McCain Is Still Anti-Reproductive Rights

John McCain may be a reformer and maverick on some issues like campaign reform and torture (and is being anti-torture too much to ask of a candidate?!), but on other issues he is a plain ol’ Reagan/Bush Republican. For instance, McCain still believes the women should not have final say over there reproductive choices and has voted consistently to restrict them. Planned Parenthood has a great site detailing this and you can see it here .

Punkvoter bands on “Body Of War” soundtrack

No Use For A Name, Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls and Against Me are just a few of the great bands on the “Body Of War” soundtrack.

Songs on the double-disk "Body of War: Songs that Inspired an Iraq War Veteran" were handpicked by Iraq War veteran Tomas Young and include picks from the likes of Bright Eyes, Against Me!, Bruce Sprigsteen, and Neil Young in addition to a previously unreleased, live version of "No More" by Eddie Vedder which was written specifically for the documentary and performed with Ben Harper at last year's Lollapalooza. All proceeds on the disk go to the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW.org).

This music, Young says, serves as his personal ‘soundtrack for Iraq.’ “The compilation record was an idea that grew out of my love of music and my reliance on it before, during, and after the war,” he says. “The songs I selected for the record were tracks that inspired, motivated, and at times, literally saved me over the past few years.”

“Tomas has taught me a great deal, and our friendship has become one of depth and sincerity,” Vedder adds. “It has been a mind-expanding experience. I see how he relies on the strength of the songs to help him through each day. It is a true living example of the power of music.”

All proceeds from Body of War: Songs That Inspired an Iraq War Veteran, which features original cover art designed and donated by acclaimed political artist Shepard Fairey, go to benefit the non-profit organization Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), as chosen by Young. Founded in 2004 by Iraq war veterans, IVAW’s goal is to give voice to the large number of active-duty service people and veterans who are against the war, but are under various pressures to remain silent. In September, Sire Records donated $100,000 to IVAW in the name of Young, who is a spokesperson for the organization.

A strategy built upon lies!

While certain parties want to press on with the fact that we need to keep up our present strategy in Iraq and on the war on terror, it is time to remember the numerous lies that it is based on. Read the new report from the Center For Public Integrity just for starters, which you can find here .

Don't Let Them Steal Your Vote!

Almost eight years ago the present Presidential regime was able to sneak its way into the office by discounting votes in Florida. If we are gonna change anything we first have to make sure that they and their supporters can't do it again. The New York Times Magazine ran an interesting piece here on just how that may happen again, and you can read it here . If you are as alarmed as us after reading this, please sign this petition. Once again, thanks and keep up the fight!
