A good part of the reason I started blogging was because I went to a history conference at a UT branch up between Dallas and Fort Worth and found that, contrary to belief, many well known academic historians have found community history projects to be invaluable because of their focus and details. Photos rated high. Photos with details rate high. Interviews with participants in events rated high. Interviews with older people rated high if you cover their experience and perspective.- Prairie Weather
The last place you will hear about the new American labor movement is in big American outlets.
Via lambert, via susie. See them, their blogrolls, Twitter hash tag #1u and just about any other outlet where citizens can get the word out. Such as:
Service Employees International Union and its Fight for a Fair Economy site in Ohio.
Many state and local sites such as the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association and AFSCME Council 8.
The Pragmatic Progressive Forum
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW)
The CIW is a community-based organization of mainly Latino, Mayan Indian and Haitian immigrants working in low-wage jobs throughout the state of Florida. Via.

Memo to AP: Don’t be stupid.
Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 07:36AM The following people solemnly swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yesterday’s vote gutted the Fourth Amendment; can any of them explain how their actions did not actively damage the Constitution?

Yes! And Obama will vote for it to!
Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman.
She is no conservative.
See her unconstitutional votes at my old blog:

I've been doing some reading online, Dan, about this and there is some talk that the telecoms ONLY have immunity from the civil suits but not from criminal law suits. Despite that, Pelosi & Hoyer never should have brought this to the floor to be voted on. What a couple of asinine imbeciles they are! Are they protecting themselves from prosecution too? Oh probably.
I'm not sure Obama will vote for this or not. We'll have to wait and see. I have a feeling it will pass even if he votes against it.
Marsha Blackburn is a liberal? Oh please Mickey! She's a typical jackboot licking neocon. There isn't a Bush policy she doesn't dislike.
And what did Senator Barack Obama say?
Obama Supports FISA Legislation, Angering Left
By Paul Kane
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) today announced his support for a sweeping intelligence surveillance law that has been heavily denounced by the liberal activists who have fueled the financial engines of his presidential campaign.
In his most substantive break with the Democratic Party’s base since becoming the presumptive nominee, Obama declared he will support the bill when it comes to a Senate vote, likely next week, despite misgivings about legal provisions for telecommunications corporations that cooperated with the Bush administration’s warrantless surveillance program of suspected terrorists.
