Volume VIII - Issue #69 - March 2007
If the 110th Congress manages to find the cojones to do their sworn duty, our criminal President and Vice President and their mob of fascist freedom-haters can be sent packing – either to prison or to exile – before the summer of 2007 begins.
After regime change, America can get to work fixing the damage done by the Bush administration.
1) VIOLATING THE OATH OF OFFICE: Abject failure to ‘uphold and defend the Constitution’; promotion & assumption of Unitary Executive (dictator) privileges; 800-plus signing statements; cancellation of habeas corpus & posse comitatus laws and other Constitutional provisions; illegal wiretapping, which began before September 11.
2) TREASON: Intentionally revealing the identity of the covert C.I.A. operation Brewster Jennings, and its chief agent, Valerie Plame Wilson – resulting in the deaths of foreign agents, and in the end of C.I.A. data-gathering on W.M.D. in the Middle East.
3) WAR PROFITEERING, which Harry Truman said is treason.
4) INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES: Invading a sovereign nation; blatant violations of the Geneva Convention; torture and murder of prisoners.
5) U.S. WAR CRIMES: Torture of innocent civilians; perpetual imprisonment of civilians at Guantanamo; rendering to ‘black site’ facilities; mistreatment of veterans and active military; abuse of National Guard and Reserve and active duty military personnel (placed in harm’s way without adequate training or equipment, redeployed without proper rest).
6) BANKRUPTING THE COUNTRY
7) BEARING FALSE WITNESS: Formal and public falsification of information given to Congress and to the American people; a string of cover-ups, and then cover-ups of the cover-ups.
8) ELECTION FRAUD, including targeted voter disenfranchisement.
9) THE KATRINA DISASTER
10) STACKING THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM: Using un-Constitutional provisions of the Patriot Act to appoint federal judges and U.S. attorneys without the ‘advice and consent’ of Congress.
11) DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT: Denial of the facts of global warming; muzzling of scientists; sell-off of natural resources; reversal of environmental protection laws; closing of the E.P.A. library; appointment of industry executives to oversight bodies.
12) George W. Bush is an embarrassment to his species.
REGISTER TO VOTE: Any citizen who does not vote should be ashamed. Get friends & family to register.
CALL POLITICIANS: The official Capitol Switchboard phone number is 202/224-3121. Demand impeachment.
Find out the names of your elected officials at either www.senate.gov or www.house.gov. Then call the 800 numbers of The Million Phone March – 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 – and they will transfer you to the office of each Senator and your Congressman. Demand impeachment.
GET INFORMED / STAY INFORMED: If Air America Radio is available in your area, listen keenly; if not available, then listen on the internet.
SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER: When neighbors & co-workers bring up crap like ‘American Idol’ or the weather, change the subject to some reality-based topic, per the list above, and-or provide them with new information from progressive news sources.
