Remarks at Presidio Permanente No Dal Molin, Vicenza, Italy, Dec. 16, 2007

Di David Swanson

Voglio ringraziare il Presidio permanente e il movimento No Dal Molin per avermi invitato, insieme a Desiree, a Vicenza. Vicenza per me è speciale per vari motivi. 20 anni fa sono venuto qui come studente a Bassano del Grappa, ho vissuto a Marostica e venivo spesso a Vicenza. Ho fatto amicizia con persone che ora per me sono come una famiglia, sono tornato diverse volte a trovarli e sono venuti loro negli Stati uniti.

Remarks at Anti-Base Rally in Vicenza, Italy, Dec. 15, 2007

By David Swanson

By David Swanson

The people of the northern Italian city of Vicenza, with help from activists around Italy, the rest of Europe, and even in the United States, are continuing to block the proposed construction of a new U.S. military base on their soil. When a company laid underground fiber-optic cables at the site of the proposed base, activists fill a junction box with cement.

How to Vote in Primaries and Not Be an Idiot

A Short Instructions Manual
By David Swanson

1. Virtually nobody votes in primaries (or caucuses) compared to general elections. Therefore, each individual primary vote is worth many times what it is in the general election. And, it’s more likely to be counted, since there’s typically less fraud and abuse of the system in primaries.
