Visitor info... The automated news feeds on this website are constantly changing.  This site's hand posted news headlines and stories change throughout the week. When adding a story mid week, I don't place the new story on the top or the bottom of this page, but rather somewhere in the middle.  (Yes, I like to be different:)  About once a week, (Tuesday morning if all goes well) I archive all hand posted stories to a new archive page.

In addition to news feeds and local news links, we are the first business in Northern NY, to add links to most major U.S.A. news sources and links to several Daily Newspapers from all around the World.  After all, if you really want to know what is going on in the world, you had better be reading more than one country's news headlines. 
 Anything less is not full coverage news.

From www.democrats.com on - 1/7/2005
We - the broad progressive movement - won a huge victory today in Congress.
No, we didn't win the vote to reject Ohio's Electors - but we never thought we would.

We did win the debate.
(C-Span: http://tinyurl.com/672p9 )
Our side won the debate because we talked about the fundamental basis of Democracy: the right of everyone to vote, and the right to have every vote counted.

Republicans could not challenge our facts. So they viciously attacked our motives. If you missed Tom DeLay's closing argument, you must watch it. It was pure poison - like everything Tom DeLay says and does. We're counting the days until his theft of the Texas legislature puts him behind Texas bars - where it won't be "Camp Cupcake."

But our champions did not wither under withering fire. They stood their ground. They stood tall.

What now?

First, Ohio is not over. There are two cases still in the courts. They raise crucial substantive questions that go to the heart of whether Ohio's election was fair or fraudulent. We will continue to track these cases, to make sure justice is done.

Second, Election Reform is not over. Every Democrat - and even a few Republicans - emphasized the voting problems that need to be fixed. If Republicans block action on basic reforms like paper trails, they will confront millions of very angry voters.

Third, Bush's "legitimacy" is not over. Millions of Americans know that he certainly stole Florida in 2000, and possibly stole Ohio in 2004. The dark cloud over Bush's head will not be lifted until the questions raised in the Conyers Report are answered. As long as Ken Blackwell refuses to answer those questions, Bush's second term will be as illegitimate as his first.

Finally, the pro-Democracy movement is not over. We fought for this debate against infinite odds, and we got the debate we demanded. We fought against the fear of Democratic leaders and the rage of Republican leaders, but they could not silence us or repudiate our cause. Our champions have stepped forward, and we will work with them until we guarantee every American has the right to vote.

My Reply
If you really think you are doing so well... Where have your news headlines been ever since election day ?
Personally I think every congressman who didn't vote on the 6th of this month, should be arrested for dereliction of duty. That includes all republicans who walked out and 80 democrats who didn't do the job they were
sworn in to do just 2 days earlier !
 Sincerely,
