Send Karl Rove to Jail!

Taken from the Credoaction.com email alert

"This sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, it's not. We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action.

All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration.

Our friends at Brave New Films put together this video to explain the issues surrounding Rove's failure to testify before Congress, and why Rove should be held in contempt and sent to jail. We've teamed up with Brave New Films and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to hold Karl Rove accountable. Check out Send Karl Rove to Jail, and sign our petition to ensure that the House Judiciary Committee holds Rove in contempt.

We're delivering the petition to all 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee this Thursday, so time is of the essence. Karl Rove is hiding under the cloak of "executive privilege" — a cloak that doesn't apply to his alleged dirty dealings with the Department of Justice. Congress has the power to force Rove to testify; all we have to do is convince them to use it.

Click here to tell Congress: we won't sit idly by while Karl Rove spits in the face of justice.

After you sign the petition, be sure to tell a few friends. "

Stop the Salem MA Power Plant!

CANCER???
ASTHMA?
Birth Defects?
Do you or a loved one suffer from cancer?

-FACT-
- The coal fired Salem Power Plant emits tons of chemicals
every day proven to cause cancer.

- Marblehead and Salem have elevated cancer
rates--higher than the state average.

- Salem Power Plant is over fifty years old and is one of
the "Filthy Five", the second most toxic in the state

- The Salem Power Plant dumps tons of carcinogenic
poisons into our air, soil and groundwater with
major health effects.

- A power plant in Boston was recently closed. It was thirteen
years YOUNGER than the Salem Harbor Plant.
It was considered obsolete.

- OSHA just issued its judgment that the owner of the plant,
Dominion, failed to protect employees and three men
died in November in a deadly explosion.


Ever wanted to open your windows for that fresh salt air and thought it was healthy? Think again. -Beware the toxic black dust and soot on your window sills-- 369,065 pounds of toxic chemicals were dumped into the air in 2006 by the Salem Power Plant. Your children are breathing this every day. Children are especially susceptible to the effects of these toxins.


The plant pumps out 2 tons of Mercury and Lead annually. It also emits nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases that lead to global warming


A recent Harvard study concluded that those living within 30 miles of the plant are at greater risk of premature death, respiratory illnesses and cancer. There were 14,400 asthma attacks per year related to the plant's emissions.


Join a class action suit to make the plant acknowledge its responsibility in contributing to your health problems. Contact Governor Deval Patrick's office to register your desire to close the plant by clicking here. We
operated fine for six months without the plant during the OSHA investigation of the November explosion and alternative modern sources
of power are readily available.


There are alternative uses for Salem Harbor that would provide hundreds more jobs and more tax revenue to the city. There would be a net gain in tourism and jobs. This is one of the nation's most beautiful and historic natural harbors. www.stopthePlantNow.org
