Nancy Pelosi Votes To Continue Criminal War In Afghanistan-A War Criminal Representing SF

by repost
Fri, Mar 25, 2011 7:57PM
Democratic Congressional leader and SF representative Nancy Pelosi voted to continue the criminal war in Afghanistan on March 17. Those members of the Democratic party who continue to support this war criminal are themselves responsible for this US imperialist adventure which as cost the lives of tens of thousands of Afghan people and the US soldiers who are used as cannon fodder. Pelosi is a war criminal who is keeping this war going. She and her fellow Democrats who voted for this along with the Obama crew have blood on their hands.

§Vote Peace & Freedom or Green: for peace & against nuclear power
by ^
Sat, Mar 26, 2011 3:29PM
When you vote for evil, you get evil. When you voted for warmonger Obama, Pelosi and all the rest of the Democrat-Republicans, you proudly announced you knew you were voting for evil. Nothing can get better if you keep voting for evil. There is nothing lesser about evil. The Democrat and Republican parties are evil. If enough people vote for Peace & Freedom or Green, we are at least a threat to the twin war parties. If even more people vote Peace & Freedom or Green, we can win some offices. It is up to you. Both Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party oppose the attack on Libya, the illegal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the bombings of Afghanistan and Pakistan and all the rest of the war machine. They also oppose the death penalty, support gay marriage, support taxing the rich, and much more. THEY BOTH OPPOSE NUCLEAR POWER AND correctly view all supporters of nuclear power as being criminally insane. The Democrat and Republican Parties support nuclear power as do crackpots claiming to be socialists, but in reality are criminally insane. The debate is long over and has nothing to do with economic systems. Nuclear substances radiate and cause cancer from mining the uranium, etc to nuclear power plants' waste to the power outage that caused the current nuclear crisis in Japan that is now making Japan a nuclear wasteland. There is a high cancer rate around every nuclear power plant and nuclear weapons research lab, such as in Livermore, as well as all uranium mining areas. A power outage can be caused by many things, not just an earthquake. That is why our anti-nuclear movement was strong enough to stop new nuclear power plants in the 1970s. When you voted for Obama, you voted for a long time nuclear power promoter, so you were not serious about change. THE ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANITY AND THE EARTH IS SOLAR POWER, WIND POWER AND TIDAL POWER, all clean, renewable sources of energy, and very viable right now. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power

Peace & Freedom Party:
http://www.peaceandfreedom.org/home/
http://www.peaceandfreedom.org/home/about-us/platform/full-platform
Platform on environment:
Our goal is a society that is in harmony with nature as it is in harmony with its own people.
We therefore favor:
Planning for urban and regional environment based on principles of sound ecosystems management.
Create public open spaces in all communities.
Tighter regulation of pesticides, herbicides, industrial wastes and genetically modified foods to protect human food, air and water, employees in the workplace, and species habitat. No release of genetically engineered or transgenic organisms into the wild. No patenting of life forms.
A multi-source energy system, development of solar technology and other renewable, non-polluting energy sources. Eliminate nuclear power plants. End fossil fuel dependence.
Public ownership of public utilities.
Protect species habitat such as old-growth forests to preserve biodiversity.
Massive development of free public transportation.
International trade agreements must guarantee the protection of the environment in all participating countries.
End environmental racism, including the immediate cessation of nuclear testing and toxic waste dumping on reservation lands, the disproportionate creation of landfills in poor communities of color and eliminate the mass development of maquiladora plants.

Peace and International Justice

The drive for greater profits by multi-national corporations which direct U.S. foreign policy is a major cause of war. We stand for peace between nations and the right of all peoples to self-determination. We support an ongoing socialist transformation everywhere. We therefore call for:
The U.S. to renounce nuclear first strike, and take the initiative toward global disarmament by eliminating all of its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
No U.S. intervention anywhere. End all support and aid to repressive regimes and all military and police training aid everywhere. End efforts to destabilize foreign governments. End U.S.-directed economic warfare against other countries. Abolish the CIA, NSA, AID and other agencies for interference inother countries' internal affairs. Withdraw all U.S. troops and weapons from all other countries.
Stop all U.S. arms exports and trade.
Dissolve all military pacts.
Convert from military to peaceful production; reallocate the resulting "peace dividend" for social benefit.
Abolish the Selective Service System.
No weapons in space.


Green Party:
http://www.cagreens.org/
Green Party of California sympathizes with Japanese people, expresses concern for safety of California, supports dismantling all nuclear power plants and shift to 'greener, safer power sources'
