Conyers and 11 Reps Sue Bush For Violations of Constitution
Jul 24, 2006
Conyers v. Bush

I wanted to update you on the lawsuit I have filed against George W. Bush and members of his administration, referred to in legal parlance as Conyers v. Bush.

You are likely familiar with a number of steps I have taken to challenge the legality and constitutional grounds of the Administration's actions. From the lead up to Iraq, to the Downing Street Minutes, to the outing of a CIA agent, to warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens, I have called loudly for the Bush White House to explain itself.

Schoolhouse Rock - I'm Just a Bill

Legal Filing at Talk Left


I decided to file suit against the President in Federal Court in Michigan, along with 11 Senior Democratic Members of Congress.  This suit was necessary because of a clear violation of the constitution.  When the President signed the Deficit Reduction Act (which "reduced" the deficit by cutting taxes, health care benefits, and student loans), he signed into law a bill that had not passed the House and Senate.  A different version of the bill passed each house of Congress with a multi-billion dollar difference in funding for life-saving medical equipment.

Anyone who ever watched Schoolhouse Rock knows this to be a problem.

Given the stakes involved I felt it was imperative to aggressively take this fight to the courts. The President's lawyers tried to get the bill dismissed, but late last week I responded with legal filings that stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution and hope to bring the President, and our United States government, back under the rule of law.

I wanted to email you this news today to update you on our efforts and to thank you for your help and support.  Thank you also for your continued dedication to a better democracy.

Sincerely,

Halliburton secretly doing business with key member of Iran's nuclear team
Feb 10, 2006

Reviewed by Pla Her

Circumventing laws that prohibit conducting business with countries that the Bush administration claims sponsor terrorism, Halliburton secretly worked with one of Iran's top nuclear scientists on natural gas related projects and, according to sources at Halliburton, sold the scientist's oil company key components for a nuclear reactor.

Sign Petition: Investigate Illegal US Wiretapping
Jan 21, 2006
Focus: Civil Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
It now appears that President Bush conducted illegal wiretaps on American citizens. We're calling for a special prosecutor to investigate. Can you help reach 250,000 signers before Congress holds hearings on this matter in early February?

Sign the Petition
Dear MoveOn member,
As you probably saw in the news this morning, the Bush administration is facing growing backlash from across the political spectrum on its secret, allegedly illegal wiretapping program. Even conservative leaders like Grover Norquist are calling for investigations.1 Yesterday, the administration released yet another legal defense—but many of the arguments were already debunked by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service.2
Breaking the law to spy on American citizens is a very serious abuse of power, but many members of Congress think people will let it slide. So we're launching a petition that asks for a special prosecutor—like Patrick Fitzgerald—to find out the facts, and asks Congress to hold a real investigation into what happened. We're also asking for protection for whistleblowers who come forward with evidence of wrongdoing.
Can you help us reach 250,000 signers before we deliver it at the Congressional hearings on President Bush's wiretaps in early February? Just go to:
On Monday, former Vice President Al Gore gave a speech about the program, where he said: "What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the president of the United States has been breaking the law, repeatedly and persistently."
