I am forwarding this to Dot Maver.  Congressman's Dennis Kucinich's national campaign manager.  Ms. Maver and Dennis himself have been working with Mr. Fisher since before the Election of 2004.
 
 
I am posting this to a few groups so they know who is moderating this site for a very good man, Dennis Kucinich.  Your voting rights are at risk and all you can say is that its something fishy. 
 
May I ask, Are you a Neocon or just ignorant?
 
I will publish this in over 500 groups if you can't take your head out of the sand.

As a courtesy to you, on the remote possibility that you failed to

I'm sorry, but messages about "Jeff Fisher" are not relevant to a
Kucinich group, and we do not welcome cross-posts from other groups -
especially threads that have nothing to do with any discussions
going on here. Nobody knows what you are talking about - and
frankly, in my years on the net, all the messages I've seen
about "Jeff Fisher" seem extremely fishy.

If you have something to say of your own, comments to make on
others' posts or information you feel is relevant to our members,
you are free to post it. But message dumping, using us as merely one
more in a long list of venues you send to, is unwelcome.

You used to be a member here at Kucinich4President, and so should
know what sort of group it is. This will be your only warning before
you are removed.

* * *

So now I've given you two warnings. Please pay attention to them,
because if you send another post like this to Kucinich4President,
you will be removed from the list.

Goodsister

Thank you Mr. Rancourt.
 
I will forward this update to everyone that is in my email base.  I am very grateful for your services in setting up a whistle blower hot line
for those like me who don't have a direct relationship with the government.
 
There are many like me who either were exploited by the government(s) or are just able to acquire information by being in the correct place
at the most opportune time. 
 
I of course represent both of these; Being in the right place at the correct time and being exploited my more than one government thanks to
my specific mental and intellectual capabilities, which includes the extraction of information and using my skills that they subjected me too
that I can anthropomorphize random clues and facts into a true and verifiably pattern.
 
That is what the project was about to some degree and that they are not in control of me anymore. The project was a success yet it also was a
failure too.
 
They succeeded in altering genetic code but were at a loss for controlling the human spirit. I won there thanks to faith and due to this I
wouldn't use these profound abilities for their diabolical plans.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
This was a wonderful letter written by a friend of mine, I encourage you to pass it on to every single person you
can possibly find, as I felt prompted to do so.

Thank you, the importance can not be understated.


Greetings and namaste,
 
I really do have God on my side. I have managed to get lodging for a few days but am still on the run from terrible people who wish to kill our country.
 
I am already contacting my sources to arrange and set up several radio talk shows in Canada, the U.S. Italy, France, Israel, Poland and the United Kingdom regarding my evidence of the stolen and manipulated elections since 1996. This is in relationship to certain key university schools, including the likes of Bay Point School, Key College, and Davis University in California. The relationship for all of this activity is being managed through certain training ground departments such as VideoTron Telecom in Canada.
 
The Carlyle Group and others that are under investigation are financing these. This is known to James Baker, John Major and the Israel High Council. Each and every college is being financed overseas, and directly employing brilliant doctors such as Dr. Cole and Dr. Piotr Blass to deliberately teach and involve colleges in election tampering.
 
The secret behind building seven on September 11th, 2001 I will also reveal. This has to do with a man by the name of Larry Silverstein, several shadow slush-fund accounts and a matter of Five Dancing Israeli spectators. It also ties back into Mohammed Atta, and several other identified and un-identified middle-eastern assailants.
 
Following this I will disclose exactly what happened in the conversation I had with a friend of the governor, which took place in New York the direct night before 9-11. It will expose exactly what FEMA knew and why they were in NYC on September 10 th, 2001. Again it will reveal details on how the setup was arranged through the M15-Mossad agencies.
 
The police also knew about Urban Moving Systems and the American Turkish Council yet did nothing, and of this I have further proof and testimony which was again uncovered that day. I will discuss what our conversation was, and how the terrible events followed directly afterward.
 
Finally, I will also tell all about the project. There are one hundred innocent people who are listed in "The Official Secrets Act", which in turn were used and designed as a collective medical and genetic experimentation by our nation and the United Kingdom. There are only twenty of us left. Many of them died gruesomely. Dr. Peter Joyce, from the secret service in the United Kingdom also knows about the full project. He worked in Sociology in Manchester University for some time, and tracked the activities of this project through his direct contacts.
 
Dr. Joyce had been working with me for over a year to track the criminal activities going on with Dr. Cole, which also involved a certain Department of Transportation Investigator who, was killed on June 29, 2003. This man was named Raymond Lemme and he had full proof of the felon-over/under voting system and the tampering that had been installed. He was well aware and fully apprised of the evidence on Piotr Blass, as well as Blass son Oscar Blass who was being used through the Sembler's straights program to fully ready election tampering source code.
 
The programs Oscar Blass and many others worked on, with the full funding of the UK's Minister for E-Commerce and Competitiveness, allowed felons to be systematically voted electronically and cause under and over-votes which were following a formula to throw elections. Dr. Peter Joyce had tracked the program, and Sean Lennon who was working to further trim the program, all the way back to Poland. It was used in a widespread fashion among the Baltic States and later more than nine states in the USA. Finally it was also used in additional countries. The Blass family as well as several other families had been working in this project for many years.
 
Then not more than a few days ago I got the bad news. The bombing in Egypt left my contact dead, he always had gone to Capone. He had finally deciphered two of the lost books that he was assigned to. The third book is still highly guarded and the Israeli's don't want the world to now about these three lost books of the New Testament.
 
The books are about Jesus from age 14 to age 28. Peter Joyce, my dear friend recently told me that Jesus was rebellious. He was like any young person during those years. And he showed it to the Arabs as well, and they were very surprised to say the least. He was going to have his findings printed. Peter then was going to hand over the written word to the Palestinians and the Vatican, so that the 100-year-old war could officially end at last.
This was the missing proof that shows the lost tribes actually included the people of Palestine. The written word, which was written in Aramaic, if I remember him telling me correctly, showed that Jesus led a very radical rag tag following to incorporate brotherhood among the cousins of the people at that time and among the Arab population.
 
He then informed me that these findings would unite the Middle East and lead to a real peace.
 
He also said that there are factions in the United States and Israel that will do anything to make sure that his findings are never known about. He said those in power, such as AIPAC and many members of the US Congress know this and continue to act accordingly to stop the truth. I will not let his efforts go in vain as he was killed for what they discovered on the election tampering, and also because of the truth for the Palestine people. Those people deserve a better tomorrow, and I will make it come true.
 
I will finally let everyone know about the plan I wrote in 2003 regarding the Road Map to Peace. That plan was rough but the Mossad came to me in 2004 and told me to destroy it. I did not destroy it. I had presented this plan in 2003 in Dearborn, Michigan and I can remember the smiles and accolades I received from many members of the American Arab Institute. It was about two nations, working together not as enemies.

The war in Iraq and the next one in Iran, then Venezuela and then North Korea are things that must not happen. It's more than oil. It's about power and the Khazar. And I will fight for everything there is so that the roadmap is restored and that Palestine and the Middle East is restored.
 
I first tried to call Carol Patton, John Conyer's legal counsel to actually try to build a working platform within my own party. This advice came from a very intelligent woman I met from Southern France. What i got instead was disrespect and ridicule. Ms Patton told me that John doesn't remember me. I told her that was a bit strange since he endorsed me personally for the House of Representative in 2004. Ms. Patton even personally acted like she had never heard of my evidence regarding the elections, and she denied that she had any knowledge of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and the information I had uncovered that led to her defeat in 2002. I told her that I was indeed working with McKinney and Kucinich, and she pretended to not even know who those people are.
 
Well now it has been confirmed for everyone that John Conyers does not want the truth to be known. John Conyers deliberately takes funding and money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, who works closely with Dr. Blass and other brilliant teachers who are working to fulfill the Neocon plan.
 
P.S. To the special woman that took care of me in 2005. I will have your family's killers from 1948 prosecuted. Eastern Europe lost a good man that year and all because he wasn't in favor of the state of Israel. He had more important issues to address at that time for his own country. The communists were going to take away everything and he was fighting to have that stopped. The American government at that time wanted to help, Truman wanted to help, but the state of Israel was their chief objective at that time.
 
My God, why do governments compromise human life for the sake of power? Well I won't let my morals and convictions be tainted and spoiled like that. I will continue and ensure that the world knows. "The Struggle" will come to an end.
 
To my friend in Berkeley, California, I am about to eat oranges again.
 
To my children: I love you and miss you.
 
To my ex wife: Nothing,
You are afraid of the truth. Its no wonder you are the way you are. You are a typical closed-minded American Jew. Don't forget I converted to Judaism for you. No longer is that the fact. I am happy being a Southern Baptist. I am happy to be free at last.
 
To my friends in Arkansas, Texas, Utah, Upstate New York, Chicago, Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, California, Oregon, Oklahoma, Arizona, Canada, Mexico, England, Spain and Greece. Your generous help and research is greatly appreciated and this is the reward it will reap. The people will be educated and the truth will prevail. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy's dreams are going to become reality.
 
We need real leaders in Washington D.C. who believe that peace can be attained now, yet they still play their games of adhering to protocol and compromise at the peoples expense. In other words they delay peace for a paycheck.
 
Well I have done well without much money and because of that the message is getting out and I will walk through the eye of the needle. Money is necessary to survive and I am grateful to those who have helped me. I hope my friend on the West Coast of Florida can reach their friend in Hawaii to help me out financially.
 
A special thanks goes to SnC…. You are my anchor like Coretta was for Martin….
 
As I have explained, I must make sure that "Mother Nature" takes her place accordingly to her political issues. Poverty and racism among the masses must be eradicated once and for all. Her road is already laid out. I am just making sure she gets there and is safe. This is my best friend that believes in loyalty. I remain loyal to my best friend. My friend is so beautiful, inside and out and very intelligent. God blesses her and will heal her of her medical frailties. I ask all of you to pray for "Mother Nature". Her preservation is more important than mine is.
 
Please spread the word everywhere you go. As long as I continue to smell roses, mankind has hope.
 
My next letter I will be talking about the issue of death squads and going into detail about what that means, as they are here in America.
 
Every seven to ten days I will continue introducing one new issue that our elected leaders continue to ignore, and I will talk all about that and give you all of the knowledge that I have.
 
Signed,
An American Patriot,
Jeff Fisher

Hi, Personally I have trouble keeping up with all the good progressive doc's, books, and mags that are around.  Although I love this stuff, and try to keep my ear to the ground it's just hard to find out what's going on with new media.  I'm sure I'm not alone here, so I thought I would let everyone know that I have found something that helps.  It's the Independent Media Marketplace email update (IMM update).   Found here:

Book Review: 'White Gold' by Giles Milton
By Ben-Peter Terpstra - posted Tuesday, 26 October 2004

From the bestselling author of Nathaniel’s Nutmeg comes White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and North Africa’s One Million European Slaves. Giles Milton’s latest book is a valuable work simply because the story of slavery belongs to us all. Furthermore, this spine-tingler is also important in that it has managed to find a publisher, and therefore an audience. (In Europe, some politically sensitive history books don’t always see the light of day.)

Much is written about the slave trade, but rarely does one read a book about the likes of Thomas Pellow. Barbary corsairs captured the Cornish cabin boy and his shipmates in 1716. Sadly, such kidnappings were commonplace. Between the years 1550-1730, Algiers alone was home to around 25,000 European slaves. At times, there were around 50,000 captives. Slave markets also flourished in Tunis and Morocco where little Thomas was sent. The lad was only 11 years old.

There are many ways to read White Gold. I’ve long tried, albeit clumsily, to put my empathy cap on and think about how it would feel to struggle as a slave. This book was a great help and worked a treat. Mile’s vivid descriptions backed with thorough research make the task easier. When Thomas Pellow was entering a life of servitude, my heart sunk into my boots. Miles describes the scene:

Advertisement
 

As the sun rose spectacularly over the city’s eastern ramparts and the men were led through the principal gate, they were tormented by jeering, hostile Moors. “We were met and surrounded by vast crowds of them,†wrote Pellow, “offering us the most vile insults.†As word of their arrival spread through the souks, more and more people flocked to the city in order to mock the hated Christians. They surged towards the frightened captives and tried to beat them with sticks and batons.

Readers will be tempted to ask, “Were Pellow’s capturers tyrannical and bloodthirsty barbarians?†The politically incorrect answer to that is, “Yesâ€.

Whatever you do, don’t read this book before meal times. Milton, unlike some historians, doesn’t shy away from awful truths.

The book’s most disturbing figure is Moulay Ismail, the sultan of Morocco. It is he who buys the young Thomas and routinely executes people whom rub him up the wrong way.

Not content with hijacking ships, the Islamic slave traders would make “home visits†to Europe’s coastal villages and kidnap family members. So popular was the demand for Christian slave labour that some rich Barbary pirates, funded by even richer Sultans, pillaged Reykjavik and returned with 400 very frightened Icelanders. Distance was obviously no barrier. Later, travelling Americans  also became sitting ducks.

Does this sound uncomfortably familiar? Like some Islamic extremists of today, the Sultans laughed about holding Europe to ransom. They were rarely met with force.

Obviously, Thomas Pellow’s experience takes place within a wider context, and Giles Milton gives us this. As a learned writer, he provides his audience with sufficient primary resources and solid secondary ones. Of particular interest, are the graphic illustrations of torture techniques and photographs of the now crumbling Meknes palace built by Christian slaves. This is not for the faint hearted.

Whereas, the tireless work of feisty born-again Christians led to the abolition of slavery in America, this was not the case in North Africa and other Islamic strongholds. Ironically,  years after Pellow’s death, a descendant of his took to the seas to fight against the barbaric slave masters. Without revealing too much, the book’s amazing epilogue reads like a tribute to the actions over words principle. Giles Milton’s White Gold is a treasure, and we owe it to North Africa’s one million European white slaves to never forget. They were a stolen generation.

But this book is not just about victims. Many brave English souls who advocated for the abolition of black slavery turned their attention to the plight of European captives. Groups like the Society of Knights Liberators of the White Slaves of Africa (pdf file 684KB) were instrumental in creating awareness. So too were some Church of England churches. Yet, after marathon “talkfests†with barbarian traders, the abolitionists only made significant gains after adopting hawkish strategies. Arguably, this lesson has been lost to some of us. As a wise man once said, “If you want peace, prepare for warâ€. And, if you want a good read, consider getting your hands on a copy of White Gold.

Boycott Egypt

Freedom For Egyptians reminded me why the cartoons looked so familiar to me: they were actually printed in the Egyptian Newspaper Al Fagr back in October 2005. I repeat, October 2005, during Ramadan, for all the egyptian muslim population to see, and not a single squeak of outrage was present. Al Fagr isn't a small newspaper either: it has respectable circulation in Egypt, since it's helmed by known Journalist Adel Hamoudah. Looking around in my house I found the copy of the newspaper, so I decided to scan it and present to all of you to see.

fagr1-plain

Here is the original Frontpage of the Newspaper

Here it is pointing out the date and one of the cartoons. Click on the Smaller one to get a bigger resolution.

fagr2-arrows

Here are the rest of the cartoons inside of the Newspaper


Guess we will have to Boycott Egypt now as well, huh?

Now while the arab islamic population was going crazy over the outrage created by their government's media over these cartoons, their governments was benifitting from its people's distraction. The Saudi royal Family used it to distract its people from the outrage over the Hajj stampede. The Jordanian government used it to distract its people from their new minimum wage law demanded by their labor unions. The Syrian Government used it to create secterian division in Lebanon and change the focus on the Harriri murder. And, finally, the Egyptian government is using it to distract us while it passes through the new Judiciary reforms and Social Security Bill- which will cut over $300 million dollars in benefits to some of Egypt's poorest families. But, see, the people were not paying attention, because they were too busy defending the prophet by sending out millions of e-mails and SMS-messages, boycotting cheese and Lego and burning Butter and the danish Flag. Let's not even mention the idiots who went the usual route of "It's a jewish conspiracy", spouted the stupid argument about the Holocaust, or went on a diatribe with the old favorite "There is an organized campaign-headed by the west and the jews- to attack and discredit Islam, and we have to defend it". They proved, once again, that the arab world is retarded and deserves no better than its leaders.

Whatever...

Immigration and the Welfare State in Sweden

Denmark Stands Tall

The cartoon images of Muhammed may have been offensive. They may have been shocking to some. Perhaps publishing them was in bad taste. Maybe it was even a sin. But no one should be harmed for publishing them, nor should the Danish government either punish the publishers or apologize for their publication. For more information, visit Wikipedia. “Rantings of a Sandmonkey,†a blog out of Egypt, also weighs in on the topic. Another source of banner ads is available here.

Another Victim of Our Irrational War on Drugs: Puppies

For Their Sake, End Prohibition

I rather think that this bit of news helps to make the case for ending the War on Drugs:


“The organization’s outrageous and heinous smuggling method of implanting heroin inside puppies is a true indication of the extent that drug dealers go to make their profit,†said Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride in a written statement.

Corner Extra: Energy Yack

by Jerry Taylor

Jerry Taylor is director of natural-resource studies.

Author's Note: The text of President Bush's remarks (taken from the speech as released by the White House before delivery) are in italics. My commentary regarding those remarks are not.

Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil,

Another way of putting it is that American consumers are oddly attracted to using the lowest cost sources of energy to meet their energy needs. It's odd to call that sensible inclination an "addiction."

which is often imported from unstable parts of the world.

The choice today is between low-cost energy that occasionally spikes in price due to producer instability and high cost energy that is less subject to disruption and thus periodic price spikes. It's not obvious that the latter arrangement is economically preferable to the former.

The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly 10 billion dollars to develop cleaner, cheaper, more reliable alternative energy sources — and we are on the threshold of incredible advances.

And what do we have to show for that $10 billion? Nothing. The market share for non-hydro renewable energy (presumably what the president is referring to when he talks about "reliable alternative energy sources") is between 1-3 percent (depending upon how you define your terms). That's scarcely an advertisement for even more lavish subsidies.

So tonight, I announce the Advanced Energy Initiative — a 22-percent increase in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy, to push for breakthroughs in two vital areas. To change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies; and clean, safe nuclear energy.

If those technologies have economic merit, no subsidy is necessary. If they don't, then no subsidy will provide it. Let's look at each of those technologies in turn.

  • Zero-emission coal-fired power plants are a figment of the imagination. As far as "clean coal" is concerned (which is not 'zero-emission' by any means), it's been the recipient of lavish government subsidy for 20 years now without even one single commercially viable facility to show for our past efforts. Those plants are still too expensive to compete in the market and investors won't touch them.
  • Wind and solar power has been the recipient of 30 years worth of government largesse, yet neither has been able to gain any significant market share despite the handouts. Apparently, hope springs eternal.
  • Nuclear power is solar power for conservatives — an energy source with every merit in the world save for the most important — economic merit. Investors — not environmentalists — are the parties that have turned against nuclear and there's no reason for government to second guess the businessmen that President Bush is otherwise so quick to praise in other contexts.

We must also change how we power our automobiles. We will increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and electric cars, and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen.

It is not government's job to design automobiles. It's track record in that regard is abominable. Government funded R&D projects to redesign the internal combustion engine are nothing new. What we constantly seem to overlook is the unmitigated track record of failure. The worse aspect of these programs isn't just that they waste taxpayer dollars — or that they subsidize research that should be paid for by the auto companies themselves — but that they divert investments from more productive paths. For instance, while the Clinton administration was engaged in a similar undertaking called "The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles" and producing nothing of consequence, Japanese auto companies — without significant government help -were busy designing the hybrid powered engines that are now all the rage within the auto industry. When government picks losers, it can set the entire domestic industry back.

We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips, stalks, or switch grass. Our goal is to make this new kind of ethanol practical and competitive within six years.

If government subsidies could guarantee that uneconomic industries would transform into economic industries, we'd all be putting synfuels into our auto tanks by now. 27 years of lavish subsidy hasn't turned ethanol into a competitive fuel (defined as one that doesn't need government support to exist in the market). There's no particular reason to think six more years of this will make any difference.

Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.

Accomplishing that goal would be economically meaningless. A supply disruption in the Middle East would increase the price of crude everywhere in the world no matter where or how it is produced.

By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment ... move beyond a petroleum-based economy ... and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past.

Rhetorically, the president has just joined the Sierra Club. I doubt, however, that the Sierra Club believes that the president's proposals achieve the goals he set out for them.

There is nothing really new in this speech as it pertains to energy except more money for old programs — the political equivalent of the triumph of hope over experience.

Sir John Cowperthwaite: A Personal Tribute

by Marian L. Tupy

Marian L. Tupy is assistant director of the Project on Global Economic Liberty specializing in the study of Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.

Sir John Cowperthwaite, who died at the age of 90 on January 21, 2006, was Hong Kong's Financial Secretary between 1961 and 1971. I had the honor of knowing him and learning from him. He was a principled and modest man, whose wisdom and courage of convictions greatly contributed to the spectacular rise of Hong Kong from poverty to prosperity. He will be missed.

I first met Sir John in 1999. As a postgraduate student at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, Sir John's alma mater, I was just beginning to be interested in economic development. Having spent a part of my life in Africa, I wanted to understand the reasons for the wealth and poverty of nations. Scotland proved a propitious setting for such a study. After all, Scotland gave birth to the liberal branch of the Enlightenment. Its leading lights included such giants of political and economic thought as Adam Ferguson, David Hume, and Adam Smith -- the celebrated author of The Wealth of Nations.

By the time I met Sir John, the success of Hong Kong had already been firmly established. Hong Kong was and is the world's freest economy and one of the greatest triumphs of the laissez-faire approach to economic development. Sir John arrived in Hong Kong in 1947. At that time, Hong Kong's residents were poorer than citizens of some African countries. The territory was small in size and had no natural resources. Many economists, Nobel laureate Gunnar Myrdal among them, predicted prosperity for Africa and a bleak future for Asia.

By the end of the 20th century, however, Hong Kong had become one of the most prosperous territories in the world. Economist Angus Maddison estimates that in 1950 Hong Kong's citizens were 40 percent poorer on a per capita basis than the citizens of the oil rich African country of Gabon. By 1998, Hong Kong's residents were over four times richer than the Gabonese. In the long run, in other words, Hong Kong's free market policies proved more important than Gabon's natural riches or its more advanced starting position.

At the time I started my studies, I did not know that the chief architect of Hong Kong's prosperity lived on the same street as I did -- a mere three houses away. Once I learned of his whereabouts, I sent him a letter asking him for a meeting. His affirmative reply, like so many of our future communications, came courtesy of the Royal Mail. Sir John was an old-fashioned man. When I finally met him, I found him to be modest but self-assured. While other colonial administrators throughout the British Empire were busy adopting statist economic policies, Sir John rejected the socialist zeitgeist. Heavily influenced by Adam Smith, Sir John let the Hong Kong economy grow unhindered by bureaucratic overreach. As he told me, "I came to Hong Kong and found the economy working just fine. So, I left it that way." Some 50 years after he first set foot in Hong Kong, Sir John was clearly enjoying seeing his policies vindicated.

In the best tradition of the British colonial service, Sir John made few public statements after his retirement, but he was eager to share his insights with the next generation of free market liberals. We spent hours talking about Hong Kong's 16 percent tax rate, business-friendly regulatory environment, lack of state subsidies, tariff-free trade relations with the rest of the world and other policies he promoted while Financial Secretary. Of all the policies that we discussed, one stands out in my mind -- if for no other reason than because it is so thoroughly counterintuitive. I asked him to name the one reform that he was most proud of. "I abolished the collection of statistics," he replied. Sir John believed that statistics are dangerous, because they enable social engineers of all stripes to justify state intervention in the economy.

At some point during our first conversation I managed to irk him by suggesting that he was chiefly known "for doing nothing." In fact, he pointed out, keeping the British political busy-bodies from interfering in Hong Kong's economic affairs took up a large portion of his time. Throughout Sir John's tenure in office, the British political elite tried to impose its own ailing socialist economic model on Britain's colonies, including Hong Kong. Sir John managed to quash all such attempts and Hong Kong benefited as a result. In 2004, the World Bank estimated, Hong Kong's per capita income adjusted for purchasing power parity (GNI PPP) was $31,510. Great Britain's 2004 GNI PPP was $31,460.

I conjecture that it was Hong Kong's obviously successful experiment with laissez-faire that helped to steel the nerves of Britain's Iron Lady, Baroness Thatcher, as she prepared to rescue her once-great country from the socialist rot. Hong Kong, a colony, lit the way for Britain, the homeland. Moreover, Hong Kong's success was vital in convincing the Chinese Communist Party that socialism was a historical dead end. Capitalist countries lead best when they lead by example, and what better example for a slave society of over a billion people than an island of freedom and prosperity right on its doorstep? Turning Hong Kong into an example worthy for China to emulate -- that, I believe, is Sir John's greatest legacy.

What about Sir John, the man? One story, I think, says it all. As a senior civil servant, Sir John was once presented with a sum of tax-payer money to upgrade his residence in Hong Kong. He refused. He told me that he could not accept a housing subsidy since that was a largess denied to other residents of the colony. In his personal conduct, just as in his economic policies, Sir John set the standard for future generations of public officials.

 I remember Jeff Fisher when he ran for office. He can't be dead.
 He was such a good man.  Please someone call him if they can.
 Email him if you can.

 Please  God, this can not happen to someone as innocent as
he was. I remember the first time Sarah,Karen and I took him
to a gay bar. He asked questions, made jokes and even sang
karaoke. He had a decent voice. He was straight but believed
in freedom for everyone.

          This is the worse news I can take since Sarah's death. I'm going
          to Orlando and take a flight to San Fransisco and find him.

           I loved that man. He treated Sarah and me like we were queens.
          God, I'm upset.

          How can this happen? Why do the good guys die?

          I hope he is just alive and hiding.

I still would like to know more about the threat of throwing acid on his companions' face at George Washington Hospital.

The decision he made I don't think... I know! I could never have made to protect those individuals and not tell anyone.  That must have drove him nuts.

I wish more people was that loyal to each other.  It must have been heartbreaking to see his companion leave him for another man.

The only good thing about this is that we finally might get some closure or at least a new direction for our country.

Does anyone have his phone #?  If he is OK, he just might be hiding from the Feds.  I hope he is safe and sound

Does anyone know anymore information on his whereabouts?

I have pasted the letter with my input added in bold print.

DEMOCRATS MUST FIGHT ALITO TO STOP ELECTION FRAUD
Submitted by Jeff Fisher Berkley on January 27, 2006 - 12:31pm

I already have contacted the Democratic House Judiciary Committee and told them I would take a lie detector test regarding the information I didn't give them on December 8, 2004. (Someone needs to call Washington)

Therefore I am going to post the letter I sent out last week with revisions that has people in Washington D.C. nervous.

My name is Jeff Fisher. I am the Democrat that obtained election fraud information on September 27, 2004 from Sean Lennon regarding Bay PointSchool in 1999, 2000 and 2002. I also obtained hard copy information on individuals who were involved in the financing, programming and manipulation of Elections in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

The information I did obtained contained among other things, an offshore bank account that linked payment to sabotaging a plane with a very important U.S. Senator on board with his family. (That has to be Paul Wellstone, that kind of information will get you killed)

Many people are wondering why I didn't reveal this information back in 2004.

Well I was going to until I received a threatening phone call on Dec.8th, 2004 prior to the public comment after the Ohio Judiciary Hearing regarding the mishaps in Ohio on Election Day throughout many black communities.

The threat was very real. I was told (via a blocked phone call to my cell, this is additional information that I didn't explain earlier last week. I humbly apologize to all of those who read my message and wondered who ordered me to follow their directions or else) to exit the room and stand out in the hallway.

Then I was told to look at a white man dressed in a suit. That man opened up his right side of his coat jacket to reveal he had three firearms. At that moment the caller began to name off names of individuals who would be harmed. (That male caller said "harmed,terminated, our choice").(Shit, that is Scary)(Again I apologize for not putting that in the original message) within the next week if  I revealed any damaging information to the Committee or if I were to give them a statement afterwards.

That is why I was acting in such a bad manner when I finally spoke.

If you remembered I screamed at Congressman John Conyers and Congressman Barney Frank.

What's  ironic is that both of these men endorsed me in my congressional race. (Again I apologize for not putting that in the original message)
The first person he, (the caller) named off was my traveling companion, whom I never told this about.

I instead had to live a life of hiding a threatening and possibly fatal secret for the next 13 months where she and the nineteen others were not aware of this situation. (That's dedication, which takes balls)You see, I fell deeply in love with this person and in the process was blacklisted from getting any form of employment which lead to that person leaving me for another man.

IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN,I WOULD DO THE SAME THING.

Her life and the nineteen others took precedent over anything else.
( I only wish more people were this caring for his fellowman)

The next two people he named were part of Verified Voting, and then he named three people on my campaign staff.

The list also contained the name of my daughter, whom I miss dearly but I can not jeopardize her life either.

I will not give out any more information on the rest because it took a year to alienate myself from them, to create bitterness toward me so they could live out their lives in peace.

Back to my true friend, that I withheld information from for their protection, I am now telling more about how our own government treats its own citizens. (I can never be in touch with her again, her life is in jeopardy if I do so. I love her as if she was Mother Nature herself.) (WOW, this guy is really in love)This is not a tangent. I am posting my message because this Administration will destroy, damage, harm anyone who opposes it, big or small.

New information: I never told my friend about being confronted on December 14, 2004 by two FBI agents in a bookstore in Georgetown. These agents showed me their badges and informed me that I said things at the protest in Lafayette Park that were not acceptable to the Administration. They also informed me that they knew I withheld information from Jeff Fativa in the West Palm Beach FBI office the previous month. They then gave me a stern warning that I should remain quiet and not talk anymore, especially to anyone in the Party
.
Well, I didn't take their advice. I did talk to DNC General Counsel,Joe Sandler and had a drink with him. The following day I was rushed to  George Washington Hospital because I couldn't move anything on my leftside of my body. They diagnosed me with experiencing Todd's Paralysis.It took three days to recuperate. (Somebody call the hospital to verify this)

I couldn't say anything to my friend or Joe Sandler or anyone on my campaign staff because of the threats I received. More importantly,while I was in the emergency room, a stranger (male) came into the room and told me quietly that I should keep quiet or my friend (he said hername) would have acid thrown on her face. (Holy Shit! These people are Bastards)I was on my side and unable to see the individual, all I could hear was his deep voice and smell garlic from his breath. If you are askingwhere was she? She was out in the hallway (I found this out later)talking to some ill person and giving them comfort.

Many people on the net want me to come out with the information all at once. (Additional note: Some people have contacted me from the media and told me that my personal life needs to be kept private. Well, I ran my congressional race in 2004 by being transparent so the people could know the real man and what America and the people he wanted to represent were all about. I wear my heart and soul on my sleeve.)(A Congressman represents his District, his State and his Country)(Again another apology to those who received my letter earlier last week)

Some of the people who claim to be fighting for Election Reform on the Internet are not really patriots. One of them poses as one but has been know for bombing federal facilities. (Call Homeland Security, oh yeah, they won't do anything, he's a Democrat)  know who that person is. I met him on December 8th in the hall an hour before I received my life changing phone call.

Additional note: The bomber has contacted me via another person and then directly, both via email stating that he wasn't the bomber. I smoked him out, yet he prevails on the Internet. He continues to play both sides and is a grave danger to all Americans who want to see Justice prevail. This man even gave me vital information about how they were going to discredit me, specifically because they had turned my original campaign web-site into a pornographic site. I investigated that and contacted the company that managed it; they are in San Francisco, ironic that I ended up in the Bay area. I must have a truehigher power, I am not like George Bush, so get it straight, Democrats can believe in God too.

Back to the point of the matter, I spent one hour on my cell phone with this company informing them that my name was being slandered and libeled and that because I was a federal candidate in 2004, I would be in contact with the FBI. I also told them that my phone is being constantly monitored by the Secret Service.

They shut down the pathway within the hour so it can no longer be directed toward that pornographic nonsense. (That takes some very excellent phone skills, where did he learn that?)

The pressure of knowing this information has taken its toll on me. My year has been great at times and horrible at times, but the main constant denominator is that I only want America to know the truth and have our Constitution obeyed, respected and loved by those that we vote to represent us.

I have not and will not take money for this cause. I am about the lawof the land, not the greed that has temporarily kidnapped the law and her lawmakers.
(I hope he takes donations in small amounts, at least to survive, it's rare in politics see someone turn down money)

Rep. Barbara Lee introduced a Resolution of Inquiry [H.Res. 375 Re: the
Downing Street Minutes] to investigate Bush Administration deceit and
wrongdoing leading up to the Iraq War. The After Downing Street
Coalition (*www.afterdowningstreet.org*
<http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/>) is working with Rep. Lee's office
and others implementing an ongoing strategy to gain House
Congressional co-sponsors for this Resolution of Inquiry.

You can help us tremendously! We are running out of time. Congress
re-convenes on September 6th and the House International Relations
Committee could vote on this Resolution that day. We need you to call up
your local Congressional member's D.C. office as early as possible on
Tuesday Sept. 6th. [Go to http://www.house.gov/  to get your Member's
D.C. tel. #]

Please ask for the Legislative Director or the person in charge of Iraq
or foreign policy. If they tell you that the representative will not be
co-sponsoring H. Res. 375, ask for the reasons. Also try to determine
what it would take for them to be a co-sponsor. If your Congressional
representative is a Republican, mention that Rep. Jim Leach, Republican
from Iowa, is co-sponsoring the ROI (Resolution of Inquiry.) If your
Member is a Democrat, mention that Leach and Tom Lantos, the Ranking
Minority Member of the International Relations Committee, are
co-sponsoring. Ask how they can refuse to cosponsor when a Republican is
doing it.

We need TWO more Republicans and ALL of the Democrats to become
co-sponsors in order for H. Res. 375 to pass out of the International
Relations Committee. We can't thank you enough for your participation in
this important action. We also need specific information to follow up on
these calls. Find out if your Representative seems willing or reluctant
to co-sponsor and then report back to us at
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1887

Check the status of your Representative. Here are the current
co-sponsors: http://www.house.gov/lee/roi/roi.htm

Ask for a fax # and / or email address to send copies of the Resolution
of Inquiry and the actual Downing Street Minutes for the Representative
or staffer(s) to look at, if need be.Then quickly fax or email these
materials to the proper address or number. We can't assume your
Congressperson is aware of these materials, so here they are:

ROI: a one-page PDF of the Resolution of Inquiry you can fax or email.
*http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/roi-onepage.pdf*

Link to the ROI (scroll down):
*http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/902*

DSM: Downing Street Minutes, July 23, 2002 - Also known as the Downing
Street Memo. A one-page PDF of the first Downing St. Minutes you can
email to your Representative and print out.
  *http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/dsmemo.pdf*

Link to the Downing Street Minutes:
*http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1*

It would be helpful to know if your Representative signed Rep. Conyers'
letter on 5/5/05 Calling on the President to Answer Questions Concerning
the "secret Downing Street memo."

Here's a PDF list of Members of Congress who signed the letter:
*http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/letters/bushletterlistofsigners.pdf*


Here's a PDF of the letter itself:
*http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/letters/bushsecretmemoltr5505.pdf*


Also if your Member of Congress is on the International Relations
Committee here is the link. Members of the International Relations
Committee:

Finally, AfterDowningStreet.org has a How to Lobby Kit which includes
specific tips for setting up, organizing, and conducting successful
meetings with Members of Congress.
*http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/538*

We cannot thank you enough for your willingness to help get  Rep.
Barbara Lee's H. Res. 375. passed out of the I.R. Committee. Your
efforts really count!

Subject: CRITICAL ACTION ALERT: Meet With Your Congressperson About Downing St. Minutes! 		mike_hersh_d...
Offline Offline
Send Email Send Email
  
I am working in a task force cooperating with Rep. Barbara Lee's
office and others implementing an ongoing strategy to investigate
deceit and wrongdoing leading up to the Iraq War. You can help us
tremendously! Even if you can only get one or two people to go along
with you, we need you to set up a meeting with your Member of Congress
to ask them to co-sponsor Rep. Lee's Resolution of Inquiry [H.Res.
375].

We also need specific information to follow up on these meetings. We
need you to find out which members seem open to cosponsoring or
reluctant to cosponsor and then report back to us. Please ask your
member of Congress if they don't want to cosponsor, why not and what
do they need to cosponsor?  You can then continue discussions with
their Representative, and the After Downing Street Coalition can help.

Here are a few suggestions for having a successful meeting:

* Before the meeting:

Check the status of your Representative. Here are current co-sponsors:
http://www.house.gov/lee/roi/roi.htm  If your Representative has
already cosponsored the ROI, then this is a "thank you" meeting. If
not, then this is a lobbying meeting and critically important to our
efforts.

Call the Congresspersons' office to confirm the date and time for the
meeting. Request to meet with the Representative, the Chief of Staff
or Legislative Aide. Only settle for someone else as a last resort, as
this meeting will focus on a very specific request for action:
co-sponsorship of the Resolution of Inquiry,

Ask for a fax # and / or email address to send copies of the
Resolution of Inquiry and at the Minutes from the first Downing St.
meeting for the Representative or staffer(s) to look at before the
meeting. Then quickly fax or email these materials to the proper
address or number. We can't assume your Congressperson is aware of
these materials, so here they are:

ROI: a one-page PDF of the Resolution of Inquiry you can email to your
Representative and print out to familiarize your group and bring to
the meeting:
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/roi-onepage.pdf

Link to the ROI (scroll down):
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/902

DSM: Downing Street Minutes, July 23, 2002 - Also known as the Downing
Street Memo. A one-page PDF of the first Downing St. Minutes you can
email to your Representative and print out to familiarize your group
and bring to the meeting:
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/dsmemo.pdf

Link to the first meeting minutes:
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1

Print out several copies of the Resolution (ROI) and Minutes (DSM) so
you and your partners can familiarize yourselves with the key
documents, and also to present them to the Representative or staffers
for them to look over at the start of the meeting so everyone can
refer to them during the meeting.

It would be helpful to know if your Representative signed Rep.
Conyers' letter on 5/5/05 Calling on the President to Answer Questions
Concerning the "secret Downing Street memo" (PDFs Members of Congress
who signed
http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/letters/bushletterlistofsigne
rs.pdf the letter
http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/letters/bushsecretmemoltr5505
.pdf).

Also if your Member of Congress is on the International Relations
Committee or belongs to key caucuses within the House who have not yet
co-sponsored:.

Members of the Out of Iraq Caucus,
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1101

Members of the Black Caucus,
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1102

Members of the International Relations Committee
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1103

Depending on these factors, your Representative may be very willing or
less willing to cosponsor the ROI. All of these are priority Members
of Congress and it's essential you meet with them even if you can't
get more than one or two people to go with you.

AfterDowningStreet.org has a How to Lobby Kit which includes specific
tips for setting up, organizing, and conducting successful meetings
with Members of Congress here:
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/538

* At the meeting:

Limit the number of people attending the meeting to 10 or so if
possible, and those speaking during the meeting to 1 - 3. We won't
have time for a lot of interplay until after the meeting, when anyone
can say anything informally.

Present the ROI and DSM to the Congressperson and give them time to
look them over during the brief introductions.

Stay focused on the ROI and co-sponsorship specifically, not the DSM,
the Bush Administration and / or the war generally. Some if not most
Congress people will want to turn this into a campaign speech etc.
Politely prevent that from happening.

Specifically ask if the Congressperson is willing to cosponsor the
ROI, explain this is the reason for the meeting, ask if not, why not,
and especially ask what the Rep. needs to know or see in order to
cosponsor. Determine whether the Rep. is sincerely interested in
cosponsoring, or if he or she is just saying it to appease
constituents.

* After the meeting:

After Downing Street would like to know if the Rep. is willing to
cosponsor, and if not what their specific reservations might be.
Please include this information in your reports:

1. Member of Congress: name, state, district
2. Is he or she willing to Cosponsor: yes, no, maybe?
3. If YES thank them. If NO or MAYBE ask what they need to cosponsor?
4. Any additional comments you think would be useful in planning
follow-ups.

Please send this information to me at mikehersh (at) mikehersh.com and
contact me with any questions or suggestions or ask for any other
help.

Thanks!

U R G E N T   A C T I O N - Progressive Democrats of America
TAKE ACTION HERE:
http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/bills/?bill=7877436

Thanks in part to an overwhelming show of public outrage over the
implications of the Downing Street Minutes, the light of inquiry is
finally shining into the darkest corners of this administration's
shady dealings. Suddenly, things are moving very quickly.

On July 17, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) - along with 34
co-sponsors - introduced a Resolution of Inquiry in the House of
Representatives. If it passes, the White House and the State
Department will be required to "transmit all information relating to
communication with officials of the United Kingdom between January 1,
2002, and October 16, 2002, relating to the policy of the United
States with respect to Iraq."

This potentially paradigm-shifting resolution must be voted on in
committee within fourteen legislative days of its introduction. The
resolution will almost certainly be voted on in committee between
September 6 and 16, because if it is not, Lee can demand a vote of the
full House. If left standing, however, the resolution must be taken up
again by September 16.

Here's where your help is needed: the more Congress Members in the
full House who co-sponsor the resolution, the more likely it is to be
approved by members of the committee. Now is the time to bring full
pressure to bear on those representatives who remain uncommitted and
to do all we can to get as many members as possible to sponsor this
resolution.

When writing your representatives, tell them that information in the
Downing Street Minutes strongly suggests that President Bush
intentionally deceived Congress about the reasons for going to war.
Tell them that if such is not the case, the administration should be
eager to release the information contained in the additional official
documents and see the President vindicated. Either way, Congress and
the American people deserve to know the truth. Full disclosure is
essential. No one is above the law. We will not stand for secrecy in
our White House.

We have only a few days in which to urge our representatives to keep
this pivotal resolution alive. Demand that committee members not only
vote for it, but vow to discuss it at length and engage in substantive
debate when the committee meets, forcing opposing members to go on
record with their reasons for voting it down.

The future of our country hangs in the balance. And, as always, PDA is
here. Progressive representatives are working alongside the citizenry,
pushing for truth and justice. Your participation and support are
making this all possible. Thank you for all you're doing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

   CAMPAIGN FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE | www.ourfuture.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------

Dear supporter,

Tom DeLay's blatant abuse of power knows no bounds.  In the dark of
night (around 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning), DeLay slipped a $1.5
billion giveaway into the energy bill to big oil companies - including
Halliburton and Marathon Oil.  No Surprise.  Oil and gas companies are
DeLay's top career contributors.

Tom DeLay's dirty deed benefits his own oil and gas buddies in his
hometown of Sugar Land, Texas.  His slippery insertion doubles the tax
incentives to the richest oil companies of them all, Halliburton and
Marathon Oil.  As watchdog Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) so aptly said, "If
Congress has an extra $1.5 billion to give away, the money should be
used to help families struggling to pay for soaring gasoline prices -
not to further enrich oil and gas companies that are rolling in
profits."

Now is the time to act!  Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on the energy
bill.  Please tell your Senators to send this bill back to conference
to remove the outrageous provision that DeLay slipped in under cover
of night.  Tell them to reject Tom DeLay's under-handed tactics and
corporate favoritism.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=3794803&l=101112

DeLay's latest step is all too typical of how today's corrupt Congress
operates, and the Senate should put an end to it now!  Here's how it
works: corporate, big oil lobbyists - working for companies like
Halliburton and Marathon Oil - shower corporate money on Tom DeLay in
exchange for their payoffs, DeLay does their bidding, favoring their
interests over yours.

Your United States Senator can reject DeLay's arrogant tactics when
they vote tomorrow. Urge them to do so now.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=3794803&l=101112

It's time to reclaim our democracy.  Your Senators have an obligation
to represent you - not to cower to Tom DeLay and the big oil corporate
interests.  We don't have much time - as the bill will be voted on in
the Senate tomorrow.  Ask your Senator to do everything in their power
to stop this bill.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=3794803&l=101112

Thank you very much for taking this urgent action!

Sincerely,
Ellen Miller, Deputy Director
Campaign for America's Future

P.S.  Please circulate this urgent call to action far and wide, to
rally as many people as you can to reject Tom DeLay's $1.5 billion
corporate give-away!  Thank you again!

Congresswoman Barbara Lee and 29 co-sponsors are backing a Resolution
of Inquiry which, if passed, will require the White House and the
State Department to "transmit all information relating to
communication with officials of the United Kingdom between January 1,
2002, and October 16, 2002, relating to the policy of the United
States with respect to Iraq."

If the Downing Street Documents are not accurate, this is the White
House's opportunity to prove it. We need you to ask your Congress
Member to co-sponsor. Many, even possibly some Republicans, will
co-sponsor this, but they have to be asked. You can help! Please do
all three of the following:

Email your congress member:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/50

Phone your congress member:
http://www.usalone.com/get_instantcongress.htm

Fax your congress member:
http://www.usalone.com/get_instantcongress.htm

Also, phone your congress member's district office nearest you, and
ask for a short meeting with them. Bring them a flyer and the text of
the resolution, and ask them to co-sponsor it. They're out of
Washington and in their home districts the whole month of August, so
they ought to have time for you.

We all know if the voters hear our side of the issues, most agree with
us. We all lament our inability to get our message out to the public.
Activists and media professionals pooled our talents and came up with
a solution. We're raising funds to develop and publicize paid and free
media - mini-Fahrenheit 911s - to communicate un- and under-reported
facts and analysis to the public.

The DNC, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, MoveOn and others have been doing
this with success, but because of political and other constraints,
they've been too respectful toward Republicans and avoided some
critically important issues. We provide a more assertive and
controversial message, while sticking to the truth and focusing on

To maximize bang for the buck, we'll multiply the impact of our paid
ads by gaining attention and free media with local and national
events. Each success is building on previous efforts. Each step gets
the word out and raises more funds to sustain our efforts. We are

If your congressperson has not co-sponsored the Resolution of Inquiry
into the Downing Street Minutes Rep. Barbara Lee sponsored, please ask
them to support her efforts. It's easy to do and would make a huge
difference. As Rep. Lee told a town hall crowd Saturday, July 23 the
Resolution of Inquiry is the big first step to compel the Bush
Administration answer questions and deliver key information about
their rush to war. Rep. Lee and her cosponsors need our support to
make this information public. You can help.

Check the list below for your member of Congress. If he or she is on
the list, please write and call to offer your thanks and support. If
he or she hasn't cosponsored, you should send a hand-written letter
asking them to co-sponsor the ROI. Obviously take a constructive tone,
because it's possible your Rep is about to support the ROI - or may
have since the list was last updated. Please call to discuss or - even
more effectively - set up a meeting with him or her to discuss the
Downing Street Minutes and related issues.

When you lobby your member of Congress by writing, calling or meeting,
you should stress how important this issue is to you , your friends
and family. Then, to emphasize this point, contact everyone you know
and ask them to do the same. You have a great opportunity to set up a
face-to-face meeting during the upcoming Congressional recess.
Democracy for America is supporting lobby days in August focused on
Downing Street: http://www.DemocracyforAmerica.com

You can get more details about the Downing Street Minutes and ongoing
efforts to hold the Bush Administration accountable from the After
Downing Street Coalition - http://www.afterdowningstreet.org

Find contact information for the media to demand they cover the
Resolution of Inquiry, the Downing Street Minutes, and other
critically important stories here: Media Watch Project -
http://www.democrats.com/media

While you're at it, ask the media to give an articulate, intelligent
mom who lost her son in Iraq a chance to tell her compelling story on

Here is a list of the current co-sponsors:

  Rep. Barbara Lee
  Rep. John Conyers

  Rep. Danny Davis
  Rep. William Delahunt
  Rep. Lane Evans

  Rep. Bennie Thompson
  Rep. Diane Watson
  Rep. Robert Wexler
  Rep. Lynn Woolsey
  Rep. Maxine Waters

If your representative is not on here, you should contact them ASAP
write this letter. (Where is George Miller?  Tauscher?  Van Hollen?
Pelosi??)  You can find contact info for your representative here:
http://www.house.gov/writerep/

The following is a simple sample letter that you can use verbatim or
use your own words. Hand-written letters are best.

Representative [...]
  1234 Any Street
  Your City or Town, Your State, Your Zip

Dear Representative [...]

I am writing to respectfully request that you consider co-sponsoring a
Resolution of Inquiry regarding the conduct of President George W.
Bush, Vice-President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld, and other designated officials, for specifically making
false statements in the execution of their official duties. This
Administration has manipulated the media and concealed information
vital to public discourse in a democracy.

Therefore I urge you to do what is right and co-sponsor the Resolution
of Inquiry.

Sincerely,
