Take the War Into the PA Primary Carl Davidson 2008-02-14 12:51 AM

The PA primary is pivotal for the mass insurgency using the Obama campaign to stop the war. Our Gov is already making news by suggesting white folks in this state don't care for Black candidates. This piece was written with the PA primary in mind, but offers a way for antiwar activists not happy with any candidate to enter the fray and make themselves heard nonetheless. .

Friar Louis Cappio must live Cesar Benjamin 2008-01-06 4:31 AM
The Brazilian semi-arid is immense: 912 thousand square km. It is populous: 22 million people in rural areas. It is the most rainy of the planet: 750 mm / year, on average, which corresponds to 760 billion cubic meters of rainfall per year. It is not true, therefore, that there is no water there. The nature provides it, but it is wasted: the waters evaporate quickly, under the strong sun, or go soon away, running on the crystalline waterproof ground. (text/plain)

Looks like a good number of antiwar youth have entered the electoral arena whether folks here think it a waste of time or not.

The Case for Socialized Medicine in the United States, and the Struggle to Achieve It Steven Argue 2008-01-04 4:36 PM

The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee blasted insurance giant CIGNA for failing to approve a liver transplant one week earlier for 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, who tragically died just hours after CIGNA relented and agreed to the procedure following a massive national outcry. “CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro called the final outcome ‘a horrific tragedy that demonstrates what is so fundamentally wrong with our health care system today. Insurance companies have a stranglehold on our health. Their first priority is to make profits for their shareholders – and the way they do that is by denying care." "It is simply not possible to organize major protests every time a multi-billion corporation like CIGNA denies care that has been recommended by a physician," DeMoro said. “Having insurance is not the same as receiving needed care. We need a fundamental change in our healthcare system that takes control away from the insurance giants and places it where it belongs – in the hands of the medical professionals, the patients, and their families."

FYI: Nader throws support to Edwards Repost by CarlD 2008-01-01 5:39 PM

While I'd go for Kucinich or Richardson in round one, it's interesting that Nader goes for the candidate closer to him on strategic matters, and also professionally as an anti-corporate trial lawyer, than those closer to him tactically on the issues of the day, such as the war, or closer to those in at least part of his base, the Greens who like Kucinich, such as myself. But then I never liked how Nader played footsie with Pat Buchanan on trade, either. I never blamed him, though, for Gore's defeat, since I believe our vote belongs to each of us, and not any political bloc, and the candidates' task is to win it, if they can. Anyway, by that logic, one should blame Monica Moorehead, the Workers World Party candidate. She got double the amount of votes in Florida than Bush's supposed margin over Gore. (image/jpeg)

Oprah vs War: What Does It Mean for Us? Repost by CarlD 2007-12-10 5:13 PM

[Note from CarlD: Interesting piece. I think it shows the potential for UFPJ and others to intervene in EVERY 2008 campaign--not to endorse anyone, but to make opposition to the war both 'legitimate' and the central focus. Time to start the planning to set up 'Peace and Justice Voters 2008' groups everywhere that don't belong to any party to get the job done.] . (image/jpeg)

Tom Hayden on How the Peace Movement Can Win in 2008 Repost by CarlD 2007-12-04 1:52 PM
Note from Carl Davidson: A good discussion piece on the tactics of independent intervention. The Northern IL group Tom mentions is the Peace and Justice Voters project of Chicagoan Against War & Injustice, which train 1000 deputy registrars and register 20,000 new voters, including 5000 high school students in 2004, and in 2006 put the war on the ballot in Chicago, getting 800,000 votes for 'Out Now'--81 to 19 percent--all without endorsing any candidate or party. All the lists and training benefited local neighborhood peace and justice groups, building them, not the Democrats. . (text/plain)
