After the March: Impeach Bush!
Between 100,000 and 300,000, depending on who's estimate you choose, anti-way protestors marched and rally in Washington DC on Saturday, Sept. 24. It was the largest anti-gay March since the U.S. (illegal) invasion of Iraq.

The majority of Americans now oppose the way and want to bring the troops home, so the anti-war movement now represents the MAJORITY of the American people!

The pro-war rallies, that were expecting 20,000, only drew a hundred or fewer people!

It is time now to focus on impeaching George W. Bush for high crimes. It is a crime to invade another country which did not attack the United States. Bush misled (lied) to justify the invasion of Iraq and he and his administration misled the American people and the world to "fix" intelligence data to justify the war.

Where is the Democratic Party? The base of the party is energized to stop the war and impeach Bush, but where is the leadership in the Democratic Party? The Democratic Party must stand up and demand the impeachment of Bush and Cheney!

Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark has drafted Articles of Impeachment . You can vew them and Vote to impeach Bush at www.impeachbush.org

A National Disgrace!
If he had any conscience, George W. Bush would resign now! He failed to heed the intelligence warnings about terrorism prior to 9-11, and his administration failed to prepare and respond to hurricane Katrina, and thousands of people have died because of his ineptitude.

FEMA and other experts have been warning for years about the consequences of a category 4 or 5 hurricane hitting New Orleans, a city below sea level with a levee system in dire need of improvements to protect the city from a certain flood. Not only were these warnings ignored, the Bush administration actually CUT federal funding to repair the levees and water pumps, moving money into "homeland security" and Iraq. The national guard, which should have been there to protect the people in their home states, were also deployed to Iraq.

The tragedy in New Orleans also underscores the consequences of racial and economic inequality in American society. The mostly white middle and upper classes left before the Hurricane, leaving mostly black poor people behind, with no transportation or money to escape on their own. It is another example of institutionalized racism, as the black underclass is ignored by American politicians, government and the public.

Where are the Democrats? The Democratic Party must get a backbone and stand up for the poor, working class and other oppressed groups suffering under George W. Bush and the fascist Republican Party.
