Put Pressure on Senator Huppenthal!!!

IF YOUR VOTE IS STOLEN IN AZ IN NOV 2006
(and it will be if the Election Reform bill is not passed)
DEMOCRACY WILL BE DEAD IN ARIZONA!!!

Could you email to your group, friends and family about the AZ Election Reform bill, SB 1557? If the bill is not heard tomorrow, February 13,
it will be DEAD! So we must email, fax and call Senator Huppenthal
who is blocking the bill and will not allow it to be heard in "his"
Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee.

We are getting desperate to get letters written and phone calls
made to get SB 1557 heard so a fair election will be held in
November 2006! Once the bad touch screen voting machines
are installed (they are already ordered) you can kiss fair
counting of ballots in AZ goodbye! Everything will be lost!

The last Senate Judiciary Committee hearing date is next
Monday, February 13 at 1 PM. If it is not heard then,
the bill is DEAD! So we must email and call Huppenthal
this weekend and Monday AM! Please help us keep our
vote safe! We hope those who can get away will come join
us at that meeting on February 13, 1 PM at 1700 W. Washington St,
Phoenix. Park free to the east of 17th Ave & then walk
to Senate hearing room 1 on the west side of 17th Ave.
Call with questions 602-870-4714 Joy until 12 noon Mon.
and on Saturday and Sunday, call 2 - 10 PM.

****************WE NEED HELP NOW********************

*******************PLEASE******************************

***********CALL***********FAX***********EMAIL********

*****JOIN US AT THE SENATE ON MONDAY AT 1 PM******

THE NEXT ELECTION WILL BE STOLEN, IF WE DON'T ALL PULL TOGETHER !

This is the bill if you want to take a look see.

Contact Senator Huppenthal Tell him Senate bill(SB)1557 must be heard and that touch screen voting machines should not be used. Tell him you want a PAPER TRAIL!

2 Scary Stories, Nite Nite Freedom!

US Plans to 'Fight the Net' Revealed


by Adam Brookes

January 29, 2006
BBC


A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.

Bloggers beware.

As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the modern media offer.

From influencing public opinion through new media to designing "computer network attack" weapons, the US military is learning to fight an electronic war.

The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap". It was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington University using the Freedom of Information Act.


This is a post on Daily Kos that includes excerpts and links to the article. Although you need a subscription to get to the full article.


[UPDATE] NYT Reports: KBR gets contract to build "immigration" detention camps in US? Poll

Fri Feb 03, 2006 at 09:29:00 PM PDT
Ok I'm updating this again... But here is a light note to bring you a sardonic smile. I'm almost breathless because I find this hard to believe, but at the same time believable.

The New York Times issued an article about 16 minutes ago saying that Kellogg, Brown and Root has been awarded a $385 million contract to build detention camps on American soil.

The good Senators

Please take the time to email the following Senators and let them know that their stand against the confirmation of Samual Alito was not in vein. We need to let them know when they are doing a good job of representing us as well as when they are doing a bad job. Then we need to get rid of the ones doing a bad job. I will have a list of those Senators in days to come. For Senators to fight the good fight, they have to know that the People support them and emailing them is the easiest way to do it.

Cindy Sheehan gets arrested for practicing the First Amendment

What Really Happened at the State of the Union

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTIONby Cindy Sheehan Feb 1, 2006


Dear Friends,As most of you have probably heard, I was arrested before the State of the Union Address tonight.I am speechless with fury at what happened and with grief over what we have lost in our country.There have been lies from the police and distortions by the press. (Shocker) So this is what really happened:
This afternoon at the People's State of the Union Address in DC where I was joined by Congresspersons Lynn Woolsey and John Conyers, Ann Wright, Malik Rahim and John Cavanagh, Lynn brought me a ticket to the State of the Union Address. At that time, I was wearing the shirt that said: 2245 Dead. How many more?
