Dear Kenneth,
The growing nationwide movement to Indict Bush and other high officials
has led to a sharp change in the political environment inside of
Washington, D.C.
In the last two weeks, more than 63,000 people have
signed up at IndictBushNow.
Please make a donation today and help keep the groundswell growing. Click here to make an
online donation or see how to send a check.
A new, broad coalition of 30 national organizations has come together
today and issued the following statement:
| “We urge Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint
a non-partisan independent Special Counsel to immediately commence a
prosecutorial investigation into the most serious alleged crimes of
former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Richard B.
Cheney, the attorneys formerly employed by the Department of Justice
whose memos sought to justify torture, and other former top officials
of the Bush Administration.” |
The pressure from the
grassroots is making the difference. Please make another urgently
needed donation today.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers has proposed extending
to 10 years the statute of limitations on war crimes, torture, domestic
surveillance and other crimes.
In a report issued this month, Congressman Conyers and 47 other
congressional representatives called for “extending the statute of
limitations for potential violations of the torture statute, war crimes
statute, laws prohibiting warrantless domestic surveillance, or for
crimes committed against persons in United States military custody or
CIA custody to 10 years.”
“To be clear, torture is currently banned under United States laws
(under the anti-torture statute, the War Crimes Act, the Geneva
Conventions, and the Detainee Treatment Act),” states the Congressional
report.
All of us together are making a difference and
we can have a huge impact. Nothing is more important for restoring the
meaning of the constitution than holding high officials accountable.
Because of Bush's and Cheney's actions, more than 1 million people died
in Iraq; tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers and marines were badly
wounded or killed in a war of aggression; the people lost their right
to privacy in a massive government spying operation; thousands of
people endured torture and had all due process rights extinguished; and
the nation’s economy was so badly trashed that millions of people have
lost their jobs, their homes and their pensions.
Ramsey Clark appealed last week for all of us to act and we are! We are
now engaged in massive outreach and publicity. In the next days we will
be announcing national call-in days to pressure Congressional
representatives. We are carrying out intensive media work, and
providing literature for people of conscience to distribute in cities
and towns across the country.
On March 21, we will be organizing large-scale IndictBushNow
contingents at big protests that are scheduled for Washington, D.C.,
Los Angeles and San Francisco. These demonstrations will mark the 6th
anniversary of Bush’s criminal “shock and awe” invasion of Iraq.
We can’t do all this
work without the continued financial support of you and thousands of
others. Please consider making a donation today.
--All of us at IndictBushNow
