Viggo Mortensen Explains Why We Must Demand Accountability
Fri, 02/08/2008 - 22:33 — nadia
One of the worst things I think that has happened in the last thirty years
is president Ford pardoning President Nixon
because those same people that were working for Nixon
that was a signal to them that yeah you can commit big crimes
and you can get away with it and they you can go right back to work some years later
and that's what happened.
It's not only a bad message to the rest of the world
It's a terrible message to those people who are ill inclined in our own country
because it will keep happening again and again.
There are people in this administration now
not the ole grizzled greedy hacks leftover from Nixon's time
but younger versions of them that are in there now.
It's like teaching a kid the wrong thing.
It is like saying "yeah it's alright
You can lie, you can steal, you can cheat, you can kill"
It's okay. If you do it really big, it's really okay and you can get rich doing it.
It's just a bad thing all the way around.
That's the thing I feel the strongest about
Impeach, remove, Jail
Buy Viggo's shirt
$9 for the long-sleeve and $8 for the short-sleeve.

Draft Viggo For Congress!!
Viggo has shown that he knows what's going down in the country... and it's time for America to face the facts:
The career politicians in DC are sellouts at best, willful fascists at worst- none of them are upholding their oath of office.
How long do we wait for the cowardly politicians to act? They have proven too weak and/or complicit to stand up to the bush/cheney mob.
Contact Viggo and ask him to run for office. Help the Peace Candidates take back Congress For the People.

Right on, Viggo!
Right on, Viggo!
Viggo is so cool. We need
Viggo is so cool. We need more like him, especially at a time when Hollywood films are going downhill and taking our society with them...
"American actor VIGGO MORTENSEN has hit out at film stars who sign up to big budget Hollywood projects solely for the pay cheque - insisting he's far too focused on his art to worry about his salary.
Eastern Promises star Mortensen is adamant he will never make a film just to fund a luxurious lifestyle, because he prefers working on films that challenge him as an actor - regardless of the budget.
He tells Empire magazine, "Certainly I could have made some more money if I'd done what you're talking about, but I mean, how much money does a person need? "I can help my family; I can give money to certain organisations; I can travel on my own. I don't need more than I have. I've been really fortunate."
I'm not American, but I can
I'm not American, but I can understand that things in that country are bad. We here in Australia had the guts to pull our heads out of our butts, & elect a new Prime Minister, so why don't you fellows follow suit, & if that means getting rid of all the people standing for office then electing all new people then yeah, elect Viggo, as he has studied politics in college, so he knows what is what. I'd vote for him if I could.
we need help- our heads are
we need help- our heads are stuck.
How about Sean Penn to boot?
How about Sean Penn to boot? Would these guys sacrifice their careers for a couple years to put us back in line with the people's needs? thanks for the video, it was inspiring.

Excerpt from EXCLUSIVE! Pelosi & AIPAC Put The Squeeze On KUCINICH! from North Jersey Impeach Group:
Before the Nevada primary, [Presidential candidate] Dennis [Kucinich] was visited by representatives of Nancy Pelosi and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — AIPAC. They told Dennis that if he would drop his campaigns to impeach Cheney and Bush, they would guarantee his re-election to the House of Representatives.
Kucinich threw them out of his office.
Dennis now faces the toughest election campaign of his entire tenure in congress, with huge amounts of money being spent to turn his constituents against him due to “his neglect of his district while he ran for president.”
So yes, Virginia, it is exactly as you suspected. This man the mainstream media say is not relevant, poses such a threat to the powers that be that they are hellbent to destroy him, and remove that troublemaker from congress.
It’s up to us, all who understand the crucial voice of Dennis Kucinich speaking up for justice and working to stop our country’s fall into fascist barbarity, to come forward to help him continue the peoples’ work. There’s no better time than right now, so go to CONTRIBUTE TO DENNIS KUCINICH. Help Dennis now. Help him TODAY.

I haven't seen Eastern
I haven't seen Eastern Promises yet, but if you can see Cronenberg's film starring Mortensen, A History of Violence. It's the anti-Hollywood film of the decade. Marriage is portrayed as sexually fulfilling, small town life as better than Big-City anonymity, and the family as worth defending with violence.
The industry which gave us Cabaret and American Pie must have hated it. Mortensen, like Mel Gibson, is on OUR side.
