According to Internet News 3 American Solders were killed under orders to protect the poppy plants and Plantations. Then according to updates the Solders that blew the whistle were found dead and no report of enemy fire.
As President of the United States of America will there be a Court Ordered Investigation ? On this issue and if this Internet Story is a lie ?
Federal Reports that 27,000 Americans died from this Health Care Concept, in 2007. Over 1/2 Million Americans died within the last 7 to 10 years.
This has been linked to the cause and effect of why we are at War In Afghan. The pin pointing and linking of the two issue alone is more then Probable Cause for a United States Federal Investigation of the true cause of why the United States was attacked.
Other supporting evidence and it is in support by our supporters within this issue a photo after a battle to protect these filed in Afghan.
even after 10 years of this war that has crippled the USA Economy, along with the Pharmaceutical Heroin. For most of us... We Have Been In The Company Of Death Long Enough.
As for me and my friends and supporters, a warning to all of these Respectable Members Of Congress, it is the voice of the people that dictate policy in America. And I do move the American People to vote out all and just start over. In order that criminal investigations can go un-fringed.
The source of photo and News Story from, the New York Times and CBS News, is in agreement of information.

Hi Jennifer Granholm. Congratulations. I know you will talk about popular news events. But can you put up notes on your back wall educating us. The word will get out to others if you can explain some things. I also think this will make you very endearing to many people. So we the people really learn and understand. Like city government, state government and the federal government. Why we need each. And historically why certain governments over reached or under reached. How about the Marshall Plan, `pluralisn, electoral vs popular votes. When can the people, initiate referendums or propositions to overturn the legislative branch? When I look at your seriousness about making a difference in this world. I want to believe you will do serious things. Keith O. is trying, but he is debating and fighting with the power thugs. There is no one helping us to understand. I know we all should keep going to school. But who can afford it. There are also so many library books available or even the hours that the library is open. In closing I just realized our first president of the United States: George Washington was born in Britain and he became president. For that fact, so did Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. I love this country as much as you do. I want all our people to fight ignorance, intolerance and poverty. The only way I see is through knowledge, compassion and participation. Again Congratulations, and I look forward to watching your show.

Can anyone win the midwest (i.e. Mitt Romney) after stating that the government should have let General Motors fail? Michigan and Ohio are so dependent on the automobile industry, how does Mitt campaign in those states?

I totally agree with Gordon_Shumway. Watched Elizabeth Warren. Turned off when it went to the Obama political ad regarding the war room. I'm not impressed. Still waiting for "hope & change" that was generated in the last political war room.
When this administration proposes selling the TARP foreclosures to private equity to use as rental properties please present the opposing view from homeowners who do not want rental properties in their neighborhoods - just to revive the housing market. I live across the street from a sub prime foreclosure. The last occupants never belonged in my neighborhood. Acquired the house with a no-doc mortgage and (6) subsequent home equity loans according to public record - never investing a dime into the property. Used for trips to Disney, pop-up camper, etc. before walking away from the mortgage/property. I DONT WANT RENTERS WITH NOTHING INVESTED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LIVING ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME. It's not the governments place to fix the housing market. Should've never bought toxic assets from irresponsible lenders in the first place. Let the market correct itself. Let the lenders write down/write off and sell at fair market value. I live within my means and dont want to be penalized in the long run by politicians looking to get re-elected. - 4 months ago

What I DON'T want to see is a show filled with softball questions for Dems and standard Dem. vs. Rep. rhetoric. We can get that on MSNBC. The value of CurrentTV has been giving voice to independent Progressive voices like TYT and Olbermann. These are shows that are not afraid to make Obama or the Corporate Dems uncomfortable and that's what we need.
Elizabeth Warren was a great get for the first show and was good programming. The time spent on the Obama "War Room" was a waste. Don't let the show become beholden to the "Political Establishment" to keep this kind of access. I doubt that you'll see Keith or Cenk getting invited "behind the scenes" of the Obama Campaign; but that's why they are worth watching.
A sign of whether this show is worth watching will be whether you keep getting invited "behind the scenes" of the Obama or any other Campaign. If you do, you're probably NOT doing your job getting to the REAL issues.

When states enact new procedures for voting rights...why don't we hear MORE protestation that should be going on for the TIME AND MEANS TO REACH AT LEAST 95% OF THOSE VOTERS WHO COULD BE PURGED FROM THE RECORDS for one reason or another. The seniors, in particular, who might be homebound most of the time and can't get a photo ID without great effort...and the new rules that impact students, whose voting privilege has been thwarted...and how about the many who find themselves moving about because they need to do so to find work? Why can't these folks be given a means to vote that is accessible to them where EVER they are so they can exercise their right to vote in government elections???? It's unAmerican to rob them of their votes...no matter the ostensible excuse to revamp registration and voting procedures.

No one has been able to explain to me why young men...... and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
On Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will post it on their wall, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .."
Now, what are you going to do about it? Read and delete, or work for reform? Share on the wall of EVERY congressman, representative, governor, the white house!!!!! Pass it around!!! Make calls, send fax's and email's...............

As a lifelong, educated, Democrat I can appreciate the factual content of Current TV. I like TYT show because it's interactive while on the air. What troubles me, however, is Al Gore was part of the problem (by association) when Clinton repealed Glass Steagall - creating the fiscal problems we have today. Having voted the ticket for the past thirty years I've come to realize neither party represents my best interest. The divisiveness of the red team/blue team mentality is destroying the fabric of our country. Keith Olbermann's delivery is as caustic as Glenn Beck's. To Olbermann's credit he speaks fact whereas Beck use to bark emotional insanity.
Current come to grips that the Democratic party is the lesser of two evils - nothing more. The campaign rhetoric "Hope & Change" never arrived. Be skeptical when Obama resurrects Clinton's old war chants to bide another term. We need politicians who view public service as paroled community service. After the two/four year term you're looking for the door - because you left nothing on the table while serving our community/country. Instead we keep rehashing rich people who view politic titles as the ultimate trophies.

What is with all the out of touch communities and ignoring our old people. Many can't keep up with modern times and need help to learn how to use technology and available knowledge, given a hand to be comfortable. Unfortunately with all the wrong doing, many have become too gullible and believe that others didn't really cheat, lie and bribe or that you can't ever stop that. There are so many people who were never elected yet have so much influence with so little scrutiny. There are so many words that paint pictures of problems that don't really exist, while meanwhile the problems we see with our own eyes are ignored. It's ridiculous. Imagine how badly a mess of our Earth is being made by us, while we haven't even seen the worse yet. These guys don't even understand the environment, let alone the internet and changing social dynamic where people actually contribute their time to products and achievements that are free. I also see the knowledge many of our elders learnt over a lifetime disappearing without us stopping to record it.
Now they may threaten to delete all our work on MegaUpload that we made and shared with others around the world. Let's not lose the knowledge of our elderly though. Some people developed some excellent tools and designs and shared them. They also try and get us to listen to their advice. Much of it is ignored though.
Mankind would of got nowhere if no one ever cooperated, the tribes would of all been eaten if they stood alone. It's time we stood up to behaviour that only benefits the selfish, took care of common interests and helped out the less fortunate. It's also time people stopped feeling hopeless and realised their actions can have significant outcomes. Let's start asking how we are going to achieve the sharing and preservation of our knowledge and work together? How we are going to help our planet back to a state of balance and stop abusing it?

Why companies such as Monsanto and DOW Chemical curry so much favor with this government when they have done nothing but toxify this planet. They are the companies buying policy and politicians in this country among many others over the health of our citizens. Surely someone who has firsthand experience being part of them and supporting them (DOW Chemical) in polluting the water of Michigan with DIOXIN and dismissing their other crimes (Agent Orange/Vietnam and Bhopal) should be able to answer the question regarding how corporations buy politicians who care more for their own ambitions than the people hurt by them.
You can't say you support the 99% if you support the 1% poisoning them.

How can we force honesty to be a requirement in politics and media, not just an option?
We do not 'really' hold politicians and media accountable when they lie. They lie in plain sight and people just move along, as though it's not wrong. Honesty is no longer a requirement. MSM does not challenge dishonesty, leading ordinary American's to think the 'truth' could go either way. Facts and opinion are spun as equal. That's dishonest. We deserve better than that.

Does the Republican party have any answers to the home mortgage problem in Florida? Is seems that they don't.
It is easy for the party out of party to complain about The Great Recession (campaigning is easier than governing), but why should Americans trust them to do any better than the Obama administration and Democrats if they don't present any positive solutions?
So how about saying that "the Republicans are the party of no answers".
