Appreciate how you've kept on keeping on...
I hear demolition of the 4th housing project is underway. We MUST help New Orleaneans take back their city.
Gordon, THIS WEEK, please consider sharing this flyer with everyone you can... Check out why at http://PledgeToImpeach.ORG
Thanks!

Keep up the great work!
Please read my post about the MAY 1st strike!
If you agree (please feel free to comment!), let everyone you know become aware... THIS is our (last?) chance--for impeachment, for ending the occupation of Iraq, AT LEAST for forcing our topics into the presidential campaigns!
Defending Freedom through National Solidarity!

It's really hard for me to speak of New Orleans without crying. Sometimes my students (university) ask me about it. It's hard, but I choke my way through and basically say the government ignored its duty but individual people came to the rescue as many as could, as fast as they could, and that I believe Chinese people would do the same under similar circs. But I can't help tears springing to my eyes. I want to help too. This is crazy to let an entire city be forgotten. It is a national treasure -- New Orleans isn't very well known in China, but it is in Europe and anywhere there are people who love jazz and blues, which is all over the globe. The people who want to come back to their home should be able to, even though they know it could happen again. People want to go home, no matter where that is.
In solidarity,
Pat
I'm likin' your site... will be reading more about you and New Orleans ASAP.
BTW, pls. consider joining the group I just started: http://impeachspace.ning.com/group/PledgeToImpeachORG

Moderates are famous for wanting tranquility within the nation! They will always compromise or sell out, so that drastic change does not happen, even when that kind of change is necessary!
Their failure to recognize that impeachment is necessary right now, means that they are no longer relevant, ... and so the people should dump the democrat party into the trash can of ancient history, and start a new progressive party that is in touch with what is happening and will be respectful of our progressive heritage and not afraid to do the right thing!
By voting your conscience you will be a winner!...and no matter what happens you will have voted for your humanity and the humanity of the nation!
Sometimes one step backwards means that next time will be 2 steps forward!
If that is our destiny than so be it!
Please see my post “Let’s Get Organized!”
Thank you, Steve
