WAR PRESIDENT---MY ASS!!!

Racicot was quoted as " Senator Kerry crossed a grave line when he dared to suggest the replacement of America 's commander-in- chief at a time when America is at war," while implying that Kerry was a traitorous renegade. Just to remind the snide Racicot, Kerry happens to be a war hero. He has the medals to prove it. The Army doesn't award Purple Hearts out for catching syphilis, in some Mexican whorehouse, while guarding the skies of Texas from VC infiltrators. (text/plain)

The Passion and Zionism
Mazin Qumsiyeh

My family lives in Beit Sahur, the biblical Shepherds' Field. The church of Nativity in Bethlehem is about 700 yards from the house in Beit Sahour where I was born and the church where I was baptized. Many, but not all, Palestinians adopted Islam over the years, just as not all Palestinian Jews and Pagans became Christians. Despite the usual problems between minorities and majorities, we all coexisted.

Verfied Voting.org: Last Chance for a Fair Election
Peter J
2004-03-04 6:40 PM
FAIR ELECTIONS MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IN 2004, AFTER ALL
Our best, and possibly only, opportunity to require a voter-verifiable paper trail for electronic voting everywhere in the U.S. for the November 2004 election is "The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003." The House version (H.R. 2239) was introduced in May by Rep. Rush Holt. The Senate version (S. 1980) was introduced in December by Senator Bob Graham.
VerifiedVoting.org is in the midst of a campaign to contact every Senator as many times as possible to let them know how much we care about passing this bill. We have heard that the House bill may not move until the Senators are clear on which of the three voting bills (Clinton's S.1986, Boxer's S.2045, or Graham's S.1980) is gaining the most support.
It is important that GRAHAM's bill emerge as the obvious choice, or it is unlikely that we will have a paper trail by this election.
PLEASE take a moment to use the 1-800-839-5276 number and:
1) Call your Senator and ask their position on S. 1980. Tell them you support it, and ask them to co-sponsor.
2) Report the results of your calls to pass2239@verifiedvoting.org so they can update the data about the legislators.
Also: post this notice on any other blogs you go to.
If you need information on the voting issue or the bills go to http://www.verifiedvoting.org.
