HomeFromIraqNow.org is a national campaign to end the war in Iraq by using binding statewide ballot initiatives around the country to pressure the administration to bring our troops home now.
We are currently placing an initiative on the November 2006 ballot in Massachusetts to prevent the Governor from sending any more National Guard troops to Iraq, and we are actively exploring similar initiatives in other states…
What about other states?
Including Massachusetts, 24 states have a voter-sponsored ballot initiative process. They are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. If you’re interested in getting an initiative on the ballot in one of these states, email campaign@HomeFromIraqNow.org.
A Look At Those Who Died In Iraq. The NYT‘s cares?
Pentagon Clearance for Judith Miller Questioned
Senator Byron Dorgan, speaking on the Senate floor yesterday, pondered the rules governing authorized access by reporters to classified information.
His reflections were prompted by an assertion from New York Times’ Judith Miller that she had held a security clearance for access to classified information while embedded with a military unit in Iraq. That assertion was later modified to indicate that Ms. Miller had signed some kind of non-disclosure agreement.
“How can you give a nondisclosure form to a reporter and then show them secret or top secret material? Take a look at the law, which I will read tomorrow in the Senate. That is not what is allowed,” Senator Dorgan said. See his remarks here.
Greetings, Diane. I hadn’t heard this about Dorgan. Thanks for posting it here. I’ll definitely be interested in hearing what he has to say about it tomorrow.
I think I’ve almost got my bloody template straightened out (yay!). What a mess!
Yesterday on the Daily Show, Al Franken expressed a hope that the Democrats will take the Senate in 2006, and a real investigation will begin. Assuming we all last that long, and assuming the Democrats don’t blow it again, it will be morbidly fascinating to see if they somehow manage to scrape together enough backbone to do it—but oh, it would be a nice thing to see.
Peace, R. G.
They’ll have a tough go getting elected dog catcher running top-down, neoliberal campaigns and from all indications I’m seeing they appear resigned to do so.
The Democrats are on life-support. They’re just too blinkered to know it.
