What can we as individuals do about Bush's torture policy?

[greenman3610]

I am scrambling to keep up.
Where are we in this process, and
who can we contact?
After watching Countdown tonight,
I am convinced this is a crucial moment.

2. Something is up -

after the Chimps meltdown today at the Press Conference and all the scrambling over the Geneva Convention's Common Article 3, I really think some serious shit is about to hit the fan. Even Colin Powell says it all stinks - he's been such a good little republicant over the years...makes you go hummmmm.

6. Even Colin Powell?

Colin Powell is it. He's a lot more powerful than we might think. The military have pretty much gone along with Bushista BS because Colin did. When he criticizes, no matter how little it seems to us mortals, it's big. It means the military is going to pull the Commander-in-chief in for some military questions.

No wonder bunnypants is sweating all over the place and losing control. I think he still can be court martialed for being AWOL. Of course DUers more familiar with the military can confirm this.

This may be the start of something big.

4. As individuals? Nothing!

Or next to nothing. Organize, organize, organize. Then do something as a part of a movement. Talk to your neighbors, your friends, folks you associate with... whatever, and do something.

Here is what one group suggests:
http://actagainsttorture.org/ten_things.html

(Okay, you could do some of those things by yourself, but like many other things in life, its best done with others...)

Or maybe organize an amnesty international chapter.

Thanks so much for being motivated to take action.

away from the computer monitors and into the streets!

5. Don't Worry, The Brave Congressional Democrats Have Got Your Back

They'll use every tool at their disposal to ensure that Americans retain their basic civil liberties, and that America will live up to its obligations of providing basic human rights to combatants.

7. Run....grab your kids and run.....

9. Remind all your friends to vote Democratic in November.

Walk precincts.
Observe at the polls.
Donate until it hurts.

Gawd! We've all got some heavy work to do.
