When It Comes to War: Congress is the Decider America is in trouble when its citizens can only hope and pray that its President doesn't start another war before he leaves office. That is not how the government of the United States is supposed to work.

The March on the Pentagon Join a group. Get active. Get informed and stay informed. Speak up and make a difference. Instead of 50,000 protestors marching in Washington--let's make 50 million calls to Congress, demanding an end to Mr. Bush's senseless war. It is up to us to make a difference.

The Bush Administration Avoids Peace (Again) The Bush Administration is not interested in peace with Iran--any more than they wanted peace with Iraq. The neoconservative masterminds in the Bush Administration have marked Iran for regime change, and the plan is moving forward. It is up to Congress to stop them.

...And by the way, It was about Oil Do you believe Iraqi oil is worth sacrificing 3103 Americans (and counting), wasting hundreds of billions of dollars (and counting), and over-extending our military and to the point that it endangers our national security? I don't think so. We do not need Iraq's oil. Even if we did, does that give us the right to steal it?

George W. Bush: Poster Boy for Impeachment The impeachment of George W. Bush and his co-conspirators is a matter of principle that Congress can no longer ignore. The United States of America was founded on principles. Our adherence to the rule of law and our respect for human rights were what set us apart from other nations of the world--up until now. If there was ever a President who needed to be impeached, it is George W. Bush.

It Is Time to Rebel Against King George The American people did their part in the 2006 election. They voted against the Bush Republicans, the Bush Wars, and the "unitary Presidency". Now it is up to the new Congress to let this President know that he is not a King. He is a public servant--the head of one co-equal branch of government--bound to obey the Constitution, our international treaties, and the laws of our land.

What Are You Waiting For, Democrats? The time for talk is over. Bush has turned a deaf ear to the voice of the American people, dismissed the recommendations of the Baker /Hamilton Commission; and is now ignoring the advice of our military leaders. George W. Bush is not going stop the war and bring the troops home. Congress is going to have to stop it for him, and prevent him from starting another one.

Our Number One Priority After six years of King George and the Rubberstamp Republicans, there are many things begging for the attention of the new Democratically-controlled Congress; but their number one priority must be bringing the troops home. Every day that passes means a couple more dead Americans. Help bring our troops home!

On to Victory! The Republicans have tried to close the door on democracy, but We the People have managed to stick our toe in the door. Now we have to push the door open and take back our rightful place in our government (The Boss). If we let the Democrats and the lobbyists continue to conduct the people's business behind closed doors, we will be no better off than before.

It is Time to Make a Real Change This election is not about taking power from the Republicans and giving it to the Democrats. If that is all we do, we will just be exchanging the organized corruption of the Republican Party for the disorganized corruption of the Democratic Party. This election has to be about returning power to where it rightfully belongs--We The People.

Vote to End Bush's War Bush's decision to invade Iraq was not a mistake. It was a deliberate, premeditated attack on a third-world nation, designed to create "political capital" for George W. Bush. The decision to go to war may have been wrong and stupid and illegal; but it was not a mistake. The mistake is staying there any longer--sacrificing more American lives and squandering America's military capabilities.

War or Peace? If America is ever going to see another day of peace, we are going to have to vote the Republicans out of Congress. Otherwise, you may as well prepare yourself for perpetual war.

Republicans Found Guilty of Domestic Abuse Congressional Republicans do not represent the majority of Americans; in fact, they don't even represent the majority of Republicans in America. Instead, they represent the interests of the Bush Administration, the wealthy, and whatever lobbyist offers the best vacation package. This becomes obvious when you examine their priorities.

Fear! Fear! Fear! Fear is not a new tactic, but it is a tried-and-true tactic. "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it."--General Douglas MacArthur

Let the Hearings Begin George W. Bush may not be on the November 7th ballot, but this may be the most important election of his life. Americans, by a 3 to 1 margin, want the Democratic Party to regain control of Congress; and unless the Republicans manage to pull off another miraculous vote count, that could mean big trouble for the Liar-in-Chief.

One Last Chance Republican strategists know that even though they have used every illegal, under-handed, dirty trick-in-the-book to suppress the Democratic votes; they still don't have enough die-hard Republicans, Dittoheads, and people willing to vote against their own interests to win an election. That is why they have also taken control of every aspect of our electoral process.

The Man Who Would Be King When the President of the United States decides to break the law and instructs various agencies under his control to break the law-it matters. Congress must confront President Bush and force him to obey our laws, or impeach him. Until then, the U.S. Constitution is meaningless and an outlaw is ruling America.

The Big Waste Nobody knows how much the war in Iraq will eventually cost; but any way you add it up, it is a waste. All the war has meant to Americans is 2,529 dead soldiers and Marines (6/29/06), an over-extended military, higher gas prices, and an enormous debt to pass on to our children and grandchildren.

Now is the Time to Stand Up for America After 230 years as a nation, the Founding Father's worst fears are coming true, while too many Americans sit silent as our nation goes down the drain of history.

Give Peace a Chance The Founding Fathers fought a war to free our nation from British rule. Once that was accomplished, it was their desire to live in peace with the other nations of the world. They left little doubt that the United States should do its best to live in peace with all nations:
