Tell Bush: No More Delays on 'Plan B'

2007-02-14 Thread Craig Talbert
Infamous Sudanese President Bashir has just thumbed his nose at yet another U.S. deadline to cooperate with efforts to end the Darfur genocide. The time for talk is over, it's time to act. The Bush administration has already developed Plan B, a multi-tiered plan to push Sudan to end the

Tell President Bush: No More Last Chances for Genocide

2007-04-30 Thread Craig Talbert
Earlier today, President Bush spoke at a press conference about Darfur. Unfortunately, although he finally offered some specifics about what Plan B will entail, he once again stopped short of enacting and enforcing the sanctions needed to make Sudan cooperate. Instead of announcing the launch

Bush to veto health care bill

2007-07-23 Thread Craig Talbert
Hi, Congress wants to offer free health care to millions of uninsured children. Who could be against that? But President Bush is afraid insuring kids is a slippery slope -- opening the door to affordable health care for everyone. How terrible. Many Republican senators are ignoring Bush in favor

No Demolition without a solution that makes sense

Dear Friend, During the worst housing crisis in New Orleans history, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is pushing a deeply flawed plan to demolish thousands of units of affordable housing, with plans to rebuild only a fraction. If HUD gets its way, the majority of affordable

Stop pimping prejudice.

Dear Friend, CREDO Action (from Working Assets) is sponsoring a petition to force the media to focus on honest journalism over prejudiced, sensationalist punditry. Journalists have been replaced by a punditocracy that makes its living (and gets its kicks) by perverting our democratic process.
