TIME TO PASS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE INSURANCE

2007-06-17T23:20:00.001-07:00

The Pen

to me

show details

1:00 am (15 minutes ago)

TELL CONGRESS IT'S TIME TO PASS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE INSURANCE

Every other major industrialized nation in the world has systematic
national health care insurance. It is only the United States that
operates on a gouge the poor to the max plan. This issue is going to
have much increased visibility this summer as a result of the latest
Michael Moore documentary expose, Sicko, which opens June 29th
everywhere.

Now is the time for us to all come together and call for passage of
H.R. 676, the National Health Care Insurance Act.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/hr676.php

Unless you are independently wealthy every day is a nightmare in our
current health care system. Most of the time those nightmares don't
make the evening news, but some are just too depraved not to become
notorious. You may have heard, last month a woman literally bled to
death on the floor of an emergency room waiting area, while the
security camera tape showed the staff ignoring her because she did
not have the correct insurance, while other people desperately called
911 to try to get someone to do something to help her.

Under H.R. 676, Medicare would be extended and improved so that all
individuals residing in the United States would receive high quality
and affordable health care services. They would receive all medically
necessary services by the physicians of their choice, with no
restrictions on what providers they could visit. If implemented, the
United States National Health Insurance Act would cover primary care,
dental, mental health, prescription drugs, and long term care.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/hr676.php

Isn't it time to end the national disgrace of a health care system
DESIGNED to bankrupt all who are unfortunate enough to need it, as we
all will eventually? Isn't it time to regulate health care providers
to provide for the benefit of the national common good, as opposed to
the maximum exploitation of the sick? Please join Michael Moore in
submitting the action page above to put some real pressure on
Congress now.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do so at
http://www.usalone.com/in.htm

Or if you want to cease receiving our messages, just use the function

DON'T SURRENDER TO BUSH ON IRAQ

2007-05-22T05:19:00.000-07:00

WE'RE ASKING ALL OUR PARTICIPANTS TO TELL CONGRESS: DON'T SURRENDER TO BUSH ON IRAQ

Please call NOW toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask for your own House member and Senators. And ALSO leave separate messages for both Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi at their leadership offices. They represent you too!

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_bush_surrender.php

Drafting this alert has been an enormous challenge . . . to find a way to express our anger in a way that is still civil. Please, Lord, help us to express this in a way that will have a positive result.

We are hearing reports that the Democrats are preparing to unilaterally surrender to Bush on the Iraq supplemental, despite a solid majority of the American people in favor of at least some kind of restraints on a war president run amok. If this is a trial balloon, or in part even a Republican trick to try to demoralize us, it didn't work. We're not demoralized, we're just angry.

The inside the beltway genius pundits, the ones who thought the Iraq invasion and occupation was such a bully-bully party for the first couple disastrous years, pontificate that if the Democrats don't completely cave in on yet another mammoth emergency funding demand it would be political "suicide". Like we really need them to self-appoint themselves as our campaign managers. Meanwhile, the death and destruction in Iraq continues unabated.

And for what? The latest rumblings in Iraq are that the stinky, smelly oil production sharing agreement that was the end game of this entire monstrosity is generating increasing resistance in even the puppet Iraq government, the harder we try to force it down their throats. This is the only benchmark Bush has ever been interested in. And is there any doubt that even if they are able to force it through by our military presence, that it be nothing but a casus belli for all eternity?

Is there any doubt that the Iraqi people, if not the entire Muslim world, will resent for generations, with the most blind and unanimous hatred, the way their natural resources were looted from them by an invading imperial army? Is there any doubt that insurgent attacks will continue to increase exponentially, the Al Qaeda dream come true? Is there any doubt that any member of the Iraqi parliament who signs on to this does so at peril to his own life from his own people?

Is there any doubt that our only net spoils from this war will be magnified threats of terrorist attacks against our own homeland in revenge?

In 1919, the Chicago White Sox UNEXPECTEDLY lost the World Series. Their biggest star, Shoeless Joe Jackson, the number three lifetime batting average champion of all time, had admitted under oath to being part of a conspiracy to throw the series, but he was only convicted of not reporting the scandal. On leaving the courtroom, it is reported that a young fan plaintively begged him, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" Joe Jackson was banned from major league baseball and never played there again.

Democrats have majorities in both houses of Congress. They have done little but surrender, capitulate, and surrender some more since the day we gave them those majorities. One of the things we have heard is that they will attach the forgotten minimum wage increase now to a new total surrender version of the Iraq Supplemental. Somebody please explain to us why with a majority in both houses of Congress they could not have put the minimum wage provision on the president's desk months ago.

Some say they will "seek other opportunities later this year to challenge Bush's handling of the unpopular conflict." There will be other opportunities for gratuitous grandstanding. But there will be few other opportunities for ending this insane occupation, short of impeachment (itself a necessity), UNLESS the Democrats stick to their guns just one time.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_bush_surrender.php

Wake up, America. We respectfully submit that if you are not angry by now, you are not paying attention. And we pray for you, that if you are motivated to express that anger to Congress, please do it in a way that cannot be construed as anything but a verbal expression of your policy position.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

REMOVE GONZALES BY CONSTITUTIONAL FORCE

2007-05-17T23:15:00.001-07:00

TELL CONGRESS TO REMOVE GONZALES BY CONSTITUTIONAL FORCE IF NECESSARY

You can call toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask for your own House member and Senators.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/impeach_gonzales.php

For an administration in which utter smirking defiance of law and the will of the American people is the only operational mode, IMPEACHMENT is the only remedy.

How bad can it possibly get before Congress will act? In explosive testimony this week before the Senate, the former number two official in the Justice apartment, James B. Comey, testified that Alberto Gonzales tried to bully a deathly sick John D. Ashcroft into signing off on a secret and massive domestic wiretap scheme which had already been determined to be profoundly illegal. Even the Washington Post was compelled to editorialize on Wednesday as follows:

"the straight-as-an-arrow former No. 2 official at the Justice Department, yesterday offered the Senate Judiciary Committee an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source."

And if that were not bad enough, Gonzales had previously testified UNDER OATH, that there had been no disagreements in the department about implementation of the program. So he just bald-faced lied and perjured himself again, and again, and again. And he's still doing it.

The situation is so bad that 56 members of Alberto's Harvard Law school graduating class took out an ad also in the Post excoriating him for his outlaw abuse of power. The Harvard Crimson further reports that there was NO dissent whatsoever in this from members of that class, even among those who for professional reasons could not sign on publicly.

So what is the response of Congress? Some Democrats today proposed a no confidence vote. What exactly is that supposed to accomplish? How many times have you heard Bush say, "Well, he has my confidence", in the face of dramatically manifest incompetence and malfeasance by his appointed cronies? When is Congress going to confront the fact that we are dealing with a Constitutionally criminal organization in the White House from top to bottom?

When will Congress stop being a damn debating society and exercise the POWER we gave them in November.? What part of exercising power don't they get?

Look at the side show going on right now about another Bush gang member, Wolfowitz, who has long outstayed his welcome the World Bank, and still will not give up power until they pry it out of his fingers. It was actually reported yesterday that Wolfowitz was demanding that the bank accept culpability for some part of his wrongdoing as a condition of stepping down. Isn't that just a little like a bank robber demanding that a bank share guilt for making itself too easy to rob?

We'll frankly be surprised if Bush doesn't demand for Gonzales a seat on the Supreme Court as part of his severance package.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/impeach_gonzales.php

What'cha gonna do, Congress? You better start dusting of that impeachment clause in the Constitution quick, fast and in a hurry. We're really gonna need it.

If the millstone were around the other neck, every right wing cable news pod person would be screaming for impeachment, not only for Gonzales, but for the whole lying, stealing, preemptive war murdering lot of them. Falwell would be howling from his casket right now. Maybe it's time for us do a lot more howling of our own.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

New AACS Crack.....

2007-05-07T16:01:00.000-07:00

New AACS crack. This one is undefeatable.

Remember the HD-DVD processing key that could be revoked? Well, now we can also get volume keys, for free!

Ars Technica has the scoop:

The latest attack vector bypasses the encryption performed by the Device Keys—the same keys that were revoked by the WinDVD update—and the so-called “Host Private Key,” which as yet has not been found. This was accomplished by de-soldering the HD DVD drive’s firmware chip, reading its contents, and then patching it. Once that was done, the firmware was soldered back onto the drive.
Despite the technical difficulty of performing this hack, it does offer some advantages in the race to beat AACS copy protection. “They cannot revoke this hack,” said forum member arnezami, who has been at the center of much of the AACS cracking recently. “No matter how many Private Host Keys they revoke we will still be able to get Volume IDs using patched xbox 360 HD DVD drives.”

This was only to be expected. A hardware-based attack, just like the ones we’ve seen for modchipping consoles. With such a wide network of stakeholders (media conglomerates, consumer electronics companies, sotware developers), the attack surface was just too wide to expect any kind of security not to be broken — especially when you’re “distributing the baby with the bathwater”… er, wrong analogy, I meant “they keys with the media”.

I think the implications of the new crack are fairly clear. We’re witnessing DeCSS 2.0: louder, bigger, faster, powered by social media. The simple fact that someone is distributing information on how to crack AACS, out in the open, is enough to convince anyone that the DMCA has outlived its usefulness and no longer scares anyone into submission. This time people aren’t shutting up.

It bears repeating that this crack and other HD-DVD hacks are of no consequence for professional pirates — they do not need to decrypt discs in order to copy them. I hope this time the security community gets this message out loud and clear, instead of shelling up and letting the outrageously absurd mainstream message of “home taping is killing music” run free.

And we’ll get to watch HD-DVDs in Linux soon enough. Yeah! I can’t wait! But, well, first I should get myself an actual HD-DVD player. Or perhaps torrent a few HD movies ;-).

Want to see this story reach Slashdot? Vote for it in the Firehose!

2007-05-02T12:20:00.000-07:00

Here is the post that started it all on digg.15,000 diggs! What a wild ride that was. I am unable to submit the article because the link is banned from digg yet.Though it would be nice to be able to revisit it and read the remarks seeing as how it is not on the digg site anymore.
One thing I have to know is this,why was it allowed to reach over 15,000 diggs then removed? I am positive that there was someone who was able to remove the article on digg at that time.Why wait so long? Were they generating massive money from the adds on there? Is that the reason it took so long,did they see the money pouring in off that one so they decided to leave it as long as they could?Then remove it? The world will never know.

I calculated the overall number of diggs (and counting), of stories one way or the other related to the HD-DVD story, that made it to the front page and were submitted just after Digg’s own “DIGG: What's Happening with HD-DVD Stories?” post submission and here are the stats: More than 50K+ diggs overall and more than 45K+ diggs on the front page.

OK Kevin gave in and said he will not be removing posts dealing with the number.How ever there is one more issue to resolve..that would be reinstating all the people who's accounts were "banned".
How about it Kevin,wanna step up to this one and reinstate everyone that had their user accounts removed? This is what the whole damn thing was about pretty much.
I myself had my account removed but after some brown nosing I had it reinstated,didnt make much of a difference to me,I just created a new one.
Any way I'm glad this is over with for the most part,just finish it and reinstate everyone!

We won!!

Today was an insane day. And as the founder of Digg, I just wanted to post my thoughts…

In building and shaping the site I’ve always tried to stay as hands on as possible. We’ve always given site moderation (digging/burying) power to the community. Occasionally we step in to remove stories that violate our terms of use (eg. linking to pornography, illegal downloads, racial hate sites, etc.). So today was a difficult day for us. We had to decide whether to remove stories containing a single code based on a cease and desist declaration. We had to make a call, and in our desire to avoid a scenario where Digg would be interrupted or shut down, we decided to comply and remove the stories with the code.

But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.

If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.

Digg on,

Kevin

Ok so I go to try and post a reply in a few topics,come to find out I cant and it also looks like someone is messing with the number of diggs.AT one time I watched a topic with 60 diggs go down to 30 diggs,then it went down to 6 then back to 45 the whole time I was watching these numbers jump around I also noticed that peoples replies were dissapearing.
Now this is just my vent page,I have nothing wrong on this topic,no number or anything.I have already created my reddit account.BTW I also use The Pirate Bay for my torrents.

I frequent digg.com and last nite we had a story that received at last count over 15,000 diggs.This morning I saw that it had been removed.Every story that even relates to this topic has also been removed.
Some people have been suggesting that we the digg community bury EVERY story so nothing makes it to the front page in a form of protest.I suggested in a topic that someone create a blog stating that all stories are buried,10 seconds later that story I posted in(one I had submitted)was removed.
This is my stump,if you agree that every story should be buried digg this submission up so it gets to the front page,then start burying stories.
Look for this submission to get removed.
Do not post the number,if you have to post the number,post only parts of it,not the whole thing.
