"My stand is clear;

produce to distribute,
feed before you eat,
give before you take,
think of others, before you think of yourself.

Only a selfless society based on sharing
can be stable and happy.
This is the only practical solution.
If you do not want it - then fight."

We should trust our leader, despite the fact that he lied about reasons for war with Iraq. We should trust him to wiretap all of the 'right' people with no oversight or accountability, especially those terrorist Quakers.

We should unconditionally trust HMOs, insurance companies and large multinationals who have the best interests of the public at heart. It does not matter that they flood our ‘elected’ representatives with mountains of money to do their bidding.

 

Global warming, environmentalism, Evolution theory and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but Creationism should be taught in schools as THE absolute truth.
 

A president lying about an extramarital affair with a female aide is an impeachable offense. However, male prostitutes should be allowed into the Bush Whitehouse in secret, with no fear of media coverage or impeachment of anyone. Also, a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy, not an impeachable offense.
 

Government and the courts should limit themselves to the powers named in the Constitution with no changes. Of course the Constitution needs changing to include banning gay marriages and making Social Security private.
 

The public has a right to know about Hillary's past cattle trades and real estate investments, but George Bush's cocaine conviction, company takeovers of private land for personal gain, plus SEC law violations are none of the publics business.
 

Being a drug or alcohol addict is a moral failing and a crime that needs to be published widely, unless you're a conservative radio host or a Republican President. Then it's an illness, and they only need our prayers for recovery. Of course, we should keep all of this a deep, dark secret.
 

We should all support states' rights, which means Attorney General Gonzalez can tell states which local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.
 

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest and should prevent him from being President due to his failings then, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant, including not showing up for military service, which is an offense punishable by court martial for everyone else.


The US should follow all laws, international and domestic, unless you are President Bush, and then anything goes, and dam the UN and other countries for trying to make us follow some stupid agreements. 
 

NOTE: Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck with "Bushit" forever.

 


Cont.

 

Saddam was a good guy when installed in Iraq after assassinating the previous democratically elected leader with the help of the CIA and when Reagan armed him with weapons of mass destruction, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy again when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
 

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trading with and exporting millions of US manufacturing jobs to Communist China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony and “free” trade.
 

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but churches and multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all of humankind without regulation, including the right to sue them. (Multiple companies are now immune to lawsuits, even if they are causing people to be killed, become ill, or suffer injury.)
 

Jesus loves everyone unconditionally, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Bill/Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and all Democrats or peace lovers specifically.
 

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay, while withholding body armor.
 

“Thou shalt not kill”, so if condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex, and that will keep all sperm and eggs alive. Of course Pat Robertson was told by God? that it is OK to assassinate/kill those we hate. It is also OK to kill millions of innocent civilians while in pursuit of those suspected of terror, including US animal rights activists, Quakers, environmentalists, peace activists, and homosexuals, among others. A longer list is being made up at this moment by those in charge of killing all those God said it was OK to kill.  
 

Providing free universal health care and universal free education to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism or worse.

 

NOTE: Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck with "Bushit" forever.

It sounds unbelievable—but did you know that anyone can go online and purchase cell or home phone records of people like you?

Today, AMERICAblog was able to buy Gen. Wesley Clark's personal cell phone records with no problem. Phone companies and congressional leaders have known about this problem, but they've failed to address it.

Even at a time when our right to privacy is under attack on multiple fronts, the idea that someone can simply go online and buy another person's phone records seems beyond possibility—but it is true, and it must be stopped immediately.

Please sign this emergency petition to your congressional representatives today.


The petition reads:

"Congress and phone companies have dealt a stunning blow to the privacy rights of everyday Americans by allowing cell and home phone records to be sold online to anyone. Congress must immediately pass a law that strictly prohibits these unauthorized sales, and begin enforcing this law now."

CBS Evening News plans to run a story on this issue tonight.1  With bipartisan uproar over the Bush administration's illegal wiretapping of American citizens and the Patriot Act's allowing of government spying into people's library records, concern over privacy has never been higher.

Those who sign our petition will be kept informed of the next steps that can be taken to pressure Congress into stopping the sale of unauthorized phone records—so please be sure to pass this petition to others who care about privacy issues.

The Chicago Sun-Times set off alarm bells on January 5 when it ran a story titled, "Your phone records are for sale." The article said:

The Chicago Police Department is warning officers their cell phone records are available to anyone—for a price. Dozens of online services are selling lists of cell phone calls, raising security concerns among law enforcement and privacy experts.

Criminals can use such records to expose a government informant who regularly calls a law enforcement official.

Suspicious spouses can see if their husband or wife is calling a certain someone a bit too often.

And employers can check whether a worker is regularly calling a psychologist—or a competing company...

Late last month, the department sent a warning to officers about [a company], which sells lists of calls made on cell phones and land lines.2

The Washington Post reported this six months ago and nothing's been done by the phone companies or Congress. A spokesperson for Cingular Wireless called the acquisition of call records "an infinitesimally small problem." A spokesperson for Verizon Wireless dismissively said, "There are probably 100 such sites"—as if they were nothing to worry about.3

But John Aravosis of AMERICAblog has recently taken the lead in exposing this outrage. Today, AMERICAblog was able to purchase the personal cell phone history of former presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark. He writes:

AMERICAblog just bought General Wesley Clark's cell phone records for $89.95...All we needed was General Clark's cell phone number and our credit card, and 24 hours later we had one hundred calls the general made on his cell phone in November. The calls included a number of calls to Arkansas, to foreign countries, and at least one call to a prominent reporter at the Washington Post.4

In Illinois, Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced last week a series of state proposals to crackdown on the unauthorized release or sale of phone records, saying, "This is outrageous and will not be tolerated in Illinois."  We need Congress to take the same attitude and pass strong federal legislation immediately. 

There is no time to wait. Congress must act immediately and shut these sites down now.

Please sign an emergency petition calling on Congress to crack down on unauthorized phone records today.


Thanks for all that you do.

P.S. This issue affects a massive number of people, and to understand the gravity of this issue Congress must be overwhelmed by the size of this petition. Can you please send this petiton to others you know who care about the privacy of their phone records?

P.P.S. Since AMERICAblog, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Chicago Tribune began reporting on this issue, some companies that sell phone records have apparently tried to hide their tracks from the public by denying some orders made in recent days. But these companies still openly and shamelessly advertise their ability to sell this information, and will continue doing so until their activities are definitively outlawed.

One website says:

You provide the business or personal cell phone number, we will send you the outgoing calls made from the most recent (or requested) billing period, including dates and calls made...

Note: We DO NOT CHARGE hidden back end fees like other sites if you don't have a Social Security Number ($20), Name and Address ($45), or Cell Carrier ($20), in order to complete this search. Our cost TO YOU is the same whether you know that information or not!!
