Citizens were against the wall street bailout. And that is a done deal (emphasis on the word DEAL).
And you think these paid off, black mailed, etc tools will bow down to reason and decency?
Who are we to protest to? AI??? UFOs??? God??? Mommy???

One must never forget that money and capitalism have been at the core of the USA and its many evil deeds, even before its official conception. The great evils perpetrated to build a world empire founded on greed, deception, and massive exploitation are now coming full circle, and with a vengeance. This is the long-awaited opportunity to finally "kill the beast" and kick all the bums out, forever.

Do you know how to get semen stains out of an American flag? I tried blotting it with pages of the bible, but that didn't work...Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

If you want a protest to matter, you either need 10,000 moderate liberals, or 100 militant anti-authoritarians.....

If you don't want us in Iraq, then vote 3rd party, and not Obama or McCain.

insiders will not rock the boat. We need outsiders like McKenna or Paul or Barr. I'm still for Paul but perhaps Barr. Why not voting green? Because the candidate is for a central government "solution" and that is not a grounds up reconfiguration.
That we are against this war is not a policy stand, merely a feeling on this invasion. That we are against foreign entanglements is a policy stand. It encompases this and other invasions as well as behind the scenes "diplomacy" that does not stand up to transparency and have a solid reason behind it, one based on american safety, not just economic preferences etc.
And to it takes 100 radicals or 100.000radical moderates.....It might soon be hard to find moderates who are not "radicalized" and remember that radicalism does not belong to the leftists. Most folk are sick and tired of extremists on both sides. Most people want reason and moderation and a country that works for them. Deprive those reasons for the continuance of the current order and you will get disorder hoping to reorder it ground up
Yours till the revolution...

Rally and March to end the war in Afghanistan
Sunday, October 19, 2008
2:00pm–4:00pm
Georgia & Howe St.
Stephen Harper has announced that he wants to withdraw Canadian troops from Afghanistan by 2011. Don’t trust him. Harper has already extended the mission twice, with the help of Stéphane Dion. And now that a federal election is underway, Canadians know what Harper really thinks about “fixed dates”.
Even if we believed Harper, we can’t afford another three years of war. Nearly 100 Canadian troops have been killed in Afghanistan. Another three years would more than double the current death toll, since Canadian troops suffer one of the highest casualty rates of all NATO forces.
Three more years of war will also mean more civilian deaths. NATO air strikes have tripled between 2006 and2007. Over 6,500 civilians died in 2007, the highest death toll since 2001. This year is on track to be even worse.
A recent Environics poll shows that 56 per cent of Canadians oppose the mission, the highest opposition since the war began. Even more—58 percent—opposed Harper and Dion’s decision to extend the mission to 2011.
The federal election is our chance to tell Stephen Harper and all the political parties that we want the war to end. And we want it to end now, not in three years.
But no matter who forms the new government, the war will continue, and so must we. Join us to tell the federal government that it’s time to end the war, and to bring the troops home now.
On October 14, vote for candidates who pledge to end the war now!
On October 19, march to end the war!
