We must Take to the streets. We can not let the event that happened at R.N.C Continue. We can not let the GOV. Get away with this, I wish for all of us Freedom, Constitution minded citizens to ban together this Sept. 11th to Protest the Way our country is going.

March, 2008 ushered in the sixth year of war and occupation “without end” on Iraq. In an act of arrogance and impunity, Congress in a bipartisan vote approved another $162 billion in funding for the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Stepped up threats against Iran and the increased likelihood of a U.S. troop “surge” into Afghanistan point to an imperative for action and an independent voice.

On July 20, 2008, around 15-20 armed men shot and killed Alberto “Bito” Yusi, president of Samahan ng mga Anak ng Magsasaka ng Famosa, Incorporated (SAMFAI), an organization of landless peasants that petitioned for the distribution of the 490-hectare Ticao Agro-Industrial Development Incorporated (TAIDI) landholding situated at Barangay Famosa, Monreal, Masbate.
