Getting There "When I said, 'I'm Rob Kall, with OpEdNews.com' the whole room applauded. We're getting there." On a shoestring budget that a snowcone stand would find challenging, Rob has turned his vision of "bottom-up" citizen journalism into a reality. Our voices provide a counterbalance to the voices of those who would dare to label entire nations as "evil."

John Dean: Congress is "a bunch of wusses" On Rob Kall's radio show, Dean gave a refreshingly, honestly coarse take on Congress' FISA capitulation when he bluntly said, "Well, it looks like we have a bunch of wusses up there on Capitol Hill, not much interested in civil liberties and very interested in C.Y.A."

World's Most Efficient Solar Collector A team of MIT students recently tested a prototype of the "most cost-efficient solar-power system in the world." They say it is simple, small, lightweight, made of parts that are cheap and available anywhere, and can melt steel bars. It can be built by nearly anyone.

Republicans are REVOLTING! (and they don't care much for McCain either) A roundup of the news and blogs shows that Republicans are still not very happy with their candidate. Example: "May he be defeated in ALL his political endeavors with an avalanche of shame descending upon him."

The Vital Role of Anonymous Speech In Mr. Ed Tubbs recent article, he attacks anonymous and pseudonymous writers as "summer soldiers" and spineless cowards. I write this in respectful disagreement. Throughout the history of America, such authors have provided invaluable contributions to our political discourse, and played an indispensable part in the founding of the nation. They continue to be an integral part of democracy.

A "Golden Rule" Foreign Policy The Bush administration is trying to cram a "treaty" of permanent occupation down the throats of Americans and the Iraqi people. Our politicians have used wrongs committed by others to justify wrongs of their own. Americans should ask themselves one simple question: Would we accept what we are asking the Iraqi people to accept?

Barack, Don't Ask Me - Show Me As leader of the party, Obama now needs to take control of this matter in the same way he did with the DNC. And he needs to make it known that if Democratic lawmakers think they can step outside the lines of the Constitution, that they aren't worthy to serve the American People. Obama has asked us to believe. I am fed up with being ASKED. This time, you gotta SHOW me, Senator. I'm begging you.

Sneaking FISA Through the Back Door Jefferson never would have believed that future generations of Americans would give up their liberty without at least actually getting some real security in return. But in no way does this bill make Americans more secure. The Hoyer/Bush FISA deal allows mass, untargeted surveillance of Americans' communications, and contains blanket immunity for telecoms. Keith Olberman: "This is not F.I.S.A., this is C.Y.A."

Why Does the South Florida Sun-Sentinel Hate Democracy? "It is a dark day when the Sun-Sentinel has the gall to tell the parents of the soldiers who have died in Iraq that pursuing consequences for those that prosecuted this war of choice based on outright deception is not a "REAL" issue that Congress should address."

"That's Not Too Important" John McCain says it's "not too important" when American troops are allowed to come home from George Bush's war. Not important to whom, I wonder. Is Moqtada al-Sadr a bigger supporter of democracy than George Bush and John McCain?

Transpartisan "Red-Phone" Conference With Iran A group of citizens associated with 35 different organizations came together in a coalition to prove just how easy it would be for President Bush to talk to Iran. It's as simple as picking up the phone.

They can do it to all of us. If those in power can steal one person's freedom, if they can rob even one person of his or her natural rights and strip him of his very humanity in the name of "national security," and then refuse that person access to the courts in the name of "state secrets" - They can do it to all of us.

Wexler's Stand There have been few heroes in the Congress and Senate who have championed the cause of truth like Florida Congressman Robert Wexler. He has led the fight for impeachment hearings, and has never backed down from a fight, no matter the odds against him.

The International Criminal Court's American Exception Long recognized as an ardent defender of human rights, and champion of the Rule of Law, America has been unceremoniously stripped of her glorious garments of Freedom, Truth, and Justice, and clothed in the dirty rags of Oppression, Deception, and Despotism.

Of Kings and Arrogance This new King George has reinstituted many of the practices of the old one, such as the denial of the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus, warrantless search and seizure, the suppression of dissent and free speech, and advancing the notion that the Ruler is above the Law.

If You Knew What We Know... It's a perfect fall-back phrase, used constantly by the President and members of the administration to gain acquiescence and passivity from the public, Congress, and the Courts without providing a substantive reason for any measure they proclaim is "absolutely vital."
