Now, Tony Snow has to fend off questions about Cindy Sheehan, Pentagon Papers Hero Daniel Ellsberg and others pushing for impeachment by hiding behind Nancy Pelosi. The same Speaker of the House who joined with Senate Majority Leader Reid sending a "hell no" letter denouncing Bush's plans to escalate the war. What a difference a week makes.
We will build on these openings, sustaining our "Peace Surge" until the war is over, we've prevented the next war(s), and the criminals who lied us into war face real justice. Join us in D.C. January 27-29. Use the links at the bottom of this message to make your Senators and Representative and the media listen to you. Organize. Speak out. "De-escalate, Investigate, Bring the Troops Home Now!" -- Mike Hersh and Matthew Gerbasi, PDA
