23. Portland Mayor - Jim Francesconi (JimFrancesconiforMayor.com)
    Provides Web page for the candidate for Mayor of Portland.
    
    Editor's Note: Some of the information on this site is misleading. For example, Mr. Francesconi states on his Web site that he "Created Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN)..." A history of the SUN programs on the SUN site, however, states: "The decision for the City of Portland and Multnomah County to partner together to support schools happened in 1998 under the leadership of former Multnomah County Chair Beverly Stein, City Commissioner Jim Francesconi and then County Commissioner Diane Linn."
    
    In the online Voter's Pamphlet, Mr. Francesconi claims that he "started a community based youth-to-work coalition that placed 700 gang-involved youth in jobs with 250 Portland employers." His television ads also make the claim. Unfortunately, Portland does not have a youth-to-work coalition that placed 700 gang-involved youth in jobs. 5-04

41. U.N. Approves US Resolution on Iraq (Bloomberg.com)
    "The United Nations Security Council voted 15-0 to adopt a U.S. resolution demanding that Iraq agree to unrestricted arms inspections, ending a two- month debate over how to rid Saddam Hussein's regime of weapons of mass destruction." "It gives the council a chance to assess the seriousness of any Iraqi violation and to consider how to respond, a concession to France and Russia that means the U.S. wouldn't make that decision alone."
    
    "Hussein is unlikely to allow unfettered inspections, increasing the chances for war, British officials said. Forcing Iraq to give inspectors complete access to palaces and government workers would weaken Hussein's grip on power, making it unlikely he will comply, said the officials, who asked not to be identified."
    
    "Under the resolution, Iraq would be required to give the Security Council a full report of its biological, chemical and nuclear weapons programs 30 days from today. Full inspections, including access to presidential sites suspected of producing weapons of mass destruction, would begin no more than 15 days later and Blix would file a progress report 60 days after that."
    
    "Any Iraqi interference is to be reported to the Security Council, which would 'convene immediately.' ''

42. Fueling War - Oil and Iraq (MSNBC News)
    "Behind the debate over Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, its fraternization with terrorist groups and defiance of the United Nations is a fact that colors every decision about war and peace in the Persian Gulf: Iraq sits atop the world’s second largest reserve of oil. How is that affecting American policy toward Iraq? Are France and Russia protecting Saddam Hussein to ensure their access to oil? Who stands to gain most from a post-Saddam world?" 1-03

43. Fueling War - Oil and Iraq (TargetOil.com from Washington Post - Morgan and Ottaway)
    "A U.S.-led ouster of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein could open a bonanza for American oil companies long banished from Iraq, scuttling oil deals between Baghdad and Russia, France and other countries, and reshuffling world petroleum markets, according to industry officials and leaders of the Iraqi opposition."
    
    "The importance of Iraq's oil has made it potentially one of the administration's biggest bargaining chips in negotiations to win backing from the U.N. Security Council and Western allies for President Bush's call for tough international action against Hussein." 2-03

     "A bed net, treated to kill and repel malarial mosquitoes, costs less than $10."
    
    "The United States spent $1.7 billion on global health, education and population programs in 2001, according to rough calculations based on figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. France was the second-biggest spender, with $1.1 billion in aid, followed by Germany at $1 billion and Japan at nearly $800 million." 9-03

49. Lewis and Clark Expedition - A History (LewisandClark.org)
    "On February 28, 1803, the Congress appropriated funds for a small U.S. Army unit to explore the Missouri and Columbia rivers and tell the western Indian tribes that traders would soon come to buy their furs. The explorers were to make a detailed report on western geography, climate, plants and animals, and to study the customs and languages of the Indians. Plans for the expedition were almost complete when the President learned that France offered to sell all of Louisiana Territory to the United States. This transfer, which was completed within a year, doubled the area of the United States. It meant that Jefferson's Army expedition could travel all the way to the crest of the Rockies on American soil, no longer needing permission from the former French owners."
    
    Editor's Note: It could be argued that the French never bought the land and really did not have the moral authority to sell it. The Indigenous people who had been on the land for centuries never sold the land to the French and were still there. What the Americans bought was the agreement for the French to provide no military resistance to Americans as the Americans took the land from the Indigenous people. 01-07
