About 30 Baltimoreans including students, activists, steelworkers and regular locals gathered at Broadway and Fayette Streets to March in solidarity with those demonstrating in Miami against the FTAA meetings on Thursday.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Bush were not in the pocket of the fossil fuel barons, America would achieve its energy goals within a few years through just a few simple conservation efforts and sufficient investment in alternative energy development. Instead, the nation is doomed to remain the global glutton, a locust swarm unleashed on Earth's dwindling resources.

Dateline November 21, 2003, the morning after the Miami, FL demonstrations in opposition to the Free Trade Areas of the Americas (FTAA). The words "Bitter Sweet" come to mind in reviwing the recent events.

Never has there been a more critical vote in US history than the Bush-Cheney energy plan. While the Iraq war has been devastating, the worst effects may subside within a decade. If Bush gets his way and the nation accelerates its nuclear energy program, the potential disastrous effects even one "moderate" "mishap" could inflict could be with up - and our great-great grandchildren -- for centuries to come.

A summary of the No FTAA solidarity march in Baltimore (11/20/03).

Despite not being afforded the benefit of a public hearing, the massive $31.1 billion energy bill being debated in the U.S. Senate today has garnered massive public opposition, and with good reason. Call your senators today. Tell them which way you recommend they vote.

No wonder the Democrats keep drawing the disgust and outrage of the American people. Every time the people really need leadership in the party, the leaders betray them...like voting for the war in Iraq. Now "leader" Tom Daschle has gone to the dark side, big time!
