For too long, Hollywood and the Entertainment Industry has been self centered with the big stars receiving the big money while the writers who have families of their own receive the crumbs from the tables of Hollywood Executives, Stars, and those of the upper echelon in Hollywood and the US Entertainment Industry.

While it is understandable that the actions taken by the Writer’s Guild of America may affect television shows, Broadway Plays, and even late night comedy; the Writers have a right to strike in order to receive their fair share of the salary in Hollywood. While most people are asleep, it takes a writer in Hollywood and the US Entertainment time to think of a concept, write it down on paper or on a computer screen only to have the star, the producer, or the director change his or her mind a thousand times before reaching a “perfection” that will never exist.

After all is said and done, the elite in the US Entertainment Industry is never grateful to the writer. The Credits as well as the High Salaries go to the Stars and Directors. The One Liners belong to the Comedian or the Politicians instead of the writers. Even Ellen De Generes could not do any jokes because of the Writer’s Strike. Maybe she refused to support the strike. Maybe she is dependent on her writers.

Eva Longoria [even though her role in Desperate Housewife is a disgrace] was able to show her inner as well as outer beauty when she distributed pizza to the strikers. Eva Longoria is very intelligent as well. She is aware that without the writers, Desperate Housewives would be off the air, and she would have to find another job modeling.

Jay Leno and David Letterman have threatened to take action against those who are in the strike [or at least that has been rumoured]. Both shows have had to broadcast pre recorded programmes of the past secondary to the strike.

Whatever happens, I SUPPORT THE STRIKE BY THE WRITER’S GUILD OF AMERICA SINCE THEIR WRITERS ARE MY FAMILY. AS A WRITER, MY FELLOW WRITERS HAVE MY SUPPORT, MY THOUGHTS, AND PRAYERS.

FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY:
Libertarian Party Criticizes Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007

Says bill limits the rights of private business owners

Quick Quotes:
Shane Cory, Executive Director, Libertarian Party
• "Private businesses should have the freedom to decide who is best for the job--not the government."
• "It is not the role of the government to dictate to private businesses who they can and can't hire. This is the whole purpose of keeping government out of the private sector."
• "It's quite hypocritical of the government to tell private businesses not to discriminate while maintaining 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military."

Washington, D.C. – The Libertarian Party criticized the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007, which passed the House last week by a vote of 235 to 184, saying the bill violates the rights of private businesses. The bill seeks to prohibit discriminatory hiring practices by private businesses based on sexuality. "Private businesses should have the freedom to decide who is best for the job--not the government," says Libertarian Party Executive Director Shane Cory.

The Act, marked H.R. 3685 and sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank [D-MA], passed the House last Wednesday and may see floor action this week in the Senate. The bill would exempt religious institutions and the U.S. military; however, religious retail stores were not included in the exemption.

"It is not the role of the government to dictate to private businesses who they can and can't hire," says Cory. "This is the whole purpose of keeping government out of the private sector. A business owner knows what people are best for the job, and he should have the power to hire them. The government should not be there to tell him otherwise. If this Act passes, are we going to have Christian book stores forced to hire a homosexual employee despite a potential ideological conflict?"

The Libertarian Party platform opposes all intervention by government into the area of economics that doesn't seek to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes or provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected.

"There is going to be a fundamental disconnect between what the government says and does regarding the treatment of individuals if this Act passes with the military exemption intact," Cory concluded. "It's quite hypocritical of the government to tell private businesses not to discriminate while maintaining 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military."

The Libertarian Party is America's third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties.

The Football Fans Website MyFootballClub has agreed to pay 700,000 Pound Sterlings with members paying 35 Pound Sterling each. They will decide the future of Ebbsfleet United.

As a football fan, Roberto welcomes the idea of a football supporter website owning a football club. Some may have talked about the feasibility of such an experiment but it is a great idea.

Scarborough Athletic has a trust based on their supporters and it is hoped that one day supporters of Manchester United could use the Phoenix Fund to recover what was taken away from them by Glazer and company.

More power to football fans and clubs such as Scarborough Athletic and Ebbsfleet United.

En Inglaterra, la pagina cibernetica de los fanaticos del futbol MyFootballClub adquirieron el equipo de Ebbsfleet United pagando 700,000 Libras Esterlinas. Cada miembro de este sitio cibernetico deberia pagar 35 Libra Esterlinas para consolidar la compra.

Considero esto una noticia historica y alentador para los fanaticos de futbol que quieren adquirir un club de futbol. Si es un exito, podemos hablar de otros equipos como Scarborough Athletic y/o incluso Manchester United adquirido por los fanaticos.

Mucha suerte y tienen mi apoyo los integrantes de Ebbsfleet United, Scarborough Athletic, Manchester United [Mediante el Fondo Ave Fenix], y los fanaticos de futbol.

On Thursday, November 8th, supporters of Lt. Watada rejoiced to learn of the preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle to halt any further court martial proceedings of Lt. Ehren Watada until the conclusion of the habeas corpus proceedings.
The court held that Lt. Watada is likely to succeed at demonstrating that the military judge acted 'irrationally, irresponsibly, precipitately' and abused his 'discretion,' that the judge failed to consider feasible alternatives to a mistrial and there was no good reason for having stopped the trial in February, 2007.
Incredibly, the Army has announced its intent to file briefs in U.S. District Court to try to prevent the injunction from becoming permanent.

Friends and Family of Lt. Watada encourage Watada supporters everywhere to organize vigils on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month until Lt. Watada is discharged from the Army.
LET'S MAKE THE NOVEMBER 17TH VIGIL ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AND SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE -- IT'S TIME FOR THE ARMY TO DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST LT. WATADA, AND IT'S TIME FOR MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ORGANIZATIONS & PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION TO SPEAK OUT:
• No 2nd court martial for Lt. Watada!
• Drop all charges against Lt. Watada!
• Release Lt. Watada and grant him an honorable discharge!

The season of Thanksgiving is the optimum time for us to express appreciation and stand tall with Lt. Ehren Watada. He remains the single military officer to very publicly oppose the war. Lt. Watada stated his reasons clearly and each day exhibits great courage in his lonely military environment.
