WATCH AND READ
WATCH why impeachment is best for the country and the constitution HERE.
WATCH how the media bought into the Bush administration's lies for war HERE.
READ The Washington Post's four-part series on Dick Cheney HERE.
STOP EXECUTIVE OVERREACH
You've probably seen the news that President Bush let Scooter Libby, the one man who was convicted for the lies around the Iraq war, go free.
The obstruction of justice doesn't stop there. The Senate recently subpoenaed documents from the Vice President's office around the illegal wiretapping program and so far he has not complied. It's clear this administration thinks it's above the law.
That's un-American, and it's time for Congress to re-assert its constitutional authority and hold this administration accountable.
Stop the Bush administration's obstruction of justice and sign the petition to Congress.
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.
Sign the petition HERE.
URGENT ACTION ALERTS
FROM THE ACLU
Demand NSA Oversight
The Bush administration has run roughshod over our rights and the rule of law. With the help of phone and internet companies, the NSA has monitored phones and email without a warrant. It's time to bring this to an end HERE.
Fix the Military Commissions Act
Urge your senator to co-sponsor of the a bill being introduced by Senator Dodd to fix the problems with the Military Commissions Act and keep America both Safe and Free HERE.
Tell Congress to End Human Rights Abuses
Please urge your members of Congress to stop the federal government from engaging in torture and abuse and reaffirm our country's commitment to human rights HERE.
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
This is the biggest health care moment in 40 years....
We need to fix our broken health care system and ensure quality, affordable health care for every man, woman, and child in America. Let's start with our children.
There are 9 million uninsured children in America. They have no access to regular checkups, their parents struggle to afford doctors' visits when they are sick, and they often go without care.
Sign a petition with your individual comment to be presented to your Senators and Representative HERE.
