*I * 6 *Y  Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).  This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. 
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Add your name to the list of people telling Congress that this isn't a war that's going to be won with military might, now or six months from now. It's time to change the course and redeploy our troops from Iraq:  http://www.democrats.org/TimeIsUp  President Bush cherry-picked intelligence to make his initial case for war over four years ago. Since then he has stifled dissent and distorted the truth to sell his failing strategy to the rest of us.  The Republicans accuse Democrats of setting arbitrary dates for withdrawal -- but it's the Republicans who set arbitrary dates for delay.  Too many have died and the cost is too steep.  If the transnational oil companies want to abscond with Iraqi oil, let them hire their own troops and stop misusing our military as mercenaries. 
Where do we go from here?   ideas   Activism    Alternatives   UFPJ Portal   Notes:  Michael Dembrow 
Dennis Kucinich  Introduced articles of impeachment against Cheney.  Introduced Medicare for all, a single-payer universal healthcare plan.  He opposed the Oil war in Iraq from the get go, saved Cleveland's public utilities as Mayor... Dennis works to support civil rights, decency, justice, and peace.  And he's running for president..  And elect-able if you vote for him in the primaries!

Call both your Senators' offices using the information below:

Sen. Ron Wyden   Phone: (202) 224-5244    Sen. Gordon Smith    Phone: (202) 224-3753

You can use these talking points during your call:

  • It is critical to restore the right of habeas corpus to people in U.S. custody, some who have been held for more than five years without charge or trial.
  • The right to challenge the fact and conditions of one's detention is a fundamental due process right and critical protection against arbitrary detention and torture.
  • I ask that you vote for the bipartisan amendment S.A. 2022 introduced by Senators Arlen Specter and Patrick Leahy to restore habeas corpus.

If you only have time to say one thing, ask your Senator to vote for the Specter/Leahy amendment to restore habeas corpus (S.A. 2022) amending the Department of Defense Authorization bill.

Security will only come with respect for human rights. The America we believe in leads the world on human rights. Thank you for making the call and leading our nation in the spirit of that vision.

The Time For Accountability is NOW
Dick Cheney's offenses against the nation unquestionably rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors spelled out in our Constitution. Tell Congress -- it's time for impeachment proceedings to begin.

Brave New Films has come out with a short video documenting the charges contained in H. Res. 333. Have a look by clicking below.
Tell Congress: Impeach Dick Cheney

For six long years, Vice President Dick Cheney has subverted long-standing protocols and laws in exercising his power. Recent polls indicate that for the first time, a majority of the American people want to see Cheney impeached -- but until recently, Congress lacked the courage to act.

Now, however, the movement to impeach Cheney is picking up speed. More than a dozen members of the House of Representatives have now signed on as co-sponsors of H. Res. 333, "Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors." The bill is currently in the House Judiciary Committee, but unfortunately won't pass out of that committee until there is broad and overwhelming public support for the bill's goals. That's where we come in.

Ask your representative to sign on as a co-sponsor of H. Res. 333.

Cheney was instrumental in the effort to "out" covert CIA agent Valerie Plame in a cheap act of political retribution against her husband, Joe Wilson, an outspoken Bush critic. He pressured our intelligence agencies, deceived Congress and then misled the nation into invading Iraq based on a false threat of weapons of mass destruction. He continues to imply a link between Iraq and the Sept. 11th hijackers -- even though this claim has been disproved time and time again.

If the checks and balances inherent to our constitutional form of government are to mean anything at all, Congress must take action against an executive branch official who has committed such grave misdeeds. Imagine how much damage Cheney can do if left in office another 18 months.

Does YOUR representative know that you support impeaching Cheney? Click here to send that message.

Urgent Alert!

Tell Your Senators: Vote No Confidence in Gonzales!  Or Impeach him!

Important Vote on Gonzales Monday -- Write to Your Senators
President Bush may be the only one with any confidence that Alberto Gonzales can still perform the job of Attorney General. On Monday, will your senators vote with Bush -- or vote their conscience?

It's hard to imagine how anyone can still have any confidence in this Attorney General's ability to do his job. His credibility is in tatters, his memory is apparently shot too, and at least six Republican senators have publicly called for his resignation.

There's ample reason for Gonzales' resignation or impeachment. We could start with his egregiously partisan behavior in the US Attorneys scandal, and then his lies under oath regarding the matter. Or, we could go with his blatant politicization of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, or his FBI's widespread abuse of PATRIOT act powers to spy on ordinary Americans.
