Hopeless Escalation.......

Obama Hopeless Escalation

There are news reports that on Decembers 1st, Obama will be at West Point to announce that he is sending tens of thousands more troops to Afghanistan, this despite our rallies, vigils, petitions, phone calls and e-mails saying NO to MORE WAR. We can't let generals and war profiteers be the only ones who have the President's ear.

Obama needs to hear our voices loud and clear. Now is the time to take to the streets, the airwaves, and the opinion pages to say NO to escalation, NO to massive corruption and war profiteering, NO to bombs dropped on Afghan wedding parties, and no to money squandered on war and occupation while the needs of people in this country go unmet.

We have made a powerful "Hopeless Escalation" visual that you can use to create a sign for your office, your window, or your car.

Download the flier for your office, window or car: B W | Color

 You can send "Hopeless Escalation" as an e-card to your friends and family. Or try making a banner to hang from a freeway overpass!

Whatever you decide to do--do it now!

Raise your voices to join those of Ambassador Eikenberry, Captain Matthew Hoh, The California Democratic Party, Afghan parliamentarian Malalai Joya, Pakistan's Prime Minister, and 54% of US voters, all of them saying NO.

Army of None: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, End War and Build a Better World
Oct 6, 2009
Focus: Peace
Action Request: Various
Location: United States
Editor's Note: The following is excerpted from Army of None: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, End War and Build a Better World published by Seven Stories Press, August 2007. Reprinted here by permission of publisher. Copyright © 2007 Aimee Allison and David Solnit

Top military recruitment facts

1. Recruiters lie. According the New York Times, nearly one of five United States Army recruiters was under investigation in 2004 for offenses varying from "threats and coercion to false promises that applicants would not be sent to Iraq." One veteran recruiter told a reporter for the Albany Times Union, "I've been recruiting for years, and I don't know one recruiter who wasn't dishonest about it. I did it myself."

2. The military contract guarantees nothing. The Department of Defense's own enlistment/re-enlistment document states, "Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay allowances, benefits and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment/re-enlistment document" (DD Form4/1, 1998, Sec.9.5b).

3. Advertised signing bonuses are bogus. Bonuses are often thought of as gifts, but they're not. They're like loans: If an enlistee leaves the military before his or her agreed term of service, he or she will be forced to repay the bonus. Besides, Army data shows that the top bonus of $20,000 was given to only 6 percent of the 47,7272 enlistees who signed up for active duty.

4. The military won't make you financially secure. Military members are no strangers to financial strain: 48 percent report having financial difficulty, approximately 33 percent of homeless men in the United States are veterans, and nearly 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night.

5. Money for college ($71,424 in the bank?). If you expect the military to pay for college, better read the fine print. Among recruits who sign up for the Montgomery GI Bill, 65 percent receive no money for college, and only 15 percent ever receive a college degree. The maximum Montgomery GI Bill benefit is $37,224, and even this 37K is hard to get: To join, you must first put in a nonrefundable $1,200 deposit that has to be paid to the military during the first year of service. To receive the $37K, you must also be an active-duty member who has completed at least a three-year service agreement and is attending a four-year college full time. Benefits are significantly lower if you are going to school part-time or attending a two-year college. If you receive a less than honorable discharge (as one in four do), leave the military early (as one in three do), or later decide not to go to college, the military will keep your deposit and give you nothing. Note: The $71,424 advertised by the Army and $86,000 by the Navy includes benefits from the Amy or Navy College Fund, respectively. Fewer than 10 percent of all recruits earn money from the Army College Fund, which is specifically designed to lure recruits into hard-to-fill positions.

6. Job training. Vice President Dick Cheney once said, "The military is not a social welfare agency; it's not a jobs program." If you enlist, the military does not have to place you in your chosen career field or give you the specific training requested. Even if enlistees do receive training, it is often to develop skills that will not transfer to the civilian job market. (There aren't many jobs for M240 machine-gunners stateside.)

7. War, combat, and your contract. First off, if it's your first time enlisting, you're signing up for eight years. On top of that, the military can, without your consent, extend active-duty obligations during times of conflict, "national emergency," or when directed by the president. This means that even if an enlistee has two weeks left on his/ her contract (yes, even Guard/Reserve) or has already served in combat, she/he can still be sent to war. More than a dozen U.S. soldiers have challenged "stop-loss" measures like these in court so far, but people continue to be shipped off involuntarily. The military has called thousands up from Inactive Ready Reserve -- soldiers who have served, some for as long as a decade, and been discharged. The numbers: twice as many troops are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan per year as during the Vietnam War. One-third of the troops who have gone to Iraq have gone more than once. The highest rate of first- time deployments belongs to the Marine Corps Reserve: almost 90 percent have fought.

Support IMPEACHMENT Hearing on Friday !
Jul 23, 2008
Focus: Government
Action Request: Various
Location: United States

Support the Kucinich Impeachment Hearing on Friday


Tell your Representatives to support impeachment by cosponsoring H. Res. 1345:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/142

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has led the fight for impeachment since April 2007, when he courageously introduced 3 Articles of Impeachment (H.Res. 333/799) against Vice President Cheney. On June 10, Kucinich introduced 3 5 Articles of Impeachment (H.Res. 1258) against President Bush.

When Speaker Pelosi refused to allow hearings on any of the 38 Articles, Kucinich returned to the floor of Congress to introduce one more Article of Impeachment against President Bush (H.Res. 1345).

Thanks to massive pressure from Democrats.com and our pro-impeachment allies, Speaker Pelosi finally allowed Chairman Conyers to hold a hearing this Friday. Kucinich will get a few minutes to argue for impeachment along with Rep. Robert Wexler, former Rep. Liz Holtzman, and former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson. Kucinich made a video to thank us for our efforts.

H.Res. 1345 focuses on Bush's ultimate crime - invading Iraq on the basis of lies. The evidence is overwhelming that George Bush and other top officials manufactured those lies to "sell" an invasion whose real purpose was to gain control of Iraq's oil and establish military bases in the heart of the Middle East - the agenda of the Project for a New American Century that Bush and McCain fully embraced.

When Kucinich testifies on Friday, he will naturally face hostile questions from rightwing Republicans who impeached President Clinton. But Kucinich will also face hostile questions from key Democrats who oppose impeachment.

Some of these Democrats supported the invasion of Iraq: Howard Berman (CA28), Rick Boucher (VA09), Adam Schiff (CA29), Brad Sherman (CA27), and Anthony Weiner (NY09).

But most of these Democrats oppose impeachment because they are cowering in fear of a counterattack from the White House and FOX News: John Conyers (MI14), Artur Davis (AL07), Bill Delahunt (MA10), Zoe Lofgren (CA16), Jerry Nadler (NY08), Linda Sanchez (CA39), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL20), Bobby Scott (VA03), Betty Sutton (OH13), and Mel Watt (NC12).

Only a few Judiciary Democrats understand that the Founding Fathers gave Congress the power of impeachment as the only way to stop a President from defying the Constitution and becoming a dictator, as Bush has done: Robert Wexler (FL19), Tammy Baldwin (WI02), Steve Cohen (TN09), Keith Ellison (MN05), Luis Gutierrez (IL04), Sheila Jackson Lee (TX18), Hank Johnson (GA04), and Maxine Waters (CA35).

If anti-impeachment Democrats get their way, Friday's 2-hour hearing will be the only "impeachment" hearing for this entire Congress - and then Bush will try to pardon himself and everyone else before leaving office next January, just as his father pardoned six Iran-contra criminals.

So it is crucial for all of us - now over 500,000! - to tell our Representatives today to support impeachment by cosponsoring Kucinich's H. Res. 1345:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/142

And if you can do more, please make free calls to every Judiciary Democrat who opposes impeachment through CauseCaller:
http://www.causecaller.com/causes.php?c=House_Judiciary_Democrats_Impeachment
Simply enter your phone number and click the "Start Calling" button. (Click "Call me back if I accidentally hang up" in case you hang up by mistake.) In a few seconds, your phone will "magically" ring and CauseCaller will say the name of the first Representative on the list. Listen carefully for the name of each Member so you can repeat the name to the receptionist - or just say "The Representative." Don't hang up between calls - let the receptionists hang up and CauseCaller will dial the next Representative.

If you want to do even more, call your favorite radio or TV talk shows and tell them how important Friday's hearings will be, and how strongly you support impeachment for whichever reasons are most important to you. Prepare your thoughts in advance so you sound informed and determined.

And if you're near Washington DC, join Veterans for Peace to lobby Congress on Thursday and hold a pro-impeachment rally on Friday:

Focus: Government
Action Request: Various
Location: United States

Here is some info from Kucinich (this site here is just sharing the info, you must sign up with the original site and source to get updates!)

Articles of Impeachment

Dear Friend:

Under circumstances that can best be described as "suspicious," the www.kucinich.us website was crippled early this morning a few hours after Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 extensively documented Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Until we can restore the website and implement additional security measures, you can find the full list and detailed Articles at
http://www.democrats.com/files/amomentoftruth.pdf
and http://chun.afterdowningstreet.org/amomentoftruth.pdf

If you would like to show your support for the Congressman's efforts, please go to myinfo.kucinich.us to offer your comments and provide us with contact information so that we can continue to keep you informed.

Thank you
Committee to Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Please sign up with them to get updates, this site is just sharing this info.

Here are some things you can do...

CALL CONYERS and PELOSI TO DEMAND IMPEACHMENT...

Here are the numbers for them both, remind them of their DUTY to put impeachment into action and remind him impeachment is NOT too late as it is never too late to uphold the law and it is never acceptable to claim there are not enough votes....it is not their job to say there are or are not enough votes, it is his job to uphold the law.............them saying they will not uphold the law is like a cop saying he won't arrest a murderer because a jury may not convict. Also that lame excuse that it will divide the country or stop the government doing their job is a lie, since the government isn't doing their job NOW and also everything and I mean everything hinges on us having the rule of law functioning.

We have enough evidence on video tape with bush ADMITTING to impeachable crimes, same with cheney, we could impeach BOTH in ONE DAY.

Please call Pelosi's office to demand she get out of the way of justice:
San Francisco Office: 415-556-4862
DC Office: 202-225-4965

Call Conyers (and others if you like)

202-225-5126

202-224-3121

URGENT - Kucinich delivering impeachment articles NOW!

Dear friends:

A few moments ago, (approximately 7:30 p.m. EDT), Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich took to the floor of the House of Representatives to present 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. The House session is being televised live on C-SPAN.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

Dear Supporter,

Courageous Congressman, Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh) is on CSPAN right now, 5:30pm PST, introducing 35 articles of impeachment against sham-President, George W. Bush.

As accountability is a major plank in Cindy for Congress' platform, we stand in unity with Dennis and profoundly support this action and congratulate him on standing up for democracy, peace, and the rule of law.

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca), has been the major obstacle to holding the criminals in the Bush administration accountable and Cindy for Congress demands that she do her constitutionally mandated job (Article II, Section 4: A president and vice president shall be impeached for bribery, treason and other high crimes and midemeanors) and allow these articles to be investigated and prosecuted.

If Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi does not do her job, and also stand up for democracy, peace, and the rule of law, she should step down as a sworn constitutional protector. Dennis takes his oath seriously, as have 4092 brave, but misused American soldiers and we demand that Nancy Pelosi do the same or resign so accountability can proceed.

Please call Dennis' office to thank him: 202-225-5871

Please call Pelosi's office to demand she get out of the way of justice:
San Francisco Office: 415-556-4862
DC Office: 202-225-4965

Focus: Government
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
I just wrote this to my representative Jean Schmidt, Speaker of the House pelosi and I faxed it to Head of the Judiciary John Conyers (you can send a free fax by going to: https://faxzero.com/ ) you can write your rep by going to

Here: House.gov

And here: Senate.gov

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Congresswoman Schmidt,

Now the Senate has PROVEN Bush (and others) intentionally lied us into war.

Repeat....THE US SENATE HAS PROVEN BUSH LIED ON PURPOSE TO GET US INTO AN ILLEGAL WAR.

Impeach them.

Read:
"The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi

or any of a HUGE growing pile of books that clearly state we have enough evidence right now to impeach in no time.

Or, charge him and Cheney and Rice and the rest with murder.

Or, continue to sell your soul and sell out the United States and sell out the innocent Iraqi's and sell out the world so that you can cozy up to the power structure.

We pay you and lend you the power you have ma'am to protect our Constitution, not to comfortably rub shoulders with murderers and war criminals.

All the people that died in WWII did so to protect us from a tyrant.

To not impeach is to spit on their sacrifice and nullify everything they and so many others gave.

Stand up for this country, our Constitution, the people, the rule of law and the world.

Stand up and do what is right.

Stand up.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Call Pelosi, Conyers and YOUR reps and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT!

Here: House.gov

And here: Senate.gov

Contact media: Fair.org

Vist and follow through on things you can do at sites like these: AfterDowningStreet.org and ImpeachBush.org

PLEASE folks, if we don't impeach we will NEVER get control of our government again and ALL issues from rights to animals to health to environment will mean NOTHING.

Please do everything you can.

Tell Scott McClellan to donate his book profits to veterans
May 31, 2008
Focus: Government
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Tell Scott McClellan to donate his book profits to veterans 3:46 PM

There are laws to prevent criminals from profiting by selling their stories. But after spending years defending the Bush administration and perpetuating the lies that led our country into war, Scott McClellan is poised to make bank—his tell-all book is a bestseller and he may make hundreds of thousands or millions.

Meanwhile, our troops are still dying in Iraq.

Coming clean is admirable. But McClellan shouldn't profit off
the role he played in our nation's largest foreign policy
blunder.

So we have a proposition for him. Let's call on him to donate

all of the proceeds from his book to a group that helps Iraq veterans, like Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. If we make enough noise, he'll probably be asked about it on tomorrow's Sunday shows (he's on all three!)—so please sign on and pass this around. Click here:

http://pol.moveon.org/mcclellan/?r_by=12765-5736868-_1LwHD&rc=paste

The petition reads:

People who helped lie this
country into an unnecessary war should not be rewarded for it. Scott McClellan
should donate all the proceeds from his book to a group that helps Iraq
veterans—like Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Thanks for all you
do.
