Congressman DeFazio Tells Bush: Striking Iran Would Require Congressional Authorization

Congressman Peter DeFazio will send a letter to President Bush reminding him that he is constitutionally bound to seek congressional approval before making any preemptive military strikes against Iran. DeFazio is circulating the letter to other members of Congress seeking additional support. DeFazio will also introduce a resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the President cannot initiate military action against Iran without congressional authorization. He is seeking additional support among other House members for the resolution as well.

Intelligence Manipulation at the Washington Post
The Washington Post's editorial page has been printing blatantly false statements about the White House's Iran-is-buying-uranium hoax and Ambassador Joseph Wilson's exposure of the fraud. Read more and ask the Post to correct its statements:

Washington Post FINALLY Polls on Censure and Impeachment
Nearly a year ago, Democrats.com started asking the Washington Post and other corporate media outlets to include impeachment in their regular polls. After repeatedly and snidely dismissing our requests, the Washington Post FINALLY included questions on impeachment and censure in their latest poll. Of course they twisted the results, but despite the bias of the poll, the results are very strong for censure and even impeachment. On censure, 45% support is the highest since the ARG poll on 3/15, which was before the White House ginned up its counterattack machine. That means Americans have heard the White House spin - that it is essential to fighting terrorism - but they are becoming increasingly skeptical. On impeachment, 33% support for "impeach and remove" is 7% higher than the Newsweek poll in March. It is also 7% higher than the average support for "impeach and remove" for President Clinton in 1998. Finally, the fact that the Post has finally asked the question is a HUGE victory, and other corporate pollsters will surely follow!
