Public Opposes Wars, Will Our Representatives?

Here is how to phone them, what to ask them to commit to, and where to report what they say.

here VERY helpful vote chart on how Representatives Were-Are/Were Not -Are NOT voting and more. Plz CALL YOUR REP NOW! Get out the word!

There are two bills you can ask them to sign onto, but because bills must be passed by the Senate and signed by the President as well, a stronger commitment from your Representative in the House is a commitment to vote No on war funding bills. If the House blocks a war funding bill, neither the Senate nor the President can continue a war.

Daybreak Tour Heads to PA, ME, MA, and CA

The Daybreak book tour is rolling along and has stopped in 20 of the scheduled 48 cities already. The Miami, Fla., stop saw a hall packed to capacity with a crowd standing in the back and unable to get in, and the evening filmed by C-Span's Book TV. Watch for it on your television or computer in the coming weeks.

Air America host Nicole Sandler introduced the event in Miami and hosted a discussion of it last night on her show.

Please buy the book at your real-world book stores, which is what encourages them to stock greater quantities and display them more prominently.

Here's the complete tour schedule.

Comments are worrisome to say least and hopefully are exaggerated... "This is in my view the best comment: The solution to this Government in crisis is not a new brave Senator, it's not a new brave Party and now we finally realize it is not a new brave President. It is a new Government by a new brave citizenry.
