Notes from the Editor
Tony Zecca
It is my pleasure and honor to edit these pages and offer them to you. I hope you take special consideration to the collection of articles presented. The content of these articles represent something for everyone who has a vested interest in the preservation of democracy. Each article contains, what I feel, are the core challenges facing Americans with the current administration. They contain facts, dates, and bullets useful to anyone arguing in the discourse of current politics. The recovery of this nation makes it imperative that Democrats have their facts straight, their values aligned and their corporate memory solvent.
It's s great day for the Eichmanns of corporate America. President Bush minutes ago signed the ill named 'tort reform' bill into law, limiting class action suits. Doubtless, Ken Lay, former Enron CEO, is grinning, as are the corporate suite killers at drug maker Merck who are now safer from the widows and orphans of Vioxx victims. Closing the doors of justice to the ruined and wrecked families of boardroom bad guys is nothing less than executive clemency for executive executioners.
