Progressive Democrat Newsletter 303
It was my son, Jacob's, birthday this last week. One of the things I have done every year on his birthday is make a donation to plant trees somewhere in the world to help the environment and combat global warming. I do this specifically to help his future. This last week also saw the death of the first African woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai, the founder of the Green Belt Movement which linked democracy, women's empowerment and the environment in a way that reminds me of my mother's old lectures as an Anthropologist describing the ties between feminism and environmentalism.
In honor of Wangari Maathai and for Jacob's future and the future of all children who will be suffering the consequences of our generations' poor environmental practices, please consider a donation to the excellent Green Belt Movement.
More on Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai:
This past couple of weeks yet more top ranking al-Qaeda leaders around the world have been captured or killed. Adding to Obama's success rate at fighting the people who attacked us compared with Bush's near complete failure. The secret to Obama's success was to stop fighting the illegal Bush quagmire in Iraq, which was NEVER connected to the 9/11 attacks on America, and focus our resources on fighting the people who actually attacked us.
How US tracked Anwar al-Awlaki to his death in Yemen
Afghanistan Haqqani militant Haji Mali Khan captured
and an analysis from a source not usually considered favorable to Democrats:
The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki: A crippling blow
Obama's foreign policy:
1. re-establish respect and trust around the world (accomplished and recognized with a Nobel Prize)
2. Wind down the illegal Bush Quagmire in Iraq (substantially done...too slow and incomplete, but still substantially done)
3. get bin Laden (DONE!)
4. cripple al-Qaeda (in progress...after years of al-Qaeda growing under Bush, they are finally being seriously hurt under Obama)
5. stabilize Afghanistan...(well, I HOPE this is in progress)
and along the way he has taken advantage of circumstances to bring democracy to Egypt and Libya and take down Qadaffi, someone Bush supported and Reagan couldn't get.
I'd say not bad given the mess Obama was handed. Not perfect, but not bad.
Here in New York many people have been trying to take on Wall Street in protest of the pro-Billionaire policies that Bush established and continue too much under Obama. Mayor Bloomberg has been responding with mass arrests and thuggish police tactics. Those of us who remember being called terrorists because we protested the Republican Convention in NYC in 2004 are not surprised at Bloomberg's tactics. He hates dissent and is willing to use illegal police tactics to stifle it. Ask the organization (or disorganization) Critical Mass. Their participation in the 2004 anti-Bush protests brought down full scale Bloomberg-ordered persecution against them. And I personally saw undercover police on motor scooters antagonize the protesters (unsuccessfully, I proudly add) by pushing their motor scooters DANGEROUSLY into the crowd. This was a deliberate provocation tactic by the NYPD and they are doing the same kinds of crap now.
We're Not Broke, Just Twisted: Extreme Wealth Inequality in America:
To find out more about the opposition to pro-Billionaire policies, check out Occupy Wall Street.
And a reminder about how YOU can fight Wall Street every day by changing your banking practices (it will get you better customer service and probably better terms than your current bank gives you), click here to find out about better banking. We ALL can say "no" to Wall Street while helping our local economy and small businesses.
And on another front, (and one where cops and liberals agree!) fighting back against the right wing extremist Republican attack on firefighters, nurses and cops:
Here is this week's newsletter:
