" Senator Ted Kennedy Delivers""Response on Bush's Broken Promise to America's Schools"" We cannot remain silent when the President now fails to fund his own education bill. It was a wonderful promise -- but it has become a hollow promise.
in fact, his budget proposal actually cuts funds for public school reform, while
providing 4 billion dollars to private schools -- and 600 billion dollars in new tax
breaks for the wealthy.
With the President's cuts in education, 18,000 fewer teachers will be trained
next year."

How Poor Kids Pay for Tax Cuts
(See:http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16826826)
..."the real question about the future should not be the nature of the recession but the nature of
the recovery that is poised to begin in a few months. Right now, it looks at best like Recovery Lite, a function not of Greenspan's monetary policy but of President Bush's non stewardship of the other half of the equation - fiscal policy.
As the recession bottoms out, the fact that the government has lost control of its finances is going to act as a brake on the expansion that might be expected to follow. The blame game participants can argue causation all they want; the fact is, the government's house is not in order, and Bush is the president." See:

The Bush Administration energy plan ignores high-tech, energy-efficient solutions in favor of increased oil, gas, coal, and nuclear production, while his budget proposal slashes funding for renewable energy and efficiency by a third.

We do not want to remember this as a time when the nations of the world united in a campaign against terrorists, and then backed away when America attempted to prosecute foreign nationals in secret trials conducted according to unfair rules.

EFF Analysis Of The Provisions Of The USA PATRIOT Act
That Relate To Online Activities (Oct 31, 2001)
(SI excerpt see:http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16806023)
On October 26, 2001, President BUSH signed the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) into law".
The bill is 342 pages long and makes changes, some large and some small, to over 15 different
statutes.The civil liberties of ordinary Americans have taken a tremendous blow with this law, especially
the right to privacy in our online communications and activities. Yet there is no evidence that our
previous civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of terrorists."
