It's Ironic. This month is shaping up to be the best ever for OpEdNews in terms of number of visitors, hits, page views. Yet we're waaayyy off on fund raising. I am worried, because I will be away for seven days, without access to email. So it's important that we get our contributions in early this month. We've had zero contributions come in the past two days or so far today, even though we're averaging over 30,000 visitors a day to the site. If everyone assumes the other person will pitch in, and contribute, then no-one does. We really need YOU to take a minute or two to make a contribution, $5.00 or $500.00. Please do it today.
Watching Gonzales testify today... part of my job, like cleaning up a toilet's discharge while being told the user of the toilet doesn't have a digestive tract. My nose tells me otherwise. If you ask a liar a question, you get a lie. Then there are the right wingers on Conyer's committee. They suck up to Gonzales and waste the time of the committee.
Gonzales is asked whether anyone has had their rights in any way blocked by the change in the law of habeus corpus. Gonzales doesn't know. This cretin is a worthless puppet-- a placeholder put in place so Bush surrogates can do their work-- people like Monica Goodling. I have very serious doubts about giving her immunity. She's surely a criminal. There ought to be a way to put the fear of incarceration into her. She's too much of a Bush koolaid drinker.
The criminals in the whitehouse and the thugs and morons (but I become redundant) they've appointed are not going to politely leave, as soon as they are caught. They will have to be forcibly evacuated, with a Bush and company rotorooter.
Even Colin Powells aide is now supporting impeachment. Yesterday, 11 republican congressmen talk one of those walks I've been talking about since last fall, to tell georgie bush that he has no credibility, that he is not longer trusted to deliver info on Iraq. What a low, low state our nation has reached.
We will see justice. It won't be long. Today, I called my congressman to tell him NOT to give any money to Bush for the war, not the partial payment being bandied about. Have you called yours? Do it today. Let them know you won't put up with them giving away their power.
Donate today, please. Support YOUR alternative media. Where else do you get the truth?
Thanks,
Rob Kall
