What bothered me most was when she said this:
"We're tired here, I don't even care if a bullet comes to take my life. This isn't life here, and it hasn't been. As a matter-of-fact, I think I would welcome it."
I told her I loved her..........and then the phone went dead.
I just got a telephone call from my Iraqi friend. She is 22 years old and lives in Baghdad.
"All the stores are closed and we don't have much food left. We can't go to get food because the Al-Mahdi Army is killing everyone!
They are even killing innocent people in their homes.......familys with children!
We have no power for 4 days, and we can't use our generators because there isn't enough gas, so in this heat.....we have no cooling. Soon we will have no water at all. The only water we have is in the bottles. All the Oil in Iraq is in my hair because I can't wash it!
Mahdi Army is shouting in the streets. 'You haven't seen anything yet. This is just the beginning. We will take the government of Iraq.'
Our street is a war zone. Our houses have bullets coming in the windows and sometimes even penetrating the walls . We can't go into our gardens within our walls because the rockets, mortars...and road bombs that the Mahdi Army is filling the streets with are coming into our gardens too.
I asked her............."Why doesn't the American Army fight them?" She told me that the Americans ARE fighting them, but it's just confusion there now. Nobody knows who is the enemy. I told her that all the innocent people should go into houses and the Americans should just shoot the rest. She said we ARE all in our houses, and the Americans are flying overhead, they are shooting rockets at them. (I could hear the rockets hitting nearby from her mobile phone.)
Sometimes the mobile phone signal would get weak when the planes and helicopters flew overhead because of their electronics and radar whatever.
What bothered me most was when she said this:
"We're tired here, I don't even care if a bullet comes to take my life. This isn't life here, and it hasn't been. As a matter-of-fact, I think I would welcome it."
I told her I loved her..........and then the phone went dead.

on (March 19, 2008) the 5 year anniversary of the Iraq war/illegal occupation, we spent the day (and part of the night) in front of the office of John "100 years of WAR" McCain, to let him know how we feel about him (and warn passers by what would happen with him as president)
we had some laughs, and some somber moments... and got creative with our signs for a serious cause.
here are some pictures from that and a bunch more from all over the world (some NAKED) and a few other thoughts as well (some NAKED)

...I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery
...If we wish to be free--we must fight!
...They tell us...that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?
Will it be the next week, or the next year?
Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a...guard shall be stationed in every house?
...Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs...until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
...millions of people, armed in the...cause of liberty... are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.
...Besides...we have no election
...There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!
...The war is inevitable--and let it come!
...Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
...I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
LIVE FREE OR DIE!

mourning the temporary loss of our grassroots headquarters, i just looked around my house
mourning the temporary loss of our grassroots headquarters, i just looked around my house to see what we had available at the moment...
not much, just a handful of sticker label sheets and a printer...
and my imagination ^_^
i'll bet you've got at least two of those already!
so i just went pedestrianing around my neighborhood as i am prone to do...
and slapped a sticker every convenient place my eyes met.
if i saw it chances are, other pedestrians will too.
you can't save yourself, if you can't save your neighbors!
and if you can't save your neighbors, who can you save?
think about it!
and while you're at it, consider the many variations of definition for proliferate,
and see if you agree that it describes exactly what we have to pull off in order to save, not only ourselves and our neighbors, but our whole country!
pro•lif•er•ate (pr -l f -r t ) (prō-lif′ər-ā′shən)
pro•lif•er•at•ed, pro•lif•er•at•ing, pro•lif•er•ates
* The process by which an organism produces others of its kind.
* to grow or multiply by rapidly producing new tissue, parts, cells, buds, or offspring.
* a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important.
* The result or product of building up.
* To cause to grow or increase rapidly.
* The act of increasing or rising.
* To increase or spread at a rapid rate; a rapid increase in number.
* The continuous development of cells in tissue formation.
* Growth by rapid reproduction or multiplication of similar forms or parts, especially cells.
you know there is something you can do!
what are you waiting for?
it's freedom, or slavery -- easy choice, right?
it is for me!
LIVE FREE OR DIE!

and even if you are at least as American as this French man ...
the lack of paper ballots in our voting process (and everything else we have allowed to take place while we were "sleeping") has made a travesty of our inaliniable rights of freedom ...
so shame on all of us!!!

at least I was pleasantly surprised ^_^
in case you didn't get the point...
if you want to end the drug war then vote for Ron Paul because he wants to end the drug war too!
and a whole bunch of other things too, like put and end to the IRS and income tax, the patriot act, and the federal reserve.
just to name a few ^_^
and if you don't want to end the drug war (and all that other stuff) then you had better do some research because YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!
OUR COUNTRY is in TROUBLE and it's time for ACTION!
so DO something - ANYTHING!
NOW!!!
Ron Paul on Drugs
Republican Representative (TX-14)
The War on Drugs has abused Bill of Rights!
Paul adopted the Republican Liberty Caucus Position Statement:
As adopted by the General Membership of the Republican Liberty Caucus at its Biannual Meeting held December 8, 2000.
• WHEREAS libertarian Republicans believe in limited government, individual freedom and personal responsibility;
• WHEREAS we believe that government has no money nor power not derived from the consent of the people;
• WHEREAS we believe that people have the right to keep the fruits of their labor; and
• WHEREAS we believe in upholding the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land;
BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Liberty Caucus endorses the following [among its] principles:
1. While recognizing the harm that drug abuse causes society, we also recognize that government drug policy has been ineffective and has led to frightening abuses of the Bill of Rights which could affect the personal freedom of any American. We, therefore, support alternatives to the War on Drugs.
2. Per the tenth amendment to the US Constitution, matters such as drugs should be handled at the state or personal level.
3. All laws which give license to violate the Bill of Rights should be repealed.

Reference: Amendment by Taylor, D-MS; bill by Portman, R-OH.; Bill HR 4550 ; vote number 1998-443 on Sep 16, 1998
Legalize medical marijuana.
Paul sponsored the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act:
Title: To provide for the medical use of marijuana in accordance with the laws of the various States. Summary: Transfers marijuana from schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to schedule II of such Act. Declares that, in a State in which marijuana may be prescribed or recommended by a physician for medical use under applicable State law, no provision of the Controlled Substances Act shall prohibit or otherwise restrict:
• the prescription or recommendation of marijuana by a physician for medical use;
• an individual from obtaining and using marijuana from a physician's prescription or recommendation of marijuana for medical use; or
• a pharmacy from obtaining and holding marijuana for the prescription or recommendation of marijuana by a physician for medical use under applicable State law.
• Prohibits any provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act from prohibiting or restricting a State entity from producing or distributing marijuana for the purpose of its distribution for prescription or recommendation by a physician in a State in which marijuana may be prescribed by a physician for medical use.

Ron Paul Rated "A" by VOTE-HEMP, indicating a pro-hemp voting record.
VOTE HEMP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for Industrial Hemp. Industrial Hemp is non-psychoactive low THC varieties of the cannabis sativa plant. Currently, it is illegal for U.S. farmers to grow Industrial Hemp because it is improperly classified as a "drug" under the Controlled Substances Act. Since changes in law require shifts in thinking and this requires education in the facts, our primary goal is the education of legislators and regulators, farmers and businesses, students and other concerned citizens.
