It's time to start holding republican congress members accountable
for empowering bush the way they did on the war in iraq, the deficits, the enviromental roll backs etc.

If you are a moderate dem that sometimes votes for a republican senator or house rep, work to get them voted out.

1. Republican congress is run by like 3 people
All the actual representives just fold. and with re-districting, it doesn't matter, the death eaters will never lose a seat.

5. DeLay controls the RNC pursestrings.
and if they want to run for reelection, they have to kiss his butt and toe the party line.

The main thing they need to be held accountable for is accepting bribes and allowing the bribers to rewrite the laws that govern those industries.

3. I think that today we should all call Lindsay Graham and ask
him when the rest of the torture pictures will be released to the public. I saw him on C-Span say that the pictures should be released to the public and that they should be released quickly. Then it seems when the photos were so gruesome the expose was dropped. Then tomorrow we all call someone else. Let's bring their lies home to roost.

4. Make them finish the Senate Intelligence report
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 01:46 PM by IkeWarnedUs
Edit to add toll free number to Congress - 800-839-5276

The Republicans in the Senate Intelligence Committee are sitting on the second half of their report on pre-Iraq war intelligence. They pointed the finger at Tenet and are trying to supress the part of the report that deals with how the faulty intelligence was used by the people in power.

In press conferences on Friday Senators Rockefeller, Wyden and Feinstein said the second part of the report can easily be finished now - and that it is imperative it be released before the election.

The practically begged for people to demand it.

Here's a link to my thread with press conference transcripts:
