As countries observe the first International Day of Democracy today, it is fitting to take stock of a multilateral movement that began eight years ago as a voluntary, values-based commitment: the Community of Democracies. Led by Portugal, foreign ministers of all participating and observing countries within the Community of Democracies will meet in New York next week, on the margins of the U.N. General Assembly, to chart the way forward. Recent events in Georgia are a stark reminder of the need for countries to come together when democracy, independence and sovereignty are under threat. The international community has reaffirmed its support for the democratically elected Georgian government.
WASHINGTON - One person, one vote, one time doesn't make a country democratic. If the Muslim Brotherhood wins the election promised for later this year, one election may be all Egyptians ever see.
WASHINGTON - An aide to President Bush has resigned because of his alleged misuse of grant money from the U.S. Agency for International Development when he worked for a Cuban democracy organization. Felipe Sixto was promoted on March 1 as a special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and stepped forward on March 20 to reveal his alleged wrongdoing and to resign, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said on Friday. He said Sixto took that step after learning that his former employer, the Center for a Free Cuba, was prepared to initiate legal action.
When the government announced two years ago that it wanted to serve a rotating one-year term as chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2009, there were grounds to think that President Nursultan Nazarbayev was ready to carry out his promises to democratize this Central Asian republic the size of Western Europe. After all, he was known as the shrewdest of the post-Soviet leaders, a man of peace who had earned U.S. plaudits for encouraging the removal of Soviet nuclear weapons from his country and founded an international organization designed to foster religious tolerance - a hallmark of his rule over a country that is half Russian Orthodox, half Sunni Muslim.
BEIRUT | Tens of thousands of protesters shouting "We want freedom!" made a bold march on the Syrian capital of Damascus on Friday, but security forces beat them back with tear gas and batons as the country's monthlong uprising swelled to the largest and most widespread gatherings yet, witnesses and activists said. More than 200 people have been killed in the government crackdown in the past four weeks, according to Syria's main pro-democracy group. There were no reports of live ammunition fired directly at protesters Friday.

Unless you attend the monthly art open house at the Kingsbury Castle (affectionately named by WVTF staffers), then you're probably unaware of the growing contention between station management and members of the Plowshare Peace and Justice Center. The organization has been protesting outside WVTF's South Roanoke studios for three years, valiantly trying to get the program "Democracy Now!" on the air for a trial run on either WVTF or Radio IQ. The group claims "Democracy Now!" offers a different point of view, promotes free speech and provides coverage of topics that are not normally given a platform.
A Time Warner lobbyist affiliated with a corporate-backed conservative group helped provide free tickets to a Cincinnati Reds game that 22 Republican Ohio lawmakers accepted but did not disclose to the public. These legislators and their staff accepted 47 tickets to watch a April 29, 2011, game from Great American Ball Park's "party deck." The tickets were worth $75 each, and Time Warner lobbyist Ed Kozelek helped distribute the tickets and decided who got how many, according to public records published recently by the Center for Media and Democracy, a left-leaning advocacy group.
t's one thing to be Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, reading cue cards and getting laughs by skewering the day's newsmakers, but continually writing songs that satirize politics -- and being required to memorize and perform them on short notice -- is another thing altogether. The Capitol Steps, a singing group started by former U.S. Senate staffers, has been making fun of things since 1981. "We put the MOCK in Democracy," the group's website proclaims. The Steps come to the Lensic Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
