Time To Change The Course Of U.S. History
It is time for the American people to take back their nation from irresponsible and lackluster special interest-motivated elected officials. Impeaching top members of the Bush administration may be in order.
The majority of Americans should be unhappy with our nation

Courting Dubya
Courting Dubya Our Supreme Court is broken, and the splint we need would be equivalent to the Lilliputians building one for Lemuel Gulliver. In a span of less than one week, the Supremes went from bitch-slapping King George XLIII, his successor wannabe Doddering John, and the entirety of fanatical Right-wing chickenhawks by restoring the basic American right to habeas corpus, then opening the floodgates of handgun proliferation across our cities.

Thank Your Mayor Today
Thank Your Mayor Today
The United States has some pretty awesome mayors.
The 1,100 mayors in the U.S. Conference of Mayors should be especially commended.
And we mean all of them.
Meeting in Miami, Fla. last Monday, the USCM assembly adopted a resolution supporting the extension of Medicare health care coverage to all Americans.
It passed not by just a few votes; it passed unanimously!

Because mayors understand the true costs of health care better than most elected officials, according to Dr. David Prensky, a retired dentist from Palm Beach, Fla.
“[Mayors] are closer to the grassroots, where their communities and constituents are suffering. Meanwhile, their city budgets are being shattered by health costs for their own employees,” said Prensky.
Specifically, the mayors support the “United States National Health Insurance Act” (H.R. 676), also known as the “Improved and Expanded Medicare for All Act,” sponsored by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan and 90 other members of Congress.

Checking The Tag May Be The Patriotic Act Of All One of our competitors has closed its doors. Not surprising news during this economic downturn, certainly, but definitely sad news and a sign of the times. What bothers us at American Joe most is that the company sold American-made apparel, as do we. So the influx of foreign-made goods has once again struck at the heart of our great nation and the American worker. Let
