Sheehan, Supporters Protest at Karl Rove Event
AUSTIN - Chanting "Try Rove for treason," Cindy Sheehan and more than 50 other war protesters ambushed a reception before President Bush's top adviser Karl Rove spoke at a fundraiser at a hotel Saturday.

TRY ROVE FOR TREASON
Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, center, and her sister Dede Miller, left, are caught in the middle when police arrest Tiffany Burns as more than 50 others protesting the war stood outside the doors of the ballroom.
Bush's top advisor Karl Rove was speaking at an Associated Republicans of Texas dinner Saturday, Aug. 19, 2006, in Austin, Texas.
One woman was arrested during a scuffle with police after Sheehan and the anti-war demonstrators rushed toward the closed doors and kept chanting loudly after the guests went into the dinner.
Rove was speaking at an Associated Republicans of Texas dinner, where ticket prices started at $200 per person and raised an estimated $250,000.
He was not in the Renaissance Austin Hotel lobby during the reception.
"I want him arrested.   He planned the war that killed my son," Sheehan, referring to Rove, told the officers guarding the door.
Sheehan's oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Police then ordered the group to leave, but some protesters had paid for rooms for the night.
Those protesters went upstairs, including Sheehan.
One protester was able to slip inside the ballroom during the dinner but was escorted out after shouting about men and women dying, the Austin American-Statesman reported in its Sunday editions.
"Pat, did you get her check before she left?"   Rove quipped to the GOP group's executive director, Pat Robbins, as the crowd of 300 laughed, the newspaper reported.

"Pat, did you get her check before she left?"   Rove quipped to the GOP group's executive director, Pat Robbins, as the crowd of 300 laughed.
"I want him arrested.
"He planned the war that killed my son," the veteran mother said.
"Some of them are people looking for a free meal," Rove said, drawing more laughs.
"I don't question the patriotism of our critics.   Many are hardworking public servants who are doing the best they can.   Some of them are people looking for a free meal," Rove said, drawing more laughs.
Earlier, wearing shorts and T-shirts while guests of the lobby reception walked past in sequined dresses and expensive suits, anti-war demonstrators carried American flags and signs, including one that read "Check your conscience."
Rove v. Truth: No Contest
A few protesters unfurled a large banner from a sixth-floor hotel balcony that read "Rove v. Truth: No Contest.   Pink slip Rove."
Those at the reception sipped their drinks and largely ignored the protesters before they started chanting.   One man looked at the group and said, "Go Bush!"
Earlier Saturday, the group of more than 70 gathered at the hotel entrance, carrying a large banner that read, "Rove: Guilty of crimes against humanity."   Former U.S. Diplomat Ann Wright, who resigned in 2003 in protest over the war, yelled through a bullhorn, "Karl Rove, you are a criminal!"
After about 30 minutes, Austin police made them move onto grass at the edge of the property about a block away.   Dozens remained later Saturday, holding signs as cars drove by, honking their horns.
On Saturday afternoon Sheehan and the group left their campsite in Crawford near Bush's ranch, where they have held vigil the past two weeks, and drove about 100 miles south to Austin.
The war protest will continue until early September, although Bush's ranch 10-day ranch vacation ended last weekend.   Sheehan's 26-day protest last August drew more than 10,000 to her campsite in ditches off the rural road leading to the ranch, but she recently bought land near downtown for the group to camp on.

Karl Rove Rally
By Ti'Juana Hardwell, Hope Street Youth Development.    April 26, 2004.
Find out why hundreds of activists staged a rally at the house of George Bush's Senior Policy Advisor.
In my lifetime I have been called many things, including intelligent and ambitious.
In March, my local newspaper spotlighted me as one of three powerful emerging black leaders in my community.
But it was not until just recently that I was labeled a member of "a guerilla group," a "professional grievance monger," and a "thug."

Author Ti'Juana Hardwell in front of
Hope Street Youth Development.
It all started when I traveled from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas to Washington DC to participate in a rally at the house of President Bush's Senior Policy Advisor, Karl Rover.   As an active member of my community who has worked on numerous issues relating to improving education for students, I was concerned about the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill currently in congress, which would allow in-state tuition rates for undocumented immigrant college students seeking citizenship.   All we asked of Rove was his support for the DREAM Act.
It is estimated that there are 50,000-65,000 undocumented students who graduate from U.S high schools each year and have no option to go to college because they can't afford to pay out-of-state tuition rates.
That's a sad cost to pay after living, bleeding, and knowing only the American way of life.
Karl Rove rally
Activists hold signs as they rally outside Karl Rove's house.
The real story behind our visit to Karl Rove is that after numerous failed attempts to contact Mr. Rove in his office, members of National People's Action (NPA), a national coalition of community groups, came thousands of miles from all over the country by plane, by car, and by bus to stage a rally and meet with him at his residence on March 28.
We came to take "direct action" because we had no other option.
Prior to visiting Rove's house, we tried through letters and phone calls to get a meeting with him or one of his representatives.
However, he refused to meet with us or to send someone in his place.   There are 43 senators who support the DREAM Act, but the White House has not taken a public stance on it.   We need the White House's support for the bill to get the Senate to vote on it this year.
As we rallied on his front lawn, Rove watched from the inside of his home as NPA members chanted and held signs that read, "Say Yes to DREAM."
In the mirror of his eyes, because I came that close to him, I saw a man who was finally coming to the realization that he had bullied the very citizens he serves and now we were standing up to him.
Coming not to threaten Rove's family, because that would have served zero value, we arrived only to set up a meeting with him. When those in power decide that they are above democracy, we take democracy to them.
rove rally
Karl Rove, inside his home, points angrily at the protestors.
When the police arrived on the scene, Rove was ready to meet. He met with two of our leaders in his garage and told us that the White House's position on the DREAM Act is posted on the website.   Since then, we have searched the website and have not found even a single reference to the DREAM Act.
The protest received coverage in the Washington Post and on CNN, but it was a piece written by conservative columnist Michelle Malkin that upset me.
Shortly after the visit to Rove's house, I arrived at my home-base organization, Hope Street Youth Development, where I work on improving Wichita schools.
Before I got down to work, someone distracted my attention elsewhere. I read and analyzed a poorly written and ill-mannered article written by Michelle Malkin.
She attacked NPA and made false accusations that our acts were those of "left wing thugs."
Might I now mention that during our visit to Rove's house, never once did we snatch a purse or hi-jack a car.
We are a well-disciplined organization — we are not, as Malkin calls us in her article, "thugs," "a guerrilla group," "a left-wing goon squad," or "professional grievance-mongers."
Being portrayed as such in a society that is supposed to encourage democratic involvement does everything to discourage democracy.
Malkin insists NPA members drove thousands of miles to "invade the private property of their victims and intimidate their families."
The truth, however, is that for years the very neighborhoods of which NPA members reside are in conditions that victimize us.
We are victims of inadequate housing, a lack of educational resources, insufficient jobs, loan sharks, and discrimination.
Yet, when we stand up to those government and city officials who allow it, they try to intimidate us and refuse our requests to form partnerships which would surely improve these conditions.
Karl Rove rally Hundreds gathered outside Rove's home to get him to support the DREAM Act.
Hundreds gathered outside Rove's home to get him to support the DREAM Act.
According to some news reports about the rally, NPA's persistent encouragement for Rove to set up a meeting with us caused two children inside of his home to cry.
It's unfortunate that that happened, but children crying inside of Rove's house is not something we should solely pay pity towards.
I ask, "What about the children back in our communities being terrorized?"
Our communities have children too, and unfortunately Mr. Rove did not seem to care about them.
Instead, the inactions and greed of a few in power often harm us.
Now Rove has come face to face with the very people who are negatively affected by his policies.
It angered me to read and then know that the media will derive negativity when groups of non-violent citizens demand better conditions in their communities. My own spirits were butchered like a pig in a meat-packing factory.
Honestly, I don't care about labels — liberal or conservative.   As someone who cherishes living in America, I'm all about improving my community by any means necessary.   When the system doesn't work, NPA tries to fix it.   To me, the greatest sin would be to sit back and wait for change to knock on my door and say it's safe to come outside.
It is unfortunate that I live in the same society where there are Michelle Malkins or people who want to see change but don't want to make it.
Books such as Malkin's "Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals and Other Foreign Menaces to our Shores" talk about the problems in America but don't say anything about how to solve them.
Instead its blatantly racist narrative places the blame squarely on the backs of those who want so badly to make America great.
When I consider the policies that Malkin is advocating, it makes me realize who the real terrorists are.
It's most disappointing that those are the kind of books that become national best sellers.   Those are books that are all talk and no action. Those are books that I would trash because I already know what the problems are.   I live with them!
Unfortunately for Malkin, I am 16-years of age with my whole life ahead of me.   And with Malkin's misfortune, she will live to see me taking "direct action."
She will read headlines that say, "Schools receive funding necessary to better education" and "Communities join together and hold city officials accountable."
One can't really want change unless they're out there making it.

Money Troubles
With the federal budget deficit approaching $500 billion, lawmakers are furious about the way the administration has played them for fools when it comes to paying for Iraq 		 

NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE

Aug. 29, 2003 — The U.S. administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, delivered the bad news this week.   The war in Iraq will cost tens of billions of dollars, which means we’re approaching a collision between President Bush’s fiscal policy and national-security needs.
SO HOW DID Bush respond?   He fired off a letter to Congress to cut the pay raise promised to federal workers.   He said the country is in a state of national emergency and has been since 9 /11.   The pay cut saves mere pennies compared to the billions Bush needs, but bureaucrats are easy scapegoats.   The public doesn’t pay much attention when a government worker gets screwed.
Here’s a suggestion: what if Bush had suspended the cut on the estate tax, calling on both workers and the wealthy to kick in their share?   That would be a bit more credible.   With the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reporting this week that the federal budget deficit is approaching a record $500 billion, lawmakers are furious about the way the administration has played them for fools when it comes to paying for Iraq.   “The Iraqis ask, ‘Why can’t you turn on the lights?’   We have a George C. Marshall plan with a Grover Norquist budget,” says a Senate Republican.
Norquist is known as “Mr. Tax Cut.”   He’s president of Americans for Tax Reform and the grinch who steers the GOP’s antitax movement.   Cutting taxes is the holy grail for the Republican right, but draining the treasury runs counter to national security.   There isn’t enough money to properly fund homeland security or pick up the pace of reconstruction in Iraq, though the administration will be back for a war “supplemental” when Congress returns next week.   That’s Washington-speak for billing the taxpayers, who pay for the war with reduced government services at home.
After May1 , when Bush declared major combat operations in Iraq over, the White House with great fanfare announced it was shifting gears to focus on tax cuts.   Bush pushed through his second round of tax cuts primarily benefiting the Dick Cheneys of the world, and now he’s pinching pennies on the backs of federal workers to stem the flow of red ink.   Bush will get money from Congress for Iraq.   No credible lawmaker proposes bailing out.   But the question now is whether Bush will pay a political price for bungling the aftermath of an easy military victory and losing the peace through a combination of arrogance, naiveté and incompetence.
The plan for the aftermath was based on the assumption that the Iraqis would greet their invaders as conquering heroes, and that the oil would rapidly begin to flow, underwriting the cost of rebuilding the country.   Both premises were wrong.   A development consultant working with American companies has been in and out of Iraq since July.   “The needs are gargantuan,” he says.   “It’s a horrible place that needs everything.   Bremer sees what needs to be done, but there is real resistance in Washington to coming up with the money and making the decisions.”
If the occupation had been properly handled, maybe U.S. forces could look forward to reducing their presence in six months to a year, but that no longer seems possible.   Anti-American attitudes among the Iraqis are hardening and unless the administration gets hold of the situation, the country could become radicalized and pose a greater danger to the United States than Saddam Hussein.   A former ambassador to the region doesn’t conceal his outrage at the administration’s ineptness.   “Disbanding the Iraqi Army, allowing the looting and the way we behaved on the street—breaking into houses, frisking women and standing aside while people were robbed—it was horrendous.”
The main mission of American troops now is self-protection.   They aren’t handing out candy to children or joining in impromptu soccer games.   They are hunkered down hoping only to survive.   “You can walk around the streets in central Baghdad and not see a single serviceman,” says the former ambassador.   “We don’t look like we’re occupying anything.”
The good news for Bush is that Democrats believe that Iraq requires more money, so Bush will get additional funds.   The bad news is that the added cost aggravates the fiscal situation.   Still, military spending is pump-priming the economy, and that will help him in getting reelected.   That plus the tax cuts may provide Bush the boost he needs.   “He’ll have to pay the piper, but that won’t be ‘til the second term,” says a Senate Republican.
The mounting anxiety about Bush’s course in Iraq and at home fuels Democrat Howard Dean, the most aggressive of the president’s challengers.   Party leaders worry that Dean, another liberal from a northeastern state, will consign the Democrats to four more years in the wilderness.   But it’s not Dean’s views on national security or the economy that make him vulnerable.   “I can tell you what [Karl] Rove will do,” says the Capitol Hill Republican, predicting ads by “Citizens for the Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage,” or somesuch group should Dean become the nominee.
That’s why as the situation in Iraq appears more dire, Democrats are buzzing about the likely entry of former NATO general Wesley Clark into the race.   But it’s not Clark’s critique of Iraq that enhances his candidacy, it’s the military sense of values that he can convey.   However badly Iraq goes, Democrats can’t win national elections unless they’re able to address their social and cultural weaknesses.

Bushwhacked By Budget Cuts
Sarah Johnston-Gardner
May 19, 2003

budget cuts
The United States is one of the richest and most powerful nations of all time.
We have the ability to provide health care and education to all our citizens, but our government is not prioritizing funding for these needs.
Instead, the priority is more military spending on what is already the largest military force in the world.
In light of the recent devastating budget cuts to schools and universities across the country, can we really say we all enjoy equal access to education, enabling us to lead the lives that we want?
Is a society really secure that values an oversized military with weapons of mass-destruction, a nuclear arsenal, and ballistic missiles dwarfing any of our potential enemies over the quality of education and health care?
Congress must approve the budget
Every year the President has to propose a budget for the spending of discretionary funds that Congress must approve.
The proposed federal budget from President Bush for 2003 asked for an unprecedented amount of our tax dollars to be directed to defense and the Pentagon, while millions are being cut from state and social service programs.
Military spending currently takes 50 percent of our budget while education takes only 9 percent.
Proposed budget cuts will damage food stamps, veterans’ benefits, childcare, school lunch programs, and other important services.
Three times amount federal government spends on education K-12
At the same time, Bush proposed an additional $75 billion to finance the war in Iraq. This amount could have paid the salaries of 1.5 million elementary school teachers.
And while Bush proposed $75 billion, it is more likely that the total cost of the war will be more like $100 billion, according to The National Priorities Project.
That is three times the amount the federal government spends on education K-12.

Better Budget Resolution: A resolution passed in Vermont in 1997 by Senator Jean Ankeney that states a firm commitment to responsible re-prioritizing of federal funds. www.wand.org
How does the budget affect you?
If you are a high school student, the funding statewide for high schools has been cut $6,771 million.
Compare this to the $15.7 billion we will spend on nuclear weapons.
While it is difficult to imagine how large this amount really is, the consequences will be clearly tangible: decaying buildings, underpaid teachers, old textbooks and the destruction of special education and school lunch programs.
Public school construction projects funds eliminated
Approximately forty education programs — including dropout prevention, school counselors, and rural education — will be eliminated.
The National Education Association cites that public school construction projects need $268 billion to complete their projects, yet Bush's new budget proposes that these funds be eliminated.
Are schools in your district deteriorating or overcrowded?
Is it difficult to find the money to build or repair your schools?
These problems will persist if we do not change the spending priorities of our government.
If you enrolled in higher education, the cut is $2,442 million. The result is more confusion in the bureaucracy of universities, higher tuitions, cuts in departments and spending overall.
How budget cuts affect different states
In Portland, Oregon, teachers have agreed to work two weeks without pay.
Can you imagine if the government asked soldiers to fly out to combat without pay or adequate maps?
Also a Portland program known as New Avenues for Youth, which provides alternatives to jails for juvenile offenders, is in danger of being eliminated due to the $250 million in proposed cuts to juvenile justice programs in President Bush's budget for next year.
There is also a $400 million cut in after-school programs for children at risk of falling into delinquency.
This would mean ending after-school programs for 500,000 students, according to Department of Education figures.
This is particularly troubling, as juvenile crime rates are on the rise and after-school programs have been demonstrated to make a difference in the direction of some youths' lives.
The combination of these two cuts could lead to a devastating shift in the lives of many youths.
Wise choices in spending?
In California, $601 million be cut from higher education and $888 million from education K-12.
These cuts can be compared with the $7.6 billion California taxpayers will pay for the war, which could instead provide for 130,460 public elementary school teachers or healthcare for more than 4 million uninsured children.
California will also pay $2 billion in nuclear weapons in 2004, which could have paid for 242,419 spots for children in Head Start preschool programs.
Do you think these are wise choices in spending?
Struggling students
Massachusetts has lost $75 million for higher education.
Republican governor Mitt Romney has proposed to consolidate two community colleges in western Massachusetts — one is urban, Holyoke Community College, and the other rural, Greenfield Community College.
The two colleges are 40 miles apart and there is no public transportation provided.
Paul Revera, executive vice-president of Holyoke Community College, explained that their school population is made up of mostly "working people, single parents and people without cars."
Revera suggested that the complex consolidation Romney called for would only complicate matters further for these struggling students.
In addition, the University of Massachusetts Amhert has had to cut programs such as student safety patrols, childcare, and the arts.
Students at this state-run university can expect a 15 percent increase in in-state tuition — for many, this means a public university education has become unaffordable.
Even if schools in your state have not suffered yet, the budget cuts will inevitably affect the future workforce of the entire country.
Education is empowerment.
If it is only offered to the few then we can expect the problems associated with the cycle of poverty and crime that affects us all to only get worse.
What are we spending it on?
If we are not spending money on education, what are we spending it on?
A $48 billion increase in military spending, and a proposed $75 billion or more for the war in Iraq.
In his proposed $2.13 trillion fiscal year (FY) 2003 budget, President Bush is requesting $396.1 billion in defense spending.
This is a $48 billion increase from FY 2002, and represents the largest defense increase in two decades, returning the U.S. to peak Cold War military spending levels.
The figures they are asking for do not take into account the snowballing costs of the war in Iraq, which have been estimated to cost over $100 billion dollars, according to the National Priorities Project.
How much is 48 billion?
According to Women’s Action for New Directions the $48 billion proposed military spending increase is by itself more than three times the combined defense budgets of Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Cuba, Sudan and Syria — those nations traditionally regarded as "rogue nations" or states of concern.
Clearly, the United States dwarfs the rest of the world in military spending: The proposed increase amount is larger than the entire defense budget of every other country, except Russia ($60 billion).
For 2003, military spending comprises 53% of all discretionary spending ($755 billion).
More money will be spent on the military next year than on all discretionary social programs combined.
Military spending currently takes 50 percent of our budget while education takes only 9 percent.

When we study these figures we can also think of what we could be doing with this money instead.
For example the $15.7 billion for nuclear weapons in FY2003 could instead provide salaries for nearly 300,000 new elementary school teachers.
The $396.1 billion proposed military budget could instead provide almost 16 million children with health care.
These "trade-offs," as the National Priorities Project calls them, harm everyone, but we do have the power to influence our representatives to incite changes in spending priorities.
We must continue to ask our representatives why our government can not provide an adequate education and a safe place to attend school for all its citizens, yet at the same time it can provide billions for a war that will inevitably harm innocent civilians overseas?
War-hungry President
We cannot place the blame solely on the local officials who are struggling with painful cuts to their budgets.
We have to turn to the federal level, to the war-hungry President and the Republican majority in Congress and Senate.
We have to raise our voices, and let our representatives know we want books not bombs!
Most citizens want safe neighborhoods, and ensuring quality public education will help end the cycle of poverty that leads to crime.
In his State of the Union address, Mr. Bush said he would "apply the compassion of America to the deepest problems of America" by introducing a $150-million-a-year program to provide mentors for children with parents in prison and disadvantaged middle school students.
He, of course, failed to mention the thousands of problems that are arising as a direct result of budget cuts to these and other government-run social and education programs.
Clearly it's going to take more than just lip-service to solve America's internal problems, and you can make a difference.
So, call your representatives in Congress, inform them and educate others on the need to shift our nation’s priorities.
