This Looks Like " Just The Beginning "!

 

In This era, There Is a Dangerous Tension Between Millions of American Patriots ( citizens ) & What The President Can Handle; given his all to obvious Presidential Stance that translates to his Agenda Objectives. Now is the time when Peacefull Demonstrations, Internet Petition signings,ect.

We need to make our #s strong and keep The Pressure, as much we can bring to bear on This White House before it is able to distract us with some legal maneuvering, or worse; Events of warlike nature. Which is possibly the last card to be played.Let us Not Forget, or exclude the unbelievable; which would be of an Emergency or Wartime Sabotage. Nothing like an alleged Radical Attack or A Threat of an Impending Terrorist Act.

This Scenario is one a 1/2 Dozen I could come up with as possible's that would cause more American military & probably Iraqi civilian kill stats and Distract The Congress and enough Key Legislative Pressure. Lets make his escape from the United States Constitutional Arm of Justice. Thank You and Peace In All Things, GOD Bless One  and All ......Neo

18 Peacemakers Busted at Giuliani and Hillary Offices and No Original Reporting From The Register

by David Goodner

Eighteen peace activists were arrested in Des Moines, Iowa Thursday for trespassing inside the campaign offices of presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, according to the Associated Press.

Both the New York Times and the Huffington Post picked up the AP story. The protest is the top story this morning over at the KCCI Channel 8 homepage, and their video coverage last night and this morning was exceptional.

The Des Moines Register ran the AP story Friday morning, but was apparently too busy for any original reporting about a major protest in their own backyard.

The Des Moines Register should fix that today by doing some original reporting in time for the weekend edition. Kathy Kelly, a 2-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and several others are scheduled to be arraigned in Polk County this morning.

Those arrested Thursday at Giuliani’s campaign office are:

Nick Kinkel, 19, Des Moines, Iowa

Mickey Davis, 16, Waukee, Iowa

Joy First, 53, Madison, Wisconsin

Jeff Leys, 43, Chicago, Illinois

Dan Pearson, 26, Chicago, Illinois

Suzanne Sheridan, 31, Chicago, Illinois

Ed Bloomer, 60, Des Moines, Iowa

Ron Durham, 26, Chicago, Illinois

Kathy Kelly, 54, Chicago, Illinois

Elton Davis, 45, Des Moines, Iowa

Those arrested at Hillary’s office Thursday are:

Renee Espeland, 46, Des Moines, Iowa

Robert Braam, 51, Manhaton, Illinois

Chrissy Kirchoefer, 30, Marseilles, Illinois

David Goodner, 26, Iowa City, Iowa

Mona Shaw, 56, Des Moines, Iowa

Chris Guant, 51, Grinnell, Iowa

Brian Terrell, 51, Maloy, Iowa

Farah Mokhtareizadeh, 24, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our campaign, Seasons of Discontent: A Presidential Occupation Project, is demanding that all presidential candidates agree to:

  • A complete withdrawal of U.S. military forces and private contractors from Iraq and Afghanistan within 100 days of assuming the office of President of the United States;
  • A complete halt to any and all military actions against Iraq and Iran;
  • Reparations and full funding for the reconstruction of Iraq;
  • Work to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine while ensuring security for Israel and justice for Palestine;
  • Publicly commit to oppose the use of U.S. military forces against Iran, Pakistan or any other opening front in the “war on terror.”;
  • Publicly commit to dismantle most of the U.S. nuclear arsenal
  • Full funding for veterans health care
  • Full funding for the Common Good in the U.S.- rebuild our education and health care systems; job training programs and livable wages for all Americans; universal health care for all; rebuild our country’s inner cities and rural communities; and initiate a comprehensive campaign on the scale of a new Tennessee Valley Authority and Rural Electrification Project of the Great Depression era to create affordable, safe and sustainable alternative forms of energy and energy consumption; and for other vital social programs.
  • Repeal NAFTA and CAFTA and implement fair trade agreements, foreign aid, and other foreign policies that give a preferential option to the poor.

Climate Change will devastate Impoverish

 

Countries and The Ongoing Relife Programs

 

Program Details: Climate Change

Mercy Corps is preparing for climate change impacts in its global operations in over 32 countries. The agency accepts the Stern Report findings that climate change threatens the life support systems for all people on our planet by disrupting water access, food production and health.

Climate change will increase poverty and conflict in the countries and communities where Mercy Corps works. It is critical to address this paramount challenge on an immediate and ongoing basis in everything we do.

The agency is taking steps to prepare for the impacts of climate change by strengthening and expanding environmental programs, all of which will be impacted by climate change. These include agroforestry, ecotourism, environmental governance and natural resource management.

Mercy Corps also seeks to set an example in being climate responsible: the agency in assessing its carbon footprint to become carbon neutral. It is also designing a green building for its American headquarters, which will include an educational center focusing on issues including Mercy Corps' mission and how it is impacted by climate change.

New partnerships are being forged with universities and researchers to develop a methodology for producing actionable information from climate change data. This information will be integrated with conflict analysis and mitigation tools to predict conflict trends and develop recommended mitigation policies.

The Case For Impeachment & lets not Forget GW Bush

Published on Tuesday, November 6, 2007 by USA Today

House Tied In Knots Over Resolution To Impeach Cheney

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, is trying to impeach Vice President Cheney for what he describes as “high crimes and misdemeanors” before the invasion of Iraq.1106 10 1

Right after the proposal was read on the House floor this afternoon, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer stepped forwarded and tried to convince lawmakers to table the bill.

“Impeachment is not on our agenda. We have some major priorities. We need to focus on those,” Hoyer told Fox News.

Update at 3:39 p.m. ET: We thought that the vote to table was over — the clock said 0:00 — but lawmakers are still switching things around and Kucinich is within a few votes of getting his bill to come up for a vote.

Update at 3:43 p.m. ET: At least 149 Republicans have voted in favor of considering the impeachment resolution. Hoyer’s motion, which would have blocked a vote, looks like its going to fail by at least 31 votes.

Update at 3:53 p.m. ET: The 15-minute vote began at 2:53 p.m. ET. It’s been an hour, and they’re still voting. The tally stands at 170-242 right now. Hoyer needed 218 votes to push the bill off the agenda. He’s 72 votes short.

Update at 4:02 p.m. ET: Hoyer’s motion failed 251-162. (Roll Call) The House is now voting on whether to vote on whether the resolution should be sent to the Judiciary Committee.

Update at 4:25 p.m. ET: The vote to decide to vote (yes, you read that correctly) just ended. By a 218-194 margin, the House has to vote on whether to send the resolution to the Judiciary Committee. That’s happening right now.

Update at 4:30 p.m. ET: Perhaps we should pause to explain. When most Republicans unexpectedly — and on orders of GOP leadership, the AP is reporting — switched sides and voted against tabling the measure, they essentially forced Democrats to keep talking about it on the floor. Tabling the measure would have killed it.

Debate over Cheney’s impeachment is in direct opposition to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s wishes. She has repeatedly said an impeachment of Cheney or President Bush is off the table. Thus, failing to table this measure is a essentially a jab in Pelosi’s ribs.

“We’re going to help them out, to explain themselves,” Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, told the AP of the impeachment’s supporters. “We’re going to give them their day in court.”

Update at 4:32 p.m. ET: The House just voted, 218-194, to send the resolution to the Judiciary Committee. That should end today’s debate — but it does keep the resolution at least technically alive.
