THE ANATOMY OF AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION
By Greg Evensen - November 20, 2009
The term revolution is defined as sudden change. Sometimes it is subtle and sometimes it is violent.

President Obama has decided to send more than 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan, at a cost of more than $100 billion/year. But America cannot afford a war that does not make us safer, and Congress has the power to stop the escalation. Vote NO on any spending bill that would send more troops to Afghanistan.

The Economic Crisis and What Must be Done: The Cook Plan
By Richard C. Cook
The United States does not control its own destiny. Rather it is controlled by an international financial elite, of which the American branch works out of big New York banks like J.P. Morgan Chase, Wall Street investment firms such as Goldman Sachs, and the Federal Reserve System.

Ellen Geiger, 56, makes a spectacle of herself at a town hall meeting in Alhambra, Calif. There has been much debate in recent months, but it has been directed at a very narrow array of proposals. No one is arguing about the kind of tough regulation that might actually make a difference.
