Tell President Bush to Withdraw the Nomination of William HaynesPresident Bush declared the prisoner abuse scandal to be an outrage and injustice. But he continues to push William J. Haynes, his general counsel at the Pentagon, for a federal judgeship. Haynes failed in his duty to ensure that the U.S. military complied with the laws of war, including the Geneva Conventions. Write a letter to the editor demanding that Bush withdraw the nomination of William Haynes.
Demand a Plan to Secure the PeacePresident Bush's failure to plan for a post-war Iraq has left our soldiers in greater danger and uncertain of the future — all while tarnishing America's credibility in the eyes of the world. Sign our petition to demand that President Bush give our soldiers the leadership and certainty they deserve by presenting a clear plan to win the peace in Iraq.
Gas Prices Reach All Time High: Tell Us Your StoryOn May 13, the price of gasoline hit an all-time high. In addition to filling up the cost of your car's gas tank, these unprecedented prices affect virtually every good or service we spend money on. But President Bush is doing nothing, except reportedly cutting a deal with Saudi Arabia to keep gas prices high until the election. Americans need relief now, and Bush's inaction will cost him in November.
50 Years after Brown vs. Board of Education, Americans Have Another ChoiceThe 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education is an ideal opportunity to remind Americans of the profound choice we are making for our children this November. It's a choice between a president who has broken his promises to America's children and a leader with a plan that will bring them the educational opportunities they deserve.
How Have Bush's Health Care Failures Affected Your Family?John Kerry is taking his plan to provide affordable, reliable health care directly to the American people. With millions of Americans still uninsured, with job security nonexistent, with the costs of health care skyrocketing, ensuring that every American has access to quality health care is more important than ever.
Tell Bush to Take ResponsibilityIt's time for Bush to take responsibility for once and demand accountability. Send a message to President Bush demanding that he fire Donald Rumsfeld for his failure to prevent the despicable acts at Abu Ghraib prison.
Bush Administration Broke the Law With Medicare LieThe Bush administration lied to Congress about the cost of his Medicare prescription drug plan, an act that violated the law, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. The decision to withhold information from Congress was made by Thomas Scully, President Bush's former Medicare chief who has gone on to lobby for the pharmaceutical industry.
Why Did Bush Insist on Testifying With Cheney Before the 9/11 Commission?President Bush refuses to answer the simple question: Why did you insist on having Vice President Cheney in the room with you when you testified before the September 11 commission? Here's your chance to answer it for him. Tell us why you think Bush needed Cheney in the room while he answered the commission's questions.
Bush Adviser Compares Pro-Choice Americans to TerroristsAt the same time that we were marching for women's lives, Karen Hughes went on television to equate pro-choice Americans to terrorists — saying "I think after September 11th, the American people are valuing life more … our enemies in the terror network … don't value any life, not even the innocent, not even their own."
Dick Cheney Attacks Kerry With No CredibilityThe Bush campaign has sent Vice President Cheney out to make personal attacks on John Kerry's record on national security. They couldn't have picked a worse spokesman. Cheney has zero credibility on national security attacks. While Kerry was serving with bravery and distinction in Vietnam, Cheney was getting deferments to avoid service. Cheney still has financial ties to Halliburton. Cheney led the fight to reduce the size of our military and close military bases.
