National Priorities Project Bulletin
Feb 10, 2006
Our friends at the National Priorities Project have just put together a new analysis of the President's Budget for fiscal year 2007. We hope your group will look at their web site and read over the new material.

With the approach of the 3rd anniversary of the war in Iraq and the upcoming request from the Bush administration for upwards of $100 billion more for the war, this is an excellent time to be highlighting the local costs of the war. The materials prepared by the National Priorities Project can be very useful in that work.

Please feel free to contact the National Priorities Project directly if you have any questions. Their phone number is 413-584-9556.
peace,

National Priorities Project Bulletin
*******************************************
The Bush administration released its budget request for fiscal year 2007 on February 6th. It proposes deep cuts in domestic programs, totaling a $15 billion loss in non-security domestic discretionary spending.

NPP has just released "The President's Budget: Impact on the States," which provides a brief publication for each state with an overview analysis and local numbers showing the impact of the proposed budget.  The publication addresses seven different programs or issue areas: food and nutrition; community development; the environment; Head Start; Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); education and community policing.

To find your state, go to: www.nationalpriorities.org/budget07.  

While the administration claims that the proposed cuts are necessary to reduce the deficit, the budget would make the 2001-2003 tax cuts permanent, which would reduce revenues by $1.7 trillion over the next decade.  The budget also does not include complete funding for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, which could add another $70 billion to the deficit.  Excluding war spending, the Defense Department budget would increase by 7 percent. 

Breakdowns of the cost of the Iraq War by state are included in this release at www.nationalpriorities.org/budget07. 

Sincerely,
For All that is Good in the World,

Arlen Specter: "Bush Violated the Law."

FOCUS | Arlen Specter: "Bush Violated the Law."
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/020606Z.shtml
The Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee said today that he believed the Bush administration had violated the law with its warrantless surveillance program and that its legal justifications for the program were "strained and unrealistic."
I firmly believe George Bush and his Administration knowingly broke the law because they think they are somehow above it and that impeachment proceedings should be pursued immediately against George Bush and Dick Cheney.
For Peace, Nonviolence and the Civil Rights of every American.
