STOP the casino economy
INVEST in the real economy

Members of Congress are on the campaign trail. Now is the time to tell them you want strict regulation of Wall Street.
No More Casino Economy--like the totally unregulated $60 TRILLION in "credit default swaps."
Tell them you want your tax dollars to fund a Public Reconstruction and Development Bank to invest in:
- a solar/wind/energy-efficient future to stop the climate melt down
- our municipal water/sewer infrastructure to ensure safe, affordable drinking water for everyone

Alliance For Democracy Congratulates
Maude Barlow
On her appointment as Senior Advisor on Water
to the President of the United Nations
We see great hope in this appointment and in President d'Escoto's words in his Inaugural Address to the 63rd General Assembly:
"Water is not a
commodity to be bought and sold on the open market. Those who seek to
derive economic advantage, even from the worst of human tragedies, are
pursuing the privatization of water, thereby denying peoples a human
right as basic as the air we breathe.
Video of Maude Barlow speaking on "Blue Covenant" to Canadian audience
