Quotes of the Day
It used to be that the American public seemed to prefer divided government; if one party controlled the White House, the other major party controlled at least one of the houses of Congress. But as Robert Kuttner underscores in his article, "Stranglehold: The Right-wing Push for a One Party State" in the February American Prospect, not only are Democrats in the minority everywhere, but under House Majority Leader Tom Delay's parliamentary dictatorship we are on the verge of a "near-permanent, partisan lock on government" that would guarantee the "completion of the Bush radical-right project: the dismantling of social investment, regulation, progressive taxation, separation of church and state, racial justice and trade unionism."

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 Wicked 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

Description:
 From Borders Books & Music in Washington, DC, former Republican White House strategist Kevin Phillips discusses four generations of the Bush family from World War I through the current President George W. 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.

Author Bio: Kevin Phillips has been a political and economic commentator for more than three decades. 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. His books include “The Politics of Rich and Poor,” “Cousin’s Wars,” “Arrogant Capital,” “William McKinley” and “Wealth and Democracy.”

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?

Jan Schneider for Congress in 2004 Website
In 2002, in the  Florida 13
th Congressional District, we came within 5% of winning.   In a district with only 30% Democratic registration, against world-renowned Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, with her $3½ million war chest -- we made it an election, not a coronation.  We earned the endorsements of all four major newspapers in the district.  And we managed to capture 45.2% of the vote!
