We

stakes of this moment, where Bush’s NSA spying has been revealed, the
Alito hearings just began, and the Patriot Act is up for renewel. In
the midst of all this, imagine what it will mean for ads to run in
newspapers across the country demanding the BUSH STEP DOWN.

Listen to a new message from Debra Sweet- “State of Emergency: 4 Weeks to Make History”:
The future is on the line and you are in the right place. The world urgently needs us to drive out the Bush regime. To this end, the world needs powerful protest by the American people – nation-wide on Tuesday, January 31st
to drown out and denounce Bush’s State of the Union, declaring BUSH
STEP DOWN because we are in a state of emergency, and then the
following Saturday bringing this demand right to the seat of
government, to the seat of power, in Washington DC: BUSH STEP DOWN AND
TAKE YOUR PROGRAM WITH YOU.
As scandals break and crimes of this Bush regime
are revealed before millions, the possibility of driving this regime
from power becomes ever more real, but also ever more urgent, with
exponentially increasing stakes. It is not every day that
major newspapers run editorials accusing the President of impeachable
offenses ( and as this is happening, it must be seized upon. Millions
of people want this President gone from office, and we must reach out
very broadly, uniting with many, many diverse sections of people, and
ensure that this moment of political vulnerability for the regime does
not pass. We need to get to the people who don’t see
how this can happen, who don’t see any other way, and let them know
there is a vehicle. (go to our website to read more or listen)
