BUSH STEP DOWN, and Take Your Program With You!
The Bush regime’s blatantly illegal NSA spying program is
making it through Congressional
hearings without any real challenge or threat of impeachment. The USA PATRIOT
Act is now set to be renewed with only the most minor changes, making it a permanent law. The “unitary executive” theory ( the
unchecked
power of the President – is now becoming the governing norm. And after all
the hullabaloo, leading Democrats have (again) sat back and let all this pass,
even giving much of it their support. [more]
“There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous
course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED…We must, and can, aim to
create a political situationwhere the Bush regime’s program is
repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the
whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our
millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of
history. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.” –from the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime
Message from World Can’t Wait National Steering Committee:
When the President used the State of
the Union address January 31 to relentlessly push his case for unending war on
the world, unimpeded domestic spying, faith-based initiatives and an attack on
stem cell research and abortion, some reported this as a “moderate speech
with no new proposals.” But there
was a different response in the streets of more than 60 cities, when tens of
thousands perceived Bush’s address as a State of Emergency. Then, Saturday,
over two thousand came right to the White House to demand “Bush Step Down
and Take Your Program with You!” [more]
The International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration
released its preliminary findings Thursday, Feb. 2, at the National
Press Club in Washington DC. The Commission indicted the
Bush regime on 5 counts:
1) Wars of Aggression,
2) Torture and Indefinite Detention,
3) Destruction of the Global Environment,
4) Attacks on Global Public Health & Reproductive Rights; and
5) Knowing Failure to Protect Life During Hurricane Katrina.

The protests on Jan. 31st & Feb. 4 show that a
movement to drive out the Bush regime is coming together, involving a
broad array of people – from ministers to movie stars to the parents of
soldiers who died in Iraq; from writers to congresspeople to
scientists; from lawyers to activists to students to those who’ve quit
this regime in disgust; to thousands and thousands of “ordinary people.”
But this movement urgently needs the funds to connect with millions
more who want a vehicle to change the direction of society, with more
ads in newspapers and radio. And it needs the funds to sustain offices
in NYC and Washington DC, and to pay off debt incured from this weeks
state of emergency protests.
To make this happen, we need donations large and small – but especially large – immediately! And before writing your check, consider this: Your government suppresses the science that
doesn’t fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing
present and future generations to pay a terrible price. How much is it worth to you to change the whole direction of society?
