According to his press release, Congressman Charles Rangel has reintroduced his legislation to reinstate the draft. He first introduced this legislation in 2003, however the bill was defeated in October 2004. Even Rangel voted against it. So why is he introducing it again now? Read More

I have noticed there are quite a few Kossacks that live in and around Greensboro, NC. In another diary a couple of people said they would be interested in getting together. Is anyone interested in planning an event or working with me to plan an event? If anybody has any ideas on where and/or when please post in the comments.

After dropping out of college almost 10 years ago, I am trying to get my associates degree. I am currently a student at Western International University and all of my classes are online.

One of the classes I am in, cultural diversity, is requiring a 2500 word paper on influences of race and gender in my community. My community can be considered my neighborhood (where I know about 4 people), local government (don't really know anyone), service groups (nope not a member), clubs (don't belong to any), schools (don't attend any other than this one), workplace (I stay at home), or any environment of which you are a part. Needless to say, I had a very hard time trying to find a community of which I was a part. Finally, I got my professor to agree to a community that I look forward to being a part of every day. This one - Daily Kos.

I have family that lives in eastern Tennessee and after talking to them this weekend I am definitely in shock. There is a news story that NO ONE in the major media seems to be reporting on and I can't figure out why. What would you do if your school was closed for the flu? How about if it was closed for 6 out of the last 11 days?Now before anyone starts to panic, officials have said that the numbers of cases are not above normal. So why were 18 school systems in Tennesse closed Thursday and Friday for the flu?

Here is a link to a local news story:

I wrote this letter to my congressman, Brad Miller, because I think it's time that we let the people who "represent" us know how we feel. They are in Washington as "representatives" of the people who elected them and they should vote/act as we feel. Read More

Tomorrow is the day that America finds out which Senators really represent the people of this country, and which ones represent the wealthy and the corporations. Tomorrow, Representative John Conyers will stand up and object to the vote count in Ohio. If, as in the 2000 election, there is not one senator who will stand with him, then it will be as if he had never spoken. Being from North Carolina, I know that neither of my Senators would EVER stand up with him, but there are other Senators from other states that could and might if we let our voices be heard. You can call any Senator at 1-800-839-5276. It is your duty as an American to make your voice heard. Please try and call!

My understanding is that John Kerry will not be attending because he will be on a trip through the Middle East. Personally, I think that he is as depressed as the rest of us at the results of the "election" and just couldn't sit there and hear Congress certify the vote that would keep Bush in power for four more years!

Most people would agree that the current income-based tax system of the United States is confusing, time consuming, and contains far too many loopholes. Support for abolishing the current tax code is growing, not only in Congress, but in the Bush administration as well. There are several tax plans being discussed as alternatives. One plan suggested by Representative John Linder of Georgia is the FairTax Act of 2003 (H.R. 25), which proposes a national sales tax instead of an income tax. While this plan would solve many of the problems of our current tax system, such as its complexity, it is my opinion that the FairTax Plan would be disastrous for Americans and destructive to the American economy.
