Lets give a furious Minnesota welcome to the master of disaster, the pupeteer plotter, the Halliburton hero, the only man on record saying "go f*ck yourself" to another senator on the senate floor: DICK CHENEY. He just announced yesterday that he is speaking at the convention center in Minneapolis this at 10am Saturday, July 17. There will be massive protests outside the Convention center. Angry citizens are gathering there by 8am because that is when doors open. The conference starts at 9:30am and Cheney speaks at 10. Supporters can actually get tickets if you want to see him speak, they are FREE. Just call 651-645-5614. You can pick up tickets in person 1445 Energy Park Drive, St Paul. In case you forgot: This administration has weakened mercury regulations, decreased already foolishly low automobile efficiency standards, run up the biggest deficit in history and squandered it, sold weapons to rogue nations, harbored and employed known perpetrators of civilian massacres, protected the Enron criminals while illegally holding thousands of innocent civilians in detention, ignored domestic security concerns to focus on an oil cruesade, given governors control over national forests, blatantly violated numerous areas of the US constitution via the Patriot Act, shamelessly orchestrated coups against at least 2 democratically elected presidents, refused to apologize when wrong, given billions of your taxes to domestic and international abstinance based faith groups and calling it "anti-aids relief", given military training known human rights abusers, opened the Tongas national forest to logging, wasted millions researching and building new and illegal nuclear weapons, cut veterans funding, refused to allow theraputic stem cell research yet promoted unsafe genetical engineering of our food supplies, tried to reverse roe-wade, militarized space illegally, abolished the estate tax which only affects those who die with more than $600,000, tortured innocent people, deliberately bombed civilian targets to pacify resistance, lowered capital gains taxes and treated the ultra-rich at our expense, ignored and disrespected the sovreignty of nations, cut federal aid to states resulting in universal budget deficits, tried to privatize social security, illegally withdrew from anti-proliferation treaties, radically privatized the military, frequently violated the Geneva Convention (not unusual), refused to pardon national debts (including Iraq's) that were acquired under dictators, denied the LGBT community their human rights, embarked on a mission of endless war fueled by constant terror... It is not "Patriotic" to let such people enter Minnesota as though they were not criminals. The socio-economic vision that Cheney adheres to is of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. It is destroying Earth far faster and more overtly than any previous administration dared. It is time we stopped ignoring reality and started becoming involved in shaping a viable vision for the human race. The the truth, and the planet cannot survive inaction. --fwd by David Shove Roseville REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
