Petition

I follow the news carefully and I am outraged at the innumerable crimes of the Bush Administration - and the failure of Congress to stop those crimes.

As my Representative in Congress, these are the actions I want you to take this week.

  1. Join the 81 Members who have signed the Progressive Caucus "Peace Pledge" to oppose any more Iraq funding except to bring our troops safely home before Bush leaves office.

  2. Oppose amnesty and immunity for telephone companies that illegally spied on American citizens without a warrant.

  3. Oppose Michael Mukasey for Attorney General because he (a) wants to keep Guantanamo open despite the strong objections of the world (b) allow "enhanced interrogation techniques" which is just Bushspeak for torture, an international war crime, and (c) abused material-witness laws to lock up Muslims without charges.

  4. Oppose the Lieberman-Kyl-Graham-Coleman Declaration of War on Iran

  5. Support the Feinstein-Harkin bill to close Guantanamo.
  6. Oppose Hans von Spakovsky for FEC Commissioner because of his key role in illegal voter suppression, disciminatory and illegal voter ID laws, the illegal TX redistricting engineered by Tom DeLay, and the stolen election in Florida, all documented here:

  7. Support the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

  8. Hold White House officials in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas requiring their sworn testimony and documents. Since Bush's Justice Department refuses to enforce Congressional subpoenas, Congress must use its "inherent contempt" authority to put White House officials in a DC jail until they comply.

  9. Investigate Newsweek's report that Dick Cheney is trying to provoke a war with Iran

  10. Co-sponsor H.Res. 333 to Impeach Dick Cheney for lying about Iraq

  11. Introduce Articles of Impeachment for George Bush for at least 10 egregiously impeachable offenses:
