Everyday this week people are gathering and marching around the Ohio Statehouse to maintain citizen survelliance on a brazen attempt to steal an election, in effect ending Democracy and installing one-party rule. Articulate attorney Cliff Arneback, from Alliance for Democracy(co-founded by Ronnie Dugger-from The Nation Magazine) is leading a lawsuit that will overturn the Ohio election, WITHOUT a Recount, as evidence from southern Ohio will show that votes were moved from Kerry's column directly into Mr. Bush's. He started his speeches last Saturday by saying," First of all I begin by saying LAW AND ORDER IS ON OUR SIDE." This is not partisan, as an investigator one is obligated to follow the leads and uphold the law* very critical when voting rights and laws are trampled upon and the Election2004 is proving to BE undeniably a Sham. Show up to support this action, speak out to support the recount, stop Blackwell, insist he step aside and show up to HELP make the crackpot Big Media do their job and get with the program instead of deviously trying to program with perception management by establishment apartchicks and 'head space for rent" propagandists. Paid to sell Death in Iraq and now for whatever reason afraid to tell us something is terribly wrong with our democratic process and hiding the fact that we now live, work and breathe in a de-facto Dictatorship, friendly, charming, campy and with a sly smile, THOUGH! |

As an American, fearful for her National Guards' "re assignment" in ongoing occupation of Iraq, I am apprehensive and sickened by the role model our Israeli allies present in managing military standards and Occupation. |

“The Clairnotes are members of AFSCME Local 3700 and they will be singing songs to the University Administration that may sound familiar in melody but the message will be entirely different. We will continue to protest the University of Illinois attempt to lower the standard of living for our members until they decide it simply isn’t worth the effort. No matter how long or how many protest it takes, we will continue to remind the administration that this University Works _Because_ We do. |

Veteran Rwanda expert Alison Des Forges, a senior advisor to Human Rights Watch's Africa division and recipient of a 1999 MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, discusses current events in Rwanda and the Congo in a Q-and-A attached below. |
