I guess to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee it means presiding over the further destruction of the population of three countries that didn't harm anyone. I guess it means voting for every war-funding bill while one is a Senator and continuing torture?

With the U.S. economy collapsing, unemployment rising and foreclosures on the increase the U.S. cannot afford the mistaken war in Afghanistan. Give voice to the majority of Americans who oppose escalation and oppose this war by taking action here and now!

Less than 5% of the world knows of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights existence. Because passports are the official representation of government, if the declaration is in all passports, it becomes an official documentation of the world.

The problem is, Americans are going bankrupt, even dying because of our failed health care system. Placebos don't work when there is real illness, yet it seems that is what the house of representatives has offered in its first draft.

Three billion one hundred and forty million people live on less that $2.50 a day and about 44% of these people survive on less than $1.25. Complete and total wretchedness can be the only description for the circumstances faced by so many. Why is it so?

View the actual pdf document filed by the NAACP on behalf of Troy Anthony Davis, and delivered through legal services to the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Davis has never been allowed an evidentiary hearing to determine confidence of the verdict

Think twice before you lie down in St. Petersburg, Florida public park. Or before you ask for a quarter. Or stow your personal belongings in a public area. Why, you ask? You just might land behind bars...
