Brasscheck TV: Undoing the Bush Legacy

progressive

(Mon, 12 May 2008 17:07:48 -0500 (CDT)) --- Undoing eight years of legislative mayhem...

I almost never send anything that is
not a video, but this group - led by
Ann Fagan Ginger - is so admirable and
their latest project is so sound, I
felt compelled.

Ann is 83 years old, a civil rights
attorney, and the founder of the
Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute
which has been fighting on behalf
of freedom in America for over 40
years now.

Her latest project is to document ALL
the laws passed by the criminal Bush
regime that need to be amended or
repealed by the new Congress in 2009.

This is important work and as often is
the case Ann is the clear-headed one
who sees what needs to be done and
is going it.

Worth a look, and if there are any
Bush regime laws you think need
revision (or repeal) let Ann and
her group know.

From: "Ann Fagan Ginger" <afg@mcli.org>
To: <SupportingOrganizations@mcli.org>
Subject: TOOL KIT FOR CONGRESS
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 17:38:58 -0700
Organization: Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute

We need information from your organization/from you
on every law passed by the Bush/Cheney administration
that needs to be amended or repealed by the new
Congress in 2009.

Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute is preparing a new
small book for activists after the Nov. election:
"UNDOING THE BUSH-CHENEY LEGACY: A TOOL KIT FOR CONTRESS.

Our goal is to include the text of every statute,
regulation, executive order, signing statement,
treaty, etc. that must be amended or repealed by
the new Congress.

Please send us by June 1 the bad Bush laws in your
field: Agriculture, Anti-trust, BICE, Corporations,
Detention Of Enemy Combatants, Defense, Disability,
Education, Election, Energy and Environmental Protection,
FEMA, Habeas Corpus, Health Care, Homeland Security,
Homeless, Housing, Immigration, Labor Unions, Military
Commission, Prison Administration, Tribal Land/ Treaties,
Veterans, Seniors, Welfare rights, etc.

Please send:
* Name of law or regulation or order
* If you have the citation, please send it also;
e.g., Volume number in U.S. Code and section umber,
e.g., PATRIOT ACT, Public Law 107-56 (2001), including
28 U.S. Code '2712.

We intend to be absolutely complete so PLEASE DO NOT
ASSUME WE WILL GET YOUR STATUTE OR REGULATION UNLESS
YOU SEND IT TO US!

The booklet will be small enough to send to Congress
members and/or use when you visit them, and to give to the media.

* You do not need to send us the complete text of a
law if the whole law is bad. Just send the name of
the law and its basic citation.

* If only some words or phrases in a law need to be
amended or deleted, please DO send the text that is the problem.

You may also send a VERY BRIEF statement of how
the statute or reg has been misused or could be misused.

We will, of course, acknowledge the material received
from each source.

For more on our first two Little Orange Books, please
visit www.mcli.org

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE!
