Now, let's see. The Senators Lieberman, Nelson, Feinstein, and so many others who more or less represent corporate power, especially those health care corporations, and Harry Reid, who supports their power and backs them up, ... the very same corporations and lobby shops who raise money for these candidates, and give them lovely parties, are now supporting gangs of thugs to threaten and intimidate members of Congress and shut down public meetings ...

Ask Senators Feinstein and Reid to make sure that the public is allowed to see the lobbying history of the telecom industry on the Director of National Intelligence and on legislators before any kind of telecom immunity bill is passed.

According to an article on Huffingtonpost this morning by Max Follmer, a coalition of progressive California Democratic groups are planning to introduce a censure resolution regarding Senator Dianne Feinstein to the Executive Committee of the California Democratic Party this weekend

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

Updated: The Courage Campaign sent out an email to its members this morning asking for people to "censure the senator" and support the Democratic Clubs and organizations behind the movement.

As the Courage Campaign talks about, I was there at the Oakland DFA Meetup when the the original resolution was first read aloud to grassroots activists by Mal Burnstein.

To read the full story, see the resolution and read the Courage email below.

Debra Bowen's top to bottom review of election equipment in California pulled back the curtain to reveal fraud on the part of both the companies and the public officials who have been defending these systems as adequate.

During the past few years of corporate media blackout on election issues, John Gideon at Voters Unite has kept us informed by bringing together a daily collection of articles of election related subject matter from across the country. Often they included local press reports from small towns and counties across America which detailed meltdowns on election day. These were reports of extensive malfunctions that were ignored by the MSM and marginalized by the PR arms of the voting machine industry and the corrupt election officials they did business with.

It seems clear to me that the blogosphere grew as a result of the capitulation of the larger media. They committed suicide. The air went out of the balloon. Those now writing the scripts have reduced the intelligence level on the tele every year for the past maybe twenty years until there is no content left. There is no "there there". This is a fact.

Let's make a list of all of the things that we should demand that the Republicans apologize for --
I'll start it out:
1) Destroying the Constitution.
Or should we list the specific instances of destroying the Constitution?
2) Killing innocent people in enormous numbers. (600,000?)
3) Destroying the substance of the difference between truth and lies and devaluing the public discourse.

After reading the Rolling Stone article which is so sad it makes me want to weep -- I wrote this rant to the DCCC telling them to take me off their mailling list--and demanding that they stand up to this issue.
Anyone want to join me? Write to the Democratic Party, the DCCC, Kerry or whoever and tell them to DO SOMETHING!

TO: DCCC, Rahm Emmanuel, etc.

Every one of you read this--
http://www.rollingstone.com/...

and then tell us why the Democratic Party did nothing to protect us from this in 2004 and why you are doing nothing to protect us from it now. Read More
