I wish to put forward the Idea of Including Motor tax in our fuel prices.
This will make it a pay as you go system, most people will probably end up paying less tax, some more.
Dear Senator Kerry,
My family and I have been friends and supporters of yours for many decades since your courageous stand in speaking out and protesting against the Vietnam War. Your leadership on that issue was inspiring. Our family took the Bush/Cheney attacks on your record very personally. In fact, our family house on Cape Cod was nearly lost as a result of the spurious lawsuit against you and my father by Karl Rove’s Swiftboat cohorts in the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential election.

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) strongly welcomes the Irish artists' 'pledge' to boycott Israeli cultural institutions until Israel complies with international law. This pledge not only represents a significant victory for the ethical responsibilities of international cultural figures; a key factor in the cultural boycott of Israel, but is a ground breaking strategy in supporting Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice.
