Keep the Change!
(7 comments) The “restive anti-war movement” will not do anything it thinks will compromise Democratic chances in the 2010 midterms. I have 2 questions to ask of the “restive anti-war movement.” 1) How did the people of Iraq/Afghanistan lose value as human beings when the Democrats took over power in 2007? 2) How did the people of Pakistan lose their value as humans when Obama became president at the beginning of the year?

Senator Kennedy
(3 comments) I was invited to visit with the Senator in September of 2005 right after my first foray into presidential vacation adventures. I walked into an office on Capitol Hill that was a mini American History Museum.

The President Exhibits Crazy Speech Patterns
(8 comments) As I listened to clips of Obama's speech to the VFW on Aug. 17th, 2009, I was wondering if his speechwriters were on vacation and they just recycled an old Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice speech. While the so-called left is focused on the health care debacle and is allowing the so-called right to define the debate when it should be: Medicare for all, and all for Medicare; Obama and his neocon foreign policy team are preparing...

Passing Propaganda
(4 comments) When I see the riots on the streets of Tehran (in the mainstream "news" why is it said that those people are "bravely standing up for their rights", but when people "bravely stand up for their rights" in Oakland, they're called "thugs") I am reminded of the staged media event of the pulling down of Saddam's statue early on in the sanitized and mass-marketed invasion of Iraq.

The War Party and its Faux-gressive Minions by Cindy Sheehan
(17 comments) For years now, I have been writing about the duplicity of the Democrats and the shocking similarity between the two parties when it comes to the use of state-sanctioned terrorism against innocent populations.

War is Unsuitable for Children: Another YouTube outrage
(1 comments) The US Military has held up to 6000 juveniles in its torture prisons in the Middle East and there has been rape and torture reported to individuals as young as 10 years old! How can any human being torture another human being, much less a child? These stories remind me of the most horrendous slasher movies, but they are not the pretend product of twisted fantasy, but are factual and mind-blowingly real.

The Day of the Dead
(5 comments) Say we assign, in an arbitrary way for purely illustrative purposes, an average height of five feet for every person killed in Iraq and then line those people up from head to toe. That gruesome line would stretch from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon... 950 driving miles up Interstate 5. If we count the Iraqis who have been forced to flee, we would have to go back and forth between Los Angeles and Portland another four times.

For Cripes' Sake, Make Him Already!
(26 comments) President Obama has told his followers if they want him to do anything then they have to "Make him." How is that working out so far?

The More Things Change...
(1 comments) I think many of us know the origins of Mother's Day were for Peace and a universal declaration that we mothers won't send our children to die in wars or to kill the children of other mothers.

Un-plug from the ObaMatrix and Tune-in to Reality!
(45 comments) To blindly trust any system is inherently dangerous. It is healthy to step back from the matrix and always level a critical eye and if necessary rise up in rebellion.

Mamas Don't Let your Babies grow up to be Soldiers!
(13 comments) As of today (July 13, 2006) , the War Department lists 2544 as the number of murdered troops in Iraq. Dozens of innocent Iraqis are being killed due to this war crime every day. More than 80 Iraqis were killed in Baghdad alone on July 9th: dozens of people just in one city on one day who would be alive if not for BushCo.

CODE-RED: People for Revolution!
(19 comments) Together, over 300,000,000 of us have untapped and almost infinite power for change here in the States. If we could channel this into what Martin Luther King, Jr. called a "Revolution of values," we could overthrow the Robber class without a shot being fired from our side.

"Good riddance, you dog"
(31 comments) Today, I received, by email, the video of the Iraqi journalist throwing his shoes at George Bush at a press conference in Baghdad about 20 times. My friends/colleagues were gleeful at the humiliation suffered by our Liar in Chief.

Peace is not an absence of war: it's an absence of preparing for war or an absence of using violence...
(19 comments) Today is the 67th anniversary of the "day that will live in infamy." Likely, if you were alive 67 years ago, you were a very young person. I know a few people who can still remember when the Japanese attacked a US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, but I remember the stories that my parents told me about that day.

"Dream Team" for the Banksters and Imperialists!
(18 comments) I had CNN on yesterday listening to the financial show they have on every morning here in the PST. I don't know which of the "brilliant" analysts that was speaking, but she said two things that made me pick up my ears: Firstly, she said that Obama's economic team is a financial "Dream Team;" then she said: "I wonder if the Constitution can be amended so Obama can be sworn in earlier than January 20th?!"

Troops home...Eventually?!
(8 comments) I have little hope that Emperor-Elect Obama will voluntarily give up any imperial power or reduce the size of the US Empire as he has already promised to increase US presence in Afghanistan and Super-Duper-Size our military to levels never seen before and can only be used for spreading corporate-imperialism. I am not going to drink the blue flavored Kool-Aid any more. Troops home NOW!

Warfare Reform
(3 comments) The real War OF Terror has been waged from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the last seven years and the movement that poured its energy and resources into electing Obama must radicalize to force him to undertake an aggressive program of Warfare Reform.

The Party's Over?
(18 comments) The title for this piece was a very unfortunate statement that Nancy Pelosi made after she handed the banksters on Wall Street 700 billion dollars of our money. This was a whopper of a crime that bailed out fabulously wealthy people who took risks that made them rich on the way up and now again on their ways down. I don't know about you all, but I could have a heckuva party with 700 billion dollars!

Tax Revolt
(9 comments) n the Declaration of Independence, our fore-parents listed the train of abuses that King "George" III (the king of Great Britain at the time) perpetrated on the American colonies. The differences between our "Mad King George," and the one that reigned over these states, 232 years ago are slim. Before my son, Casey, was killed in Iraq, I was like these Americans. I dutifully obeyed stupid laws and paid my taxes...

Our economic system is Capitalize the profits, but Socialize the costs
(15 comments) When progressives talk about federal job programs, medicare for all, free higher education... or any other social programs to help people the centrists and rightists scream: "SOCIALISM." But when a capitalist company (usually banks or mortgage banks go under, we the tax-payers bail them out.

This is Horseshit
(29 comments) If people can't see how this nation is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin and dragging the rest of this planet down with us as we destroy our ecology, too...and if people don't realize how desperate our situation is, then I must say, that's horseshit!

Ask Not What...
(1 comments) The only reason that our military is under such a great burden is because politicians like Barack Obama have voted consistently for billions of wasted dollars to continue BushCo's abominable occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead of increasing the Pentagon's already bloated budget, a true peace candidate would be calling for immediate withdrawal of forces from these countries so our military can begin the healing process

Mother's Day 2008; Peaceful Idealism v. Political Pragmatism
(5 comments) Some women have lost their only child to the ravenous war machine and they somehow go on. One specific mother has her family intact and can callously sign blank checks to pay for war (that are really nothing but death warrants for other people's children) with only the life and health of her political party in her heart. Another mother can talk about "obliterating" an entire innocent country filled with mothers and children

Nancy Pelosi's Day Job
(3 comments) Nancy Pelosi, in an unprecedented moment, was asked in an interview by Larry King about the candidacy of Cindy Sheehan. Pelosi's reply? "I don't even think about it much. You know, I have a day job." Sheehan, in this article, takes a look at how that day job is going.

The Casey Sheehan Doctrine
(7 comments) After the initial shock of having a cherished part of me violently torn away, the story that the Army told us about Casey's death did not ring true.

Women's Issues
All people who are in the human category deserve the rights to: good paying (union) jobs; a living, not minimum, wage; healthy food; clean water; warm shelter; health insurance; and good and accessible (for all) education. All people have the fundamental human rights to live in environments that are also healthy and free from war and violence or to marry or partner with whomever they choose as consenting adults.

Open-Armed Policy and Cuba
(7 comments) We need an "open-armed policy" with our neighbors in this hemisphere not an "armed and dangerous" persona. America is certainly perceived as a bully all over the world but in the case of Cuba, it could not be more exemplified. The US talking tough to Cuba is like a lion roaring at a mouse. Reaching across the channel with fair trade and open arms will go farther towards Cuba becoming more free and democratic

Military Tribunals and You
Madam Justice's fabled scales are heavily weighted to benefit the wealthy or the established ruling class. Ask any person of color or poor citizen here how the American justice system works for them. There is no place for secrecy or suppression of dissent in any free, open or democratic society. In allowing these military tribunals to continue the very cornerstone of human rights is being shattered.

The Fierce Urgency of Now
Today as we commemorate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, we must also acknowledge the violence of his death at the hands of the machine that has only grown more powerful and rapacious over the years. We must also acknowledge the violence of the inconceivable racism here in America that recently raised its demented head in such places as Jena, LA, New Orleans and my own backyard: Bayview-Hunter's Point, SF, CA.

The "I" Word
(3 comments) Once, when my children were young, one of them rushed into me and said: "Mama, so-and-so, said the "˜K' word." I could never figure out what the "k" word was, because neither of the children would say that very naughty word. f all one did was listen or watch the corporate media, one would think that "Impeachment" was a naughty word. Today was the day we delivered 11,000 petitions and letters to Nancy Pelosi.

Stains
(4 comments) Today on the 6th anniversary of the opening of a black stain on the soul of America, Guantanamo Bay prison. I was going to write about the necessity of the base being closed and the prisoners charged, tried, or released, but another stain has been nagging at me today. The hidden stain of female members of the military being abused by fellow soldiers, Marines, or sailors is one that is regularly ignored or glossed over...

All Power to the People
(1 comments) In true populist fashion an election revolution must begin in this country. We must not "waste"- our votes on candidates because of the "lesser of two evils"- illogic. Voting for the LOTE is like saying to oneself: Should I vote for Satan or Beelzebub? Voting for a 3rd party or Independent candidate that reflects your values not only allows you to hold your head high, but sends a message to the corrupt duopoly of Dems and Reps

The White Rose and the Rose Parade

Once Upon a Time
(12 comments) Once upon the same time in the land of California, there was a Ruler in the Caste of the Democrats named Nancy Pelosi. She told Casey's Mom to her face that she was very sorry for Casey dying and that she was doing everything she could to stop other Casey's from meeting the same fate. Years later, Casey's Mom found out that this Pelosi wench knew all along what the evil Ruler George III was up to when he tortured innocents.

Come Together, Right Now!
(1 comments) Now after nearly 5 years of the illegal occupation of Iraq and over 5 years of the immoral occupation of Afghanistan, we all know, even those who watch the propaganda news networks and are in denial, that this war is not only gone horribly wrong from day one, but is a sham based on deceit.

A Blueprint for Impeachment;:The Constitution Still in Crisis
(4 comments) I was recently given an award by the Cranbrook Peace Institute and the ceremonies were held in Detroit, the hometown of Rep. John Conyers. I was pretty surprised that he agreed to introduce me at the event considering that the last time I saw him I was being hauled out of his office in DC in handcuffs and I have been very outspoken about the Democrats failure to hold BushCo accountable.

A New Direction to Disaster
(5 comments) A response to Karl Rove's Wall Street Journal Op-ed and the Dem Congress' Iraq policy; In Karl's diatribe against the failed 110th Congress he makes all kinds of misleading and scurrilous claims about Congress. I NEVER thought I would agree with the Master of Sleaze about anything, but taking no joy in my agreement or conclusions, I do agree that the 110th is pretty pitiful, but for obvious different reasons.

Pete, Nancy, George and WWIII
(71 comments) Ms. Pelosi joined hands with Republicans to condemn Rep. Stark. For the Republicans to say that Congressman Stark's comment demeaned "the troops" is so patently ridiculous, it is stunningly pathetic. Our troops and their much higher paid cousins, the mercenary killers, are killing innocent Iraqis. IT IS A WAR! What do these morally bankrupt Chickenhawks think occurs in war?

Pro-Democracy means Anti-Fascism
(3 comments) Seeing the images of the monks and others being beaten (in Myanmar) reminds me of the Democratic Convention in 1968 where Chicago police beat the living daylights out of demonstrators who were there to try and force the party to come closer to the budding anti-war movement. Only vote for candidates that promise the following things"-for president, or any other federal elective offices:

Call Out The Instigator
(17 comments) I'm not backing off. I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the US, what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter's sentence (he's not ruling out a full pardon -"and you know he will) has dragged me kicking and screaming back in.

"Good Riddance Attention Whore"
(63 comments) I have endured a lot of smear and hatred since Casey was killed and especially since I became the so-called "Face" of the American anti-war movement. Especially since I renounced any tie I have remaining with the Democratic Party, I have been further trashed on such "liberal blogs"...

Cindy Sheehan: Vermont, Land of Hope

Money Trumps Peace...Sometimes
"Money trumps peace" should be the rallying call of all the Democrats and Republicans who are exploiting our tired and wounded soldiers in the field to justify handing BushCo more money to complete his mission of totally decimating the Middle East for the oil companies, construction contractors, and defense industries.

Breakfast with Dennis Kucinich
Dennis gets the fact that Nov. 7th was a peaceful overthrow of war-time politics as usual. He realizes that America did not turn out in flocks to vote for the Democrats, because the Democrats have no clear, and yes, even, very confused platforms and polices, but Americans voted for a new direction in this country, especially a direction that leads us out of Iraq.

Cindy Sheehan: Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers; We the People are Setting the Table Now
(8 comments) We the people are shocked that you two are already stridently saying over and over again that impeachment is "off the table." Since the historic Nov. 7th elections, I have talked to a boat-load of Americans who want impeachment on the table. We activists worked hard to make these elections about national issues, like the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq, and the culture of corruption...

Cindy Sheehan: Another Open Letter to George
I hope you realize that your demented policies and miserably failed leadership style is responsible for the thumping that your party took this week. Even though I couldn't be a secret first hand witness to your political demise, it was good to be in front of your soon-to-be-vacated premises in DC.

Me, Hugo and George
"While the world seems to be coming apart at the seams, it is also important for our mainstream, corporate-owned media to get their facts straight and report the news truthfully and with integrity instead of being tools for war and greed... George Bush is an out-of-control criminal who needs to be impeached for his lies, removed from office for his transgressions, and imprisoned for his crimes against humanity."
