From: "Nathan Goralnik" <rhizome85-AT-home.com> Subject: Fw: Democratic News - 7/10/01 Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 01:18:50 -0700 Read this, Clifford!! I mean, the Democratic Party just sent me this great mid-year report, and, GOSH this is interesting to me! I don't really care whether it's useful to the rest of the list, because it sure is interesting to me! I'm not going to explain what this has to do with Foucault. That would be so un-Deleuzian of me. I'm not going to even necessarily contend that it has anything to do with Foucault: that would assign a stable meaning to Foucault's text and bleh bleh bleh.... Coming soon, random details about my toilet seat! I'll also post interesting articles about Elian Gonzalez, Madonna, and Britney Spears's breast implants? Fuck you if you're not interested! Nate PS I'm going to stop fighting this war. I don't want to clog your inboxes. I'm sorry. > Welcome to Democratic News!

We have put our "New Day" theme at the DNC into action by significantly increasing our fund-raising and by capturing eight mayoral races and a Congressional seat in just the last five months. The partnership that we have forged has been a substantial contributing factor to our success." > > Read about the good news: > http://www.democrats.org/news/features/feature070601.html > > ****************************** > QUOTE OF THE DAY > > "The amazing thing [is that] we'll have our birthday on the same day again next year." -- George W.

Bush ignored the fact that combined with a slowing economy, his plan was likely to force the government to dip into the Medicare and Social Security trust funds and potentially throw the budget back into deficit, wrote the New York Times in an editorial Saturday. In so doing, "Bush gave up long-term fiscal discipline for short-term political gain, and the salad days of surpluses have transmogrified into the bad old days of budget bickering." > > Learn more: > http://www.democrats.org/news/briefings/br070901.html > > STATEMENT FROM DNC CHAIRMAN TERRY MCAULIFFE AND BRONX DEMOCRATIC LEADER ROBERTO RAMIREZ ON THE CONTINUED BOMBING OF VIEQUES > > McAuliffe and Ramirez: "For 60 years, the residents of Vieques have had to put up with a noisy and destructive neighbor in the form of the United States military, and for 60 years, they have paid the price. We call on George W. Bush today to immediately halt the bombing of Vieques, and not in 2003 when it will be more politically expedient for him." > > Learn more: > http://www.democrats.org/news/releases/rel070901.html > > REP. JOHN DINGELL DELIVERS WEEKLY RADIO RESPONSE ON PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS > > Dingell: "Under our bill, you will have access to emergency rooms and the right to see your gynecologist or oncologist when you deem it appropriate, not when your HMO permits it. You will have the right to select your child's doctor or pediatrician as their primary care physician. You will have access to clinical trials, and to specialty care and prescription drugs if you need them. In short, you will have the rights and protections that have too long been denied by HMOs." > > Learn more: > http://www.democrats.org/news/features/feature070701.html > > > ****************************** > ON THE WEB > > REPUBLICANS DECLARE WAR ON DEMOCRATS > > Trent Lott and the Republican Party have declared "War" on Democrats and vowed they have a moral obligation to fulfill their mandate they claim was given to them by the voters.
