Canada Being Assimilated Into a U.S. Dominated North American Security Perimeter - by Dana GabrielThe perimeter security deal is being sold as vital to improving the flow of trade and travel across the border.

Why Would They Do That Exactly? - by Sudhama RanganathanThere are as many unique and varied political views, as there are people themselves. No matter how deep the divide there is almost some issue most people can find some agreement on. No matter how alike in philosophy or perspective, there is usually at least one issue people might not see exactly eye to eye on. Differences between sincere public servants are good, especially when it comes to legislating, because that means it will bring together different views on a wide range of issues, he...

Can you imagine naming Bay Bridge after Election Frauder, Murderer? - by Register Peace & Freedom or GreenIt is not enough that the eastern span has taken 24 years and counting to replace, and it is filled with deadly bolts that must be replaced. Now, the California Legislature is proposing to name the western span after the worst mayor in San Francisco and a proud pro-landlord, pro-gambling assemblyperson, Democrat Willie Brown, whose last fling in San Francisco was to perpetrate election fraud in every election from 1995 and every election thereafter, including the 49er Stadium Swindle election...

Statewide Campaign Launched to Defeat Governor Brown's $54.1 Billion Water Tunnels Project  - by Dan BacherThe State has a history of underestimating the costs of major water projects. In 1991 Santa Barbara County voters approved the Coastal Aqueduct at an estimated cost of $270 million. Thus far the aqueduct has cost nearly $1.7 billion and has proven to be unnecessary to meet the County's water needs.
"California ratepayers and taxpayers should expect the same bad deal with the twin-tunnels," said Carolee Krieger, executive director of the California Water Impact Network. "Just like the aqued... Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2013 11:34AM
