From an article in today's LATimes:

President Bush, asked about the Senate's push for a no-confidence vote against his embattled attorney general, accused critics of engaging in "pure political theater" and said Alberto R. Gonzales "has done nothing wrong."

"I stand by Al Gonzales, and I would hope that people would be more sober in how they address these important issues."

Political Theater? More like a Curtain Call.  If the President won't fire Alberto Gonzales, then Congress must.  Sign the Impeach Gonzales petition right now:

Hey Everyone!!  

Democracy for America is at it again. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has stepped up to the plate with a double hitter by responding to the DFA Primary Petitions on Global Warming and Iraq. And the Congressman lets it rip.

Check them out back to back at this link:

Thousands of Democracy for America members (including many of you) signed the DFA Primary Petition demanding action on global warming in April. The goal is to keep the pressure up on the Democratic candidates for President.  We're demanding they stay true to progressive principles and articulate a clear vision on the most important issues of our time.

The first petition back in February demanded action on Iraq and the response from the Presidential candidates was illuminating.  Senator John Edwards responded first and made his position clear. Senator Barack Obama and Governor Bill Richardson responded back to back with solid specifics. And just today, Representative Dennis Kucinich sent DFA his Iraq response (preview it now before we make it officially public) and he doesn't hold back.  Interestingly, DFA has not yet heard from the other candidates.

Now the responses to the DFA Global Warming petition have started rolling in...  

Hey MyDD

Democracy for America is powered by the grassroots. Over half a million DFA members on the ground in all 50 states drive campaigns up and down the ballot, in and out of the Democratic Party, and on and off the web.  You know as well as I do how important each of our roles is and how powerful we are when we work together.

The DFA Grassroots All-Star endorsement is reserved for the candidate that brings our entire community together. This is the reason it generates so much volunteer support, money, and media buzz. Why it jumpstarts the winner's campaign and adds credibility.  That's why it helped win Congressman Jerry McNerney, 2006 DFA Grassroots All-Star, his seat in Congress last November.  

Now, we need to unite behind a candidate again.

Three great candidates have a chance to win the 2007 DFA Grassroots All-Star endorsement.  Your vote will decide who wins.

Vote Right Now  

It's early, but it's not that early. Eight Democratic candidates have already decided to run for president. Campaigning has begun in earnest with rallies and fund raisers that are hard to miss. In fact, the race is so intense that one candidate has already dropped out.

Democracy for America members are lining up behind candidates, taking action, and creating buzz. Today is our first chance to tell the presidential candidates how we feel as a community. How close are we to a consensus candidate?

Senator John Edwards wants you to know where he stands on Iraq.

Last month, Democracy for America members petitioned the presidential candidates to oppose any escalation of the Iraq War, demand a swift end to the occupation, and propose a plan that brings our brave men and women home. We delivered over thirty thousand signatures and comments to every candidate and asked them to respond.

Senator Edwards took time to shoot a video response to you and we are excited to make it available today:

All month, Democracy for America (DFA) members have kept the pressure on both the President and Congress to not only stop the escalation of the Iraq War, but end the occupation and bring our brave men and women home.

Congress publicly rejected the President's escalation plan, but has not yet used teeth to actually stop it. We can't leave this up to Washington politics. We must continue to build the movement locally in every state, in every district, and in every neighborhood demanding binding action. We will not stop until every soldier is home. We're holding congressional meetings, rallies, vigils, Arlington-style memorials, and petition drives all demanding an end to this reckless war.
