Here are excerpts from Diane Farrell remarks which will be broadcasted tomorrow following Presdident Bush's weekly radio address.
"Our troops deserve from their leaders in Washington, nothing short of a commitment equal to the dedication the troops bring to their duty every day. Instead they get a flat denial of the horrible reality. That is why we need a new direction in Iraq .
"Democrats will change the course in Iraq and we will focus our efforts on defeating the terrorists with policies that are both tough and strategic.
"Democrats will do what Congress has failed to do - hold the president accountable. We will ask the tough questions and demand solutions that do right by our troops."
"When families here in Connecticut ask me about the billion dollars we spend every week in Iraq , I can’t help but share their dismay. In fact, when my cousin was deployed to Iraq , I wrote him a check so he could buy better body armor. Families are doing everything they can to protect their loved ones because our government isn't."
Changing direction in Iraq starts with changing the people we send to Washington ."
You can hear Farrell deliever the address tomorrow on major radio networks, including ABC, AP, AURN, CBS, CNN, C-SPAN, NPR, American Forces Radio, Voice of America , BBC, CBC, and Australian Broadcasting Corporation

06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
