Quotes of the Day
“This is a great day for democracy in Florida, especially for the 600,000 people who have fully completed all terms of probation, incarceration, or parole, but are nevertheless denied the right to vote -- the defining right in our democracy. With so much at stake, it is only fair that the plaintiffs have their day in court. This decision gives them that chance -- a chance that they have never had -- to prove their right to go to the polls and have a voice in their own government,” explains Jessie Allen, lead attorney for the plaintiffs and Associate Counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice.

News & Commentary
Things will come to a head in this country before the next election - all of the talk in the wind lately of what the administration will do to create a military government and scrap the constitution, if there's another terrorist attack. My strong belief is that this administration "let" the WTC attack happen to allow themselves the leeway to go forward with the grab for Afghan gas, poppies and Iraqi oil, let alone the "Patriot" Act. I watched the economy tank after Bush took office, I think because of people's fear. Then I've seen Bush dismantle programs and let his buddies pick up the pieces, just like the crumbling of the Soviet Union. Doesn't it seem strange that the head of the "free" world is the son of the CIA chief as is the president of Russia the ex-KGB chief and in the middle east Sharon is the ex-chief of Mossad? Each of these 3 bums are using the same tactics to consolidate power, in their respective fiefdoms: Chechnya, Palestine and GWB's Taliban, all bringing fear so the Great Leader can offer his protection racket. - Gary Cook, Editor, Progressive Daily News.
