Quote: "I think he's run the country into the ground economically, and he comes out with these crazy ideas like going to Mars and going to the moon," said Richard Bidlack, a 78-year-old retiree from Boonton, N.J., who says he voted for Bush in 2000.

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.

American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush
Kevin Phillips

Bush. He writes that the family's expertise has been in intelligence, energy, and national security -- three of the major enterprises of the twentieth century. In addition, Phillips argues that the family systematically used its social and financial influence to gain the White House. |

A former White House strategist, Mr. Phillips is a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times and NPR and writes for Harper’s and Time.

Why is our government lying to us
about what really happened?
Do you know:
- On September 9th the president had a war plan
on his desk to go into Afghanistan?
- The hijackers names were not on the passenger lists?
- There were up to 23 individually recorded warnings
from a total of 11 allies?
- FEMA agents were already in New York on Sept. 10th?
- Government officials were warned not to fly on 9/11?
- The debris at Ground Zero was removed without forensic examination, shipped to China and melted down?
- The Bush and bin Laden families have been
doing business together since the late 70s?
- The Bush administration tried to obstruct
the investigation from the start?
- This just begins to scratch the surface?

In her address to the World Social Forum in India earlier this year, Arundhati Roy picked a few bones with the world's only superpower. She is in good company. Most reasonable people would wish for a United States more enlightened and less frightening, and rejoice if the incumbent president decided to run for first man on Mars on a one-way ticket. But in her polemic Roy links the US to every evil under the sun and ends her tour de force of the human condition in the current world order ("Do turkeys enjoy Thanksgiving?", January 23) on a chilling note. "For these reasons," she writes, "we must consider ourselves at war."

WMD panel shouldn’t blame CIA, diplomat says
“The accountability for this war in Iraq does not lie with (CIA director) George Tenet and the intelligence community,” he said. “It resides with the president of the United States and his war Cabinet advisers.” While Wilson described himself as the Bush administration’s “public enemy No. 1” and was in Seattle campaigning for Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry, he carefully articulated a set of positions that was by no means rigidly antiwar. As a political appointee of the first Bush administration, he supported military action in the 1991 Gulf War and was the last U.S. official to meet with Saddam Hussein before the outbreak of those hostilities. And he contributed money to the Bush-Cheney campaign four years ago, he said.

Message from Gov. Howard Dean
Eleven months ago, when few people knew our campaign existed, I asked the Democratic Party leadership some fundamental questions:
Why were so many Democrats in Washington supporting George Bush's unilateral war in Iraq?
Why were they supporting No Child Left Behind?
Why were they voting for the president's reckless tax cuts?
I am still waiting for the answers. The American people deserve the answers.
Today, all my opponents are talking the talk. Even those who voted for the war now speak like they opposed it.
Those who voted for No Child Left Behind now criticize it.
And those who shrank from confrontation in the face of polls and pundits now compete to outdo each other in their condemnation of George W. Bush.
But in 2004, Democrats must decide: Who will stand up for you? And who will stand up against George W. Bush?
I believe only someone who has consistently and firmly stood for change -- even when it wasn't politically popular -- can truly lead this great struggle.
And I need your help today to raise the funds we need to
take back the Democratic Party and defeat George Bush:
Imagine 2005. Radical Republicans of the Bush-DeLay school will push their divisive agenda.
When that happens, who will stand up for you?
A Washington insider who shifts with every poll? Who cuts deals that sell out the interests of ordinary Americans, and who has spent decades collaborating with the special interests that fuel his campaigns?
Or someone from outside Washington, truly independent, and ready to do what's right? As President, I will stand up for you -- I won't just say it. You know I will do it -- because I have done it. And we can stand up for all Americans if we stand together.
The Washington insiders are spending millions in paid advertisements to try to persuade voters that they'll stand up to the system they've been part of for years. Many of these ads will attack us.
It's extremely important that we go into the coming primaries with the resources we need.
Can I count on your help today?
Thank you for everything you do.
Governor Howard Dean, M.D. |

Sept. 11 Commission Interviews Rice
Condoleezza Rice met with the commission privately for several hours Saturday at the White House to discuss what the administration knew before the catastrophe, said Timothy Roemer, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. He declined to give details of the meeting. "I thought the tone and level of cooperation and the exchange was productive," Roemer said. But he added, "I strongly underscore and underline the need" to have Rice and Sandy Berger, national security adviser under former President Clinton, testify in public.
AP Poll Notes Decline in Support for Bush
For the first time, more voters in this poll's two years of tracking the question said they would definitely vote against Bush than said they would definitely vote for him. The public perception of Bush and of the nation's economy slumped in the early February poll. Just over four in 10 said the country is headed in the right direction, while just over half said the country was on the wrong track. People were about evenly split on this question in early January.

| In a win for energy independence and good jobs, California, New York, and Pennsylvania have all announced initiatives this week to invest in energy alternatives.
The Apollo Alliance is working to bring key constituencies together in these states to build a better energy future.
The Apollo Alliance joined California State Treasurer Phil Angelides as he announced a 1.5 billion dollar investment in state pension funds to go towards clean and alternative energy technology. Angelides's announcement comes two weeks after he participated in the Apollo Alliance’s release of “New Energy for America ,” a jobs study detailing the economic benefits of Apollo. At Apollo’s press conference Angelides stated “I am well aware that the way in which we invest capital can shape not only the contours of our economy, but also the future of our communities, our society, and our environment for decades to come.” The Apollo Alliance is working with labor leaders in California . California Labor Federation Exec. Secy. Treas. Art Pulaski, also attending the press conference, stated “The California Apollo Project is about our future,” said Pulaski. “We need strong public investment in real job creation, not corporate tax breaks that create long term deficits.”
On the East Coast, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton called for public investment in renewable energy on the scale of the Apollo space program, noting that “significant federal investments in the space program” and other initiatives have brought significant benefits to the United States . She noted that Japan and Europe “have made big commitments to advancing these technologies with significant public investment... we must do the same.”
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania Governor Rendell announced several progressive energy initiatives for Pennsylvania . He proposed a new “green tax holiday” for purchases of energy efficient appliances. In addition, the Governor’s budget extended the Pennsylvania Energy Harvest an investment initiative that provides financial tools to encourage clean and renewable energy projects. Over the last several years, Pennsylvania has doubled the amount of green energy that they use. This week, Governor Rendell directed state agencies to make 20 percent of the state’s energy needs met by new energy technology.Apollo is working with leaders around the country to bring about a better energy future.
