Egyptian people have the whole world rockin'

"Isn't it interesting that all of te world's dictators, whether US multinational corporations or military commanders, are on edge about what's happening in Egypt right now?"

Dear friends,

Isn't it interesting that all of te world's dictators, whether US multinational corporations or military commanders, are on edge about what's happening in Egypt right now? After all, with the Internet, the world's people have greater access to the truth. We don't have to simply take the lying words of mainstream media journalists.

On the link below is a great discussion about what's going on there right now.

Cheers!

GOP redefines Rape

As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape - a lack of consent does...

From MoveOn.org:
Hi, I just heard about a horrible GOP bill that could redefine rape andset women's rights back by decades.Here's the deal: Right now, federal dollars can't be used for abortionexcept in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger.But the bill, introduced by Republican congressman Chris Smith, wouldnarrow that use to "cases of 'forcible' rape but not statutory or coerced rape."

As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape -a lack of consent does. This bill is scary - so I signed a petitiontelling Congress to stand up and oppose the bill.
