“Patriotism, in my view, does not mean unquestioning acceptance of whatever the government does. To go along with whatever your government does is not a characteristic of democracy. I remember in my own early education we were taught that it was a sign of a totalitarian state, of a dictatorship, when people did not question what their government did. If you live in a democratic state, it means you have the right to criticize your government’s policies.”
Howard Zinn – “A Young People’s History of the United States” – vol. 1

Sept. 15: Impeachment Movement Comes to Washington
By plane, train, cars and buses thousands of ImpeachBush.org members are traveling from all 50 states to Washington DC for a massive march on September 15 demanding Impeachment and an end to the war in Iraq.
“Each and every one of us must do all that we can to support the major Peace/Impeachment demonstration in Washington, DC on September 15, 2007, backed by more than a million votes for impeachment, and accelerating. The rally will begin at 12 noon at the White House, followed by a march to the Capitol.”
–Ramsey Clark
Please make a donation today by clicking this link.
If you need a ride to DC it is urgent that you contact a volunteer transportation center in your area now and buy your bus ticket on one of the many chartered buses coming to Washington DC. Click this link to find a transportation center near you. The buses have to be paid for now so it is important that you make a reservation and get your ticket.
If you would like to be a transportation contact for your area, click this link.
If you cannot personally come to DC but want to help others come, please make a donation today by clicking this link. You can make a secure on-line donation or send a check.
Government Fines September 15 Organizers $10,000 for putting posters
One of the anti-war organizations mobilizing for the September 15 protest was fined $10,000 for putting up posters promoting the rally in Washington DC. This is an unprecedented action. The ANSWER Coalition is mobilizing political support and is filing a lawsuit against the DC government for this outrageous attempt to stifle the September demonstration. The group has said that it will not pay one penny for the exercise of its First Amendment rights.
Bush’s Interior Department is also threatening other large financial penalties against the group. The posters have been put up for earlier demonstrations. They conform to the government regulations and are completely legal. This is one more attack on Free Speech rights and an attempt to repress and criminalize those who are mobilizing against the Bush government.
The last thing Bush and Cheney want to see is a huge mass demonstration calling for Impeachment and End to the War at the moment that General David Petraeus makes his scheduled report to Congress about the “progress of the Iraq war.” Led by Iraq war veterans and their families, September 15 is shaping up as the biggest political showdown in recent years.
Please tell your friends and families to get on the bus and come to Washington DC on September 15.
We need to raise a huge amount of money for buses, posters, leaflets, sound and stage and the other expenses. We have no corporate funding. The ImpeachBush.org movement will succeed only because of the support from you and others who understand that impeachment is the defining issue for this country and its future.

The deadline is fast approaching, but for a few more days you can help Amnesty prepare for the most decisive weeks ahead in our year-long America I Believe In campaign.
Last week, I wrote to tell you about a group of generous Amnesty donors that has challenged us to raise money to expand our work to stop torture. They have pledged to match your contribution dollar-for-dollar up to $250,000 if made by August 31st.
It couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ve made real progress this summer in our effort to repeal the Bush Administration’s disastrous policies that have undermined our nation’s fundamental respect for the rule of law and human dignity.
But there is so much still to be done. If we can raise the full amount, Amnesty will have the funding to intensify pressure this fall by:
Mobilizing citizen delegations to visit House and Senate leaders to push for restoring habeas corpus, ending the practice of extraordinary rendition, stopping torture, and closing Guantánamo prison
Growing our campaign at the grassroots, in the media, and around the globe
Dispatching activist teams to conduct in-district meetings with members of Congress before key votes
The outrage that you and I have felt at watching our nation’s leadership on human rights deteriorate and abuses escalate is finally being heard. But we need your help to keep building this citizen-powered movement, which cuts across generations and party lines. In the words of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, “we have shaken the belief that the world had in America’s justice system by keeping a place like Guantánamo open.”
Whatever your relationship with Amnesty – a lifelong member, grassroots organizer, or occasional online activist – now is the time to take your commitment to ending human rights abuses to the next level. Your donation, which will be doubled if made by August 31st, will help ensure that Amnesty has the resources we need to win these critical battles ahead.
Thank you again for your commitment to restoring the America We Believe In.

If 3,000 people had not died on September 11, 2001, a report released by the CIA’s inspector general would be laughable. “A CIA report released Tuesday blames the top leadership of the agency for major lapses in fighting al-Qaida….” (Yah, right!)….

Changing themselves for the rulers is an easy task. When they feel that they can win an election and gain power by bowing at the feet of a man, they will never hesitate to bow. Almost all the people and religions agree on one point Almost all the people and religions agree on one point – that telling lies is a huge sin – however, they will never hesitate to speak the lies and befool the masses.
