Below is a copy of an email I received less than an hour ago. The Center for Constitutional Rights is asking we target 8 Senators. I included the entire email since it give a good run down and very specific language to use when we call. I know we are in a very up hill battle here but if not now when? Even if we win the house and the Senate in Nov. this legislation won' get rolled back. Bush will just veto any attempts to curtail his power. We have to fight this fight now! You can Fax them tonight through the Center for Constitutional Rights website.

I haven't written a diary in quite some time, mostly lazy but I also hate working on a laptop. However, tonight I came across this article in Newsweek titled "Study: Top Students Fail at Civics" and no this isn't just some student in some inner city schools this is the whole fucking country!
I know I'm pissed at Newsweek too for the stunt they pulled this week with the US Frontpage but this is important

When I read the story it became quite clear how much trouble our country is in and from the looks of things it will only get worse. Read More

OK Are the winds of change finally blowing? I've had CNN playing in the backround all day and they have given massive coverage to both the Dufar Rallythat is going on in DC today and the upcomming immigrants rights marches tomorrow.

CNN has announced that they will be giving coverage all day to tomorrows action, even hooking up with Univision to provide spanish language coverage. They are starting at 6AM.

They also did interviews with business owners who are closing down for the day calling it "Immigrant Appreciation Day". Including a spokesman for Cargill. Read More

I heard about this site on the Mike Malloy show tonight. This is the link to the web site http://www.westpointgradsagainstthewar.org/. Go and check it out. This is the Mission Statement

OUR PURPOSE
To help reclaim the honor of the United States Of America
*Instilled by the Cadet Honor System with a fundamental, longstanding respect for truth, we graduates of the United States Military Academy believe that honor is a basic attribute of character. That we are no longer cadets is irrelevant. We stand appalled by the deceitful behavior of the government of the United States and, in particular, its widely known malefactors. Lying, cheating, stealing, delivering evasive statements and quibbling not only has demeaned these deceivers and the United States of America, but has placed vast numbers of innocent people in deadly peril. We will not serve the lies.

I just had the following email forwarded to me. Personally I think it is bullshit. No business in their right mind would say something like this. So what is this attack on Starbucks about? Has anyone else gotten this email?
Add any info and ideas to comments.

and of course Gonzales refuses. So what do we think, should he stay or should he go? How can we help influence the process?

(Bloomberg) -- Thirty-one Democratic Senators asked U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to remove himself from supervising the Justice Department's investigation of the scandal involving Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
`Given the expanding scope of the investigation into the executive branch, public confidence in the process will be ensured only if you recuse yourself,'' the senators wrote.

``The attorney general has followed all DOJ guidelines which govern these decisions, and there is no reason to recuse himself from the investigation at this time,'' Tasia Scolinos, a spokeswoman for Gonzales, said.

So what can we do about it? Keep going Read More

The Hartford Courant is reporting
yet another piece of missing evidence.

WASHINGTON -- The Department of Homeland Security has not been able to find any recording of a crucial conference call five hours after Hurricane Katrina made landfall - though it has transcripts of other key discussions recorded in the days before and after the storm struck.
Senate investigators want to know who conferred and what they said on a 40-minute call that began at noon Aug. 29, as levees were being breached in New Orleans and government relief efforts were overwhelmed by the enormity of the storm.

Did Coretta Scott King impact your life?
Yes 19% 26491 votes
No 81% 112125 votes
Total: 138616 votes

This is just an FYI because judging from the comments on this site over the last few days I think the results are absolutely true.

There is an excellent diary on what the debate over the last few days should have looked like, but nobody bothered to read it. So as your cheering the funeral comments try thinking about what she stood for.

Is closing in on the 50K mark. We are just 4500 short and Majority Report just did two pushes in the last hour. Can we make it over the $50,000 point by midnight. Think of the great press release the campaign could put out. And think of the message it will give to all those turncoat Dems.

Kos has been pushing along with a lot of others for the past day now lets hit a real target. I'll match the first $50.00 to get the ball rolling.

Make your contribution Update We are just 3500 short of the 50k goal

Kennedy has been counting votes and running elections for years. We need to listen to what he is telling us. This is our opportunity to prove we are a force to be reckoned with. If the elections were held today we would control the House and the Oval Office. We are the MAJORITY. Let's start acting like it. They Republicans have never accepted defeat gracefully, why should we.

Kennedy gave us a game plan let's follow it.

9am Monday morning shut down the Senate switchboard.

Barack Obama said today http://www.qctimes.net/articles/2006/01/28/news/local/doc43db147ae0615283461724.txt

“It’s really a question whether I vote against Judge Alito once or twice,” he said. Obama conceded that there is some doubt precisely how many Democrats might oppose a filibuster, describing the situation as “in flux.” “There’s some dispute with respect to those numbers. We’re trying to check that out right now,” he said.

In Flux = We are having an impact and the numbers are changing. Then Senator Kennedy gave us his list of where we need to put our efforts. Read More

I'm no Kerry fan but we need to get the right perception on the air tonight. The right is going to try to kill the filibuster we need to get to every poll that is out there to frame the discussion and the public perception of the filibuster. Pass this on.
