Conyers Releases Massive New Report on Bush-Cheney Crimes

by reposted Saturday, Aug. 05, 2006 at 9:59 AM

By David Swanson

The minority staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, under the leadership of Congressman John Conyers (D., Mich.) has produced over the past many months a staggering report, just released, which documents the hard evidence of crimes and abuses committed by President Bush and his administration (breaking 26 specific laws). This report, "The Constitution in Crisis," should provide the raw material for numerous news reports and point reporters toward fertile ground for additional investigations.
Please take a look:

Now, Take Action!

1. Ask the media to cover Conyers' report:

2. Ask your Congress Member to sponsor H. Res. 635 to start an investigation.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/635

3. Buy this report as a book. Pre-order, and ask your friends to do so, and get it on the best-seller lists. Buy it here.

At Long Last...

Can you name the one country on earth where the government can steal elections, strip away basic rights, spy on citizens, and launch wars based on lies, but where the people do not take over the nation's capital in protest?

If you said the United States, you'll be wrong on September fifth when Camp Democracy begins on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
http://www.campdemocracy.org

At long last, Americans are preparing to say "Enough is enough," and to do what Ukrainians, Mexicans, or any other people not drugged into acquiescence would do when things got this bad: occupy the capital city to demand peace, justice, and accountability.

Share a Ride to Camp Democracy, Share a Room When You Get Here!


Camp Democracy will be held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., from September 5 to 21. This will be a camp for peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law. Camp Casey will move from Crawford, Texas, to Washington to create a larger camp focused not only on ending the war but also on righting injustices here at home and on holding accountable the Bush Administration and Congress.
http://www.campdemocracy.org

Your travel to Camp Democracy is part of the camp and should be a community-building experience. Do you have two people in your car but four seats? Can you bring a van? A large bus? Or do you want to fly on a plane together with others bound for Camp Democracy? Sign up here to offer a ride or to ask for one: http://spaceshare.com/campdemocracy

Do you have or need a room in the Washington, D.C., area?
Sign up here to offer a room or request one:
http://spaceshare.com/campdemocracy

We Need Your Help!
Camp Democracy is a grassroots effort and will only succeed with the help of many, many people contributing the small amounts they can afford. This is our opportunity to do what the citizens of the Ukraine, of Mexico, and of other countries do when their democracies are taken from them. This is our chance to say "Enough is enough!" Can you help us?

Planning an Impeachment Blog Action

Starting at noon ET on September 1, 2006, and lasting 24 hours, websites and blogs all across the internet are being asked to replace their front pages with the single word "Impeach" in simple white text on a black background. Here's an example: http://impeachnet.net

Visitors to those sites and blogs will be able to click and link to the sites' usual front pages. But first they will see a word that, standing alone, is as powerful as any word right now: it is banned by our political and media leadership but more popular among citizens and activists than perhaps any other. It is both shocking and welcome. For 24 hours, web surfers and blog readers will see that word first when they visit their favorite sites. In this way, we hope to get the public talking about the one tool guaranteed by the Founders to restore our Constitutional Democracy. Please encourage your favorite websites to take part in this action. If you plan to take part, please let us know here:
http://www.impeachnet.net/blog/contact

FROM THE IMPEACHMENT FORUMS

"When Bush vetoed the embryonic stem-cell bill (the first veto of his presidency), he remarked that the implementation of this bill would have promoted the taking of innocent human life, something that "crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect." Regardless of the merits or pitfalls of the bill, I find it ironic (to understate) that this president invokes morality as the reason for his action--this president who has crossed so many moral boundaries himself . . . to devastating effect...."

Conyers Update

by John Conyer's Mother Saturday, Aug. 05, 2006 at 1:27 PM

I know my son John tends to be a bit over the edge but I love him anyway.

Just don't pay attention to him. I learned to ignore him when he was about 6 years old.

I always enjoy seeing him at Thanksgiving and Christmas but I always vote for his opponent. John had a hard time mowing the yard. I couldn't believe it when he was elected to Congress. Still don't.

What you have to believe to be a right wing idiot

by The Teacher Sunday, Aug. 06, 2006 at 5:39 AM

Here's a few of the nutty things you have to be to qualify as a right wing idiot:

# Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

# The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

# Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

# “Standing Tall for America” means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

# A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

# Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

# The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.

# Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

# If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.

# A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

# HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

# Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

# Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

# Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.

# A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

# Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

# The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but George Bush’s driving record is none of our business.

# You support states’ rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.

# What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the ’80s is irrelevant.

# Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
