Profiles in courage...thank them!

1. As you probably know, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin is under fire from the right for critical comparisons he's made between Guantanomo Bay and Nazi Germany and Soviet Gulags.

If you support his courage in speaking out, please let him know (as I have):

2. Thank Independent Representative Bernie Sanders (the only democratic socialist in Congress!) for his leadership in getting the House to vote against aspects of the Patriot Act:

3. And, last but certainly not least, thank Democratic Representative John Conyers for his hearings today on the Downing Street Minutes and what they tell us about Bush's lies that have led to over 1700 deaths of US troops in Iraq and uncounted tens of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths:
