If we are really going to make an honest effort at change (and our survival depends on it), then we need each other. Let's get together, talk, share our ideas and then support each other in taking action. CHILDREN WELCOME!

Pro-War Diane Feinstein, What Are The Alternatives?
Feinstein herself has directly profiteered from the U.S. imposed misery she voted for in Iraq. Her husband, Richard Blum, is a billionaire investor that together with CEO Ronald Tutor own investment companies that hold 75% of the voting stock in a company called Perini. On March 12, 2004 Perini was awarded a $500,000,000 contract for rebuilding the electrical infrastructure of southern Iraq. So Feinstein is profiting from the U.S. bombing of the Iraqi infrastructure as well as its inefficient...

Sam Farr's Town Hall in Santa Cruz: Is the problem Farr or the system?
While attendees brought up a myriad of issues, the people's concern for the U.S. Bombings and invasions of other countries overwhelmed the dialog. This meeting testified to the disconnect between federal Democrats and their constituencies. Farr did sign the Declaration of Peace, but did not offer other hopes to end U.S. Driven war. He claimed consistently, “The Republicans have the majority,” and, thus, the Democrats, and what he supports, is squelched by the all powerful Republicans....
