    If you subscribe to the Center for Media and Democracy's "Spin of the Week," you will note that we have changed the link on this story from the New York Daily News to CMD Board Member Anna Lappé's article on Alternet. You can still read the Daily News, piece, which claimed that New York City was first city in the nation to ban trans fats, by clicking [[http://www.nydailynews.com/news/local/story/477574p-401812c.html here]].

  • Reply to: Will the new Congress try to impeach President Bush? Could a state?   17 years 4 months ago
    It is true that the incoming leaders of the DEM party say that justice "will be tabled" concerning the Bush (Administration), however until America returns to justice, the Constitution, and laws of this nation, we are still in danger of whatever is possible under the dictitorial Executive Branch as today established. Neither the fake Conservative party of the past, nor an apologists DEM leadership soon to take over, without justice gives the American citizen any respite or assurance that the dictitorial and unconstitutional powers of the past administration will not be continued and used in the future. Must the Bush (Administration) be charged with acts that by our Constitution call for beginning impeachment investigation for possible implimentation. Does a bank robber need stand trial on charges of bank robbery, need a murderer need stand trial on charges of murder. What kind of a fool would suggest not? Would impeachment proceedings against the Bush (Administration) destroy America, I strongly believe 'unless' impeachment begins as immediately as possible, we will all rue the day we followed advice of negative advising fools.

    Attacking Lebanon whether requested by the US or on there own, may well have been the biggest or worst mistake they could ever have done. America at this time is becoming a nation that Israel will not be able to rely upon much longer, and despite all the weapons they now have on hand, these guarantee only war if used.

    This past year and more I have been doing research regarding conditions in Israel todate. This nation is in straights very similar to America, like much of the world for that matter. What Israel has counted on most from America, that appears to be the fundamental within the evangelical Christian church, I believe is soon to lose much of the power previously had.

    I am a Christian myself, finding that the forementioned church-leadership within America have led their followers far afield of Bible teaching. Not only do they totally ignore prophetic allotment of the Promised Land, they also totally ignore OT scripture that clearly tells that the scattered tribes will (first) be taken out of the nations (into the desert of the nation), where the rebel against God will be purged from the their midst, (after) which the elect or remnant will then be gathered into Israel. Meaning that the gathering into Israel today is by the will of MAN, fulfilling prophecy of impending desolation.

    I believe the remnant of Israel are the orthodox in Israel and the world today, I pray for the secular majority within Israel whom I see badly used.

    After a decade of rebuilding in Lebanon, this budding young Democracy was on its way to becoming a true haven of peace and commerce.

    Israel, in its' misguided clumsy efforts to destroy Hezbollah, managed to miss most of them and instead destroyed all of Lebanons commercial sectors from tip to tip, not to mention the horrendous environmental disaster in the Mediterranean.

    For Israel to now try to offer itself as some sort of an alternative 'new recreation area' is so cold blooded and horrendous a thought, a shiver ran down my spine.

    God help the sheep when the wolf is judge.

    To help ensure H.R. 5388 passed, the Utah state legislature developed, passed, and adopted a 4-seat congressional redistricting map on December 4. DC Vote (www.dcvote.org) who has been pushing this issue since the late 1990's took this opportunity to organize a Congress Day in Washington, DC on December 5th to encourage Elected Officials to pass the DC Voting Rights act this week. At least 100 DC residents and students attended Congress Day. Even with the backing of Congressman Tom Davis (R-VA), Delegate Eleanor Holmes-Norton (D-DC), and the Utah delegation, Congress decided not to vote on this bill this week during the lame duck session. This bill is vote-neutral and nonpartisan. The DC VRA balances the first-ever seat for Washington, DC with an additional seat for Utah. This past May, with a vote of 29-4, H.R. 5388 moved out of the HOuse Committee on Government Reform, receiving overwhelming bipartisan support. Hopefully early next year Congress will realize what an important issue this is and that America can no longer deny equal voting rights(an American birthrite) to the residents of DC. Please go to www.dcvote.org for more information of DC voting rights.
