Re: Impeach NOW!!
Date: July 10, 2002

How many millions spent on an private affair while the current Resident squanders our country's future? When will Americans wake up?

Please somebody, lets ask some serious questions here. Who knew What When -- and Why wasn't something done about it? This applies to 9/11, Harken, Halliburton, thousands of dead Afghans, and -- correct, I'll never get over it -- the Stealing of the Presidency.

From Pundit Pap: "Oh yeah, this guy's Dad just happened to be President of the United States at the time."

And his investors happened to be from Saudi Arabia and involved in the BCCI scandal. Why isn't this being reported or asked about?

Re: The Texas Dauphin's big Tuesday speech
Date: July 8, 2002

If prince georgie doesn't demand the arrest and conviction of kenneth lay, jeffrey skilling and the other guilty parties of enron, as well as those at arthur anderson, and demand that they each serve time at hard labor in prison -- NOT CLUB FED -- when he gives his "big speech" on Tuesday, that should be the final straw in calling for prince georgie's impeachment trial.

Considering that enron funded prince georgie's campaign means that he was elected with dirty money. All of those folks that lost their life savings when blocked from selling their stocks while able to at least recoup part of their savings were robbed because it was their life savings that paid for prince georgie's campaign.

Unless prince georgie calls for enron's and anderson's exec's arrest and conviction - followed by paying back the money he and other members of Congress received into a special fund for the victims - prince georgie MUST be found guilty of receiving stolen property in the funds that helped him scam his way into our Oval Office.

According to opensecrets.org:

Enron's PAC and its employees contributed $114,000 to Bush during the 2000 campaign, while former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay served as one of Bush's Pioneers, individuals who raised at least $100,000 for the campaign.

Andersen, meanwhile, was an even bigger supporter of Bush, having contributed $146,000 via its employees and PAC in 1999-2000. D. Stephen Goddard, relieved of his managerial duties in Anderson's Houston office in January, also was one of Bush's biggest individual donors during the election. All told, Andersen has contributed more than $5.2 million in soft money, PAC and individual contributions to federal parties and candidates, more than half to Republicans.

One other things -- just because prince georgie was able to skate by for the past 12 years regarding his insider trading profiteering at Harken does not mean that he cannot and should not be held accountable now. Just as with his having gone AWOL in 1972, the fact that he has been able to buy his way out of trouble should hasten the investigations into his fraudulent past and present dealings, not give him yet another "free pass."

After all, it could explain why he's done his very best to do away with any and all corporate legislation dealing with oversight and regulations.

And we still haven't seen those transcripts from cheney's secret meetings with the CEOs from the energy corporations that used to be led by prince georgie, uncle dickey cheney, and other corporations "formerly" run by others in prince georgie's regime. Will prince georgie include this information in his "big speech" as well?

I won't hold my breath.

Re: Politicking on the job
Date: July 8, 2002

I read in The Guardian (London) that fund manager Tom Shrager used the Tweedy, Browne name to inform the Daily Mirror that "his company was very unhappy with the Mirror for publishing [John] Pilger's piece [critical of George Bush]."

Words fail to express how inappropriate this act was, but I will try.

Politicking on company time amounts to an in-kind political donation to a political figure. One suspects that it may have been illegal and is in any event an act of dubious ethics. Furthermore, whether or not Mr. Shrager stated a respect for freedom of the press, his actions amounted to an attempt to suppress it. Finally, when companies are spending their time playing politics, they aren't attending to business. Any investor with sense will steer clear.

I would hope that the principals would disavow this inappropriate activity.
