December 12, 2005 What You Can Do NOW


This morning see a full page ad in the New York Times (A17) demanding
BUSH STEP DOWN and Take Your Program With You!
Be part of spreading this across the U.S.!

It's going to take an organized movement of millions to Drive OUT the Bush Regime. Here's our next step:
Late January: Drown out Bush's lies at the State of the Union address (date TBA). In large cities and small towns all across the country, join in rallies one hour before Bush's address as we make our determination to "Drive Out the Bush Regime" the political message of the day. We are not allowing Bush to set the tone. The following Saturday, everyone heads to Washington DC to protest at the seat of government. Prominent voices of conscience will help deliver the people's verdict on Bush's criminal regime. Start organizing...

Help Build & Fund this movement! Hold a fundraising house party:

The Call, now signed by 12,000 people, and wonderful video coverage of the November 2 actions, together provide the program for house parties to spread this movement. Invite your friends, neighbors, co-workers and anyone you think has been looking for this chance to make Bush step down. We've learned how much people need community and a chance to talk. Deep, engaging conversations spread around living rooms, and people will open their checkbooks to make this movement happen, and sign up to involve others.
Anyone can do this. Invite some people over to watch the video and discuss the Call. You can become an organizer for The World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime, and make a difference as we head into 2006.

Monday, 12/12 Today's Reason to Drive Out the Bush Regime
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist declared he would stop a filibuster from preventing Alito being confirmed as Supreme Court Justice. Alito was nominated after Miers wasn't openly fascist enough, and has openly stated his desire to overturn Roe v. Wade in the past (in a job application, Alito wrote: "The textual, historical and doctrinal basis of is so far flawed that this Court should overrule it and return the law to the condition in which it was before that case was decided"). While women's right to choose and many other life and death issues hang in the balance, Frist makes it clear that they will not allow any opposition to their pick for Supreme Court. more... read this feature every day!

Why would Bush step down? How could the Bush Regime be driven out? There are actually quite a few different possibilities. If we build the movement powerfully and quickly enough, things can start opening up and coming out. The first bit of criminality has been attached to the Bush Regime with the Libby indictment. This could go much deeper. The Downing Street Memo has not been answered; the WMD's never found. The lies the Bush Regime is based on way surpass anything Richard Nixon was forced to resign over. The stolen elections - including the voting machine scandal (which has remained suppressed) could open up.
