[Mb-civic] Congress is Back! Demand Action on Resolution of Inquiry

[Democrats.com]

Cindy Sheehan on Bush's Dangerous Incompetence

"George Bush has been an incompetent failure his entire life. Fortunately, for humanity, he was just partying his way through school, running companies into the ground and being an alcoholic and cocaine abuser for most of that time and his incompetence was limited to hurting the people who worked for him and his own family. The people in his life who were hurt by his incompetence probably have been able to "get on" with their lives. Now, though, his incompetence affects the world and is responsible for so many deaths and so much destruction. How many of us did not foresee the mess he would make of the world when he was selected the first time? We saw what he had done to Texas. How many of us marvelled and were so discouraged and amazed when he was "re-elected" the second time? We saw what he had done to the world. Dangerous incomptence should never be rewarded, let alone be rewarded so handsomely as in George's case."

Resolution of Inquiry into Bush Lies: Time for Action

Congress is back in session after summer break, and there are now 61 co-sponsors of Barbara Lee's Resolution of Inquiry into the Downing Street Memos - including one Republican member of the International Relations Committee, Jim Leach.  A vote in committee will come between Sept. 6 and Sept. 15.  Now is the time to contact YOUR congress member.  Whether or not they serve on the IR Committee, we need them to co-sponsor the Resolution.  They come back to work on Tuesday.  Call them first thing!
