Kerry Speaking on Energy Independence and the Environment.
Live blogging from Faneuil Hall in Boston, speech starting soon. I'm putting a discussion thread up now, and will update as connectivity permits. (Weak signal, old building!)

The speech will be about achieving energy independence, and combating global climate change.

3. I guess Kerry and Gore will have to keep repeating it till Corpmedia makes
note of their plans and policies.

Both of them have been addressing the issue SERIOUSLY for 3 decades now - and the media is STILL loathe to catch up to the SUBSTANCE of what they have been proposing all these years.

No wonder that Gore went to the lengths he did to make a THEATER FILM to get people's attention. The newsmedia wouldn't do their job in this area.

5. it rains (or heats up) on both the good and wicked... As John wrote...
Money can't buy you love... Someday pretty soon it won't buy air-conditioning either, for ANYONE. Then, who will media blame, Clinton?

8. But the wicked have enough money to shield themselves
cuz they stole it from everyone else.

That's why they don't give a damn.

18. Teresa is here - Sen. Kerry speaking now.
"Cheney-run secret taks forces by and for big oil companies..."

"How disgusting and insulting to be told that we can solve this problem by drilling in the Arctic Wildlife..."

21. Laughter here:
“Americans know the truth. Americans are not addicted to oil – Washington is addicted to ail, because that’s the way the powers that be. want it to be.

Washington’s energy policy is as real as their claims of ‘Mission Accomplished’ in Iraq.”

23. He's on fire! My connection, however, is tepid. More:
"Bush 41 can be proud that he was a President Bush who signed into law bills to help us reduce pollution.

The story since then is not just a disappointment -- it is a flagrant, dangerous, arrogant disavowal of science at the behest of the powerful. It is a damning story of irresponsibility and private profiteering. Those who have encouraged, facilitated and aquiesced it will go down in modern history as modern day robber barons who sold out our future genrations for their own selfish gain. We need to use this November to throw the robber barons and their cronies out of the Congress and put the peoples' interests back in."
