    Jan 28th, We the People are going to Meet the Press
    Congress is not the only Bush Enabler- they could not have done it without the complete complicity of the corporate media. This is our chance to give them an earful.
    Double the power of this weekend’s DC Protest, march on the Capitol with UFPJ Saturday the 27th, then STAY to march on the TV Stations bright and early Sunday Morning. Bush, Cheney, Pelosi and the rest of the politicians do not want the crowd to stay.... are you going to (…)

    Dear Mr. President,
    Thanks for your address to the nation. It’s good to know you still want to talk to us after how we behaved in November.
    Listen, can I be frank? Sending in 20,000 more troops just ain’t gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year!
