Much smarter, more efficient rail transportation for passengers and freight

January 19, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

Progressives keep talking about “bullet trains” and other very high speed rail projects. There are BETTER REMEDIES than those! Some Olympia area folks have watched and discussed this short video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qaf6baEu0_w – but there are MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVES than what this short video discusses. For several years I have been supporting “SOLUTIONARY RAIL” (www.solutionaryrail.org), which would significantly reduce carbon emissions in transportation, reduce air pollution at transportation hubs, reduce highway/freeway congestion, help transportation workers, and provide other benefits. My December 2017 TV interview focused on that, and my November 2019 TV interview will provide more information about it. Here […]

13 1/2-minute interview with Lilly Adams about nuclear weapons!

January 10, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

In 2017 when I started the Olympia Coalition to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Lilly Adams from the Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (www.wpsr.org) was a great help! We brought her to Olympia twice in mid-2017, and I featured her as a guest on my TV June 2017 TV program (unfortunately, not watchable now – contact me if you want to watch the DVD at my house). Now she is working now for a nationwide organization, the Union of Concerned Scientists (www.ucsusa.org) . Here is a link to watch her 13 1/2-minute interview for a truly progressive and peace-oriented TV series, The […]

Tell Congress to ABOLISH the agency that runs the military draft

January 8, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

The U.S. law creating the military draft was passed in 1940.  It has oppressed generations of young Americans.  Now we have the opportunity to REPEAL THE LAW and abolish the Selective Service System, the federal agency that runs the military draft. In April 2019 I posted to my blog this information:  http://parallaxperspectives.org/urgent-tell-the-u-s-govt-to-stop-draft-registration The government accepted public comments until September 30, 2019.  Here is some information about that.  The U.S. National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service invited comments.  Many people made points such as these: 1. Stop requiring men to register for the draft. 2. Do not extend that […]

Imagine McConnell’s Senate impeachment trial behavior in a regular criminal trial

January 8, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s behavior in the Senate’s trial about impeaching Trump is truly outrageous.  No reasonable person would think it anywhere near acceptable in a regular criminal trial, but in the Republican-dominated perversion of the U.S., this is the “new normal.” Suppose some SERIOUS CRIMES have occurred anywhere in the U.S., and PROSECUTORS HAVE COMPILED OVERWHELMING, EXPLICIT EVIDENCE. Just when the criminal trial is set to begin — BEFORE THE DAMNING EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED — THE JURY DECLARES that it REFUSES TO HEAR THE EVIDENCE and simply DECLARES THE DEFENDANT INNOCENT. That is what the Republican-dominated U.S. Senate […]

Information and Insights about Trump’s New War Against Iran

January 5, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

Trump keeps doing one incredibly cruel and stupid thing after another. On January 2, 2020, he committed an illegal act of war against Iran.  This will surely backfire against innocent people in several nations, including Iran, Iraq, and American people who are overseas. I wrote a short (4 ½-page) article with information and insights about the war that Trump is provoking against Iran. I posted it to my blog, so you can read it at this link:  Info and Insights about Trump’s New War Against Iran. By approximately January 7 or 8 I will also write another document with additional […]

Every time you mail a letter, attach a sticker saying “ABOLISH nuclear weapons!”

January 2, 2020 GlenAnderson 0

The movement to abolish nuclear weapons needs to grow from the grassroots – and be visible everywhere. One way is to attach a sticker to every envelope you mail. I’m attaching a page that you can print onto labels (the typical 1” high by 2 5/8” wide format). Stick one onto every envelope you mail. In order to avoid distracting the USPS’s automated address-reading equipment, put this on the LEFT side of the envelope so the address will still be clearly readable. In case your printer can’t print these fonts, you might want to change the fonts so your printer […]
