Today, I received a YouTube preview from PunkVoter.com (via their MySpace bulletins) for the "Iraq for Sale" documentary. Whether you support the war or don't. Whether you support the troops or don't. Whether you support Bush or don't. The documentary is a must see:
Iraq For Sale
In other news:
Just when you were about to write off the conspiracy theorists on the extreme far end of our side of the political fence as a bunch of nutjobs who made a lucky guess on domestic spying, Bush proves them right, yet again, with The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. (For those of you just joining our new world order in progress, according to this vague directive, if any disaster befalls us that results in some undefined level of casualties or chaos, the President becomes dictator and stays dictator.) You can read about it here:

Had enough? Tell Nancy Pelosi to put impeachment back on the table.

From Russ Feingold:
A Republican Senator is trying to derail my campaign finance disclosure bill, and I need your help to figure out who it is.
http://ga1.org/ct/r1euNo71yjWP/
My legislation, the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act (S. 223), requires Senate campaigns to submit campaign finance reports electronically. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? House campaigns, political parties, Presidential campaigns, and even 527's already file their reports online - but that's not the case in the Senate.
The Senate has exempted themselves from this requirement and is only required to file paper reports. The public's ability to review these reports in a timely manner is substantially curtailed by these antiquated paper filings. Not only that, it costs taxpayers over $250,000 per year to have these reports scanned and made available online at a much later date.
When Senator Feinstein and I sought to pass this legislation by unanimous consent, an objection was voiced on the floor "on behalf of a Republican senator." Senators are within their rights to object to a bill coming to the floor of the Senate, but the objecting senator has not been named, and no one has spoken to me about any objection they may have to this legislation.
The use of these so-called "secret holds" has rightly come under attack in recent years, and I need your help to try and determine who may be delaying this common sense reform measure.
If you are represented by a Republican senator, please contact them and ask if they're holding up my Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act. You can get contact info for your senators here: http://ga1.org/ct/r1euNo71yjWP/
If you live in a state with two Democratic senators, consider forwarding this email to your friends in states that aren't so lucky.
If you learn of anything that may be useful in helping me identify the "Secret Hold Senator," email me at russ@progressivepatriotsfund.com.
I have no intention of dropping this issue and I appreciate your help in keeping the pressure on to try and identify this anonymous objector.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold
