Hey Kossacks-

Check out DFA's new ad on Alberto Gonzales!

As America's top cop, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should be protecting our Constitution and the rule of law.

Instead, he is using the Justice Department for political purposes: from purging prosecutors he doesn't agree with to covering up for the Bush gang's illegal surveillance programs -- and lying about it all to Congress.

It's time to impeach Gonzales. DFA has a new TV ad to amplify our message. Can you contribute $15 right now and get this ad on the air?

Republicans are so afraid of President Bush that they are filibustering a vote to end the war. Republicans were expecting the Democratic leadership to fold up and go home.

Not this time!

Four years ago this week something changed American politics forever. Howard Dean introduced "The Bat," and his campaign upended the conventional wisdom about how campaigns are financed.

Four years later, we take it for granted that campaigns will use the Internet for fundraising. But guess what? There's more to it than putting up a webpage and sending out an email.

Tomorrow night, DFA's Night School will focus on online fundraising as part of our 2007 Summer Semester on campaign fundraising. We will be joined by experts in online fundraising: Zack Exley and ActBlue!

Fundraising: Online and Email
Tuesday, June 26th -- 8:30pm Eastern
RSVP: http://www.dfalink.com/...

Zack Exley was the Director for Online Organizing and Communications for the Kerry-Edwards campaign in 2004. He has also worked with MoveOn.org and the Dean for America campaign.

Since its founding in 2004, ActBlue has helped raise over $23 million online for Democratic candidates across the country. Karl-Thomas Musselman and Erin Hill will join us on the call.

Tuesday night they will be sharing their knowledge of online fundraising with you and everyone

After years of research and aggressive attempts by several governments to water down the scientific evidence, the United Nations released a new global warming report that studies the facts and lays bare the dangers in no uncertain terms. If we don't take action right now to curb greenhouse gases, the Earth's future is bleak.

A planetary landscape ravaged by floods, millions of species sentenced to extinction, more than a billion people in need of water, and extreme food shortages in third world nations are some of the worst effects warned about in the report.

Climate change is a global crisis and our next President will have to take strong action to make change happen. Will you petition the presidential candidates to share their bold plan to lead America forward and reverse the effects of Global Warming?

Cross posted from Blog for America.

Two weeks ago when DFA endorsed Ned Lamont, we did so because he is the right candidate for US Senate. A successful business man, Ned has the skills and experience needed to promote fiscally responsible legislation.

Ned believes--like most Americans--that we need a solution to the war in Iraq. And with the support of over 60,000 DFA and MoveOn members, not to mention countless others in Connecticut, Ned Lamont is an active member of the grassroots movement. Read More

This morning, USA Today published a major cover story reporting that the "National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans." If you use AT&T, Verizon or BellSouth, your personal and business phone records may have been turned over to the NSA.

Time and time again, studies have shown paper ballots to be the most reliable of voting systems, especially in comparison to electronic voting machines. Why? Because they leave a paper trail—a tangible, hand-held record of your vote. It's not rocket science—it's horse sense. Read More

Since Friday, the netroots have raised over $100,000 for Ciro Rodriguez's March 7 primary challenge against DINO (Democrat in Name Only) Henry Cuellar.

Because of your contributions, the Rodriguez campaign has been able to produce a powerful advertisement showing Henry Cuellar sitting with the Republicans at the State of the Union and getting a disturbingly warm embrace from President Bush. It will go up on air later this week.

Future Congressman Ciro Rodriguez is going to take some time out of his incredibly busy schedule this Thursday, February 16 to personally say "thank you." I'd like to invite you to join the call:

"Our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out ... and back home a few opportunists are suggesting they were sent into battle for a lie."

That's what the Vice President says about you.

Dick Cheney has made himself the name-caller in chief, referring to critics of the forged White House case for war—people like you and me—as not only "dishonest and reprehensible," but also "corrupt and shameless." He's the perfect man to say that. He knows "corrupt and shameless" personally. And on Monday he'll prove it again ... by keynoting a gala fundraiser for indicted congressman and GOP machine boss Tom DeLay.

UPDATE: Thanks for your support! I wanted to expand on my point by linking to some comments I saw in the dKos community -- see below ...

Over the last week, we here at Democracy for America have received an influx of questions and comments regarding the Iraq war pledge. We spotted this representative one:

How does this convince anyone who wasn't already convinced? Especially for the vast middle of people who don't like Iraq but are leery of the US setting a timeline for "cutting and running" … ?

Here’s what we say in response: tens of thousands of grassroots activists, candidates and officeholders have signed the pledge. (You can see the signatories here.) And they had powerful reasons for doing it. Read More

Paul Hackett sent this out to the DFA email list earlier today. Paul ran a great campaign. And on election night next year -- when we take back Congress -- it will be noted that the tide turned on August 2, 2005 in the OH-2.

Thank you Paul.

And a huge "THANK YOU" to everyone who believe.

Yesterday, one of the reddest regions in America turned a whole lot bluer.

We've heard you loud and clear -- the press has done a terrible job of telling the American people about how the Downing Street Memo all but confirms the lies that led to the Iraq war. That leaves us with the job of telling our fellow Americans the truth -- and that's why today, we're joining with sites like DowningStreetMemo.com and AfterDowningStreet.com by launching an effort to help you spread the word: Read More
