Prosecute BP for Manslaughter?

There’s a lot of talk in Congress about how to cut the U.S. budget these days. But there’s one place that nobody in Congress or the White House wants to talk about belt-tightening – the Pentagon.

Despite all the tough talk, neither the President nor the Congress are proposing to cut overall spending on war and weapons. In fact, BOTH parties are still talking about an INCREASE in spending for the Pentagon, which already gets more than 50% of all the money Congress votes on, and that doesn't even *count* the money for the actual wars.

If Congress is willing to cut stuff that Americans really need - like job training, home heating assistance, and research into clean energy - then EVERYTHING needs to be "on the table" for cuts.

That’s why we've launched the “Not $1 More” campaign - and we want YOU to sign on first. Tell Congress to ‘put the guns on the table’ and make the Pentagon live by the same budget rules as everyone else: Sign here to support Not $1 More.

On July 27th, 2009, our peaceful apartment complex was suddenly invaded by armed FBI agents and a swat team who arrested my twenty-one year old son, Ziyad Yaghi, from the pool.

Khaled Said, a 28-year-old Egyptian from the coastal city of Alexandria, Egypt, was tortured to death at the hands of two police officers. Several eye witnesses described how Khalid was taken by the two policemen into the entrance of a residential building where he was brutally punched and kicked. The two policemen banged his head against the wall, the staircase and the entrance steps.

From community-based banking and agriculture to state-initiated Single Payer Health Care to the Free University of San Francisco, some are leading the way into a new age of people-based societies. Because the only implementation of social conformity that facilitates change is that which demands society conform to the will of the people.
