Should greens have done anything different to prepare for the Inauguration?

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

Should there have been a big peace protest at this Inauguration? I am someone who went to the first George Bush Inauguration to speak out against the stolen election and stand up for peace and democracy. (I remember our joy as we chanted “Hail to the Thief” all day, and then it hailed!) As a […]

Obama children did not go to church service

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

[This is odds and ends coverage from live blogging about the Inauguration…] The Obama children – Sasha and Malia – did not go to the Inauguration Day Prayer Service/Church Service. I was wondering if they were in a different car or had gone with relatives. At their age, many young people would not go to […]

Important news about Gaza: US makes agreement with Israel

Posted on January 16, 2009 by iwilder

This is an important event and maneuver. A Green Party person suggested it was a way for Bush to tie Obama’s hands on Israel/Palestine policy. (Though, I think Obama and Bush have similar desires in that region.) Here is a quick story. Pulled it from media in India, in hopes it would have less spin. […]

Al-Zaidi: As his wounds fester, my anger grows…

Posted on December 21, 2008 by iwilder

Post with links to petitions for Al-Zaidi are: here. KW: As some of you may have noticed, my activism is motivated largely by anger at injustice.

Electoral College News from Nebraska: And, what next?
