-FEATURED ACTION-
President Bush: Fire Karl Rove
When it first came to light that someone in the White House had leaked the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA operative working to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction, President Bush vowed that he would find -- and fire -- the responsible parties. Now, Karl Rove's lawyers have admitted that he revealed Plame's identity to at least one journalist before the first stories were published. It's time for the President to hold Rove accountable and fire him.

Rove's political retribution against Plame didn't stop there; he also launched a coordinated campaign to smear both her and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Ambassador Wilson, you'll recall, was the one who publicly disproved the President's infamous claim that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium from Africa.

-ACTIVISM OPPORTUNITY-
Tell the Senate to Support Stem Cell Research
In coming days, the Senate will vote on S. 471, the Stem Cell Research and Enhancement Act. This legislation -- which has already passed the House, despite White House opposition -- will remove the ban on embryonic stem cell research that the President imposed in 2001. It will apply only to surplus cell lines from fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded.

Stem cell research offers enormous promise to help remedy a wide range of ailments, from spinal cord injuries to Alzheimer's disease. Other countries are achieving remarkable breakthroughs with this science, but until now our policy has been held hostage by a small minority of anti-choice and religious zealots.
Urge your senators to support expanded stem cell research:

-ACTIVISM OPPORTUNITY-
Tell the House to Oppose CAFTAThe Central American Free Trade Agreement narrowly passed the Senate in late June, and has now moved to the House of Representatives. If enacted, this bill would be good news for the multinational corporations -- but almost no one else.

The bill will cause a "race to the bottom" in labor and environmental standards, and would promote privatization and deregulation of key public services. Subsidized exports of corn and rice from the U.S. will bankrupt Central American farmers.
Urge your representative to vote no on CAFTA:
