FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH -- Actions to Take to Make the Difference

Here's an easy one! You can take this action lying down . . . with your eyes closed! Put on your headphones and tune in to the wide and varied voices on our side heard on CSPAN.org or NPR radio. Granted, CSPAN is a great source of liberal voices most of the time but, oddly, April 15th, is jam-packed with subjects in which we're especially interested.

MOST NOTABLY, Democrat Representative Charles Rangel's Speech to the Washington Press Club is really one to remember and one I'd like to reprint here in its entirety if I could. His subject is a brilliant angle (a Rangel angle! LOL) on "taking action" and "serving our country." He calls it "The Death Tax" which is the new name for what was the inheritance tax. But while the wealthy of our nation are getting tax cuts and becoming wealthier, it's the poor who are paying the heaviest of all taxes, their actual death in Iraq. Rep. Rangel talks about shared sacrifice. You've got to hear it to understand. It's an incredibly brilliant -- and informative -- speech! Go there. Put on the headphones, close your eyes and really listen. I believe it will change you. I don't have to suggest that you share it with others. I believe you'll be moved to do so.
