If you sign up for an Amazon.com VISA card you get $30 of your first purchase on that card.  If your purchase is less than $30 they will charge your card  1 cent.

It took me a couple minutes to sign up for the card, and I was approved instantly and was able to use it right away.  I don't have a job (I'm a student) so I just put self employed in for my employer and my cell phone for the number.  And in order to make sure I was approved I said I made a lot more money than I actually make and I doubled the amount I pay for rent.

You get free shipping if the total is more than $25, so I got "Growing Up Red" along with George Lakoff's book "Don't Think of an Elephant".  The total was $29.95.

Chavez:Florida-based opposition link to terrorist attack in Venezuela

The people who are resposible for this car bombing are either the Venezuelan generals and businessmen, that are in exile in the US, who carried out the CIA supported coup in 2002.  Or it was the CIA themselves.

This is a video everyone MUST watch.  It shows what the Bush administration did to Venezuala in 2002, and how our media just feeds us government propaganda. It is a very good movie. This is exactly what they did in Haiti. They think nothing of overthrowing democratically elected governments in coups, of course they would steal an election in this country if they could.

Here is a link to download it with Bit Torrent:

Bush and Kerry on war vote

"Later this week, the United States Congress will vote on this matter. I have asked Congress to authorize the use of America's military, if it proves necessary, to enforce U.N. Security Council demands. Approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable. The resolution will tell the United Nations, and all nations, that America speaks with one voice and is determined to make the demands of the civilized world mean something. Congress will also be sending a message to the dictator in Iraq: that his only chance -- his only choice is full compliance, and the time remaining for that choice is limited."

President Bush, Cincinnati speech Oct. 7, 2002.


"As the president made clear earlier this week, 'Approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable.' It means ,'America speaks with one voice.' ...

"In giving the president this authority, I expect him to fulfill the commitments he has made to the American people in recent days: to work with the United Nations Security Council to adopt a new resolution setting out tough and immediate inspection requirements, and to act with our allies at our side if we have to disarm Saddam Hussein by force.

"If he fails to do so, I will be among the first to speak out."

Sen. John Kerry, Senate floor speech, Oct. 9, 2002.


"In Saddam Hussein, we saw a threat. Members of both political parties, including my opponent and his running mate, saw the threat, and voted to authorize the use of force."

President Bush, speech to the Republican Convention, Sept. 2.
