This is wonderful news. Now let's hope it makes the news, unlike all the marches before Bush's wars where they ignored millions of marchers.

Truly, once they said if you take over their communications systems you can win the war they were right on. Our communications systems have definitely been taken over.

It's hard to believe that despite the evidence of how damaging this will be to the environment, that any Democrat worth the title would even consider supporting it. I hope they listen for the sake of all of us.
