Boy, I would like that, too! It's a shame I'm not a wealthy woman; I have so many good ideas for things to do with money, and gettting Ms. Sheehan off the national stage is one of my earnest desires.
Regarding picture with story:
Which one is the bigger actress?

Dear President Ahmawhackjob,
We're writing you today to demand "a peaceful world for ourselves and our children. Thank you.”
Sincerely,

Ok! All our problems are solved now. We've demanded a peaceful world. Thanks, Medea! Now we can talk about fun stuff like American Idol!
Dolores Huerta is the most prominent Chicana (Mexican American woman) labor leader in the United States.
In 1962 along with Ceasar Chavez, Dolores Huerta co-founded what would become the United Farm Workers Union (UFW).
In the 1980s she helped found KUFW--Radio Campesina, the union's radio station in California.
She has been arrested more than 20 times. In 1988, during a demonstration in San Francisco against the policies of presidential candidate George Bush, Huerta was severely injured by baton-swinging police officers. She suffered two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen. In order to save her life, she had to undergo emergency surgery. This incident outraged the public and caused the San Francisco police department to change its rules regarding crowd control and discipline.
Yes, every last word of it. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of their mouths.
Dolores Huerta, left, received the CPUSA’s “Red Flame Award” for outstanding progressive leadership. The award’s name is based on the nickname of Anne Burlak Timpson, an outstanding labor organizer and leader of the CPUSA. (From the Peoples Weekly World.)
before she adopted the name "Medea" as a Tufts University freshman, she was Susie Benjamin, self-described "nice Jewish girl from Long Island."
She went to Cuba with her first husband, who was coach of the national basketball team. Cuba's comparative social equality "made it seem like I died and went to heaven." She was working at a Communist-run newspaper in Cuba.
Her father, Al, is a well-to-do developer, who says he has "donated hundreds of thousands" of dollars to Global Exchange over its 14-year-history.
San Francisco nonprofit Global Exchange, which Benjamin co-founded in 1988 with her husband Kevin Danaher, a tough-talking activist.
She and her husband spend only two days a month together.
Kevin Danaher, Veteran Human Rights Activist and co-founder of Global Exchange. Kevin is an executive producer of the Green Festivals, two-day events bringing together hundred of green economy companies, social justice and environmental organizations, speakers, live music, organic food and drink, and tens of thousands of attendees hungry for a transition to the green economy.

A former economist and nutritionist with the United Nations and World Health Organization, Benjamin is the author/editor of eight books, and lives in San Francisco with her husband Kevin Danaher, who also works at Global Exchange, & is Executive Producer of Green Festivals. and her two daughters Arlen, age 20, and Maya, age 11.
Medea Benjamin's support for oppression precedes Global Exchange - she got her start in the mid-80s, providing aid to the Communist Sandinista government of Nicaragua as a coordinator for the Institute for Food and Development Policy.
As head of Global Exchange and the women's anti-war group Code Pink, she has stood on stage with all three Communist-dominated anti-war coalitions - the Workers' World Party-controlled International ANSWER, the Revolutionary Communist Party-dominated Not In Our Name coalition, and the creation of former Communist Party U.S.A. activist Leslie Cagan, the Coalition United for Peace and Justice.
Medea Benjamin's husband, described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of globalization's woes," Dr. Kevin Danaher.
Justice, Not War: "A momentous decision confronts us as a nation: Do we define the violence of Sept. 11 as an act of war or as a crime against humanity?," Dr. Danaher asks his audiences. "If we define it as war, it couches the issues in nationalist sentiment and separates us from the people of other nations. If we define it as a crime against humanity, it holds the potential for uniting humankind against the scourge of terrorism." Dr. Danaher will discuss how the US must, among other things, work for the establishment of an international criminal court and dedicate itself to ending global poverty if we are to succeed in abolishing international terrorism. Reducing global inequality has always been a moral imperative, Dr. Danaher says, and now it is also a strategic imperative.
Kevin Danaher, co-founder (with wife Medea Benjamin aka Susie) of the San Francisco nonprofit group Global Exchange, thinks political progressives can teach global capitalists a thing or two about trade and commerce.
Danaher has helped Global Exchange popularize the notion of fair trade. In short, he wants consumers to pay a bit more for coffee, chocolates and crafts as long as this extra markup flows to farmers or artisans in the developing world.
the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia, shoplifting, reproduction, the French resistance movement, adolescence, and the Christian right.
From the Huffington Post...
I have issues. While driving, I like to listen to Christian right-wing radio. Today on 740 AM in Los Angeles, the immigration protest were being compared to the war on Christianity (aren't most of the protesters Christian?), one world government, and ultimately a sign of the end times.
Of course in a matter of an hour they always come back to...The Gay Agenda.
Biography by Jason Ankeny
Singer/songwriter Jill Sobule rose to fame on the strength of her 1995 hit single "I Kissed a Girl," a tongue-in-cheek nod to the media's fascination with "lesbian chic." Born in Denver, Colorado in 1961, Sobule grew enamored of rock music at a young age, but did not seriously consider a career as a performer until she spent her junior year of college abroad in Spain. Upon her return to the U.S., she dropped out of school to devote her full energies to music, but her work found little success, and she battled with depression and anorexia. In 1990, Sobule finally made her debut with Things Here Are Different, recorded with producer Todd Rundgren. The album vanished from sight upon its release, however, and she was dropped by her label, MCA; disheartened and destitute, Sobule moved to Los Angeles and took a job as an assistant to a wedding photographer.
Sobule's fortunes turned when her lawyer played her demo tape for an Atlantic Records executive, who was so impressed by the contrast her winsome, folk-flavored pop offered in comparison to the then-current chart dominance of grunge that he quickly signed her to a contract. After the 1995 release of Jill Sobule and "I Kissed a Girl," she scored another hit with the satirical "Supermodel," featured prominently in Amy Heckerling's comedy smash Clueless. The LP Happy Town followed in 1997, impressing critics with a new level of depth and maturity; unfortunately, it didn't match Sobule's level of commercial success, and Atlantic dropped her from its roster. She took some time off from her solo recording career to regroup, and joined Lloyd Cole's new backing band the Negatives as a guitarist in 1999. After landing a new recording contract with Beyond, in 2000 Sobule returned with a new album, Pink Pearl. In the years that followed, Sobule dabbled in off-Broadway musicals, made an appearance on NBC's West Wing, composed songs for a Nickelodeon series called Unfabulous and played a busking musician in the indie film Mind the Gap, a movie that featured songs included on 2004's Underdog Victorious.
