February 2010 Archives
Enough is enough! It's time we up the ante and demand that our voices be
heard and heeded. It's time that the logical and rational voices of reason
get a Peace of the Action.
While the wars in Central Asia and the Middle East rage hotter and hotter,
and while the suppression of our civil liberties here in the U.S. continue,
Peace of the Action is demanding an immediate cessation to U.S. hostilities.
Peace of the Action will be establishing Camp OUT NOW on the lawn of the
Washington Monument (with or without governmental permission) on Saturday,
March 13th, to be a base of operations from
which we will organize and direct daily acts of Civil Resistance throughout
the DC area and until our demands are officially recognized.

Haiti: Eyewitness to Disaster

Walter Riley, a human rights attorney based in Oakland, was in Haiti doing solidarity work when the devastating earthquake hit. Walters's harrowing account of what he saw in the streets of Paor-au-Prince, will stay with you.
We also explore the political context -- historically, present day, and in the future, as Haiti struggles to recover from its natural disaster. What are the root causes of the deep poverty in Haiti, which is a key factor in why so many died in the earthqauke? What has been the US economic policy toward Haiti over the past generation and what will it be in the future? And what has been happening during the United Nations occupation of the past many years? Who can best rebuild Haiti: US Marines or Haitian grasroots groups?

Lots of people are outraged that CBS is allowing Focus on the Family to buy 30 seconds of airtime on the Super Bowl this Sunday to air an anti-abortion message. It is outrageous that CBS, the mainstream network of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, who would likely have been horrified to see CBS selling religion, is taking the ad. Is CBS becoming FOX?
