted military deserter and the first president to don a military uniform while holding office. Were any of our troops in Iraq or elsewhere to desert from the military in the

Cover up of Enron facts while repealing the Public Utility Holding Company Act

Re: Cover up of Enron facts while repealing the Public Utility Holding Company Act

On behalf of the Alliance for Democracy, and in conjunction with Common Cause/Ohio, I have been litigating a matter for over three years during which the respondents, the US and Ohio Chambers of Commerce, to an Ohio Elections Commission complaint have engaged in extraordinarily evasive measures so as to avoid the most basic discovery as to who was involved in the election violations involving a corporate funded attack on the Ohio Supreme Court. This continues today and, I anticipate will go on for some time.

I have been following similar machinations in Texas, by the Texas Association of Business, over a corporate funded attack on the Texas House of Representatives, where the inquiry is criminal in nature, but nevertheless the evasion as to who was involved seems to be without limit.

These matters follow the refusal of Vice President of the United States Richard Cheney to disclose basic information as to

Bush's voting machines

It should also be IMPEACHABLE for Bush to have buddies: Sequoia, Diabold, ES&S plus another can't remember to be having them manufacturing voting machines--

No Paper Trail (no printout)--We have to more fast to at least get Rep. Rush Holt's bill "Voter Confidence Act" (requiring every voting machine have paper printout trail) pass in time.

P.S. I WROTE TO REPS & SENS AND U.S. SUPREME COURT TO BEGIN IMPREACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.

The following verse

Dear Free Press,

I've been traveling a lot lately and everywhere I go I've talked to people about our current administration. I've distilled my findings into the following verse:

Here is what I've learned in my travels round about: That George Bush is a moron and Cheney is a lout, And Rumsfeld hides his emptiness behind a knowing frown When word comes from Iraq that another chopper's down.
