One of the most remarkable things that's happened to me in two decades of journalism took me by surprise this week. A government agency, the governor's office no less, sent me a box of material overnight about a matter of personnel. The box was full of a ream of papers, e-mails -- many of them personal -- and documents concerning the firing of Scott Eckersley. They sent me two letters that described the firing of Eckersley, the former deputy counsel for Gov. Matt Blunt. Then they wrote me another letter describing even more reasons why Eckersley was fired. They questioned his sexuality and every element of his character they could think of. They called him a liar. They said he was a bad lawyer. It was truly a remarkable occurrence. Even more remarkable was the fact that while sending a box to me -- I was the only reporter I know of who had actually made an official inquiry to the state on this matter -- they also sent similar boxes to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Kansas City Star and The Associated Press. That's more than remarkable. It might have never happened in Missouri government history. But there's more. (1 comment, 1125 words in story) Full Story By Press, Section Events

This is critical and time sensitive for urgent action by all members and friends.
To Members & Friends of the Peace Network of the Ozarks, As most of you know, PNO is apolitical as far as candidates are concerned, or tries to be because we trust our members and friends to vote their conscience in the peace effort, including the secondary issues according to their own opinions and needs. Maybe that will change somewhat over time, but we aren't prepared to offer endorsements or play favorites at the current time, and especially before the primaries have been completed. There is, however, an urgent action by one of the presidential candidates that we MUST pay attention to in the critical need for peace and justice in our country. Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has unequivocally stated he will be using his personal privilege as a Congressman to place IMPEACHMENT on the table of the House of Representatives this morning, Tuesday, November 6. Our action is time sensitive. Below is a written kit that explains what we should do if we want to support impeachment. Please read it carefully, and take the action needed. There is only a couple of calls to make. This is not something we do very often. There are so many requests for calls and letters and actions, and after awhile they all seem to get cluttered in our minds and we get tired of the same old thing from so many sources. This one, however, is very important. The entire Congress is watching this action to see what kind of support Congressman Kucinich gets from grass roots, and if we are to practice what we preach we should follow through with the strongest support we can make to the subject. Please make the calls as soon as you can. This is so critical to our country. Without justice, it is impossible to have peace. Thanks to all. See below.
