Offensive Attack on Free Speech

I haven't blogged in a while, because Twitter is easier and faster.

Subject: Join us - special briefing from Rep. Doggett, actress Edie Falco, and more
To:[redacted]

Dear [redacted]:

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the lobbyist-funded right-wing extremists making trouble at town halls all across America.

These disruptions are funded by special interests like the insurance companies, who want to kill health care reform as quickly as possible.¹ They're trying to make sure nobody can have a productive, rational conversation about what health care reform will do for you and me. We can't let them stifle debate or we will not win health care reform this year.

So, we've organized a special briefing with Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett, actress Edie Falco, Richard Kirsch, Health Care for America Now's National Campaign Director, and Dan Heck, a regional director for Working America and Health Care for America Now to get the facts out about health care reform, find out what's at stake, and learn what you and I can do to help pass reform.

Can you join us for a special briefing on Tuesday, August 11th at 9 pm EST (6 pm PST) to learn about health care reform and how to right back against the lobbyist-funded right-wing? Click here to RSVP.

We've lined up some speakers on the call who really know what they're talking about.

Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett talk about his experiences with these disruption tactics and what you can expect. Actress and advocate Edie Falco will tell you what's at stake. Richard Kirsch, our National Campaign Director, will talk about our historic progress on passing health reform and what we need to do to get it over the finish line. And Dan Heck, a regional director for Working America and Health Care for America Now who's out there every day talking to real people about this issue will give you tips on how to combat some of the biggest myths out there on health reform and how to get involved in your community.

Can you join us for this special briefing with Representative Doggett, Edie Falco, Richard Kirsch, Dan Heck, and thousands of activists and organizers like you and me? Click here to RSVP for the call on Tuesday, August 11th at 9 pm EST (6pm PST).

We'll also take questions for the speakers. You can submit a question you'd like to ask when you sign up to RSVP for the training call.

It's crucial that we're out there busting myths and promoting health reform every day in August while Congress is back at home, listening to their voters.

Please join us!

To your health,

Levana Layendecker
Health Care for America Now

P.S. We've been busy loading hundreds of local town hall events into our system. It's crucial supporters of health care reform get out and make our voices heard this month while Congress is home listening to you. Click here to go to our homepage and search for events in your area.

VOTE FRAUD PAID FOR BY

DEMOCRATS

Obama has paid ACORN $800,000.

The Democrat Sec. of State in Ohio, Ms Brunner,
has criminally refused to tell the county Boards of Election
about the 200,000 mismatched voter registrations.

Obama can only win thru vote fraud.

Honest people will not vote for him.

See ACE for more details.

Prediction

1st Lt. Ehren Watada, 28, of Honolulu, is charged with refusing to ship out with his unit and conduct unbecoming an officer for accusing the Army of war crimes and denouncing the administration for conducting an “illegal war” founded on “lies.”

He will be convicted on all counts by the General Courts Martial, and he will receive the maximum sentence permitted.

He will appeal to the Army Court of Appeals (or whatever they call it.) He will claim his rights were trampled because the Courts Martial did not allow him to argue the legality of the Iraq War. He will lose this appeal, convection and full sentence will be upheld.

He will appeal to the Court of Military Appeals. They will not hear the appeal.

He will appeal to the US Supreme Court.
They will take the case. They will allow arguments on the legality of the war.
Stephens and Ginsburg will declare the war illegal.
Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito will uphold the legality of the war.
Kennedy, Breyer, and Souter are questionable, but I think they will uphold the legality of the US military action in Iraq.

Final answer:
7-2 the military action in Iraq will be declared legal.
9-0 the convictions and sentence will be upheld.


The military action in Iraq is legal under US law:
The US Congress Authorized the Use of Military Force and
The President has used military force in Iraq following the limitations within the AUMF.
The United Nations also authorized the use of force. (only a minor item, of obeying treaty requirements.)
The US Congress has periodically re-authorized the use of military force by funding the effort.


Lt. Watada please enjoy your time at Fort Leavenworth.
And your Dishonorable Discharge as Pvt. Watada.
And Mr. Watada, do remember to include this Federal Felony Conviction on all future job applications.

Mr Watada, your stunt of joining the Army, after the military action in Iraq began and then refusing to follow your deployment orders -- will not led to the impeachment of President Bush. It will not get the President accused of war crimes.

MSNBC Poll: Should Bush be impeached?

This is what I posted to the comments at Hotair:

NSA Monitoring of Terrorists - LEGAL - Authorized by the AUMF in both 2001 and 2003. These are international calls. NSA can and should be monitoring them. (I can write a better decision than the biased judge in Michigan.)

SWIFT Monitoring of suspected financial transactions - LEGAL - the NYT admitted it was legal. This has stopped terrorism.

Lies leading to war. NONE - The US Senate has investigated and found there were no lies. This doesn’t even include the fact that Senators and Congressmen can request and receive more detailed briefings, they are supposed to provide oversight to our intelligence community. The lazy Senators and Congressmen did not bother.

President Bush has committed no crimes, But go ahead investigate, even go so far as to bring it to a floor vote in the House…It wouldn’t pass, Bush will not be impeached.

The investigations will simply prove Bush pushed the limits of his authority to defend this nation.

But 87% of the responders at MSNBC - want to impeach President Bush and welcome President Cheney.

The Democratic desperation to get 'payback' for the Impeachment of President Clinton, Who did commit Perjury, Who did have Sexual Relations with an Intern, Some Democrats want to Impeach Bush regardless of whether any crime has been committed or whether the impeachment investigations will increase the danger of a terrorist attack on US soil.
