Comparing the two videos:  Obama’s "yes we can" to McCain "Audacity of Despair" was very revealing – McCain’s tag line: "Like Hope, but Different" was hysterical.  Truthfully though, while I thought that the McCain parody video above was pretty funny, the reality of ‘100 years of war’ is Not a joke, esp. not to people who are killed in such actions.  You can check out additional information re: the cost of the Iraqi occupation at:  http://lessjobsmorewars.com/
Another diary:  The Only Issue is (Still) Iraq – discusses how "health care," "mortgage crisis," "rising gas costs," "the environment," and "taxes" all are connected to the quagmire known as Iraq.

The latest Robert Greenwald documentary:  http://warongreed.org/ is a must see video.

A CEO, being paid $51,000/hour is taxed at a lesser rate (percentage wise) than a "worker bee" earning less than $50,000/year. Corporate loopholes, wealth transfers – ‘Reverse Robin Hood’: where money from the poor & middle class is given to the super rich -- etc., combined with Bush’s give-away of our national resources to corporate cronies all contribute to the bankrupting of this nation.

The primary reason I support John Edwards is that he fights passionately for the dignity / rights of workers and against entrenched corporate interest.

George W. Bush will be speaking at the Miami-Dade Community College graduation at the Kendall Campus on April 28th at 3pm.  Ironically, April 28th has been designated National Impeachment Day and thousands of Floridians from across the state will be staging an "unwelcoming party"—see:  rejectbushmiami.com to declare: "we the people, reject the Bush agenda of endless wars:  IMPEACH Bush and Cheney NOW!!!"

Unfortunately, the progressive/peace groups planning to protest Bush's April 28 Miami Commencement Address have run into difficulty...

In light of all the news regarding the effects of global warming, see:
Cities at Risk of Rising Sea Levels, Polar Bear SOS,etc. it is simply outrageous that the Senate GOP Says No to Al Gore-Global Warming Concert at Capitol

Note that the concert won't cost taxpayers anything, since Live Earth and the Alliance for Climate Protection will reimburse the Capitol Police for the cost of security during the concert.

Below is a web site re: renting solar panels which will enable individuals the chance to adopt green energy without an enourmous initial investment.

Doesn't 'The buck stops with Lynndie'?  Apparently not, according to the 90 senators who voted overwhelmingly (90-9) to stand solidly against torture.

Using the so called 'Pink Slip' demonstration as a model, I came up with a 'Help Wanted' Ad protest. It's available on my blog'Help Wanted'Protest Ideas.

It would be wonderful if we could use this idea and organize an anti-war protest during Bush's commencement addresses.  See: this diary.
