"Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won you earn it and win it in every generation." -- Coretta Scott King (1927-2006)
The struggle for a representative democracy where the people, and not just the corporations and special interest groups, are heard is real. Throughout our nation our elected representatives are beholden to donors with deep pockets, and, most often, the needs of the many are brushed aside to accommodate the needs of the wealthy elite.
For those who think that there is no hope; there is. The Clean Elections system is dynamically changing the landscape of corruption in American politics.
It's time to get this movement in gear. Contact your local and Federal representatives to demand a Clean Elections initiative.
Here is a sample letter.
FIRST LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE RECEIVES PRIMARY CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Clancy Jayne is First Participating Clean Elections Candidate to Receive Primary Funding
PHOENIX (March 7, 2006) – The Citizens Clean Elections Commission (Commission), the state agency that administers the Citizens Clean Elections Act, announced today that Mr. Clancy Jayne has been certified to receive his primary election funding for the 2006 election cycle as a participating Clean Elections candidate. Jayne is the first legislative candidate to receive campaign funding and will collect $11,945 for the primary election.
“It is exciting to see that the process continues to work, allowing more candidates to seek office who might not have been able to” said Todd Lang, executive director of the Clean Elections Commission. “Mr. Jayne did the work as prescribed in the statute, and will now have funding for his campaign without the task of finding private donors being the determining factor.” To date, the Commission has approved a total of 111 participating candidate application – 90 legislative candidate applications and 21 statewide candidate applications. These candidates are eligible to collect the required $5 contributions to be certified as “participating” Clean Elections candidates for the 2006 election cycle. (Source)

I was reading one of Neo's older posts and I came across your contention about Geneva rights.
"Our government is not affording them the provisions of the Geneva Convention precisely because these “war fighters” are criminals."
"---- If this is true, than why does our government treat these men as criminals and not captured soldiers? "
Since our government has said to your face, that we are giving them Geneva Conventions regardless of the protests from me and others, it is rather disingenous to say that we are not giving them Geneva Convention treatments, now isn't it?
"The notion that we can fight all of the terrorists in the world with the force of our military is absolutely absurd! Our country cannot afford such an endeavor."
Funny, that's what Chamberlain said at Munich, to avoid war with Hitler.
Give me a break!
This is not World War 2, Bush is not Roosevlet, and Sadam is not Hitler.
Your responce is unequivilqual. There is absolutely no comparision to the War in Iraq and World War 2. In fact, President Bush did not even bother to declare war on Iraq.
Additionally, if we were using the Geneva Convetion, than why haven't these criminals had a trial or military tribunal yet?
It's because we are not abiding by the Geneva Convention and we have not declared war.
I apologize in advance for appearing acrid in my last response. I think the reason for my sharp tone is that you've gone way off topic.
Please contact me via email if you want to discuss an issue outside of the thread of a particular post.
You'll find my email under my profile.
Thank you.
