- Reframing the Election Fraud Debate
  Posted by Damianmann from Alternet
  Sure, it'll be hard to make elections more transparent. But it's still more feasible than solving many of our other national problems.

  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  For Americans troubled by the prospect of federal agents eavesdropping on their phone conversations or combing through their Internet records, there is good news: A little-known board exists in the White House whose purpose is to ensure that privacy and civil liberties are protected in the fight against terrorism. Someday, it might actually meet.

- t r u t h o u t - Jason Leopold _ Bush Ignored 9/11 Warnings
  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  President Bush and Vice President Cheney have publicly stated that the top-secret domestic spying program Bush authorized in 2002 could have thwarted the 9/11 attacks had the controversial, and possibly illegal, measure been in effect prior to the terrorist strike on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Bush's and Cheney's comments have gone virtually unchallenged by reporters covering the spying story and by a majority of Democratic lawmakers critical of the issue. However, the reality is much different from what Bush and Cheney would have you believe. The fact of the matter is that the Bush administration ignored hard evidence from its top intelligence officials between April and September of 2001 about an impending attack by al-Qaeda on US soil. There's no chance that the National Security Agency's domestic wiretapping initiative would have saved the lives of 3,000 American citizens if an intelligence memo titled "Bin Laden determined to attack inside US" that President Bush received a month before 9/11 couldn't move Bush to take such threats seriously.

- White House Declines to Provide Storm Papers
  Posted by Damianmann from New York Times
  It seems like every time they're in trouble, it's a matter of national security, or a "confidential" matter. You can't get a straight answer from this White House on anything.

Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.

Black Accountability Project: DNC Color Divide

Yeah, especially if you are meaning still working within your political system although we don’t want to. I can think of several.
You could start with the U.S. must offically apologising for American Aboriginal genocide and than make the necessary changes to the educational system to wash out the colonial propaganda clotting American hearts and minds. Second, ALL of First Nations-U.S. are to be honoured and without undue delay. Next, the United States is to offically apologise for chattle slavery, genocide and systematic institutional racial bias. The U.S. must then return full sovereignty to Puerto Rico, Guam, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and promise to not try and re-take the island of Cuba.
Following all that there would need to be a restructuring of the entire political system and the acceptance of multiple parties including revamping the voting system without the Electoral College.
Without the former list of suggestions, the latter half is only cosmetic. Just my opinion.

If my vote counted, Florida 2000 would have been addressed. It still hasn’t. I’m still not convinced. Sorry.

It’s a strange thing because aboriginals DESERVE to be involved and respected.

I know the real history and it makes me sick. I’ve read Zinn. I’ve been on "Indian" reservations and seen the sqaulor. It’s shameful. This land is THEIR land…we ( not me literally…as I’m Irish American and my relatives served as indentured servants ) are robbers. The real criminals are long dead. The modern white is ignorant to the facts…But, they DO benefit from these crimes.
But, again, NOT voting gives them more power …and they thank you for not voting…as they thank the millions of others… who…if they voted, could remove them from power…
It’s that or violent revolution…which is fine with me. Apathy gets people nowhere…
except in the case of the government. It gets them everywhere ….and everything.
