Oregon Democrats, GOP join forces against independent candidates “The American political system is profoundly undemocratic. The two-party system perpetuates itself by seeking to exclude from the ballot all independent alternatives, especially those on the left. It does so through of a welter of election laws that impose arbitrary and prohibitive signature requirements for independent and third-party candidates, deadlines for filing nominating petitions that are designed to block rather than facilitate ballot access, and a corporate-controlled media that sy...

How to Build a Police State Based on National Security Caught spying on Americans, the Bush administration has begun a propaganda "blitz" to justify a secret program that we are told is for our own security. Of course, the program is so secret that Bush won't reveal any details and will only give a brief overview to a few loyal Congressional insiders.
