December Action Items We thought we won on November 7th! What we forgot is that George Bush is still holding the reins to foreign policy and that his rubber-stamp Congress is still in session! Far from being a Do-Nothing Congress, they are a Do-Evil Congress, and they have been very busy. Already they passed the Nukes for Mangos bill which will accelerate the nuclear race, and the AETA act which claims animal rights activists are terrorists! http://noaeta.org/whyoppose.htm And they are about to give a free pass to Robert Gates- liar extraordinaire of the Reagan era to continue to] confabulate with Bush and Cheney. We must pressure our representatives to stop the toxic Bush agenda! So please forgive the barrage of petitions being offered here, but they are all equally critical and I ask you to do as many of them as you can handle. Since you are busy, I have cornered them all here for you: 1. Sign Code Pinks Mandate for Peace: http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/codepink/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=394 2. Protect our coastlines from drilling: http://audubonaction.org/campaign/ocs_lameduck 3. Stop the outrageous destruction of EPA libraries by the EPA!
