Dear Congress: Don’t let the lies kill bank reform =PLEASE SIGN=
Dear Congress: Don’t let the lies kill bank reform
The big banks are running misleading ads claiming that our plan to clamp down on the big banks, including requiring them to pay back the money we gave them before they give themselves bonuses, is a $4 trillion bail out.[1]
These ads are the product of pollster Frank Luntz, the same man helping special interests kill health care reform. Last week, a leaked memo written by Mr. Luntz told opponents that bank reform is so popular the only way to fight it is to make stuff up -- and he generously offered his suggestions.
Please make sure your Congressmember hears from you and as many of your friends and family members as possible. We need them to know: we’re not buying the big banks’ misleading propaganda, and we expect our leaders to stand up to the banks and pass reform.http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0210/Ad_attacks_big_bank_bailout_bill.html
Dick Cheney confessed to a war crime. Prosecute him!!
Dick Cheney confessed to a war crime. Prosecute him!!Dear friends,
On ABC News last weekend, former Vice President Dick Cheney confessed to playing a key role in the commission of war crimes during the Bush administration.
"I was a big supporter of waterboarding," boasted Cheney.
Waterboarding is torture and a war crime. The UN Convention on Torture, the Geneva Conventions, the Red Cross, and constitutional governments around the globe agree on this point of law. More to the point, Attorney General Eric Holder has stated publicly that waterboarding is torture. Cheney's confession legally obligates Holder to prosecute him.

More to the point, Attorney General Eric Holder has stated publicly that waterboarding is torture. Cheney's confession legally obligates Holder to prosecute him.
Cheney apologists will no doubt turn a blind eye to this. But this is the law, plain and simple. The case has been laid out in detail by Andrew Sullivan1, Glenn Greenwald2, and Scott Horton3.
By publicly confessing his role in illegal U.S torture programs, Cheney has created an extraordinary opportunity to hold the Bush administration accountable for its crimes. One that must not -- and indeed legally cannot -- be ignored.
Tell Attorney General Holder that he must prosecute Dick Cheney for torture.

Public Option Whip List — Has your senator taken a stand?
Public Option Whip List — Has your senator taken a stand?Friends,
On Monday, four bold senators -- led by Colorado's Mike Bennet -- wrote a letter calling on Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass the public health insurance option through "reconciliation," which only needs a simple majority in the Senate.
Since then, 18 senators have signed the letter, with more joining each day. The momentum is amazing.
Will you click here to write a thank-you note to these senators for showing leadership on the public option? We'll deliver your note to the senators so they can see how important this issue is -- to all of us.
Senators Bennet, Brown, Merkley, Gillibrand, Kerry, Leahy, Franken, Whitehouse, Burris, Sanders, Feinstein, Reed, Boxer, Udall, Mikulski, Lautenberg, Schumer, and Shaheen have shown bold leadership -- asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass the public health insurance option through reconciliation, which only needs a simple majority in the Senate.
Can you thank them for showing leadership on the public option? We'll deliver your signature (and any note you write) directly to the senators.

Tell Congress to finish health care reform now!
Tell Congress to finish health care reform now!
As politicians fret about the political risks of health care reform instead of fixing our broken system, people are dying.
And last week, that reality hit home. Melanie Shouse, a MoveOn Council leader in St. Louis, passed away from breast cancer while still fighting her insurance company for chemotherapy coverage.
There is a serious cost to inaction on health care—real people's lives. And it's time to remind Washington of this.
I just sent a message to Congress telling them that I stand with Melanie, and it's time to put real people ahead of politics and finish health care reform. Can you join me at the link below?

Single-Payer Healthcare Goes Mainstream In Pennsylvania -- State Democrats Endorse It By Acclamation
It may be premature to suggest that single-payer is on the verge of passing in Pennsylvania, but after the State Democratic Committee unanimously endorsed the Single-Payer Legislation and three Gubernatorial candidates pledged to sign it when it reaches their desks, the light at the end of the tunnel is clearly in sight.
