Demand an Investigation Now

Demand an Investigation Now!
When Richard Nixon abused power, Congress held a serious, bi-partisan investigation that resulted in articles of impeachment. Strong evidence suggests that George Bush and Dick Cheney launched an illegal war and lied to Congress, spied on Americans without court approval, leaked classified information, produced phony news reports, imprisoned without charge and tortured, targeted civilians and used illegal weapons. Urge your Representative to join the 27 sponsors of House Resolution 635 for a Watergate-style investigation.

Stop Bush's Plan to Let the United Arab Emirates Operate U.S. Ports
George Bush says he didn't know about the deal to put the United Arab Emirates in charge of the ports of New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia, plus military equipment going through Beaumont and Corpus Christi. But he still supports it 1000% and promises to veto any bill to stop the deal. Tell your Representatives to stop Bush's plan.
