Take your voice to DC. Over 700 people were killed and injured in one just one day, just a few days ago, in Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have suffered due to cuts on the funding for levy construction and management, in New Orleans. Funding that was diverted to Bush's war against Iraq. Let our government know that you do not support the path that they have taken our country onto.Click

........Bush ignores prognostications of natural calamity but listens very hard for the possibilities of social calamity. Retaining corporate power and profit is Bush’s reason for being.

That’s why Bush and Co. reflexively
