Everyone Will Have Been for Peace After the Fact
By David Swanson
Back in March 2007, John Stauber was for forcing tough actions for peace from the new Democratic Congress, and David Sirota was opposed. Now the two of them chat as though we were all for the same principled push for peace all along. This is good news, because – to his credit – Sirota has improved his position. But just wait until we actually achieve peace. Everybody and their brother will have been sacrificing for it. And that will be a good thing.

Charlottesville Daily Progress columnist Bryan McKenzie reported on our recent protest of Bush at Monticello that we had made our point of diminishing a citizen naturalization ceremony? We did?

The events and surrounding media hoopla, however, begged questions of what patriotism is and why it’s useful, so we sought answers in many different places. Here’s what we found: READ THE REST AND POST YOUR COMMENT.

Boston Rebelled Against Dick Cheney on July 4
Story and photos are at Boston Indymedia, and apparently nowhere else. If we’d protested Bush that day only miles away on the road and not inside the event, nobody would have heard about our protest either.

Why I Interrupted Bush at Monticello
By David Swanson
I’ll be uploading video and photos, so watch http://afterdowningstreet.org
When Bush opened his mouth to speak I shouted “Defend the Constitution, Impeach Bush!” I repeated that several times, as people nearby knocked me over, cops handcuffed me, people gave me smiles and thumbs up signs. They threw me out and a couple of more defenders of our Constitution behind me, and then a few more, and then a few more. The handcuffed citizens who’d done their duty kept
