(full disclosure: I work for the Courage Campaign)

The Senate once again is moving to take up FISA and retroactive immunity for law breaking telecom companies. The vote may come as early as tonight.  The only thing that is really effective at this point are phone calls into Senators offices.  The Courage Campaign, as did CREDO, went to our lists today and asked our members to call Senator Feinstein.

Give her a call right now:

202-224-3841 (Washington, DC)

310-914-7300 (Los Angeles)

415-393-0707 (San Francisco)

619-231-9712 (San Diego)

559-485-7430 (Fresno)

Go to the flip for more information on FISA and Feinstein's unacceptable amendments.

According to the Washington Post, Rove's going back to Texas:

Karl Rove, the architect of President Bush's two national campaigns and his most prominent adviser through 6-1/2 tumultuous years in the White House, will resign at month's end and leave politics, a White House spokeswoman said this morning.

Rove, 56, who escaped indictment in the CIA leak case, has been under scrutiny by the new Democratic Congress for his role in the firings of U.S. attorneys and in a series of political briefings provided to various agencies across government. Citing executive privilege, he defied a subpoena and refused to show up for a congressional hearing just two weeks ago on the allegedly improper use by White House aides of Republican National Committee email accounts. Fellow Bush advisers have said they believe the congressional probes have been aimed in part at driving Rove out.

But the truth is, nothing's really changed. All that the corrupt and incompetent Bush Administration has put this country through since January, 2001 continues to remain in place. It wasn't Karl Rove that led America to invade Iraq, it was George W. Bush. It wasn't Karl Rove that was responsible for the incompetent response to Katrina and the gutting of FEMA - it was George W. Bush.

Here is a clever video put together by the grassroots on YouTube.   

This is one more reason to support the

Impeachment of Alberto Gonzales. 

Rove can try to ignore traditional subpoenas from Congress claiming executive privilege and the U.S. Supreme Court might even back him up.  But even the right wing majority on the court can't rule against subpoenas issued during an impeachment trial. 

If we want Rove under oath... we must demand Congress start impeachment hearings on Gonzales.  If you haven't signed yet, sign today.  If you have signed... get one more person you know to sign today by sending them this link.
