i got music for a minute on White rose 2. Now nothing. No link at IBC
Good morning or afternoon!
Thanks Winter. We’re on!
I was about to give up on todays show and low and behold I turned to stock show on IBC 1 and they said they might be shortly preempted for the Brad Show live from Camp Casey. It would also be going out live over there affiliates if all worked out well and Stock show to be on IBC 2. Well I am waiting on IBC 1 as soon as I hear the show I will send this message.
It’s a go! Loud and clear on IBC 1!!!!!
I was so confident I had this message ready to print!
Yaaaayy!! Loud and clear
I’m listening! Echo Colleen!
Woo-Hoo! Love all that music!
Loud and clear here too.
Yo Brad! You The Man! Sounds great here in lonely Prague. What’s the noble cause? Indeed, what’s the real goal? Let’s ask the question until it’s answered! You go Brad! Like Red Sox Nation, Bradville’s 6 or 7 are spread far and wide. It doesn’t matter where in the world you live, duhbaya poses a lethal danger to each and every one of us. Please don’t let up – don’t let him pull any rope-a-dope! Let’s hog-tie them all, and right now!
Bob in Prague
Well – Brad is sounding refreshed after getting more than 40 minutes sleep last night!
This will be another history-making day as we listen to people whose voices have been effectively silenced over the past 5 (or more) years.
GO BRAD GO!!!
Slicer — good eye! — spread the news far and wide!!
What on earth is that chain gang music? And what is the purpose?
Yeah!
Welcome everybody to the Open Thread! Please make some chit-chat — AND is anybody from DU with us today?
Reminder for those just trying to get on. Go live to IBC 1. Brad is on instead of stocktalk.
Found this article at the Lone Star Iconoclast:
Horrific Moral Falsehoods Perpetrated Upon American People
[snip] … According to Dewey, every situation ought to be judged on the uniqueness of the situation itself. There are no moral absolutes as with religious dogma. Dr. Dewey was a pragmatist, a democratic humanist who ironically saw a need for religious faith as a control for the masses. With the war in Iraq, however, these opposing and seemingly contradictory statements seem to clash. What solves this moral paradox is the “intention result model” so common in philosophy. What was the intention of President Bush in ordering the invasion of Iraq? Now, what is the result of that intention?
Man is often corrupted by social forces, according to Reinhold Niebuhr. An infant sees light without absolutes in regard to moral reasoning. But after years of existence, the light turns dark as a shroud of social and cultural opinion arrest moral growth. Politicians by nature seek compromise whereas morality is uncompromising. Therefore, politicians are immoral. With regard to Iraq, perhaps the lowest level of moral stratification is reserved for those who seek only to democratize a sovereign state or prostitute its economy. Is this the morality of Christ?
In conclusion, there have been horrific moral falsehoods perpetrated upon the American people by an administration many rank lower than that of President Warren Harding. But, just like sex, Christ sells in our great land. Christ is absolute and his teachings have been used as weaponry against perception. We have bankrupted our nation in a moral sense since liquid seeks its own level. As French President Jacques Chirac has said, “Iraq is the biggest mistake in the two hundred plus year history of the United States.” And to that I say, oui, Monsieur le President. … [snip]
OT but I
I just got off phone with my twin sister. I should be a great-aunt again in few hours.
Sorry I missed paragraph separation on that post.
Slicer
That beautiful music was from ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ I think G. Clooney(sp?)
Hello WP
Outstanding coverage of the Crawford "Happening". Cindy Sheehan and her supporters are to be commended. To Brad and his faithful, keep the heat on!
OT……….Anything recent concerning Gen. Kevin Byrnes or the recent retirement of Gen. Rodney Kobayashi?
The new talking point: Irag is similar to WW! and WW!!. The beaches of Normandy and all that.
Bush and George Allen have said so.
Congratulations, Colleen! An exciting day for you & your loved ones!
Oh, Colleen thats great news about your sister!!
Keep us posted.
Thanks to David for this link:
Crawford Update Blogspot .com
re #1 from Shmoopatties: The CNN show you are promoting is NOT telling you the truth. It represents an "intelligence meltdown" as an "honest mistake", but it wasn’t — it was a deliberate lie!
I was planning to write an item about this but for the past few days I’ve been too sick to blog … I promise I will write about it as soon as I can, but in the meantime please read Double Whammy: Fixing The Intelligence; Breaking The Agencies.
O Brother is just about my favorite movie. Hee Haw
Mine too Colleen! Reminds me of my childhood and family.
Get well Winter Patriot.
I agree with WP about the poor job CNN did as far as journalism goes. They did great with their subtle propaganda tactics, as usual.
Here’s a link to the Lone Star Iconoclast.
Thanks once again to Leon Smith!
Shoot! I mean ‘Be well’, hope your better.
I just love this graph … always good to refresh our minds with facts:
Great to hear from Cindy! Our prayers are with her & her mom. She is still at Camp Casey in spirit!
Thanks for the link, WP #24!
I’m loving the music again today. Oooo — here comes my fav from the movie "Chocolat."
It’s a very powerful movie for the times. Gives you a very close look at the mean power of fundamentalist religion — how it teaches its followers to fear joy & expression of any amorous feelings and to hate those who feel free enough to accept that part of ourselves as a gift from God.
Haha! Love that intro — "A man who’s not afraid to interrupt his vacation … Brad Friedman!!"
IBC just dropped to broadcast and I had to go back to White Rose to pick up. IBC went back to Stock Talk!
Check out this picture at DU:
Bill Moyer, 73, wears a "Bullshit Protector" flap over his ear while President George W. Bush addresses the Veterans of Foreign Wars. (AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac)
IBC = "I Be Confused" ???
Speak the TRUTH Military Mom! We won’t accept any more LIES from bu$h!!!
#36 Adorable!! How many words is a picture worth?
Hehe – Nana!
Boy, that got some kickn’ music today!
Nana (or others) – did you catch the last interview — was Mimi a Gold Star Mom?
Kira- Military Families, I think
You just heard from a representative of Military Families Speak Out
Visit the website!
What about the one before the Military Families?
Gold Star, I think
You’re so good to me, Nana! Thanks. I’m a little slow on the uptake today — kinda cobwebby!
Me too Kira, but if Brad keeps it up with Stand Up and HOT HOT HOT, I’ll be mixing a batch of Margaritas soon!
Was it Mimi Evans?
Mimi Evans of Hyannis, Mass., said, shortly after Cindy left the Vigil, "My son is deploying to Iraq within the next week, and I am here in Crawford because I have the same questions for the President as Cindy does. Just what is the noble cause for which my son is risking his life?"
"Military and Gold Star Families will remain in Crawford throughout the month or until we meet with President Bush. We hope Cindy can return here, but if she is unable to, we are determined to continue to uphold the call for a meeting and an end to the war. The questions Cindy has for President Bush are the same questions thousands of mothers and families across the country have," said State Sen. Becky Lourey of Kerrick, Minn., whose son Chief Warrant Officer Matthew Scott Lourey was killed in Iraq on May 27, 2005.
Members of Gold Star Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out will speak at a press conference at 11:30 a.m today (Aug. 19) at Camp Casey in Crawford, Texas, featuring Mimi Evans, Becky Lourey, Michelle DeFord, Nadia McCaffrey and other Military and Gold Star Families.

Kira#35 – Love the photo
Kira # 30 – Isn’t it amazing how the repubs claim that due to the upturn at the end of ’93 it is a sign that all of the progress from ’93-2000 was due to Bush #1’s economics and since there was a downturn at the end of 2000 the crash from 2000-2003 was due to Clinton?!
Listening in on White rose 2 – caught the end of the last interview – music now.
Was that Joan Baez the were talking about staying through the week?
Brad, Nice shot of you and Joan. Reminds me of a similar shot of myself and Buffy Saint Marie at a demonstration for iindian rights in Wisconsin in the late 60’s. Unfortunatly the photo was lost in a flood.
czaragorn – Nice to see someone from the other side of the world here.
Brad’s back
Sorry Peg C, I wish I could help.
#56 Bluebear2
Soooo funny, could watch it over and over!
great show! I’m not at my computer. Just listening.
Busload of Beelzebush supporters, eh?
Payed for by Clear Channel and the Texans for a Republican Majority I would think
Bluebear2 – How can it be that historically the repubs have put us further into debt yet they always blame it on the Democrats? Excuse me. How is it Clinton had 8 years of continuous rise out of debt and for the first time ever way up into surplus — yet bush & reagan get the credit ????
Idiots with swiss cheese for brains.
Hey Kira,
I’ve been listening.
Do any of the Crawford blogspots or talk to Cindy or Iconoclast have news about BradShow and links to listen? Done a bit of looking, but haven’t found any…but this would be a great way to get the word out…

Peg C #56
I am using Winamp
It is a free download and works great. It also has a jukebox for arainging all of your music files. The premium version costs about $20 and adds the ability to rip mp3 files and burn cd’s
Lots of interesting problems today that hopefully will get ironed out as the crew continues to knit it all together.
Good suggestion, VG.
Amazon to sell novellas for 49 cents
Online retailer Amazon.com Inc. will allow shoppers to download exclusive short works from best-selling authors including Danielle Steel, creating a new digital marketplace for literature.
The works will include novellas and will be sold for 49 cents, the Seattle-based company said. Authors including Ann Beattie and James Lee Burke will produce works for sale on Amazon.
[snip]
The site debuted with 64 works from 59 authors. Kessel said Amazon.com is in talks with more writers to add essays, unpublished book chapters and commentaries. The works average between 2,000 and 10,000 words.
"We know it’s a market that’s been around for hundreds of years that customers were always interested in," Kessel said in an interview. "But it was very restricted because of the economics of having to print them."
Danielle Steel, who has written 93 books, penned a 3,900-word essay about life titled "Candy for the Soul," while Mark Crispin Miller, a New York University media studies professor, has a 6,400-word piece about his views on President Bush’s administration.
Buyers can either read the work on the Web, download it as a PDF file or receive it as a plain-text email.

AMAZON SHORTS are never-before-seen short works from a wide variety of well-known authors, available only on Amazon.com. Try a new genre or a new author–there’s something for everyone. Amazon Shorts are:
* New short-form literature from top authors for only 49 cents
* Delivered electronically; there are no printed editions
* Yours forever after purchase; save or print and read at your convenience

I just bought a piece by Mark Crispin Miller –
The State We’re In:
Bush/Cheney and the Specter of Theocracy,
for 49 cents! It’s absolutely chilling.
This is an amazing service I think and gives us the opportunity to encourage authors to produce info for the masses without the filter of editors and publishers and the cost of dead trees. I wish I could share the M.C. Miller story I just got but I’m sure you won’t be able to access the website if I post the link…
So sorry I missed the show both yesterday and today. By the time I get home it seems to be over. 🙁
Kira #64 you are correct, but you may have insulted a bunch of Packer fans. LOL
You mean the Brad’s still on??? I was getting some stock show when I tuned in a few minutes ago…
I recommended The Brad Show at Atrios
My dog is having such a fit because he sees rabbits in the yard – LOL! I missed some of that last interview. Here’s a little bit I caught:
Brad’s currently interviewing Nicholas (last name? – Brisbella?) who served in Afghanistan 2001-2002.
Veterans for Peace .org
#66 and #56
I am also using Winamp to listen via a dial-up connection and it works well.
BB2- are you vintage ’69?
Packer fans have swiss cheese for brains?
Finally…got the last few secs of Brad’s interview with the photographer sailor. Where can one see the photo of Brad and Joan Baez?
I’ve been connected all day to this link:
Whiterosesociety.org – option 1
After the Show last night, Ben Burch (White Rose Society) put the show on infinite loop throughout the entire night. I assume he’ll do the same for this one & so on.
Start making your list of serious War Profiteers:
General Electric
Halliburton
Carlisle Group
Even Dell Computers, I think.
LISTEN TO AUDIO:
Utah Mayor Rocky Anderson Supports Peace Protest
Rocky supports the peace protest in Salt Lake City and is one of the main organizing forces behind it which has some right wingers up in arms. Anderson came armed with facts as he debated the right wing talk show host.
Peg C #56 —
You can download a lean version of WinAmp from my site here (2.12mb).
Once installed (it will ask if you want to update the first time you run it, answer no) you can listen via both the White Rose links or the IBC WinAmp links. Hope this helps.
Baez is BACK! – Excellent article at the Iconoclast
Thanks Peggy! He’s a straight shooter! We need more like him.
Kira #78 Excellent idea! most people are unaware, I think.
Heeyyy Torqued! Glad you’re onboard!!!
Nana #82 — sounds like a good, simple, concise 1-sheet Whispering Campaign print out, eh?
Workin my way back home Kira.
Yesterday afternoon the 30 or so rooled through Sacramento. All 8 cars full.
The local news showed them confronting a group of anti-war protesters. Most of the coverage, including a front page (Photo) in the Sacramento Bee newspaper, highlighted a local woman up in the face of an anti-war person screaming and yelling.
The Bee also report on another soldiers mom asking which side the 30 or so were on. The reply was "We’re the patriots – we support the president" the mom’s reply was "Then I think I’m on the wrong side"
They are now on their way to southern Ca. Arizona, New Mexico and plan to arrive in Crawford Saturday.
Looks like Brad’s trying to do the show until 6 pm Eastern Time. You guys up for that?
#64 Kira
That’s because they blame the recession during Reagan and Bush Sr on Jimmy Carter but using their same logic I would say that Ford and Nixon were responsible for the crash that occured during Carter’s administration. I’ve heard the excuse that the economy changes every 7 years. If this was a fact as they claim it was Jimmy Carter couldn’t be blamed for the collapse during his administration. A quick way to shut them up is to mention that three Republican presidents in a row led to the stock market crash in the 20s.
That ranch Brad talks about is an old Pig farm,
lots of swine there before and after the sale
Kira #87 Sure, the boys can have pizza again tonight!
200 members of IVAW, WOW,
Sorry that photo is so small – nothing here to enlarge it.
The woman in the pink shirt is one of the 30 or so.
Wow! Nicholas has such interesting things to say- especially about lack of support for Vets- listen up!! These guys back are being betrayed. Same thing for Vietnam vets– promises broken, time and time again. So cynical, our govt.
For the current interview … sorry I didn’t catch this vet’s name … and I missed one of the links he gave.
Here’s one:
Iraq Vets Against the War .net
He mentioned Operation Freedom .com, but that’s not a good link. Did I miss a word?
Thanks
My computer defaults to Dell Jukebox (which I don’t even have installed!), so I have to go through contortions to get WMP to play anything (right-clicking and going to Properties, copying and pasting). Even so, it’s necessary to feel connected to all these wonderful folks, both at Crawford and right here on the Blog!
BTW — that was still Nicholas (in re my #93)
Cindy’s Blog: My Response to George As He Speaks from His Vacation away from His Vacation
Peg C. —
Check out my #80… It will solve your problem.
Re my post #86 – A friend just brought in the Bee – so here is the actual quote I was refering to:
Sharon Cohen of Sacramento arrived and walked toward a group of mothers on one side of the street.
"Which side is this?" Cohen asked.
"The pro-America side," said Gretchen Hass of Rocklin.
Cohen noticed the peace signs across the street and quipped:
"Oh, I’m pro-America, but I think I’m over there."
Sorry, OT but this is vitally important.
I just got off the phone with the DNC in regards to past Chairman Andrews becoming a paid PR man for Diebold electronic voting machines.
Not only did the DNC NOT have a plan, each person I spoke with was rude and as sarcastic as hell, as if their time was being wasted.
I suggest others get on the phone or drop them an e-mail to show who’s side they are to be representing.
I guess past donations and support of all things necessary to lift the Democratic party only mean something to them when they feel it necessary.
Try to get this message out to as many people and boards as you can. We can’t allow e-voting hacks like Diebold to get any further foothold on our system of goverment.

Haha! Brad’s reiterating it now … I’m sloooowww!
Hi, Torqued!! And thanks!!!
Oh dear, have to get groceries sometime this P.M. – hate to miss anything… How’d you like that comment that troops who got hyper or suicidal are given Paxil and put right back to work?!
Nicholas said:
"When the President becomes a domestic enemy…"
Thank you N.
I’ll leave the WinAmp link up for ya Peg C. Have fun… I gotta get back to work.
VG #102 –
He hit the nail squarely on its head, didn’t he?
Got an email from Kerry this morn, he said we are 1 billion $ short of meeting vetrans health care needs this year
Support Our Troops, put a little yellow ribbon on your car. This just burns me.
Peg C. #101
Not to worry:
(Previous days shows reBRADCast throughout night at WhiteRose links
Nicholas said (my paraphrase) —
The [Mainstream] Media is ignoring the Iraq and other War Veterans who are supporting Cindy Sheehan’s movement. This is important to point out in your letters to Media outlets and your Representatives in DC.
Hi all you great peeps!! Damn, I’m confused about when the show starts! Thought it was 1:00 p.m. PT, which would be 4:00 p.m. my time…am I wrong? (poo!)
Happy to be here NOW! Love you guys!
Show starts at 1:00 pm Eastern .. Is that 10 a.m. PT? My math brain, today, is like the swiss cheese I referred to earlier LOL!
Gaahhh! See what I tol’ ya? I saw it just as I pushed "submit" LOLOL!
That would be 4 pm Pacific. Sheesh.
Well — Brad’s going to be there until bu$h returns to soil the Oval Office again, around Labor Day — if all goes as planned! So we’ll have every day until then to figure it all out!
Joan #108 –
It’s 1:00 P.M. EDT. He’ll be on until 6:00 today.
Yay Spooney! I like this already ….. :satisfied:
Thanks again to Ben Burch of White Rose Society for making it possible for so many of us to listen to the Brad Show from Crawford. The site has links to various affilate bookstores, including Powell’s (my fave). If you use the links there, White Rose Society benefits. We owe him, doncha think???
VG
Heck. Typo. affiliate.
AbsoDamnLutely, VG!
Can I still post here? GreyMatter has been blocking me …
Just back, who is that singing ???????
Trying to give you the website for Spooney but couldn’t. Try this:

60 more minutes of mayhem!!!
Sounds like David Allen Cole(sp)?
David Allen Coe.
Kira Woo-Hoo!! "Up against the wall you redneck neo-Cons’!!
Everybody back from popping corn … microwaving pizza … potty breaks? More show coming right up!
Just now tuning in, was gone all day. Wow, an extra hour…WooHoo!
Joan
The show starts at HIGH NOON. Picture Cindy and Bush facing each other on the blacktop in the hot Texas sun. Hands ready to draw.
Cindy the tall heroine (Gary Cooper) in the white hat. Bush the skinny, smirking villian.
Cue music.
It’s time they had a "time out." Sit ’em in the corner and don’t let ’em up until they figure out what the Golden Rule really means. That’s Family Values.
Kira #116
I’ve had that Greymatter problem when trying to post a comment that included too many links. Knowing you, ms. infomeister, that could be it….?
Not a picture of the OK corral (not) but a good one, never-the-less!
From the Smirking Chimp:
Who Knows VG? It all looks fine & dandy to me and wasn’t a lot of info. No dirty words. :scratching my head:
Maawwaa.
Cartoon says: Roadmap to Peace
Not OK Corral
I’m sorry … I may have posted a link to a rightwinger bunch … further looking shows some neoCon traits.
whoops.
Thanks, Kira, Peg & Colleen! I’ll get it straight one of these days, hehe!
Nice High Noon image, Colleen! If he just sat down with her, human to human, she would blow him the fuck away like a Texas tumbleweed, pardon my French. I always feel apologetic towards the poor French when I say that!
Just caught the last bit of that interview. The mother whose daughter was badly injured – and not medivac-ed out. She was in National Guard. They didn’t take care of her leg because they “needed” her. Now she can’t walk. She already had metal plates & screws in the leg. These are our NATIONAL GUARDS … they should be here if bu$h is really concerned about protecting the American people.
Now, just what was that agenda again, dubya?
Kira #131
Great ‘toon! Thanks. But shouldn’t the map be upside down, too?
BTW, there is some error in your Not OK Corral link. Are you using CA too much? 😉
No .. I’ll bet Brad has his Grey Matter tuned to corrupt rightwing links. (LOLOL!)
The guys on the ground are fighting for their fellow soldiers. Any "idea" is secondary.
IMPORTANT 6 or 7-ers
Did you catch the 4 networks carrying this show Brad just mentioned?
Would like to make a list.
The recruiting officer told my son that the Iowa National Guard had never been deployed overseas. This was after Op Iraqi Freedom. Around 2000.
His unit will be going to ME for the THIRD time since he joined .
Adele Cubane from MFSO.org – Military Families Speak Out, thank YOU!!!
#135 Kira,
Oh yeah, they’re so concerned about protecting the homeland, HA! I guess that’s why they let the assault weapons ban elapse. What the hell was that?!
And now the word is they are going to relax restrictions on what items you’re allowed to bring on airplanes: razors are ok now, as are knives less than 5 inches long & "throwing stars"? Aren’t they pretty lethal?? Jeez.
I feel so much safer now. Thanks, George.
Jeez, Colleen. The bastards.
So — can I take my tweezers on a flight now or are they still considered dangerous weapons?
Oh no, this song really gets me …
Ok, I have a selfish request…do you accept requests, Mr. Brad the Disc Jockey?
Sometime could you play a bit of Bob Dylan’s Masters of War?? GREAT song, especially under the circumstances…
Hey! Wasn’t he a good friend of Joan Baez’ back in the day?? (sooo…Joan…got his cell phone number??…can’t he come on down to Crawford too?? Please, Bob??)
Ok, I figure I can dream a little…
This whole live radio/blog is just so cool. I love this blog.
Thanks all you guys who worked so long and hard for this.
tHANKS TO BRAD FOR INTERRUPTING YOUR VACATION.
Sorry Kira, I didn’t catch it, my dog got out and got back for Brand finish.
Thanks to these guys who are carrying the Brad Show from Crawford, TX:

White Rose Society (Ben Burch)
Thanks once again Brad and crew; All the folks supporting Cindy Sheehan’s movement down in Crawford, TX and everybody who is helping this thing survive – from providing food, shelter, equipment, music … and whatever I haven’t thought of.
Thanks all you Bradvillians! Liberal Hugs & Kisses, and SEE ya tomorrow! Same time, same station.
Oops, lost sound for a minute there…and now it’s off again. It’s 6 p.m. here…was that the unceremonious end of the show? *sigh* guess so…
Thank you, guys! Another day of speaking the truth. Gotta work tomorrow but I will be with you in spirit for sure. :o)
I think I got the list in #149 – unless I missed something. Seems to be par for the course today for me!
Our dogs! Couldn’t live without ’em.
Thank YOU Colleen for givin’ a damn! 😉
Thank you ALL for all you’re doing out there to keep up the noise!
I’ll keep doing it on this end as long as I can…(Which is a long long time, I think 😉
Gotta run and do some media interviews now. So sorry to be gone…THANK YOU GUYS!
Sorry Kira, thats in re. to 139 :tired:

BradShow times…
LIVE DAILY FROM CRAWFORD TEXAS!
"Operation Noble Cause" is now on the air straight from the ground at Camp Casey!
EVERY DAY at HIGH NOON in Texas! (1p ET, 10am PT)
I can’t make it tomorrow, but will see ya Thursday for the live show. YeeHaw! Keep the Fires Burnin’!
Thank YOU, Mystical Star!
I need a break now – or a nap!
Please, I gotta remind y’all – your DONATIONS(no matter how small) really help keep this thing alive.
This is our hot button issue right now. Let’s make a difference and bring our soldiers home!
Thanks Brad for another great show, and great words from all.
I hope that you will continue to interview vets, like Nicholas. What an eye-opener to hear that none of the "media" wanted to interview him during an event (sorry can’t remember which), only to interview the mothers. How cruel is this? Plenty, I think. We need to hear from both right now.
Our vets are NOT being supported or honored by Bush and the Bush administration. Bush talks about "supporting the troops" but these are empty words. Once men and women become "vets", not "troops" Bush no longer cares about them. If he really cared about them, then he’d cut his vacation short, and push for policies that truly honored our troops– medical care, medical insurance, and all that they need, including a real voice. It is heart-breaking.
Remember the Brad Show interview with Marine Sgt. RICHARD "R.J." MEEHAN on tour of duty in Iraq where he lost three fingers in an unarmored humvee and his meeting with George W. Bush in the hospital?
audio here. Meehan said during the interview that he was distressed that Bush had not called him by his military Marine rank (thus not honoring his accomplishments) and, when RJ told Bush that "maggot therapy" had helped save remaining parts, Bush’s response was "oh, yuk". What a callous response.
Sorry to have gone on so long here, but if anyone out there buys into the idea that Bush is actually "supporting our troops" they need to take a much much closer look at Bush’s propaganda.
VG

VG — don’t worry about going on so long! We’re starved to hear these things. You are 100% right and we need to remind the pro-war folks of this. Especially the ones who are bad-mouthing Cindy & the rest of us who support her cause.
Keep making that noise! It’s great.
VG — you could write up a 1 or 2 pager for the Whispering Campaign on that subject. Great stuff.
Grey matter – I got that earlier too – I had accidently clicked the "Forget me" button instead of "Submit"
This cleared my name from the post. When I then hit "Submit" I got the grey matter message.
Fixed when I re-entered my name.
Have a good night folks!

When we join together and withhold our purchases from some targeted Republican contributors we can wield power that will force the executives of these Republican contributors to go to the Republican party do our agenda.
Now, the agenda written below does not address everything but you can choose a big company that gives aid and comfort to the Republican Party and demand that their executives get the Republican Party to do what you want. You can excercise this power every day and you can get other people to join and exercise this power every day. What company executive would want thousands of people demanding a set of progressive agenda, every day with a legal threat of losing your business? Join me and I promise you a peaceful revolution. No need to go out in the streets, no need for first amendment zones, no arrests. You create a no buy zone for some selected Republican contributors such as Walmart, etc. Join me, please.
A political message from the Revolution for progressive legislation.
Here’s how we force congress to pass a progressive agenda. Companies do not like boycotts. I suggest you email these demands to Walmart, Wendy’s, Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Curves for Women health clubs, each big Republican contributors. Also include Eckerd, CVS, and Walgreens Pharmacy chains. You can send this to other companies as well.
Send this email to your friends and to others on political mailing lists. Thank you.
Send this text in email or fax to a company you can afford to boycott which either heavily supports Republicans or should know better that we need progressive legislative change.
We demand that your company executives get the Republican Party to hold a press conference and accede to these demands and then finally legislate and sign these into law. Until such a press conference happens and the legislation gets passed I will boycott your products.
We demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and hateful action to end a woman’s right to choose abortion or not.
We demand the resignation of Tom Delay.
We demand that the United States withdraw from Iraq.
We demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.
We also demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.
We also demand that the congress make all of a person’s earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar salary cap. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.
We demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to make social security solvent as well.
We also demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps, and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year..
We also call for the complete repeal of the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.
We also demand vote by mail throughout the United States of America. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color which happened electronicly and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Demand that your state implement vote by mail with ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials.
We demand Civil servants on every state payroll should keep track of voter registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We need to take the Republican Party out of the business of keeping track of voter registration and counting votes.
We demand States ban the secretary of state from engaging in politics especially acting as a campaign official for a presidential campaign.
______________________________________________________________________________
We do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation

We can stop the war in Iraq by boycotting the defense contractor General Electric corporation.
I want each and every person who wants to stop the War in Iraq to contact the defense contractor General Electric. Go to http://www.ge.com and send them email to the effect that you have decided
not to buy any GE products including Ovens, stoves, refrigerators, light bulbs, televisions, radios, telephones, video recorders, dvd recorders and players, etc.
UNTIL their company executives get the President of the United States aka THE CHIMP to hold a press conference announcing that he will withdraw all US Troops from Iraq, to get replaced by UN troops to defend Iraq until Iraq troops can defend their own country.
In addition to sending email from the web site you can make these demands of GE through their public relations officials. Please act polite when contacting them.
