AFL-CIO Unions
are the key to empowering American workers and enable them to collectively fight for
better pay and better working conditions vs. bloated CEO salaries, maximizing corporate
profit, downsizing, pension fund draining, and an inflated stock market. The
AFL-CIO, or the American Federation of Labor- Congress of Industrial Organizations, under
John Sweeney's leadership, has become
much more militant, winning an increase in the minimum wage for America's workers in a
Republican-controlled congress, launching Union Summer in 1996, spending 35 million in 1996 in a political election campaign against the radical
right in Congress, and is probably the most powerful force on the left today. In
1998, the AFL-CIO is again spending millions in their anti-radical right political
campaign.NOW ,

rescue efforts of firefighter and
rescue workers highlight what is best about America. However, the
outpouring of anger against the attackers is pushing America into a war of
unknown size, unknown duration, and an unknown number of future victims of
war. I urge President Bush to be very careful in fighting his new war.alternative media and the American peace movement .America finds itself at war with the
Taliban of Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden's international terrorist

additional stress, death, and suffering in America and in Afghanistan.
If you want more than the American establishment's in-depth coverage of
the war, I invite you review the alternative media and the American peace movement .people (vs. the repressive Taliban) through desperately needed humanitarian aid
and the strong backing of rival Afghan factions in addition to the
expected aerial decimation of the Taliban and/or the possible cutoff of the Taliban's supply network , I believe America will have a
greater chance of quickly defeating the Taliban. (Defeating a global
network of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists and/or Islamic
fundamentalists who, if enraged, might become terrorists might be far more
difficult.)solutions . [Note:
In the 1991 U.S.-Iraq war, George Bush senior neglected to either prevent
or solve the problems caused by that war, and we're still at low-level war
with Iraq 10 years later.] Here are a few solutions I would
like to see: 1) solving Afghanistan's humanitarian crisis by feeding the millions of desperate Afghan refugees , 2) rebuilding a devastated
Afghanistan under a more moderate government (and hopefully helping to
defuse anti-Americanism in the Middle East), 3) guaranteeing the rights of women in Afghanistan , and 4) defusing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.project energy independence to wean America from Mideast Oil, promote fuel efficiency , save money, and start to shift towards renewable
energy (particularly wind and solar power). 2) Jubilee 2000 , or the
canceling of the impoverishing debt of the world's poorest 1 billon people.
3) Empowering women worldwide with affordable and accessible voluntary
birth control and a global campaign to limit population growth . 4) A
global campaign to shift to building an ecologically sustainable society
that also addresses the issue of global warming and climate change.
5) Continued anti-nuclear proliferation efforts and continued peacemaking
and conflict resolution efforts. 6) Effective U.S. campaign finance
reform that includes full public financing of election campaigns . alternative media and the American peace movement .
(FYI, at least a few dedicated peace activists are still holding out for
peace now.) Once again, good luck.Afghanistan .
I don't understand why 19 kamikaze terrorists attacked the U.S. and
brought down the full wrath of the U.S. superpower/empire upon them and
their allies. Afghanistan was a disaster before the war, and it is even more of a disaster now . (By "disaster" I mean a legacy of war, poverty , landmines , civil war, drought ,
at least 70% malnutrition, 64% illiteracy , oppression of women , possible mass starvation , and now daily U.S. bombing and millions of refugees .) Meanwhile, the U.S., used
to fighting limited wars overseas, has had to cope with kamikaze terrorists hijacking planes and using them as
missiles and bioterrorists
using anthrax in New York, Washington, DC, and elsewhere in the first 2
months of this very unconventional war. I hope we can minimize the
damage caused by this war, prevent (or at least minimize) any more
terrorism, prevent mass starvation in Afghanistan, end the war sooner rather than later, and move on to constructive
solutions like those I previously described. I also wish U.S.
President George Bush and the U.S. government good luck in doing the
best they can to manage the U.S. response to this crisis .

Their mournful protest of major human rights violations by some notorious

handed out green Empowerment cards promoting my website and sharing my
knowledge.) I was surprised by the lack of press coverage (except
for an unusual radical spin in The Washington Post sports page that day). Unfortunately,
Jericho '98 was not organized enough to maintain their website and post
the names, pictures, and stories of I believe over 100 imprisoned U.S. political activists.

Sept. 24-Oct. 2, 2001 protests at the shortened World Bank
and IMF meeting
protected by a massive multimillion dollar police presence that the DC government
(that recently closed DC General Hospital to save money) was shaking down
the Federal Government and the World Bank and IMF to help pay for, various other
protests took place, particularly in the spring. The
April protests in Quebec, Canada and
July protests in Genoa, Italy were the
largest and most confrontational. I attended
many of the rallies in DC, including the NOW pro-choice rally on Earth Day, and a Free Mumia rally in Philadelphia. Every
rally I attended this year was nonviolent and peaceful, unlike Quebec and Genoa,
and I hope the police and protesters will remain 100% nonviolent at the Sept. 24-Oct. 2, 2001 protests in DC. I also suspect the cops may use the
pre-emptive strike
strategy they used in April 2000 to try to violate and squelch the 1st
Amendment rights of the protesters, and I believe they should be pressed to
disavow this unconstitutional tactic.
