We've got a Democratic President AND a Democratic Congress
It's time we press our government to answer these two questions.

1. 6 months before 9/11, it was said that the NSA approached Qwest in a wiretapping surveillance program of Americans. What was the purpose of this program? And what was the NSA doing exactly?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/12/AR2007101202485.html?hpid=topnews

2. On March 18, 2002, Jack Abramoff told a friend, known as Octagon1, that "I was sitting with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when (your) email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat (sic) is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on."

Congress authorized action against Iraq not until 6 months later, why was a war against Iraq already a done deal for Rove and Abramoff even before Congress authorized a war?

1. I agree
Now might be our only chance for real answers, but since our party is often slow to respond :understatement:
we need to DEMAND some concesssions for the people.

They way the corporate media is going after Democrats, and the way our party is letting the Republicans off the hook for everything...it is not looking good for the 2010 elections. WE have to force our party to start acting in our behalf, which will increase approval ratings and guarantee we maintain control of Congress. If not we are screwed.


Here is something else that need addressing...
