On Tuesday evening when President Obama was announcing to the world that he would be sending more troops into Afghanistan, 300 protesters marched to the gates at West Point.  During his speech, we chanted and protested, we sat at the front gates.  At 8:30 pm, we took over the street entrance and blocked traffic demanding an end to all wars.  Six were arrested.  For more photos see:

From my friend Cheryl:

This is a list I’ve been keeping – but I’m getting tired of adding to it -except when I hear of a new book then I’ll put it in – there’s no rhyme or reason to this list other than they’re all available on Amazon.com. I thought of alphabetizing it, but fuck that. It is definitely not a complete list of all the books out there speaking out against the Bush regime, but it is really amazing – this virtual library of of information all leading to the same conclusion that this regime needs to be driven out and that our republic is broken and tattered. Add this list to Kucinich’s 35 articles of impeachment and it boggles the mind how the majority of Americans keep sleeping and the media keeps reporting on drunken actresses and dead reporters.
