Christian Science Monitor Blog | Cook's Capitol Archive May, 2004: "According to the Post, Evans and his colleagues devised a system where those who wanted George Bush to be president – and wanted access to top administration officials - would ask friends to give $1,000. Contributions would be meticulously tracked. Those who collected $100,000 from their friends would be called “Pioneers.” Those who amassed $200,000 would be “Rangers.” “Super Ranger” status goes to those who could coax $300,000 out of their friends."

In most other cities, these workers live near the poverty line.

There is a storm brewing, and it is called the military draft. Here is how to resist it. Many people do, but the authorities can't go after everyone, just the vocal folks.
"I asked Ed, "Ed, they are bringing back the draft, the military draft. What do you have to say about that?" He coughed and thought a little while and said, "Many, many of us immigrants came to this country to avoid conscription back home in an unjust war. This country was built on the backs of draft dodgers. It's an American Institution." Utah Phillips (paraphrased from memory) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Not In Our Name: "In early 2003, Saul Williams, DJ Spooky, and Coldcut released “Not In My Name”, a politically charged EP signaling resistance to the U.S.'s declaration of a war on the world and repression at home. Released on CD and vinyl in the US and Europe, the EP also moved quickly around the world via the free MP3s released on this site."

Noam Chomsky on Reagan's Legacy: "The network and newspaper coverage of the death of Ronald Reagan has brought forth a chorus of praise from Democrats and Republicans alike. Much of the reporting and commentary, under the guise of respecting the dead, has represented a dramatic rewriting of the history of the Reagan years in office."

Labor board to review union organizing practices: "Under standard practice, unions that are organized through secret ballots can't be kicked out of a workplace until a 'reasonable amount of time' has passed. The NLRB review will determine whether that standard also should be applied to unions organized through check cards.
The case also involves workers for auto part maker Metaldyne Corp. of Plymouth, Mich." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Workday Minnesota: Reagan remembered for new era of union-busting: "PATCO was one of a small handful of unions that endorsed Reagan in his bid to defeat incumbent President Jimmy Carter in 1980. But just months after Reagan took office, PATCO members found that support meant nothing."
