Special Report:
The Bush record on issues important to working families.
Jobs
Job Loss At All Time High According to the Department of Labor statistics, more than 3.2 million private-sector jobs - 110,345 each month - have been lost since January 2001. By July 2003, 9 million were oficially jobless - but experts estimate the real figure is closer to 15 million.
U.S. jobs that pay well have disappeared as a result of the
recession that began in 2001. Critics have blamed the Bush administration's tax cuts,
trade laws that encourage companies to move jobs overseas and the unwillingness of Bush
and Congress to embarace job-creating programs to repair the nation's roads, schools and
rail and water systems for making the situation worse.
Unemployment Insurance
The number of workers facing long-term unemployment and
unable to find work before exhausting their unemployment benefits is at an all-time high.
The Bush administration and congrssional Republicans refused to extend unemployment
benefits until the public opinion forced action. Unfortunately, workers who already have
exhausted their benefits were not included in the extension.
Education
The Bush Budget and Education
President Bush's budget eliminates 35 programs and cuts or
freezes many others. Overall, the budget that Bush submitted to Congress provides the smallest
increase in seven years, just a 2.8% increase. According to the Economic Policy
Institute, the most troubling aspect of the President's budget is that it spends 50 times
more on additional tax cuts for the top 1% that it does on education.
Early Childhood Initiatives
The Bush budget proposal for early childhood programs are
too small to serve any additional children under Head Start and would cut funding for the
Even Start program.
Bush's budget for Head Start, America's early childhood
development program, increases less than the projected rate of inflation for 2003. The
Children's Defense Fund estimates that only 3 out of 5 eligible infants and toddlers can
participate in this valuable school readiness program.
What are they trying to hide?
ASSOCIATED PRESS - September 18, 2003
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Invoking national security, President Bush has renewed an exemption allowing the Air Force to keep mum about its top-secret operations at Groom Lake, also known as Area 51, in southern Nevada.
Bush signed a memorandum on Tuesday declaring it of "paramount interest" to exempt the base from disclosing classified information.
President Clinton first issued the exemption in 1995 in response to two lawsuits filed by injured workers in Nevada seeking information about the military's environmental practices at the site. It has been renewed yearly.
In renewing the order, Bush also cited the Nevada suits brought by injured workers and Helen Frost and Stella Kasza, widows of two men who worked at the military base.
In their 1994 lawsuits, Frost and Kasza alleged that their husbands were exposed to hazardous and toxic materials while working at Groom Lake, which sits along a dry lake bed in Lincoln County, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The area is in a no-fly zone and closed to the public.
Attorney Jonathan Turley, who represents the families, said the presidential directive keeps secret documents and testimony that he believes would link Area 51 to the men's deaths.
"It is baffling to see the government continue to cover up what went on at Area 51," said Turley, who is also a George Washington University law professor. "It is clear that there were criminal crimes and that government officials continue to resist any disclosure that would confirm such criminal content."
The 1-page memo exempts the Air Force from following federal, state or local solid waste and hazardous waste laws if classified information would be disclosed.
The government has acknowledged the existence of the Groom Lake installation but has not disclosed what it does at the facility.
The secrecy has fueled speculation about UFOs, aliens and other strange occurrences around Area 51. Residents of the nearby town of Rachel say the UFO talk began years ago when a Nevada Test Site worker claimed he saw alien ships there.
Word got around and the stories haven't stopped. Even the state got in on the UFO lore, officially naming a 98-mile stretch of state Route 375, which runs through Rachel, the Extraterrestrial Highway in 1996 and erecting green highway signs with images of spaceships.
Behold! The Bilderberg Club
A Small Group of White Men Run the World?
11-Jun-2003
Versailles Pepe Escobar writes in the Asia Times Online that the annual meeting of the
Bilderberg club was held in May in Versailles, home of the French kings. The Bilderberg
club is an international group of people (mostly men) who are the power elite in Europe
and America. Critics of the organization say members get together once a year to decide
how to run the world. Besides powerful politicians, the Bilderberg club also hosts top
CEOs. Different people are invited every year. An anonymous committee puts together a list
of 100 names and the meetings are shrouded in secrecy. Everyone who attends pledges not to
talk about what was discussed at the meeting.
Some of the past and present attendees are Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, and U.S. Deputy
Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. Money men have been represented by members of the
Rockefeller family. International affairs are represented by Henry Kissinger, Queen
Beatrix of the Netherlands, and Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos of Spain. The Bilderberg
doesn't invite Asians, Middle Easterners, Latin Americans or Africans.
This war doesn't makes sense! The world is
better not better off without Saddam in power. This raises one strong question; are we
really better off in the USA with Bush as president?
Member Peter Sutherland, from Ireland, is chairman of Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum. In 2000, he and Rumsfeld served together on the board of Swiss energy company ABB, which sold two light-water nuclear reactors to North Korea, which they now admit they're using to make bombs. When you wonder how in the world something like this could have happened, it can be explained by the ultimate mutual admiration society the Bilderberg.
Would absolute, and total control over our Independence be so bad? Do we really need to ask such a question? Start asking now before we lose that right!
