Liberal: “A Badge of Honor”
hugesforamerica blog
Why can’t we hear more of this from actual Democratic candidates, not just fictional ones. But this exchange between Matthew Santos, a Democrat, and Arnold Vinnick, a Republican, stood out on live debate from “The West Wing”:
Santos: I know you like to use that word “liberal” as if it were a crime.
Vinnick: No, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have used that word. I know Democrats think “liberal” is a bad word. So bad you had to change it, didn’t you? What do you call yourselves now? Progressives? Is that it?
Santos: It’s true. Republicans have tried to turn “liberal” into a bad word. Well, liberals ended slavery in this country.
Vinnick: A Republican president ended slavery.
Santos: Yes, a liberal Republican, Senator. What happened to them? They got run out of your party. What did liberals do that was so offensive to the liberal party?
I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did conservatives do? They opposed every single one of those things. Every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet – “liberal” – as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work Senator. Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

[Video]: Money as Debt
Paul Grignon’s 47-minute animated presentation of “Money as Debt” tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its “Duncan Initiative” received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

President Barack Hussein Obama
ImpeachforPeace.org does not endorse nor support political candidates, but on this blog I have the freedom to express my personal belief that of the candidates remaining, there is only one I would like to be my president: Barack Hussein Obama. I include his middle name to negate the venom the xenophobic naysayers have attempted to attach to it. I just hope he comes around to support full accountability for the crimes of all members of the Bush Administration.

Cheney to be Impeached?
If you believe impeachment hearings to investigate Vice President Richard B. Cheney are warranted there has never been a better time to say so. Sign the impeachment petition at: www.WexlerWantsHearings.com initiated by House Judiciary Committee members Robert Wexler (D-FL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) TODAY!
Over a hundred and ten thousand online signatures have been gathered in less than a week since Rep. Wexler posted the petition on his campaign website. This despite the original OpEd article: “A Case for Hearings†by the three members of Congress being refused by all major newspapers it was submitted to, including the New York Times and Washington Post, as well as multiple television networks.
This blackout by the Corporate Media led Congressman Wexler to reach out directly to the American people by posting an appeal on YouTube, entitled: “Rep. Wexler Wants Cheney Impeachment Hearingsâ€.
Eight total members of the House Judiciary Committee have either co-signed House Resolution 333 (now H. Res. 799) to impeach Vice President Cheney and/or co-authored this current appeal for impeachment. Co-signers of H. Res. 333 on the HJC include Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).
Clearly the House Judiciary is on the brink of possibly initiating impeachment hearings with more than one third of its Democratic members publicly committed to supporting impeachment of the Vice President.
A caller to the office of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) was told that the current impeachment bill H.R. 799 “is in special discussion”, and that now is the time that we should be calling our Representatives”.
Representative and Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) first introduced H. Res. 333 last April and Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) just became the 24th co-signer on December 19th.
House Resolution 333 is comprised of three articles, charging that the Vice President “purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraq weapons of mass destruction†as well as lying “about an alleged relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda†among other claims.
