This is what Bushco has done this week.
They have initiated a process for a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

We found out they are taking apart social security.

Howard Stern was taken off the air for criticizing Bushco.

Bushco is complicit in trying to squash the 9/11 commission.

And now they overthrow the govt in freaking Haiti?


This band of criminials needs to be removed. This is unbelievable. I never dreamed I would see shit like this in the US. I am not sure if I can stay here if Bushco is reselected.

1. Worse than criminal because criminals are not above the law.
Media emails: Demand the Truth.
Here are some of the media email addresses I use quite often. If enough people send emails demanding the truth, they may be compelled to report if they feel their credibility is threatened. Remember to be professional as possible. Being courteous yet demanding and to the point will be more powerful than screaming and cursing.

Meet the Press
Newsweek
Keith Olbermann
Washington Post MSNBC Main
Chris Matthews

2. more of this to come too...
Longtime reader...finally registered before I explode with anger

It's getting to the point now that the "unbelievable" is becoming an everyday occurrence. This administration is determined to split this nation down the middle.....and unfortunately much of the big $$ is on their side. I think we can only expect more of this.. just to cloud the American perspective on what's right and wrong.

We have the numbers to out them... and we are in the right!!

6. thanks for the welcome
My wife has been my sounding board for too long. And although she agrees with everything, she needs a break..

Gotta hope there is still some integrity left within our media outlets. Can they possibly ignore the ongoing list of wrongs?

E-mailed Aaron Brown the other night to thanks him for his outrage about the 9-11 commission.

8. Good thinking!
:thumbsup: Contacting our media sources may now be as important as bugging our Congressmen, given the power that they hold.

4. bushfraud
That's a very nice summary.

And they've also fired two of their critics on panel that overseas stem cell and replaced them with silent cronies.

And they've also withdrawn a fraudulent report that was rewritten by HHS political staff to hide the negative conclusions about worse health insurance for minorities!

Didn't Halliburton come under fire again?

Oh--but the media haven't time for more than passing reference for these things at best.

Nowadays we can see the bloody christ on film--or hear about gay marriage threatening ???

THere must be more--the Bush Administration--true artists in the service of falsity and deceit.

7. lets not forget Bushco's war on women

He's destroying reproductive freedom worldwide (this leads to death for women and children, don't forget)

*Refused to sign U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)

*First day in office: Global Gag-Rule

*Building Platform to Outlaw Abortion

*Redefining Legal Status of the Fetus (legislation is now in debate to make harming a fetus at any stage of development a federal crime)

*Nominations to U.S. Courts; Anti-Choice Nominations to Overturn Roe

*Replacing Science with Right-Wing Ideology (including Abstinence-Only funding and nominees--i.e. abstinence-only advocate chosen to oversee nation's family planning program)

*Bush admin websites remove accurate medical information

this info from
http://www.plannedparenthood.com/library/facts/030114_waronwomen.html

Anyway, Thank you for that list and for the links. Does anyone have any "form letters" to those links? Sometimes I need some help on ideas of what to say, particularly when I'm overwhelmed with anger.

12. It is unbelievable. The audacity where they don't even care
if they bungle it for the whole world to know.

I never thought I would say this but I am not officially ABB. I can not take this.

If Bush's contract is extended, I will be right behind you.

17. An animal is most dangerous when backed into a corner...
With the latest poll results, perhaps Bush and Ashcroft and Gang feel they are backed into a corner? It is untelling what they may propose or do in the next few weeks and months???
