"I think that what's happening here is that people who do Hollywood work don't often get a chance to do something they believe in, so when they see an opportunity to do something they care about, they go all out," Zinn, who lives in Newton, told us yesterday. "Viggo, from the beginning, had said, 'I'm going to fit this in, I just don't know how.' "

The actors, who'll read selections of "A People's History" and its companion book "Voices of a People's History of the United States," will be recorded Jan. 8-9 in front of an audience at Boston's Cutler Majestic Theatre. Produced by Zinn and Chris Moore of "Project Greenlight," the four one-hour programs will focus on struggles in US history: Women, war, class, and race, and include archival footage, photos, and supplementary interviews.

Project Greenlight's Chris Moore will executive produce a miniseries and feature-length documentary based on historian-author Howard Zinn's 1980 book "A People's History of the United States."

Titled "The People Speak," the project will feature music and readings based on America's struggles with war, class, race and the rights of women. Matt Damon, Marisa Tomei, Viggo Mortensen and Josh Brolin will provide performances for the project that will interweave archival footage, photographs and interviews, with Eddie Vedder and John Legend lending their musical talents. Danny Glover, David Strathairn and Kerry Washington also are set to appear.

-Follow the lies, follow the money.

-Dick Cheney and George Bush have life-long records of lying and cheating, and have, as nominal heads of the United States government since 2001, continuously misled by their mendacious and treasonous examples. Their shameful, knowing misrepresentation of a supposed nuclear military threat from Iran, despite knowing long ago what recent intelligence reports have made public to the contrary, is just the latest example of their base and cowardly comportment.

-Dennis Kucinich is the only presidential candidate to have steadfastly called Cheney and Bush on their criminal and immoral conduct from the start of their illegitimate reigns.

-How much more information do you need to Impeach, Remove, and Jail them and their cohorts past and present since 2001?

-Torture, including" waterboarding", is illegal and immoral.
-Impeachment and legal proceedings against Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, Ashcroft, Gonzalez, Tennent (to name a few) for treason and war crimes (for starters), are your legal and moral duty at this crucial moment in the history of the United States of America
