VoteVets.org and General Wes Clark have been and continue to do everything they can to stop the next war NOW.

Please help by using the above link to write congress, local newspapers, print doorhangers, petitions, etc.

Also, a couple industrious Clarkies have made some beautiful FREE BUTTONS — order some, pass them around.

TPm has a lively discussion on the WH excuse for the 5 million ‘missing’ e-mails – they’re claiming they got lost in converting from LotusNotes to Outlook.

Today’s excuse: the cat urped on my homework.

I’d gladly go to jail for a long time if I could shed serious light on the mis-deeds of this admin.

If I had documents (or received them anonymously), I would post them as a patriot, and suffer any consequences.

You’d face a jury of your peers. Just tell the good judge that your peers are at the Lake!
Good for you, but I’d sneak them to Dan Froomkin.

What would happen, if, say, someone somewhere had most of the Karl Rove RNC emails and they began anonymously posting them on blogs everywhere?

The legal consequences would be…what?

It’s hard to imagine that someone with those emails also has a conscience. After all, how could they work with Rove if they had one?

Also, can Conyers, Leahy or Waxman just put out a blanket request for copies?

Orrin Hatch’s sticky fingerprints are all over this.

Question for the legal eagles: The Hatch Act, which the Bushco White House has apparently violated…does it relate to Orrin or his family?

NO. Carl Hatch is responsible for the Hatch Act (1939). He was a Senator from New Mexico, and later a federal judge. He was an early supporter of a federal minimum wage law, and was almost fanatical about clean elections and anti-racketeering.

Which means he might as well not be in the same solar system as Orrin.

The Hatch Act was passed in 1939 and applies only to the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. It states what political activities Federal employees are allowed to perform or participate in. (And it’s beginning to look like the Bush Mis-Administration has violated it six ways from Sunday.)

It has no relation to Senator Hatch.

No.

Hatch Act, Senator Carl Hatch, 1939. But it does smell like Orin.
