Iraq. You can read the letters and sign on if you wish at the link
below.

2. Expect troop levels to go up over the
summer, current tours extended, and no end in sight.

3. Report from Stockholm International
Peace Research Institute suggests that we haven't gotten a whole lot
for all the money we've spent. Almost half of the $956 billion was
spent by the US, with Japan next closest at......5%.

4. Kerry is making gains despite not
being very well known by a large number of voters. Bush continues to
slide.

5. Check out what happened in each of
these 5 votes - don't waste your time looking up how our NH guys voted
- as you might guess, they disagreed with each of these proposals.

6. Some Iraqis, up to 80% in one recent
poll, view all troops as occupiers no matter what.

1. Republicans can't handle the truth
2. Point the bony finger
3. Questions Bush won't answer in upcoming speeches

6. As if Bush doesn't already frighten the heck out of us
******************
1. Sperry isn't exactly a liberal left-wing America-hating type, and
he has some pretty dunning things to say about Republicans. It has
been very interesting watching the mounting criticism from the right
wing vis-a-vis Bush and Co.

2. For some reason I find these articles I
get on the economy sort of interesting, though I am hardly qualified
to know if these people actually know what they are talking about.
Something tells me they just might, however.

3. Twelve questions that Bush will
probably never answer, about Iraq, though if he were to answer them
I'm sure we'd all find it very enlightening.

4. Shocking news - the founders of our
country were....LIBERALS! No wonder Bushites want to destroy it!

5. Gotta love the creativity - check this
site out! They reach a lot of people for pennies with these signs.

6. If what is reported here is true, Bush
is even more frightening than we thought.
