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.

Don't miss this historic vote

Subject: Don't miss this historic vote

Public Citizen
Dear David,

Over the past week, we've asked you to make calls to your representative and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to demand a vote on the only real health care reform that can cover all Americans: single-payer. You are being heard!

A caduceus umbrella symbolizing health care for all
Contact your rep. today! It's time for a vote on single-payer!
We just learned that there is a strong possibility that Speaker Pelosi WILL allow a vote on single-payer. The vote may happen as early as tomorrow (Friday) morning. Whether it is offered as a stand-alone bill or as an amendment to the health care reform package, this will be the FIRST vote ever held on single-payer health care in the full House of Representatives.

Urge your representative NOW to stand with you and the American people on this historic vote. Tell your representative to vote "YES!" to Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) single-payer bill!

In the past, many members of Congress have said they would support single-payer "if it came to a vote" but that a vote just wasn't politically feasible. Now, a vote is here, and it is our job to urge lawmakers to do the right thing. They cannot miss this historic opportunity to cast their votes for real health care for all - a single-payer system.

Time is short, so please click here to send a quick email to your representative now!

Among all the reform proposals, a single-payer, Medicare-for-All system is the only "option" for health care reform that will end the domination of the insurance industry and ensure that every one of the more than 45 million uninsured will receive quality health care.

Let's not back down now. Continue to stand up for health care for all!

Thank you for all you do!
