 Petition - Keep Torture Flights Out of Scotland

This was sent to me by a friend today. Anyone in the world can sign. Pass it on to your friends around the world and let Scotland
know the rest of the world objects to this kind of complacency on their part.
Torture is wrong. It happened in the Dark Ages. This is the 21st Century. Thereis no excuse for it. I can't bring myself to argue that it is useless because that would give it legitimacy. It has none. Imagine yourself being tortured and ask to give information you just don't have. How long would it take us to sayanything to just stop the torture? That's what happens. Please take a few
minutes to sign this petition - signatures from around the world would be so
welcome. Let the MSPs in Edinburgh

know that we Scots are not alone in condemning this hideous practice of
kidnapping people and flying them to countries where torture is routinely practiced.Those that 'render' them are as guilty as the torturers. And if we stand by and do nothing to help, so are we. My thanks.

Join the protests on 1 May: break Brown’s wage freeze

Kevin Courtney, a national executive member of the NUT teachers’ union, spoke to Socialist Worker about the battle against New Labour’s pay curbs

“Gordon Brown is trying to restrict millions of public sector workers to a 2 percent rise at a time when inflation is 4.6 percent. We need to challenge him.

“Public sector pay is not the cause of inflation, and I heard no talk of the need for restraint when the elite bankers got their multi-million pound bonuses. It is these people who are driving up house prices and who are driving up inflation.

“This government plans year-on-year below inflation pay rises for public sector workers – for nurses, firefighters, teachers, civil servants and others – while mortgages, bills and council tax continue to rise.

“We passed a motion at our NUT conference last weekend calling for public sector unity. It offers an opportunity to break Brown’s pay freeze. All the unions are under pressure over pay, working conditions and privatisation.

“The union must provide campaign ­material and prepare for action alongside other unions. We must not wait for the TUC to call action – we must ask the TUC to coordinate.

“We must take every chance to talk to each other. May Day is a great opportunity. A quarter of a million civil service workers will strike that day, making it the biggest May Day for a very long time.

“We should be visiting picket lines, and PCS union members should be invited into workplaces to address other trade unionists.

“There is a fear that some at the top of the unions still have faith in Brown. We have to keep up the pressure for action.”

Kevin’s comments come as hundreds of thousands of health workers have been told they will get only a 1.9 percent rise and over a million local government workers have been offered only 2 percent.

There is mounting anger, with NHS staff poised to ballot for action over pay and many other workers also demanding their union leaders start the fightback.

Tuesday 1 May can bring that resistance together, with workers taking to the streets just days before the elections across Scotland and Wales, and in many parts of England.

Crossposting: peace-event in Boston April 01, 2007 2:55 PM

thanks to Care2 member Gaea R posting in Kucinich for president I found this information: """"Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Fellow citizens, you are cordially invited to an IMPEACHMENT!!! We are calling on YOU, to do your patriotic duty on Apr. 28th - to come to historic Faneuil Hall in Boston at noon to participate in the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. It shall be a People's Impeachment, where WE THE PEOPLE shall stand up as citizens to Impeach Bush and Cheney by public proclamaton. "IMPEACH" means "to bring charge against" and, that is precisely what we intend to do at Faneuil Hall. On Apr. 28th,We the People will impeach Bush and Cheney by public mandate! April 28th has been designated as a national day of action on impeachment. (See: http://www.a28.org/) So, come be a part of history in the making! (...or, at least, if nothing else, come be a part of a really fun, self-empowering, street protest and the making of a really good YouTube video - to help inspire others to speak out and take action too)! If the Congress won't do it, then we will! Together, let's show them how it's done! When: Saturday, April 28, 2007 at 12:00 PM Where: Faneuil Hall 75 State St. Boston, MA 02109 DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT: We shall gather there at HIGH NOON by the statue of Sam Adams in the square in front of Faneuil Hall (the birthplace of the American Revolution) to hear charges of impeachment formally and publicly declared against President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney. When the people have publicly assembled, our Town Crier shall call them to order. The Town Crier shall then commence with the public reading of the impeachment charges against President Bush and Vice President Cheney, aloud for all to hear . The public, so assembled as a People's Committee on Impeachment, shall then be asked to consider the charges against the accused and to vote 'YEA' or 'NAY' whether Bush and Cheney should be charged with the list of crimes read before them. If the vote by the people be 'YEA', then WE THE PEOPLE shall then formally DECLARE BUSH AND CHENEY IMPEACHED BY PUBLIC PROCLAMATION (by the authority given us as citizens by 1st & 10th ammendments to the U.S. Constitution and the principles of Declaration of Independence)! COME, SPEAK OUT! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!""""

Doris again: - I guess we'd meet there, Peach, Pete, B MutinyT, Blue B and others, if we only could... hope to hear from those who can take part or even just have more info about the event!!! Sounds so cool! Sometimes one must admire the US Constitution even more than at other times! And admire the imagination of its citizens! Hurray!

What an excellent March 26, 2007 7:21 PM

... resource, I-have-I, and I was VERY impressed by that thread, by the people who contributed (including you) and the wealth of information, it will take me some time to read it all, but I've already some time ago pledged to buy nothing that week! (Alerted/invited by Blue Bunting!)- Indeed, boycotts are definitely part of our peaceful and effective ways to show our peaceful will - as I said somewhere else, they are effective because they cut the profit margins even if not the majority of the customers stop buying something. The competition is so thight and the greed is so enormous that the market-shares and profits (or their invisible owners) are sensitive even to a 10% drop... so we should never be discouraged to stop buying things we don't support - like wars! Happy to see you here and so active for good causes! Bravo!

(Amended to change/up-date a name! !)
