George Orwell on war

"Every war, when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac."

What is war?

"War, at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off." — Karl Kraus, writer (1874- 1936).

Saint or communist?

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Brazilian archbishop Dom Helder Camara

DFA: Impeach Gonzales petition

Sign-on as a Citizen Co-Sponsor Congress is beginning to get it. After years of evidence that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is both an embarrassment and a danger to the Justice Department, The Seattle Times reports that Congressman Jay Inslee (D-WA), “will introduce a resolution today directing the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should be impeached.”¹

Democracy for America has been pushing Congress to take this action for months. Over 80,000 members have already petitioned their representatives.²

Now that we’ve made real progress on Capitol Hill, will you show your support for the impeachment resolution by becoming a Citizen Co-Sponsor?

As The New York Times wrote this weekend, “Americans have been waiting for months for Mr. Bush to fire Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who long ago proved that he was incompetent and more recently proved that he can’t tell the truth. Mr. Bush refused to fire him after it was clear Mr. Gonzales lied about his role in the political purge of nine federal prosecutors.”³

Our wait for justice could soon be over. The Gonzales impeachment resolution is already co-sponsored by five members of Congress. All of them are former prosecutors. Will you join them? It is urgent that Congress hears from you and your friends today!

Thank you for what you have done to move Congress to this point. We still have lots of work ahead of us in order to return integrity to the Justice Department. But, because of you, we are making progress. Tom Hughes Executive Director
