Truth-Tellers vs. War-Sellers
On Tuesday evening we may have to choose between two riveting moments of televised drama. George W. Bush takes to the airwaves tomorrow to persuade the nation that Cheney was correct in describing the Iraqi insurgency as in its "last throes," and that freedom is indeed "on the march" ... although it is "hard work." At or near the same time, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, and Barbara Lee will be presenting "Special Orders" speeches about the Downing Street Minutes on the House floor, hopefully covered by C-SPAN cameras. These three Profiles in Courage need our help.
Conyers, Waters, and Lee are asking that we contact our Congress persons to request that they take part in the Special Orders speeches, thus helping to educate the American public about how they were duped into an unnecessary war. Here is a link for a sample letter, etc.:
AfterDowningStreet.org and other groups are also planning a special day of recognition for the third anniversary of the Downing Street meeting that led to the revelations in the Minutes/Memos. They are hoping to organize house parties and other events across the country on July 23, 2005, in order to attract the media scrutiny that these important documents deserve:
Also, please don't forget to support our Gold Star Families for Peace, who are trying to get the truth out about the DSM and to do the real work of supporting our troops:
