Huge Opportunity to Gather Impeachment Votes, Oct 27 Antiwar Demonstration, Oppose Mukasey and More

We have some choice words to say about the proposed replacement for
made man Alberto Gonzales, who some sources are suggesting is likely
to be prosecuted for his perjury before Congress.

But first, if you can attend one of the 11 massive antiwar
demonstrations this weekend, Oct. 27, in Boston, Chicago, Jonesboro
(TN), Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia,
Salt Lake City, San Francisco or Seattle, this would be a PERFECT
place to wear your Impeach Cheney? cap and gather votes for the
National Cheney Impeachment Poll.

Vote Gathering Sheets: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_votesheet.php

You could earn your Impeach Team varsity letter in just one day, by
collecting 200 additional votes for the poll. Let us not squander
this opportunity to extend the impact of these events beyond the day
itself, by giving all participants other ways to speak out on an
ongoing basis.

If anyone has anything to say about the cap at all you put a vote
sheet in their hands and say,

"It's a poll, here, vote."

and you'll gather votes like crazy!

If you don't have your cap yet, you can get one for free for helping
to support the huge college postering campaign we are just about to
kick off, and you'll have it for the next one.

Reject An Attorney General Who Won't Up Hold The Law

At his senate hearing, Michael B. Mukasey, President Bush’s nominee
for attorney general, was plainly asked if the president is required
to obey federal statutes.

Not only did he refuse to answer that question with an unqualified
"Yes", the basis for his refusal was basically that a war president
can do whatever he likes, the catchall Constitution buster of the
current administration.

We knew up front that there was no chance that the Cheney
administration would willingly tender a nominee who would even
contemplate holding them accountable in any way for their wholesale
defiance of the law. When the position of Gonzales became untenable,
they went ideological crony shopping and found a willing collaborator
in Mukasey. But that doesn't mean we're not supposed to vociferously
object.

While otherwise being diplomatically polite, former assistant U.S.
attorney, and professor of constitutional law at Yale Law School, Jed
Rubenfeld, editorialized in the New York Times this week that, "If
Judge Mukasey cannot say plainly that the president must obey a valid
statute, he ought not to be the nation’s next attorney general.

But of course Mukasey has already placed his compromised position in
the record. There is nothing left for him to do now but try to snake
around his real character, as some judicial nominees we could
mention, who implemented their full, hardcore, right wing agendas
only after confirmation.

There can be no redemption for this nominee. Our job is to keep
throwing them back, and not tire, until and unless we get one who is
actually acceptable.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
