Published: March 9, 2008 OIL REVENUE FROM IRAQI OIL ENDS UP IN NON-IRAQI BANKS (for the last 5 years) Two senior members of the Senate Armed Services Committee have requested a full accounting of how Iraq is spending its soaring oil revenue..., The request, sent Friday to David M. Walker, the top official at the United States Government Accountability Office, estimates that Iraqi oil revenue could skyrocket above $56 billion in 2008, largely because of the rising price of oil.... As a result, the letter from the Armed Services Committee says, "we believe that it has been overwhelmingly U.S. taxpayer money that has funded Iraq reconstruction over the last five years, despite Iraq earning billions of dollars in oil revenue over that time period that have ended up in non-Iraqi banks (for the last 5 years)." An exposé of Iraq profiteers ~click here to read full story~ We should never forget. We should never allow this to ever happen again. The Legacy of President George W. Bush. "I'm absolutely positive history will be kind to this president, who made the right decisions in a difficult time for this nation." - Bush Strategist Karl Rove "A legacy is not what has happened in the past. It is what is handed down to the future. By now, most Americans agree that President Bush’s two terms in office have been a profound failure. For months, Bush’s approval ratings have hovered below 30 percent -- while approximately 70% of the American people disapprove of the job he’s doing in Washington. What the polls don’t tell us is that in truth, the failures of the last eight years cannot be chalked up to one man – and that means they won’t necessarily be turned around when he leaves office. The war in Iraq, the floundering economy, the tragedy that befell New Orleans, were the failures of conservative ideology. And they were the failures of every one in Congress who cheerleaded for and happily rubber-stamped the President’s conservative agenda. The purpose of the Bush Legacy is not to gloat about all that has gone wrong over the past eight years, but to ensure that the legacy of President George W. Bush can be used to ensure that the next eight are drastically different. We cannot let President Bush and John McCain's version of the past eight years go down in history as the truth – and we cannot allow the conservative agenda to continue to fail the American people. The conservative leadership in Washington, DC:

Congratulations!!! to Norwalk Democratic legislators Bob Duff (State Senator, 25th) Bruce Morris (State Rep. 140th) and Chris Perone (State Rep. 137th) for their relentless efforts and hard work on behalf of the People of Norwalk. Republican Mayor Moccia continues on a path of partisanship and against the best interests of Norwalk's citizens. Mayor Moccia turned his back on city homeowners and taxpayers when he supported Republican Gov. Jodi Rell's prior VETO to the statewide schools system bonding package. Detrimental Results of Gov. Rell's VETO. Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich and other municipalities welcomed the bond package passed by the Democratic majority. But the lack of a bond package interrupted the flow of state grants for school construction since summer. The fiscal year began July 1, but it was late September before the General Assembly's Democratic majority passed a $4.6 billion borrowing plan. (delay was due to continued opposition by Gov. Rell and Republican legislators) Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell vetoed it (bond bill) in early October, saying it was too expensive. To make amends for the long delay, the General Assembly and Rell estimated how much municipalities lost in interest payments and pledged to provide compensation. The result was adding $2 million to the final package. Some towns were forced to seek "expensive short-term loans" to keep projects moving forward while the bond bill was in limbo. Dick Moccia, "Politics More Important Than Public Service?" Norwalk Republican Mayor Dick Moccia on Mayoral Endorsement before the Fairfield County Building Trades. "Two years ago it was a surprise, Moccia said. This time, I really am overwhelmed by you coming here and advocating my candidacy. The office of the mayor is important to me, but your support and your friendship … is more important, and I appreciate that," Moccia added. Republican Councilman Douglas Hempstead: Republican Solution? Take the funds from the School system. »»» Committee member Douglas Hempstead, a Republican, said "the city could dip into Finance Director Thomas Hamilton's recommended operating budget for the Board of Education to fund a new position in the Department of Public Works to attack the flooding." COMMENT: Mayor Moccia, »»» When people are suffering you take immediate action and make it your priority or, Could it be that your administration and other Republicans have already forgotten the Republican fiasco of KATRINA?
