Check out Truthtelling Forum's article on 2008 Republican presidential
candidate Rep. Ron Paul's position on Iraq. Here's a sneak peak:

Rep. Ron Paul (TX) voted against the use of military force against Iraq in
October 2002. One of only six House Republican who voted against the October
2002 resolution, he continues to be opposed to the war in Iraq. Paul voted for
a bill in April which contained a time line for withdrawal. His website
contains the statement:  The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information.
The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it.  Click here to continue

Corruption Gone Wild
By Gina-Marie Cheeseman

Private contracts are handed out by the federal government in droves these
days. The industrial company Northrop Grumman, which manufactures the stealth
bomber, has been granted a number of lucrative contracts despite past lawsuits
filed against the company.

Named the company of the year by Forbes in 2002, and ranked number 67 on Forbes
2006 Fortune 500 list, the Los Angeles based Northrop is the third largest
defense contractor in the U.S.

Congress and the Federal Communications Commission face a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to bring universal, affordable Internet connections to all
Americans.

The issue before them is who should control access to the radio spectrum. As
part of the digital television (DTV) transition, a prized portion of the public
airwaves is being returned to the government. Implementing the right policies
could mean more competition, faster service and lower price for consumers.

An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire

If a list is compiled of important books to read for people interested in
knowing the truth about modern democracies, An Ordinary Person's Guide to
Empire by Indian writer Arundhati Roy would be in the top tier. All essays,
save one, were first speeches. The fact that the essays first came to life as
spoken words makes them read easy despite the heavy subject she boldly tackles.

The Religious Right Re-Crucify Jesus

The Religious Right stole Jesus; the Jesus of the Gospels who fed the five
thousand, treated women with respect, and subverted the religious and political
structures of his day. They have taken the Jesus who was a political radical
and executed for his radical politics, replacing him with a smiling, weak, and
money-loving Jesus.

They stripped Jesus of his politics. They have made the politics of Jesus all
about taking away the rights of women. They have made Jesus into something he
was not, someone he would despise.

Mother's Day was first called by 19th century suffragist, Julia Ward Howe. Read
her Mother's Day Manifesto:

Arise, then, women of this day!
Arise, all women who have breasts,
Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!

Say firmly:
"We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and
applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

Somalia: Al Qaeda s New Base   America s Next War?
By Stephen Morgan

Somalia has long been the world s centre of anarchy and Mogadishu the capital
of mayhem. Awash with weapons, for 16 years it has existed without a central
government and has been plagued by civil war between competing clan and
sub-clans, warlords and jihadists. In the medium to long-term the invasion by
Ethiopian forces looks set not to quell this phenomenon, but to eventually
exacerbate it. There is a real danger that it will provide the incubus for the
flourishing of al-Qaeda s first solid base in Africa. Continue reading (http://
