Officer Faces Court-Martial for Refusing to Deploy to Iraq - NY Times

OMG = Well... It's On!
This is getting interesting. An American exercising their (real) rights, no matter what the consequences = Brave and Bravo!

- Let's watch and keep an eye on whether this is a real trend, or if it turns out to be a nod to individualism and personal integrity.

Officer Faces Court-Martial for Refusing to Deploy to Iraq - New York Times

** Let us know how you feel about this issue: Would you refuse to go to war at this point? Do you think they could continue to court-martial if troops and potentials, and the public DEMONSTRATED with ACTS such as this, that we are not all for this war and will not engage in it? We already let the government know, and also there are the polls - but polls seem to be largely ignored by government. Geez...

Katrina audit shows fraud, abuse - Yahoo! News

By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer
Snippet:
"WASHINGTON - The Homeland Security Department wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars last year on iPods, dog booties, beer-making equipment and designer jackets, congressional investigators have concluded.
More than 100 laptop computers and a dozen boats also bought by Homeland Security employees are missing, the investigators found."

- COMMENT: We shudder to think! First we know about the rampant fraud = so very predictable... so when do we get our tax refund for that??!! BUT, scarier still is the missing gov't equipment - like the laptops which usually contain sensitive info/records. That should have already been a crucial concern for Homeland Security etc. See my other post about the gov't and its missing laptops and the thousands who are poss. still at risk after that. Can anyone remember 911? And, that America has worked very hard, and pays enormous amounts of money to be at war and to create new wars each day.
I know it’s so sad... read more here:

... Also please see and take the Time Quick Vote poll that asks:
"Are you willing to make a change in your lifestyle to lessen the effects of Global Warming?”
We don't think you will be surprised at the answers but it’s good to know how most feel about this urgent issue.

Global warming should definitely be an urgent action-item for all Americans whether the White House wants to face it or not. REMINDER: It is our constitutional right and within our power to make them address American voter issues.
