Democrats

ROTC Get Out, Stay Out!
Obama Wants You to Serve Imperialism
Democrats, Republicans United for Racist War and Union Busting
from REVOLUTION no. 5

This charge, a centerpiece of Obama's acceptance speech last night, was quite probably true.

But it was also a stunning piece of hypocrisy coming from the Democratic nominee who has himself voted for almost every single George Bush war funding bill since becoming a U.S. senator.

And Obama has outdone W on several points besides:

** Advocating bombing Iran
** Proposing to invade Pakistan
** Advocating a troop surge in Afghanistan
** Advocating a larger standing army

Someone posted on Indymedia yesterday suggesting that activists consider the mainstream media as targets during the DNC and RNC. This is a good idea. According to reports, a group of protesters ran up on Chris Matthews and MSNBC and got their platforms heard before a national audience. That same tactic could work with every news outlet around.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette:

...a group of about 40 Iraq war veterans, clad in their tan camouflage battle dress uniforms, briefly halted traffic on the 16th Street Mall.

"This is Operation First Casualty because the first casualty of war is the truth," said Aaron Hughes, 26, of Chicago.

He said the group wanted to show the people of Denver what it was like to have an "occupying force" in town and what it was like to have a "combat patrol go through their neighborhood."

Here's a letter I wrote to Amy Klobuchar about her bill that she may introduce to give away part of OUR (that's right our) Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota to a mining company to strip mine it! WTF Amy?! Progressive Democrat? Doesn't sound like it.
