"Our military policy and our energy policy have become intertwined. They have become one and the same. ... And if we continue to rely on military force to solve our resource needs, we're in for a very bloody and dangerous and painful century indeed."-- Michael T. Klare, in "Blood and Oil"

2008 PRE-ELECTION FUNDRAISING APPEAL

SUPPORT BETWEEN THE LINES RADIO NEWSMAGAZINE'S "FOCUS ON ISSUES THAT MATTER"
And arm yourself with your choice of these thank you gifts:

The Issues that Matter: The Economy. Inflation and Debt. Energy Prices and Mortgage Lending. Religious Extremism. The Iraq War, Energy Policies and America's Expanding Empire. The Healthcare Crisis. How can you make a difference?

A participatory democracy must function with well-informed citizens. Yet, the corporate media narrowly focuses on inconsequential and distracting topics such as "horse-race" reporting of who's ahead and who's not. Or that Barack Obama doesn't wear a flag lapel pin. Or that John McCain may have had an affair before his 1980 divorce.

This election season, Between the Lines is featuring in-depth analysis of the issues that directly affect most voters, issues which receive little serious attention in the corporate media -- the same media that were unquestioning cheerleaders for George W. Bush's Iraq war.

Between The Lines consistently works to bring our audience voices of dissent that reject the status quo on issues such as:

• Oil company profiteering
• Investigating the accepted claim that the "Iraq War Surge is Working"
• Single-payer universal health care as a solution to America's failing health care system
• The urgent need to re-regulate the mortgage and finance industries
• Challenging U.S. support for Israel's continued occupation of Palestinian territory
• Exposing the war crimes committed by U.S. operatives in the torture and secret detention of individuals not charged with any crime and without access to attorneys
• Opposition to warrantless wiretaps in violation of the U.S. Constitution
• Assessing the neo-conservative blueprint to trigger a new cold war with Russia

Your donation will help support expanded distribution of Between The Lines and other important programming to encourage an informed citizenry, essential for a true democracy.

Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Dependency on Foreign Petroleum: $40 Video DVD

Video DVD: "Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Dependency on Foreign Petroleum " Click here to see larger image Michael Klare, one of the world's most renowned experts on energy and security issues, unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years - rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. "Blood and Oil" calls for a radical re-thinking of U.S. energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.
