Here we live in a country where the government has no legitimate right to rule over us! If the Congress can abrogate the Bill of Rights and its enumerated power (Article I, Sect 8, Clause 11) to declare war, then it has abrogated itself!

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"...

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.

My son was killed in Iraq and not one person anywhere in this world is one iota more free because he is dead.

Queen Nancy... You looked me right in the face in September of 2005 and with crocodile mist in your eyes (do you use Vicks Vaporub for your fake, tears like Glen Beck?) you told me that if the antiwar movement helped Democrats get elected, you would help us end the wars. You are nothing but a cold-hearted liar...

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.

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.

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.

This is something that I don't want to revisit--I never want to relive the worst experience of my life. However, with the 11th anniversary of my son's death in Iraq on 04/04/04 approaching and the new "blockbuster" infecting movie screens around the world, I really must get this off of my chest.

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?!"

If we want to have any success as movements and people, we need to realize that there are forces loyal to the Democratic Party that glom on to people and movements to steer what could be actually affective towards electoral politics, usually in favor of the Democrats on the Liberal side of the political spectrum.

It doesn't matter what the US decides to call its "Operations." Part of us will reject the propaganda, and part of us will embrace it, wanting very desperately to believe that our country is not a rogue state and/or that Obama is not as bad, or worse, than Bush.

Honor those killed on 9-11 by bringing our troops home and creating sustainable forms of energy and taking care of our people.

Recently, the FBI raided the homes of at least eight anti-war/social justice activists here in the US. These raids have terrifying implications for dissent here in the US. The longer we Americans remain silent in the face of these injustices, the more they will continue to occur and escalate.
