08-23: Help put the Good Guys back in Charge
"For over a year a single Senate seat has served as the sole
check on the ambitions of this administration to plunder the national
treasury on behalf of its friends. The administration has tried
to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling by its
allies in the oil industry. It has supported high oil prices by
increasing federal purchases of oil and threatening a multi-billion
dollar war in the Middle East. And it winked as its oil and gas
buddies manipulated the West Coast energy market, creating a fictional
shortage that permitted energy companies to quintuple their profits
while energy-starved businesses in that region faced economic
ruin. Worse, it has set a terrible example for corporate accountability
by the actions of its own top officials. Bush took corporate loans
he now would ban. Cheney profited from insider sales that make
Martha Stewart's look like window dressing. And they all looked
the other way as friends in high corporate office pillaged their
companies of billions of dollars and then left shareholders and
employees high and dry. It is clearer than ever that "compassionate
conservatism" has proven to be no more than crony capitalism at
its worst. So do something about it!"

08-09: Help
Us Save Our Democracy
This request for help is directed to citizens and
to elected officials. We are in the process of contacting people
across Massachusetts, in an effort to organize ourselves into
groups that will call, visit (and harass) our representatives
in Congress. We want them to hear how concerned we are about the
lack of democratic input into the debate over Iraq, and we want
to challenge the disastrous directions our foreign policies are
heading under Bush. The contacts for this project are:
Ann Eno 978-692-5483 annenough@aol.com
Pat McSweeney 508-822-2882 patmcs1@juno.com
There is also a listserv established for this project. People
interested in joining can send a subscribe letter to DemocracyCentral-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Please include your phone number, and congressional district,
if you know it. |
06-13: Protect
the Right to Vote!
Out of all the rights that we enjoy as citizens, perhaps the most
fundamental is our right to vote. Ever since the controversial
2000 elections, one fact has become clear: reforms are necessary
if we are to ensure that the votes of all Americans are counted
fairly. Both the House and Senate have now passed legislation
in response to the 2000 election. Unfortunately, both the House
bill (H.R. 3295) and the Senate version (S. 565) contain measures
that would threaten individual privacy and voter participation.
House and Senate negotiators are now meeting to resolve the differences
in their bills; now is the time to press them to remove these
harmful provisions.

CROSS- FLORIDA CARAVAN
"Florida
Grandmas are mad as hell! We know political corruption when we
see it! Yet, we've been portrayed across this nation as too stupid
to vote! ENOUGH is ENOUGH! We're taking our message on the road.
We will drive a slow caravan of cars, trucks, RVs, and maybe even
buses through central Florida culminating at a protest destination
in Orlando. We will travel at a minimum speed on I-4 no faster
than 45mph to show that we not only can drive but we can vote
too!"
The new date for Caravan of Cause is August 11, to meet in Orlando
at a rally scheduled for 2:00pm.We currently have 14 volunteers
for the Caravan of Cause and we need more. If you want to participate
in organizing one of the biggest car caravans in FloridaÕs history
please contact me by phone at (727) 501-0268 or email.
Can you help line up cars in Miami, Tampa, Daytona, or Tallahassee
for a slow, Bush dissenting trip to a grand rally in the Central
Florida Fair in Orlando? Can you help with making phone calls
or sending out emails? Can you help with publicity? Any help with
this huge event promises to be rewarding for you and for us all
in November.

TELL ASHCROFT TO BACK OFF!
"Attorney
General John Ashcroft is trying to overturn Oregon's Death with
Dignity law. No real surprise, or is it? After all, John Ashcroft
built a career on standing up for states' rights. And now he's
trying to silence the voters of Oregon. Why is he trying to butt
in where the federal government doesn't belong?..."

To all activists from Montana, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, and
Minnesota:
Your letters to the editor of your local and state newspapers
are BADLY needed. As you have probably read by now, Republicans
have singled out five senators up for reelection, who are running
a close race, and they (the Republican Lie Machine) has gone on
the attack against Max Baucus, Jean Carnahan, Tom Harkin, Tim
Johnson, and Paul Wellstone. Bush participates in the radio and
TV adds that accuse these five senators of putting partisan interests
"ahead of those of the nation." The five senators' act of treason:
Voting against Bush's so-called economic stimulus package which
once again redistributes more wealth by borrowing money (that
our grandchildren will owe) to give a second huge tax break to
the elite and to corporations such as Enron (slated to receive
250,000,000, unless that gift has been deleted in the face of
Enron's collapse).
The constituents in these five states will see and hear these
ads and need to be told WHAT it was that these five senators were
voting against.
I'm not from any of the five states but wonder if those who are
might form a group and keep a tally, etc. of letters to editors.
I'm always surprised at how many people read letters in their
local papers. The loss of them all, and IMO especially Paul Wellstone,
would be a crushing blow to us all.

Help Greg Palast get media exposure
Greg Palast (http://www.gregpalast.com),
American journalist who reports for the BBC and the London Observer,
has written a book, THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY with new
material on Enron, the bin Laden family and, of course, the 2000
presidential election with the forward written by Joe Conason.
Deliveries are set for sometime in March.
If enough of us ask, we can get Greg on Larry King Live (http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/)
and C-Span's Washington Journal. That will make it easier for
the publisher's PR people to book him on network news programs.
This is a totally grass roots effort to get this information out
and we need everybody's help. Greg has been there for us since
the beginning. If it wasn't for Greg's articles on the stolen
election, none of this would have ever been in print.
Let's all get behind this effort and make Greg's new book a best
seller. Here's the contact information:
C-Span's Washington Journal
journal@c-span.org
Phone - (765) 464-3080 Fax - (202) 393-3346
C-Span
400 N. Capitol Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001
Larry King Live http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live
On the left column, you can submit program ideas right from the
website.
Greg will be promoting his book through a book tour in the Spring.
If they gather, he will come, so if you think you would like to
be involved in bringing Greg to your town for book-signings, put
your feelers out now.

a great suggestion from The Fallout Shelter discussion list
|
Write to the NY Times
This suggestion was posted on a mailing list, and it's a good
one:
We need to get on the case of editors all over the country, let
them know we are "out there" and we're very angry. Let them know
we want them to focus on Bush's wrongdoing - wherever it exits
- with the same "passion" and "devotion" they applied to harassing
the Clintons.
One place to start would be to e-mail Howell Raines, Executive
Managing Editor of The New York Times. He trashed Clinton daily
for eight years over Whitewater and then lost interest when there
were NO charges brought against the Clintons.
Let Howell Raines know you, we, are damn angry. Enron is vastly
more scandalous than Whitewater EVER was, and Howell Raines knows
that.
Raines' email address: Raines@nytimes.com |
Take Action to Save Social Security
If someone offered you less money for more work, would you take
it? No, you wouldn't. But that's exactly the deal Bush's Commission
on Social Security wants lawmakers to pass.
