Default Censure President Bush (with link to petition)

Go to http://www.moveon.org/censure/ to fill out a form requesting that President Bush be censured. Below is some text that explains what this is all about :


The response to our "Censure" campaign has been incredible. In just days, more than 250,000 people have joined our call on Congress to censure President Bush for misleading us in his rush to war -- a response among the strongest we've ever seen.

The response was so strong, in fact, that you may have had trouble accessing our website to sign on. We've now taken steps to ensure that you'll be able to get through.

Tomorrow, we'll present our campaign to Congress at a press conference in Washington. We'll be joined by former top intelligence officers and by parents whose children have been injured and killed while serving in the military in Iraq.

With your help, we can make our statement even more powerful -- we're aiming for 300,000 signatures on our petition by tomorrow. We can also reach a major milestone in MoveOn's history: our two-millionth U.S. member. True Majority, Working Assets, and the Win Without War coalition are also joining us in this campaign.


I also urge anyone not interested, and for those interested in this campaign to read this article http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/7914462.htm about the omissions (made by Bush and his administration) from the intelligence reports. It clearly shows that the American people were deceived.

Thanks for the link AJAX. I signed up promptly. The bullsh*tting of America was one of the most disgraceful acts of a presidential administration I have ever seen.

More disgraseful then what the Clintons did? I think not. Yea, Bush has BS'ed us, just like every other politico. But the man can't hold a candle to the Clintons, John Kerry, and the rest of the 'democratic' hopefulls.

Here's a link to put a muzzle on Hillary.

Not a huge Clinton fan, but I will say I have never spent the week coordinating buglers to play taps at funerals because of a BJ.

Clinton may not have been able to keep his pants zipped when he should have, but he did keep the budget balanced and actually had job GROWTH during his administration, unlike Bush, under whom we have hemmorhaged over 2.4 million jobs over the past four years.

okay, let's give credit where credit is due. clinton had the opposing party in control who wouldn't give him most of the things he wanted. so, gridlock =lower spending.
and to give clinton credit for balancing the budget is another misnomer...a large section of the gov't revenues came form capital gains...which evaporated in 2000 when the economy went south. while there was job growth in the 1990's, it would be wrong to equate it to clinton being in office.
actually, i think, one of the best things that could happen to the northeast is a healthy europe and a free trade agreement with them. the west coast benefits from asian trade. the gulf from energy and trade from mexico/s. america. the east is a geographic natural with europe.
while none o this is to justify bush, it shoudl help to dispel some of the things wrongly credited to clinton.

Really, far be it from me to bring up the sales of our Missle Tech to 'private' companies in China Authorized by Clinton.

Or the fact that he is on record as being the President who's claimed executive privale more times then any of president in the history of our nation...And yes, he's done it more then RN and LBJ.

Yea we have lost alot of jobs, guess where they all went? And guess who's Presidental signature is on those outsourcing treaties. :deal?: ..Ya know, the ones set to go into effect after he left office in 2000?

What president laid the foundations for all the treatis dealing with outsourcing, and shunting ecconomic growth after a set amount of years?

Who turned down the Syrian Govt when they offered to hand over Osama Bin Laden in 1997?

Clinton was/is a master of trying to take credit for things he never really accomplished, and a master at hiding his failures and quietly directing blame to others.

Ya wanna muzzle Bush? Fine, as long as you muzzle every other presidental hopeful, and a number of congressmen and senate.

Actually Geno, given Clinton's role in killing our national defense and intelligence, I would say that all of the reasons for playing taps since and including 9/11 would fall on his shoulders.

True sponge. How I interprete our Treason Law's, he's litterally guilty of Treason, on many aspects.

No Sponge, that's not true. That's Rush Limbaugh bullsh*t. I don't like Clinton or Bush, but I was in the Army under both. No difference. Pretty much the same funding on equipment and personnel. Clinton didn't kill our National Defense. The Army he handed of to "W" rolled through Iraq without a problem. Now they want to keep us around to build a democracy there? Preposterous. Bush Sr. cut defense at the end of the cold war, and rightly so. The war in Iraq was the Bush Administration's baby and that's where people are dying.
