Test Tube Baby

We figured out the next steps for PV- and it’s going to be a blast!

Where Do I Begin?

Since Bush took office in 2000, American women have begun to experience a perpetual decline in rights and it’s only getting worse.

Why it was important for Midtown to Rock Against Bush

I got involved with Rock Against Bush, because I always felt like music should foster new ideas and be an impetus for change. If there was only the music side, I would have never become as passionate about it as I did. Since the beginning, we've used music to promote issues such as animal rights, but despite having strong political beliefs ourselves, we stayed away from governmental politics. However, this year is so important, that when Anti-Flag asked us to do the tour, we were there.

Big Talking Cowards Need Your Vote

"None of these people have served in the military, let alone in combat. They’d shit their pants if they saw what war is really like. Rush Limbaugh couldn’t do three sit-ups, let alone heft a rucksack through the desert and aim a rifle at people."

“BRING THE WAR HOME!” Hi-tech, human Lie Detectors!

People are asking themselves… “Who is telling the truth? Where is a place I can trust to get facts and formulate my opinions?”

Empires

We may take comfort in the notion that the Bush dynasty will be justly sorted for its thuggish brand of god/police/puritanism in some golden tomorrow, but the reduction of life, rights and radical imagination is happening right now—on the street, in the home, and across the globe.

My Body My Choice

The party in office now is a right wing party that hates people like us. They hate individuality. They hate our right to choose because they say they respect ALL LIFE. Is killing thousands of innocent people in Iraq respect for ALL LIFE? No.

Mistakes of this magnitude should not be tolerated by the American people.

The events of the last few years have formed divisions that never before existed. Attitudes that used to be moderate and accepting of other cultures have been swayed to the far right, showing little tolerance for anything foreign.

Money And Power Are Good Things In The Right Hands

"The amount of power in the hands of the wrong people is alarming. I want to state an opinion that may be counter-intuitive to most progressives but I think
there is some truth in it. Before I get to it, let me introduce a very simple premise: Power is money and money is power."

Dubya - We Know The Truth From Bullshit

"our band has been touring for the last two years, we have been forced to watch and listen to countless forms of right wing propaganda spewing forth for the consumption of the general public. While Authority Zero and I have never claimed to be political experts, there is an ability that we as free thinking human beings possess, the ability to distinguish truth from bullshit."

Advanced Democracy is Punk

"Advanced Democracy is punk: writing articles, painting murals, making music, passing out flyers, hounding public officials, shutting down roads in protest, and running for office yourself."

WHAT IS THE RAVE ACT?

"Rather than going after drug users or drug dealers, the Rave Act targets music promoters, venue managers and landowners. In practice, it gives the government the authority to exact strict criminal penalties..."

Personal Encounter With Ashcroft's FBI

The Patriot Act was signed by congress to help search out and destroy terrorism in the United States. John Asscroft is using it to stop all dissent in this country. Illegal search and seizures, and intimidation are now a reality to all of us. It's real and it's happening now

Voting Matters

I'm all for insurrection in the street. But it doesn't accomplish much without insurrection at the ballot box. So why not use it?

Mid-Term Election Hangover

Bullied by the constant media scare tactics, the average American may soon come to believe that their only chance to live safely is to give even more power with an even broader interpretation to the present administration.

George W. is a Gangsta

We MUST make our voices heard! We MUST organize! We MUST demonstrate! We MUST support one another!

It is a Dismal Time to be a Liberal American

When our people realize the power they have to really effect change in this country, and therefore, the rest of the world, and exercise their American right to vote and dissent, the warmongers will be out of office sooner rather than later.

Look Forward to 2004

It's quite possible that voting for Nader, the Green Party candidate whose policies were the exact opposite of George W. Bush, was directly responsible for the Republican victory.

Kangaroo Jack

Let's go vote for someone smart, and get to work on rebuilding our strained relationship with the entire rest of the world.

Who cares what you think?

What's worse than George Bush being an idiot? Allowing to be ruled by him. Vote.
