Buisnesses that are on the edge of going broke,
Don't they have " Pyro Hit Men" to take them out for the insurance? arsonian hit men come in after a disaster to
clean up,( I'm thinking like a neo-con now), or maybe they just get taxpayer money for the damage, neo-con idea for sure

I just saw the Congressional Black Caucus speaking on CNN. God bless 'em!!!

I had called my (dem) Rep's office a couple of weeks ago, and said "I'm so tired of the Congressional Black Caucus doing all the heavy lifting in this party!" Well, I have just finished calling my Rep's office again, and letting off steam. I said I was told yesterday how there is nothing they can do because the RW won't take charge. Today I said, "I just saw the CBC speaking out, and I'm sick of them having to carry the weight of all the Dems who won't risk speaking out. If she can't find the courage to say what needs to be said, and join with other Dems to take action, then she needs to walk out of that office and let somebody in who *can* stand up." The woman on the phone said, "We're just here to take messages, and can't say what *we* feel, but I'm telling you, I agree with you."

So I ask all of you, pleeeeez, call your Reps and Senators, and let 'em know, in no uncertain terms, what you expect. We need to speak for those who can't now. If you don't know the local numbers, here is the toll-free number for the Capitol Hill Switchboard:
1-888-355-3588

If I'm preaching to the choir, and you've already made your calls, pleeeez forgive...... I've just reall had it.

Thanks, all.

I'm no longer capable of rational response or observation. Watching Bush on the tube is beyond sickening. This empty shell of a human being is disgusting. First, donate cash,goods,time,whatever you have that may help. Then, #2 Superwoman has it right, pound the phone lines, emails etc of every elected official and MSM outlet reachable. Demand full accountability and disclosure. Put so much heat on the MSM that there is no way of spinning this. Those of us who visit this site and others like it are not the people who need enlightenment. We have already reached understanding and awareness. We see the dangers. Others must be pushed towards the truth.

Bush's & the GOP's America! They have all the power, one-party rule, and this is the result...

Disgraceful!!! The Bush administration prepared for this, the same way they prepared for 9/11. That's TWICE!!!!!!!! Bush was president for 9/11, wasn't he???

Yes, I'm pointing fingers!

The best move yet by the President in sending in Lieutenant General Russell Honore’. I was under his command in First Army during the train up of the troops going to Iraq. Great Man, Great Choice. He will take control of that situation in NO and get some things done. The training his leadership provided for the troops has saved the lives of many Iraqi Security Forces and American Troops in Iraq. He will do good things in NO.

Big request here, for all of you, pleez.

As I mentioned, I called members of the Congressional Black Caucus today, to thank them for standing up and speaking truth to power.

I'm very DISTRESSED to report that their offices are getting hammered by hate calls, and yes, death threats. One staffer cried when I thanked her, and said the death threats are hard to take, and I was the first one who called to thank them. Another staffer said I was only the second supportive call they'd had. These people are really under fire, and I ask you to take a few minutes and please call and let them know we support them, pleeeez.

The people I heard speaking (may not be all of them, as CNN cut away) are:
Rep. Elijah Cummings
Rep. Jesse Jackson
Rep. Carolyn Kirkpatrick
Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was there, didn't hear her speak.

Again, the toll-free number is: 1-888-355-3588. Please, I'm really pleading here. We finally have some legislators standing for justice, they are getting hammered, and we need to let them know they have support.

Thank you very much, and please spread this word!

Please read my post on the new video on bush
see if any one has an idea to help me help someone

It looks like Iraq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks WP... I don't know what to say to, or do for my people. We are all blocked out of the possibilities to bring about humane solutions. We are all blocked out of the possibility that we may prevent the next escalation of chaotic "terror and fear" upon our people. I don't know what to say to you or to my many friends here anymore neither. This is the endgame and no one can see or understand it.

People are still distracted, faithful and believing, chasing that colorful American propaganda ball of yarn of what they were taught to believe, of what once was their land of freedom, equality and opportunity. A grand orchestration of chaos, fear, confusion and division, while their rights, property and sustanance are brutally stolen from under them.

I don't know what sort of advice to give to my people because they won't hear it. My people will not believe even in the face of death. But please my friends prepare now. Prepare to be entirely on your own with nothing but your morality to guide you.

Get out of the cities now. Make a list and prepare a pack of only the life sustaining necessities you can carry on your back. Be prepared to be displaced, upon a moments notice, at all times. Go far into the rural lands and begin anew. Far, far, far from the controlled and military occupied "security" of the cities, with the knowledge that you may need to move again very quickly, at any moment. Form very small groups of people you absolutely trust with your life and maintain symbiotic, protective relationships with them. Keep your mouth shut. Support your local small community economies while foregoing the corporate that will kill you. Grow your own food, carry your own water, generate your own power from natures gifts, steam, wind and solar. Learn to fashion your own shelter, tools and clothing. Get a bicycle and several spare sets of tires. Did you know that no bicycle tires are manufactured in our country? Learn to eat less and depend only upon what you can directly provide for yourself and your family. Find sources of fresh, clean water not guarded by a man with a gun. Listen to your instinct and intuition, it is knowledge and your god-given reasoning powers, that which will save your life many times. When it gets really bad, and you will know this years from now when it is... Be in the company of fresh, clean water at least three days walking distance from the nearest desperate people.

I love you all. Go in peace. Goodbye.

I just made my first 2 calls to Congress. First, to the Black Caucus to thank them. Secondly, to Sen. Harkin from Iowa. I'm still shaking as I gave my spiel to the voice mail. I informed them it is no surprise about Bush and the Republicans destroying this country but I am SICK of the spineless Democrats doing nothing and saying nothing about the hurricane non-response and everything else since the election. I said as a life-long Democrat they shouldn't be expecting me to back them. Unbelievable.

...one more thing to add to the to-do list: give some money to the Red Cross Hurricane 2005 Relief.

Most fulfilling $ I've ever spent.

#11 Doodles, thank you for making those calls. It's always harder the first time. ^_^ I'm glad you gave Harkin hell! They need to hear it.

For anyone interested......The Congressional Black Caucus news briefing is on right now on C-Span1, is a little over an hour long, and will repeat again at 1:30 am EST.

Right now on C-span2, for 5 hours, is Rep. McKinney's 911 hearing.

If this isn't a wake-up call for the democrats, nothing will be. They're a bunch of pussies. Pure and simple. Will a single one (outside the congressional black caucus) have the spine to stand up and start criticizing the Bush response?

If I hear "Where is the outrage" one more time... It's right here, pal.And it's going to be at Satan's shiny white doorstep on September 24th.

Bush is God! Bush is Jesus! Bush is the Holy One! Let us praise him! Now that he is amongst us, now that he has flown over the ravaged city, we will be blessed. Oh, thank you O Holy Bush-Jesus, blessed Messiah!

Modern C #16

You have given us a direct quote from Pat Robertson when he first discovered that some large federal agencies are directing funds to him.

We shall have to wait and see whether Robberson spends it on the N.O. disaster or on the assassination of the president of Venezuela.

Could someone post the email information address for reps. and sens. This is genocide and these thugs should be removed from public office and held in jail until trial, that includes Pat Robertson. Heard Fidel Castro is sending doctors, anybody heard that?

To Holly:

Yes, you are correct, at least as far as I know Castro's Cuba is sending doctors (and Cuba has good doctors and a more human health care system than the U.S.) but I am not sure if the federal government has agreed one way or the other as to whether or not it will ACCEPT the help, same with Venezuelas's offer, I don't know if the arrogant fascists in charge of our "government" will accept the help or be too proud, we'll see. I know the government of El Salvador has offered to send some troops to help keep the peace but I don't think the Bushitlerites have accepted this aid yet either. It does however show that Cuba's government and Venezuela's government seem to possess considerably more Christian values than the pseudoChristian neo-con artists running this current train wreck of an administration.
