Delightful New "Medicare For All" Video And Fax Action Page, "I'm A Democrat, And I'm A Republican"
A couple weeks ago the Democratic Senate Committee put out a video called "I'm A Democrat, And I'm A Republican", begging us for more campaign contributions based on the premise that even 60 votes in their caucus is not enough to pass a decent bill. So we decided to produce a series of our own issue advocacy satire videos, to propagate the truth that NEITHER the Democrats NOR the Republicans want real health care reform.

Obama's New, Improved Leech Therapy
(6 comments) In last Wednesday's speech, President Obama sounded reasonable and compassionate and articulate. But look at what he actually did, and the effect it will actually will have: Obama has clearly aligned himself with the preservation of insurance profits, and in so doing he has destroyed any possibility of a functional health care system.

Obama's New "Improved" Leech Therapy
The sheer sappiness, even from progressives, of most of the commentary we've heard in the aftermath of President Obama's address to Congress this week on health care is truly breathtaking. Now we are going to tell you what really happened last Wednesday night.

Except That We WON'T Shut Up About Single Payer Health Care, No Matter What Senator 'More Police' Baucus Says
(6 comments) Friends, there are rare moments of clarity when we the people can see through the veil of illusion designed to condition us into docile inaction. There was such a moment this week, when Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, laughingly joked "we need more police", when one qualified doctor and lawyer after another stood up to protest their exclusion from the debate on health care.

The Senate LAUGHS About How Many Police It Takes To Silence The American People On Single Payer Health Care
(15 comments) How many police does it take to silence the voice of the people? That's a question a despot might ask in a totalitarian police state. But this week the Senate Finance Committee thought it was a hilarious joke as they ejected one brave activist after another, for protesting that not even one spokesperson for single payer health care was being allowed to sit at the hearing table.

Bush Special Prosecutor is Top Question for Obama
(18 comments) For the second time now, President-Elect Obama has asked the American people, to come to his web site at Change.gov to ask and vote for questions, to help set the priorities for his administration, and the current the top-ranked question seeks a non-partisan Special Prosecutor to investigate the crimes of the Bush Administration.

Impeach Bush Before He Pardons Himself
(12 comments) According to Seymour Hersh there is a conga line of insiders waiting until January 20th to spill the beans on the gross criminality of the Bush/Cheney administration. Waiting . . . because if they did it now the two of them would be tarred and feathered on the way out the door. And in case you had not figured it out yet, Bush is planning on pardoning himself, unless he is stopped first by impeachment.

Shirley Golub, who is seriously challenging Nancy Pelosi for the Democratic party primary nomination on June 3, is sponsoring the production of a new impeachment passion play, "I" - The Impeachment Trial of George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney, cowritten by premier impeachment scholar Bruce Fein, dramatist Richard A. Lasser and this writer. This article includes a link to the full final script.

The THIRD Option (Systematic Primary Challenges)
(3 comments) What is it going to take for the majority of the American People to get the attention of Congress? In this piece we will propose the simple, necessary, and what should have been self-evident, answer to this question . . . there is one and only one message that members of Congress will ever actually heed, that their own seats are in jeopardy.

So They're Fond of Condemnations Are They? Let's Condemn the Entire Republican Leadership
(3 comments) Once in a rare while a member of Congress will speak the plain truth without equivocation. This week Pete Stark stood up to accuse the president of the United States of having no conscience about the deaths of the thousands of valiant troops he sent on a criminal war mission, while at the same time stealing the medicines out of the mouths of babes.

Now Read The Truth: Lieberman-Kyl DEFANGED Because of YOU
(5 comments) It has taken a couple days for the actual disposition of the Lieberman-Kyl amendment to leak out, but in FACT, the two most offensive paragraphs (3 and 4), which we were objecting to so strenuously as amounting to a declaration of war on Iran, were REMOVED IN THEIR ENTIRELY prior to the vote. Which means we WON.

Can We IMPEACH With Facebook® Alone?
(12 comments) As we look for opportunities to reach out to our fellow citizens with calls to action, we cannot help but notice that the fastest growing networked community on the internet is the Facebook web site. In large part this is because they have opened up their platform to member created applications, which in practical use makes their entire base of about 30 million participants accessible to the activism of each other.

The True THREAT Of Ann Coulter And Her Ilk
(10 comments) Time and again Ann Coulter has demonstrated that she is an offensive speech scofflaw, and on that basis we call for a BAN on her appearance on national television. To the networks we say, "You know she is going to say something grossly offensive when you book her." And she rightly deserves to be shunned for that reason.

Now You Can Text "IMPEACH" to 30644 To Vote To Impeach Cheney
What we are asking concerned citizens to do next is start calling the various progressive radio shows and let them know that people can vote in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll. There is no reason why everyone in the country can't know how easy it is to call for our Constitution to be enforced.

A Libby Leniency Letter Received From SATAN
(1 comments) The judge contemplating sentencing in the "Scooter" Libby case took the unusual step of ordering the letters pleading for leniency on his behalf to be published. But conspicuously missing was a letter from the Vice President himself, Dick Cheney. And then lo and behold, we were leaked a copy of one additional letter that had not been published with the rest . . .

Cheney SECRETLY Schemes To Start Iran War By Himself
We are in greater danger of the strategic debacle in the Middle East spinning even more wildly out of control every day that Congress does not confront the monstrous malignancy in the office of the vice president in particular.Vote yes, or else vote no. Nearly 60,000 have already.It could save all of our lives.It could save YOUR life...

Who Will Take Cindy Sheehan's Place As SPOKESPERSON?
(3 comments) To answer the question of who will take Cindy Sheehan's place as spokesperson, first we must ask who CAN take her place. What one person can do all the work of making policy change happen in America? The short answer is that NO one person flying solo can do that. Because democracy can only happen when each of us speaks for OURSELVES.

Harry, Nancy, SAY It Ain't So!
(13 comments) We are hearing reports that the Democrats are preparing to unilaterally surrender to Bush on the Iraq supplemental, despite a solid majority of the American people in favor of at least some kind of restraints on a war president run amok. If this is a trial balloon, or in part even a Republican trick to try to demoralize us, it didn't work. We're not demoralized, we're just angry.

99.34 Percent Say Cheney Should Be IMPEACHED. What Say You?
(4 comments) Please note that we are not asking people in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll whether people think he will be impeached,we are asking if he SHOULD be impeached.Everyone already knows that Cheney is guilty of every impeachable offense imaginable. Our only hurdle is to get people to actually admit it to themselves,to do their own duty,to save our democracy from its greatest threat ever...

If The Millstone (GONZALES) Were Around The Other Neck
For an administration in which utter smirking defiance of law and the will of the American people is the only operational mode, IMPEACHMENT is the only remedy. If the millstone were around the other neck, every right wing cable news pod person would be screaming for impeachment, not only for Gonzales, but for the whole lying, stealing, preemptive war murdering lot of them.

Slam Dunk Was Code For A CON JOB
(7 comments) In his appearance on Meet The Press yesterday, George Tenet AGAIN confirmed that the purpose of the now infamous "slam dunk" meeting was to assess if they could SELL the war without just cause in Iraq to the American public. So, what Tenet MEANT by the words "slam dunk" was they were sure they would be able to stuff their cooked intelligence down our throats.

Mission IMPEACHABLE (The Cheney episode)
(2 comments) Good morning fellow citizens. Vice president Richard B. Cheney is known to have committed high crimes against the Constitution of the United States. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to speak out yourself in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll, which already has over 27,000 submissions, and to rally everyone else you can to do the same thing.

There's HUNGER For Impeachment. Will We Feed It?
(6 comments) With a million submissions we can force the hand of Congress to take a stand, to do their Constitutional duty, and to demand accountability from an administration that has brought nothing but death, destruction and financial ruin to our country.

Moderator Hurls Mostly SPIT Balls In First Democratic Presidential Candidate Debate
(3 comments) After listening to the questions asked by Brian Williams in South Carolina at the first debate of announced Democratic presidential contenders, one has to wonder how much worse the moderation would have been if it had been on the Fox Network.

The Fox (Gonzales) Promises To Investigate HEN Disappearances
If Gonzales has not resigned by the time you read this, please contact your members of Congress and push them to speak out, to tell Gonzales it's time to go. And if the testimony of the Attorney General clinging to power before the Senate Judiciary Committee was not enough of a comedy sketch, we offer the following:

Domestic Peace Is Bad For The GUN Business
(2 comments) Having more guns in this country in the hands of people who can't handle them doesn't make us more safe. It makes us all LESS safe. The overriding federal problem is that as long as there are loose jurisdictions from state to state, city to city, guns will be oversold where the laws are weak, to make mayhem there, and bring it to everywhere else.

On HATE Speech And Freedom Of Speech
(7 comments) There have been a rash of incidents lately getting national attention, involving people like Ann Coulter, Michael Richards, and now Don Imus. And what makes them especially notable is 1) the fact that people are finally starting to call out those who in traffic in hate speech, 2) the amount of discussion the most recent incident has triggered, and 3) the persistence of talk as to what should be done about it.

Who Has The COURAGE To Press For An End To The Iraq Occupation Now?
(2 comments) With possibly one exception, the rest of our would be presidents of the United States would be hard pressed to put together a functional backbone of an Iraq policy. Instead of triangulating speeches, posturing and jockeying for position, they should be bravely stepping forward without equivocation to call for an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq. Who of them will speak out, even as we ourselves need to keep speaking out?

Let Your Phone Calls Be A Show Of FORCE Against Attacking Iran
Don't let anyone ever tell us again our voices are not heard. Today the Senate REJECTED an attempt to strip the Iraq withdrawal time line from the current supplemental, just as you called for them to do. Before Congress takes a spring recess, there is one more urgent call we must make, to tell the Senate to pass an amendment being offered by new Senator James Webb to head off a NEW war with Iran.

Be The PARTICIPATORY Democracy That Brings Our Troops Home
Now as debate on the Iraq war/occupation shifts to the Senate the difference between how many votes we can get to support a proposed 120 day start for withdrawal, or not, is how many of us will pick up the phone right now. We know that Bush is going to make a least one statement a week, to try to bully us all in the other direction. Why should we all not do the same thing?

Tell Congress To Put Ending The War BACK On The Table
(2 comments) Usually when we contact our members of Congress our great challenge is to get policy hostile Republicans to understand that even in THEIR districts we have enough people opposing them to threaten their reelection. But we certainly expect our OWN representatives to listen to us. This may in fact be the ONLY meaningful chance we will have in the next two years to keep from inheriting the military policy disaster in Iraq.

Tell Congress To Support The Kucinich IMPERATIVE For Impeachment
(3 comments) Minutes ago the U.S. Senate AGAIN failed to exercise meaningful oversight for the national suicide which is our policy in Iraq. Members of Congress must stop running away from actually restraining the abuse of executive power. And the only remedy is for us to renew again and again our call for Congress to impeach at the most mercifully swift speed ALL those who have so grievously harmed we the people.

The Creeping Right Wing Radio PUTSCH
(1 comments) Now that progressive talk is having real political impact the right wing is desperately looking for a way to slow it down, corrupt it, chip away at it, anything. And yesterday in Los Angeles they canned the Harrison on the Edge show, one of the best progressive activists we had, with absolutely no advance warning whatsoever.

Mr. and Mrs. America buy a new car, and it's NOT an Augmentation
Tonight's alert is a little different, in the form of an humorous and entertaining (hopefully) story. Is it us or are the Bush/Cheney gang starting to sound a little too much like the wrong kind of car salesmen? You decide.

ARREST Bush's Escalation In Iraq With Your Voices
A couple days ago we called for preemptive resolutions to oppose the unpopular Bush escalation proposed for Iraq. There are now at least two measures pending to do just that. We must raise every possible voice to call for support of the S. 233 and H. Res 41 right now.

The All New And Improved Staying The Course, Now With More LIES
There are resolutions possibly pending to demand redeployment of the troops or to cut off funding for the war. We would support any of them. The problem is Bush will laugh off any attempt by Congress to tell him how to run HIS war. Therefore we propose strategically that there FIRST be a resolution opposing an increase in troops in Iraq, to draw a line in the sand with maximum support for finally CONFRONTING him.

Say NO To Bush's Last Stand
(6 comments) Before the coming of George Bush and his shadow president Dick Cheney, the greatest military blunder in American History was thought to be Custer's Last Stand. The primary difference between him and what Bush has done is that Custer did not wreck the ENTIRE U.S. Army, Custer did not mortgage our whole economy for generations to come, and unlike Bush, he actually had the courage to enter mortal combat himself even one time.

Take Their Troop Surge In Iraq And SHOVE IT
(2 comments) The Bush administration has now coined a new slogan for "stay the course," in utter and diffident defiance of the will of American people. They are trying to sell us on yet one more "surge" in Iraq. And it would be a surge alright, but only in casualities, cost and insurgency.

The President's IGNORING Tour
When our founders drafted our Constitution, the thing they feared most was that a despot would arise to arrogate dictatorial power, which is why they made repeated references to the procedure of impeachment as the ultimate check and balance. And what Bush and Cheney have given us if a textbook example of what they strove so mightily to ensure against as our heritage.

The SECRET Plan To Stay In Iraq
The Iraq Study Group will make no meaningful difference whatsoever in really bringing the troops home. To the contary, they are about to ask for ANOTHER 100 billion dollars!! Only cutting off the money will force their hand.

A Proposal for Election REFORM by Coordinated State Ballot Initiatives
We propose opening up a collateral front by putting together as many state ballot initiative campaigns as possible where laws can be passed directly on to the books. What we have in mind are two separate propositions in each such state, with the idea that there is synergy in collecting signatures for two related initiatives at the same time.

Tell Our Congress To Rescind Bush's War Starting Powers
(9 comments) It's time to terminate the Authorization for Use of Military Force to at least keep the Bush administration from expanding the disaster they have visited on the Middle East and ourselves.

Make John Murtha Majority LEADER
(2 comments) John Murtha demonstrated his leadership in calling for our troops to redeploy out of Iraq a time when many others were just going along with the Bush administration's stay the atrocities policy. Please call and email your Democratic House members and ask them to support him as majority leader for that singular reason.

Tell The Safe Seventy Democrats To HELP Their Fellow Democratic Candidates

Tell Democratic Incumbents To Support Their OWN Party Candidates Who Want To Stop The War
Now is the time for all current Democratic INCUMBENTS, most of whom can practically coast through this election, to lend a hand to the courageous NON-incumbents they will need to add to their caucus to build the new progressive majority. We have already raised over $50,000. Ask your Democratic members of Congress in safe districts to to help pull up their future congressional colleagues by their bootstraps.

Help Organize The EARLY VOTE Movement To Protect Our Registrations
The best insurance we have against the various voter disenfranchisement schemes that we KNOW are in the works is to organize NOW to early vote in the most massive possible way. In doing so we can shine a light like a laser beam on looming problem areas and move proactively to correct them. Here is an action page to help alert your friend to organize to EARLY vote and to report registration purging and other problems.

Wake Up And Smell The Democratic Voter PURGE
(1 comments) You had to know this was coming. The further they fall in the polls the more massive the voter fraud and preemptive vote suppression the other side will attempt. The fighting back starts NOW! Here is a special action page to send messages to the DNC and the Ohio state Democratic party to immediately join in a lawsuit to reverse the pathological purge of Democratic voters wherever we can determine it is occurring.

Jean Hay Bright To Run CONTROVERSIAL Lie/Die TV Spot in Maine
We heard just today that Jean Hay Bright, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, was doing a Time Warner buy for her version of the Lie/Die TV spot which is aleady starting to create such a controversy. In just the last two weeks, almost $50,000 has been donated to help run these spots for the candidates on the Peace Team.

There They Go Again, Planning An Attack On Iran, Unless We Speak Out Now
The drum beats are getting louder that the Bush administration in fact intends to launch an unprovoked carpet bomb attack on the sovereign nation of Iran. The best way stop them is to remind the American people about all the lies that misled us into Iraq. This special page will play one of the new Lie/Die TV spots on this subject.

UNTIL WE STAND UP TO IMPEACH BUSH WE WILL NEVER REGAIN POWER

DEMAND Hastert's Immediate Resignation
(1 comments) In response to his indefensible handling of a known child predator in their midst, Dennis Hastert whined today that liberals were out to "get to me". Isn't that just so precious? Little Denny Hastert is now the REAL victim in all of this, not the children exposed to the abuse of Mark Foley because of Hastert's own complicity. Hastert has got to go.

CONFRONT Bush To WIN
There is one thing we know. The politics of avoiding a confrontation for fear of being smeared is NOT the path to victory. This we know, that the only way to win back those of other parties who are also angry at being misled is by demonstrating the courage of our own leadership.

PREEMPT The Insanity Of Attacking Iran
(7 comments) As the general election approaches, we hear more and more speculation about what the "October Surprise" will be THIS time. One thing we now is that the Bush administration is determined to attack Iran, whether on false pretenses or not. We must have a sense of Congress resolution that there be NO attack on Iran without EXPRESS congressional approval.

MORE DEM CANDIDATES STAND UP TO CONFRONT THE BUSH IRAQ LIES

The Dog Ate Bush's WAR CRIMES Defense
The War Crimes Act must not be changed in any respect. To do otherwise is to tell the world we have laws at all only at the convenience of our dictator executive. For the same reason, neither can we change the laws for prosecuting our detainees.

Filing F.E.C. Complaints Against ABC/Disney Made EASY
The perverse obstinance of ABC/Disney in plowing ahead with their political hit piece on the Democratic party, "The Path to 9/11", will likely not only subject them to defamation suits from Bill Clinton himself, and from his cabinet officials that they smeared, they deserve to be prosecuted by the Federal Election Commission for campaign finance law violations. And if enough of us raise our voices, we can make it happen.

FEAR OF BOTTLED WATER
So now we've been stampeded by every media outlet into being petrified of our own cosmetic creams and liquid refreshments. But anyone even remotely interested in investigating the readily accessible truth (apparently nobody in the mainstream corporate media) could have easily determined that there is NO SUCH THING as a liquid explosive as the plot was described.

SAVE The Majority Report on Air America Radio
It can fairly be said that NO progressive radio personality in the last couple years has done more to promote real activism than Sam Seder. He has given out more congressional phone numbers, more action page links, and has given air time to more worthy progressive candidates than two or three others we might name combined. Now we need to speak in support of him.

The Israeli Air War On Air Conditioning

TODAY, WE ARE ALL WAR CRIMINALS
(5 comments) If you have NOT ALREADY called your members of Congress to demand they stand up for a cease-fire in Lebanon, the war crimes against humanity being committed there are yours as well. Will you speak out or will you not? And if you do not, YOU are personally guilty of every war crime committed by Israel with the encouragement of the U.S. Congress.

COULD I INTEREST YOU IN A NEW WORLD WAR?
(2 comments) George Bush lost his shirt (and ours) in his WMD-less Iraq gamble, and is driven to double down and bet the farm with an even bigger war to try to win it all back. At the same time, Islamic militants buoyed by the chaos they have created in Iraq and our entanglement there, believe the more war crimes they can get Bush to commit, the more power they will be able to seize themselves.

TWO TIMING JOE
If there is one quality that the American people find despicable in a politician, it is someone who tries to have it both ways. If Lieberman would simply to declare his intention to run as an independent that would be one thing. But he has NOT. What he is doing instead is running for the Democratic nomination, while at the same time declaring he reserves the right to disrespect the voters' decision.

Democrats for Democrats . . . not Losers who Run as Independents
(1 comments) We, the voters of the Democratic Party and our Party itself, must oppose Joe Lieberman, if he runs as an Independent. Even the consideration of such an act is an insult to every real Democrat.
