But Dennett said she is not a single-issue candidate, adding that she is also interested in issues surrounding the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon and its proposal to extend its operating license beyond 2012.

Vincent Bugliosi, the legendary criminal prosecutor and bestselling author of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, appeared in Burlington with Charlotte on Thursday, September 17 at Burlington City Hall. The two attorneys announced their intention to commence legal proceedings against George W. Bush in the event that Dennett succeeds in her bid to become the next Attorney General of Vermont.

Charlotte is also a Harper Collins author, and the co-chair of the Book Division of the National Writers Union. Most recently, she published an essay, “The War on Terror and the Great Game for Oil: How the Media Missed the Con- text,” in the paperback edition of Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Ex- pose the Myth of a Free Press, which has won the National Press Club Award for Press Criticism and received the “Best Book in Current Affairs” award by the Association of Independent Book Publishers.

He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of Ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, the Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work; analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case; crashed saucers, flying saucer technology and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort to Investigate) cultists.

Stanton Friedman takes a clear-cut unambiguous stand that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft, that the subject of flying saucers represents a Cosmic Watergate, that none of the anti-UFO arguments made by a variety of noisy negativists stand up to careful scrutiny, and that we are dealing with the biggest story of the past millennium: visits to Planet Earth by alien spacecraft and the successful coverup by governments of the best data: alien wreckage and bodies recovered in New Mexico, for 59 years. He has spent many weeks at a total of 20 document archives. Stan has successfully taken on many critics of flying saucers, Roswell, Majestic 12, including winning a debate at Oxford University.

Stanton’s latest book is “FLYING SAUCERS & SCIENCE” June 2008. Covers all Aspects of 50 years of Research by STF, Large studies, Star Travel, SETI, Sci-Fi & UFO’s, Press Coverage, Polls, Cover-up, Updates on Roswell & MJ-12, and much more. Forewords by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Astronaut; Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Physicist.

About Secretary Henry Paulson’s Bailout Plan:

Baker pointed out on Democracy Now! the current bailout can punish those responsible rather than rewarding them. It can also be done without creating new dictatorial powers for the executive branch of our government.

Congress must reject Paulson’s Plunder and enact a plan with these progressive principles from the Backbone Campaign:

A. The people who caused the problem or profited most should pay for it

1. Highly compensated executives total compensation should be capped or taxed heavily as a condition for being bailed out.

2. Tobin tax on all transactions in Finance, Insurance and Real Estate including currency transactions.

3. Government takes an equity stake, proportionate to the size of the bailout

4. Tax hedge fund managers’ income

5. Accountability – fire executives of failed companies as done in the UK, and abrogate their severance packages.

6. Impose a five-year, 10 percent surtax on income over $1 million a year for couples and over $500,000 for single taxpayers.

B. Re-regulate to prevent this from happening again

1. Direct the Federal Reserve to intervene to prevent asset bubbles.

2. Extend reserve requirements to new security categories

3. Regulate the packaging of loans so they can be evaluated, rated, and priced rationally.

4. Regulate hedge funds and private equity funds in a way comparable to banks

C. Include Main Street in the bailout and invest in a new productive economy

1. Establish a moratorium on foreclosures, renegotiating mortgages or institute a rent-to-own plan to keep people in homes.

2. Create a major economic recovery package which puts Americans to work at decent wages, in productive jobs that add value to homes and communities.

3. Invest the taxes on speculation, executive compensation, and the surtax on the wealthy in clean energy, infrastructure, education, and health care.

Spence first gained national recognition when he received a $10,500,000 verdict against Kerr-McGee in the Karen Silkwood case on behalf of her children. Later he earned such verdicts as $26,535,000 against Penthouse for Miss Wyoming and successfully defended Ed Cantrell in the famous Rock Springs, Wyoming murder case. Spence received a $52,000,000 verdict against McDonald’s Corporation, the fast-food chain, on behalf of a small, bankrupt, family-owned ice cream company for McDonald’s breach of an oral contract. A Utah medical malpractice verdict of over $4,000,000 established a new standard for nursing care in that state. In 1990 he won acquittal for Imelda Marcos on multiple charges after a three and one-half month trial in New York City. In 1992, he received a record-breaking $15,000,000 verdict for emotional damages incurred by his quadriplegic client because a major insurance company refused to pay the $50,000 policy more than twenty years earlier. Two weeks later he added $18,500,000 in punitive damages to the award. In 1993, Spence successfully defended Randy Weaver on murder, assault, conspiracy, and gun charges in the famous Idaho federal standoff case.

• Half-Moon and Empty Stars, his first novel, telling the story of twin brothers, half Arapaho, half white, set in a small Wyoming town (Scribner 2001); and

• Seven Simple Steps to Personal Freedom, is a powerfully affirming, large-hearted, and life-changing book that asks us all to take the greatest risk for the greatest reward—our own freedom (St. Martin’s Press 2001).

• The Smoking Gun, a riveting true account of a trial that adeptly exposes the unrelenting power of the state, which so often crushes those—guilty or innocent—who come before the bar of justice (Scribner 2003).

• Win Your Case, Spence shares a lifetime of experience teaching you how to win in any arena—the courtroom, the boardroom, the sales call, the salary review, the town council meeting—every venue where a case is to be made against adversaries who oppose the justice you seek (St. Martin’s Press 2005).

From June 1995 through September 1996, Spence teamed with television network CNBC to create The Gerry Spence Show, which aired live for a half an hour every Friday night. The show discussed legal and social issues that affected the lives of the people of our country.

For many years Spence has lectured at law schools and conducted seminars at various legal organizations around the country.

On Nadir’s new album, Workin’ For The Man, revolutionary socio-political commentary collides with explosive funk and hip hop. Nadir describes the album as a “political dance record” designed to make you dance and think at the same time.

Witnesses can catch Nadir skanking funk guitar on tour in the U.S., Canada or Europe, or rocking an acoustic in front of the White House demanding that George Bush step down. His funk-rock jam band, Distorted Soul, rips through Nadir’s diverse originals, then fires off hard rocking versions of soul classics like “Love TKO” or reincarnates rock anthems like “Life in the Fast Lane” as dance floor friendly funk burners.

Topping it all off is his current stint with MTV as the Choose or Lose 2008 correspondent to the state of Michigan, which lasts until the presidential election in November. (Catch his reports at www.think.mtv.com/Nadir/)

“When you get right down to it,” Nadir explains, “I’m all about telling stories, singing songs and making music that moves people – spiritually, emotionally, physically, politically, whatever. Don’t just sit there! Do something!”

This Southern-bred singer-songwriter and his stalwart band play with an aplomb that could raise the corpses of Marley and Hendrix. No $h!t To label them simply neo-soul would be downright reductive.” Metro Times, Detroit”

NADIR has received several recent awards for his work including:

- Seven Detroit Music Awards: Three in a row (2005-2007) for Outstanding Urban/Funk Songwriter; Outstanding Urban/Funk Vocalist (2006 & 2008); Outstanding Urban/Funk/Hip Hop Recording (2005) for Distorted Soul 2.0; Outstanding Electronic Dance Recording (2008) for Slave: The Remixtape

- Distorted Soul 2.0 named Best Funk CD of 2005 by SoulPatrol.com

- A finalist berth in the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest for “Slave”

- He was selected by the editors of Billboard Magazine as a finalist in the 2004 Independent Music World Series

- Listeners at GarageBand.com raved over his song “Slave” voting the track No. 1 Best Male Vocals in Funk, all-time, No. 1 Bitter Breakup Song in Funk, all-time, No. 2 Best Lyrics in Funk, all-time

Distorted Soul 2.0 is a ground-breaking album that has received rave reviews from critics and listeners alike. Chris Rizik of Soultracks.com says “The praise is well deserved, as this is absolutely infectious urban rock, calling to mind the better moments of artists from Ernie Isley to Lenny Kravitz.” Dirk Binsau, publisher of the website Jazz-Not-Jazz.com, believes NADIR “has really developed a sound and style of his own and Distorted Soul 2.0 is very different from what Ive heard in a long time and thats what makes this album special.”

“Its STONE COLD FUNK, it makes you DANCE, it ROCKS your world, its got GREAT LYRICS, it’s got POWERHOUSE SOUL SINGING, it’s got GREAT MUSCIANSHIP, it makes you THINK about the world and it makes you SMILE.” – www.soul-patrol.com-

Slave: The Remixtape features 14 captivating new versions (20 at some digital retailers) of NADIR’s award-winning song by some of the best young producers on the scene. Guaranteed to make you a slave to the dancefloor!

“It’s a fantastic example of what remixers can do when given good material… If you’re into remixes, Nadir’s Slave: The Remixtape is a tour-de-force of remixing.” -Synthtopia-

Nadir’s 2008 album Workin’ For The Man is a high powered political barn burner, packed with revolutionary funk, soul, rock, hip hop and house. Bob Davis of Soul-Patrol.com says, “Imagine if you could listen to an album that sounded like it was James Brown + Gil Scott-Heron + Public Enemy?” And… “This is clearly one of the best new releases of 2008 and something that is truly worthy of your attention at this time.”

“Nadir is a revolutionary artist. Nadir has a revolutionary agenda. Nadir thinks that it is ok to HAVE FUN and THINK. Nadir’s new album Workin’ for the Man makes you do both.”

As the Vietnam War wound down he turned his activism to the Environmental Movement. He joined the Sierra Club and became a founding member of The Cousteau Society. In the 1990s he would discover that globalist control freaks (like Maurice Strong, head of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, who said: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring about?”) had penetrated the environmental movement. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Jerry says, International Communism traded in its worn out red flag, wrapping itself in a new environmentalist green one.

“For proof of this,” Jerry wrote, “one hardly needs look further than the Green Cross International. Its purpose is to pick up where the Rio Earth Summit left off. It was founded in 1993 by Mikhail Gorbachev, a ‘hard line’ Communist and the last Supreme Dictator of the Soviet Union. ‘Gorbie,’ so beloved by the dominant, globalist owned media, said in an address to the United Nations, in December 1988: ‘Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a New World Order.’ What is Gorbie’s New World Order? The Green Cross says its mission is ‘to help create a sustainable future by cultivating harmonious relationships between humans and the environment. Green Cross concentrates its efforts on programs whose common theme is to promote a significant change in human values leading to greater respect and care for Earth’s community of life in all its diversity, and to address the environmental causes and consequences of wars and conflict.” Are you ready to have green-for-red commies change your values? I’m not.” With that, he left the environmental movement.

It was in 1991, or so, that Jerry read Timothy Good’s Above Top Secret and realized that one could not study UFOs to any depth without hitting Conspiracy Theory. UFOlogy is filled with evidence of government lies and cover-ups. At the same time he read a limited circulation underground book on Hitler’s disk-shaped aircraft. One of Jerry’s friends was intrigued with the possibility of building such a craft. Jerry’s attempt to find evidence, and technical specifications, for these craft led to the discovery that, at that time, there did not exist a museum of UFOs anywhere in the world – and he and Jim Keith decided to create one. For almost three years Jerry sank all the money he earned into trying to get the National UFO Museum (NUFOM) off the ground. The project was finally abandoned after Jim and Jerry learned that mainstream UFOlogy, in particular the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), did not take kindly to these strangers invading their turf and had started a whisper campaign against them.

In 1996, a few years after closing the doors on NUFOM, Jerry’s career really took off with the contracts to write A History of Rancharrah for John Harrah and HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy for Ron Bonds at Illuminet Press. Ron had contacted Jim Keith asking Jim to write a book for Illuminet on HAARP, telling him that HAARP was the hottest subject on the Internet at the time. Jim declined, on the grounds that he was backlogged on four book contracts – but Jim put Ron in contact with his friend, Jerry E. Smith. Ron gave Jerry the go-head on the project in February 1996. It took until September to complete the first draft. Ron hated the draft and cancelled the project. Jerry sat on the manuscript for a year before remembering David Hatcher Childress at Adventures Unlimited Press (AUP). AUP had helped NUFOM, providing it with a number of UFO and other “off trail” books. David, it turned out, was looking for a book on HAARP and snapped it up.

Jerry has made over 300 radio and television appearances plus speaking engagements from Brisbane, Australia, to The Bahamas, to Brazil. His bibliography of published works includes scores of articles and reviews, over a dozen ghost-written books, and three non-fiction works from Adventures Unlimited Press. His newest book is “WEATHER WARFARE: The Military’s Plan to Draft Mother Nature.” It is a follow up to his 1998 best seller “HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy.” 2005 saw the release of “SECRETS OF THE HOLY LANCE: The Spear Of Destiny In History & Legend” which was co-authored with George Piccard, who wrote “LIQUID CONSPIRACY: JFK, LSD, the CIA, Area 51, and UFOs.”

Bugliosi has uncommonly attained success in two separate and distinct fields, as an author and a lawyer. His excellence as a trial lawyer is best captured in the judgment of his peers. “Bugliosi is as good a prosecutor as there ever was,” Alan Dershowitz says. F. Lee Bailey calls Bugliosi “the quintessential prosecutor.” “There is only one Vince Bugliosi. He’s the best,” says Robert Tanenbaum, for years the top homicide prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.’s office. Most telling is the comment by Gerry Spence, who squared off against Bugliosi in a twenty-one-hour televised, scriptless “docu-trial” of Lee Harvey Oswald, in which the original key witnesses to the Kennedy assassination testified and were cross-examined. After the Dallas jury returned a guilty verdict in Bugliosi’s favor, Spence said, “No other lawyer in America could have done what Vince did in this case.”

In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world.

As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity.

A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office.

Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.

Following the Watergate debacle, Saint John’s father was sentenced to and served 33 months in Federal prison. Saint’s mother Dorothy was killed in an extremely suspicious airplane “accident”, while carrying a very large amount of cash to be distributed as hush money to co-conspirators and participants.

On the very night of the botched Watergate ‘job’, Saint John was awakened in the middle of the night and at his father’s plea / direction, became an active participant in assisting his father in the disposal of potentially compromising / incriminating evidence from the bungled burglary.

Throughout his youth and into early adulthood, Saint John traveled worldwide, as his father pursued his duties as a covert C.I.A. operative. He was his father’s proud son and trusted confidante.

Hunt’s career as a savvy, sophisticated intellectual, yet tough-as-nails team leader & ‘can do’ covert operative, made him the perfect Hollywood spy “role model” for characters like television’s Mission Impossible team leader “Mister Phelps” and the follow-up film series, featuring Tom Cruise as “Ethan Hunt”, a thinly veiled reference to Everett Howard Hunt.

As the legendary spymaster (now age 88) lay in a Miami hospital bed, dying, his oldest son, Saint John Hunt sat in vigil at his bedside and shared his father’s final days.

As both a loving, compassionate son and an experienced professional care-provider, Saint spent many hours over the course of those final days at his fathers deathbed-side, and has been entrusted with privileged information, documents, audio recordings and other revealing items & explosive evidence regarding the Kennedy assassination.

Saint John Hunt has been interviewed for a feature article on his father’s life in the April 5, 2007 edition of “Rolling Stone” magazine, and also by the Los Angeles Times newspaper.

He has appeared as a guest with both Ian Punnet and George Noory on “Coast-toCoast AM”, with Alex Jones on “Prison Planet”, with CNN’s Glen Beck, and other broadcast, on-line and print media. (See links below.)

Additionally he has recently been interviewed by Jim Moret for television’s “Inside Edition” and is set to appear on an upcoming episode of CBS 60 Minutes.

Saint John Hunt’s new book “Bond of Secrecy” is set for publishing and he has written a screenplay with Eric Hamburg (Screenwriter / Co-Producer with Oliver Stone on the feature film “Nixon”) and is in negotiations for production of a feature film about his father’s career, their life together and the dark secrets of the C.I.A.

In coming forward to discuss his father’s career , their unique intimate personal relationship and their bond of secrecy, Saint John Hunt is hopeful that in revealing the in-depth information and evidence he has, he will help provide the critical missing pieces of the puzzle surrounding the Kennedy Assassination.

It is his deepest desire that these revelations will bring closure and light upon the darkest chapter of our nations history. A darkness continuing to this very day, which imminently threatens our liberties and future as free Americans.

*Project Coordinator, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, 2007.

Gordon is proud to serve his community and country. He looks forward to continuing this history of service in the U.S. House of Representatives.

But the changes that are so urgently needed in our nation, and that are outlined in the platform of this campaign, cannot be accomplished solely through the election of one individual to the U.S. Congress, nor even the election of several individuals who share our vision. These changes can only occur when all those who share this vision of a country and a world renewed come together and utilize all the tools at our disposal to make it happen: as citizens, as neighbors, as activists, as purchasing agents and as members of a larger national and global community. When the people lead, the leaders will follow. To find out what you can do to help make this vision a reality, go to our Take Action page.

Gordon is running as a Green, a party whose principles are fundamentally aligned with what most Americans want and believe we need to get our country back on the right track.
