Free Leonard Peltier

Free Leonard Peltier
The government under pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word “liberated” loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view the use of the words “collateral damage” when they kill innocent men, women and children. They describe people defending their homelands as terrorists, savages and hostiles . . . My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it is too late—see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. --Leonard Peltier, Annual Message January 2004 (Leonard Peltier is now serving 31st year as an internationally recognized Political Prisoner of the United States Government)

Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'



Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'


The current 'Miss Universe' Dayana Mendoza (formerly Miss Venezuela) and 'Miss America' Crystal Stewart visited US troops stationed in Guantanamo Bay on March 20th, the New York Times reports. Here's Mendoza's account of the visit from her pageant blog last Friday. She says the trip "was a loooot of fun!"

This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience...All the guys from the Army were amazing with us. We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting. We took a ride with the Marines around the land to see the division of Gitmo and Cuba while they were informed us with a little bit of history.


The water in Guantánamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me of Guantánamo Bay :)

I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful.

Urgent Phone Action: Stop The Wars Now By Stopping The Funding Now


What?? ANOTHER Emergency War Supplemental Funding Bill Already?

We need everyone to call their House member right now and demand they
vote NO on H.R. 2346, for CONTINUED funding of all these disastrous
and counterproductive wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and soon
everywhere else.

Here are the latest tested good tollfree numbers for you:
800-828-0498, 866-338-1015 or 866-220-0044.

Wasn't that the Bush way of denying reality, one "Emergency" war
funding bill after another? The wars need to STOP now. And all vague
and shifting promises of future withdrawals aside, only stopping the
FUNDING will ever make the wars stop.

And please also submit the action page below, after making your phone
call, so there will be a written record of your protest

Stop War Funding Action Page:
http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum992.php

A couple weeks ago 51 Democrats and 9 Republicans voted against H.R.
2346, the latest run around the end of the budget [text of bill].
Only now they have added in a giveaway to bail out MORE foreign banks
with American taxpayer money, via blind and massive additional
funding for the IMF. If ONLY those Democrats who voted "No" the first
time do so again, we can end this utter insanity.

What are the so-called "liberals" in Congress really telling us, that
they will only vote to end the war funding when their vote DOESN'T
really matter. Now that the Republicans are all hopped up about the
IMF con job, just those same 51 liberals can take a stand that really
means something.

So where are they? Is a huge giveaway to foreign banks such a drop
dead policy priority that they will compromise their opposition to
all these illegal wars?? Are the Republicans so petrified of being
seen as not "supporting the troops" even slightly even one time that
they will vote for the bill anyway? Of course not, that is just for
worthless political cowards who call themselves [fill in party name]

It's time to call these people in Congress out who are masquerading
as our representatives. And AFTER we defeat this particular pro war
vote, we need to keep making it stick.
