Appearing at a town hall meeting in Detroit, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) called for a "new American agenda" for the next session Congress.

The perpetrator of the 2001 anthrax attack on Congress likely was a government scientist employed at the Army’s Ft. Detrick, Md., bioterrorism lab having access to a “moonsuit” that made it possible to safely process and manufacture super-weapons-grade anthrax, a bioterrorism authority says.

“Nothing is off the table unless the American people allow it to be so,” US Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) said in an exclusive interview with Atlanta Progressive News (APN) about her Articles of Impeachment against President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

US Rep. Cynthia McKinney today became the first US Congresswoman to introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Bush, as well as Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. The remarks are expected to become part of the Congressional Record but will not be available on thomas.loc.gov until next week.

Do you think President Bush has committed one or more impeachable offenses? If you said no, I want to talk to you for a second. If you said yes, let's talk in just a minute – but stick around for this first, you'll enjoy it.

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has introduced articles of impeachment against George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Condoleezza Rice.

EFCA would amend the National Labor Relations Act to allow workers to form unions by simply signing a card or petition, impose real penalties on employers who violate the law, and allow for arbitration to settle first contract disputes.

I did something worse than St. Augustine did when I was a kid.  I must confess I broke into a house on the other side of town, and I did it just because it was such an ugly beat-down house that needed work so badly.

An astonishing 44 percent of Americans do not want President Bush impeached (Newsweek), 36 percent approve of the job he's doing (AP-Ipsos), 33 percent support the Iraq War (CNN).  What, you may ask, is the matter with these people? 

Donzella James, a former Georgia State Senator, US Congressional candidate, and elections integrity advocate, has decided to run for Chairperson of the Democratic Party of Georgia, Atlanta Progressive News has learned in an exclusive.

I finished John Nichols' book entitled, "The Genius of Impeachment." The Founders Cure for Royalism." So who hasn't heard the term, King George? Who hasn't cringed at Dick Cheney's know-it-all, my-way-or-the-highway attitude throughout this White House "occupation?"

A new paradigm has emerged in the field of education that coincides with the ascendancy of the political ultra-right. Elementary and secondary schools can and should be run for profit, right-wing ideologues insist, and, moreover, this profit motivation can provide the cure for all that ails the system of public education.

On Friday October 17, former Uruguayan president Juan María Bordaberry and his foreign minister, Juan Carlos Blanco, were placed under arrest. They have been implicated in murders of two politicians, Zelmar Michelini and Héctor Gutiérrez Ruíz, as well as suspected members of the Tupamaros, Rosario Barredo and William Whitelaw, in Buenos Aires on May 1976.

Now, we almost all agree that Bush and Cheney have done bad things.  But have they actually committed crimes?  If you know anyone who has any doubts on this topic, may I recommend a brilliant little book for you to stick in their stocking next month?

Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox’s Office has challenged Donzella James’s lawsuit regarding electronic voting in Georgia, Atlanta Progressive News (APN) has learned. James filed the lawsuit after her the so-called election “results” showed US Rep. David Scott (D-GA) beat her in the Democratic Primary.

Aristotle, one of the great minds of antiquity, thought that the population of states would have to be limited to the few thousand who could be directly seen and addressed at one place. Otherwise, he asked, who would be the herald of such a vast multitude, “Unless he have the voice of a Stentor? Clearly then, the best limit of the population of a state is the largest number which can be taken in at a single view.”

Fired by anger and disgust with George W. Bush, the Iraq war, corporate greed, corruption and human needs cutbacks, voters went to the polls Nov. 7 and terminated 12 years of Republican control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

I know you are dismayed and disheartened at the results of last week's election. You're worried that the country is heading toward a very bad place you don't want it to go. Your 12-year Republican Revolution has ended with so much yet to do, so many promises left unfulfilled. You are in a funk, and I understand.

It really was a remarkable election. Although only 40% of eligible voters cast their ballots, the Democrats really did win a sweeping victory, gaining over 30 seats in the House and recapturing the Senate, when few professional analysts gave them any chance to do so as late as Labor Day.
