Reimpose a strict ban on warrantless wiretapping of American citizens and block amnesty and immunity for telephone companies that illegally spied Oppose Michael Mukasey for Attorney General because he (a) wants to keep Guantanamo open despite the strong objections of the world (b) allow "enhanced interrogation techniques" which is just Bushspeak for torture, an international war crime, and (c) abused material-witness laws to lock up Muslims without charges Oppose Hans von Spakovsky for FEC Commissioner because of his key role in illegal voter suppression, disciminatory and illegal voter ID laws, the illegal TX redistricting engineered by Tom DeLay, and the stolen election in Florida Pass the resolution to condemn Rush Limbaugh for calling troops who are critical of the Iraq Occupation "phony soldiers" and hold Limbaugh accountable by removing his show from Armed Forces Radio Override Bush's planned veto of the Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Hold White House officials in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas requiring their sworn testimony and documents.

During the horrible week of September 17, 2007, Democratic voters were repeatedly betrayed by the Democratic Senate. They couldn't pass the Dodd bill to restore Habeas Corpus, the Webb Amendment to rest our troops, or the Feingold-Reid Amendment to mostly leave Iraq by June 2008. And then 23 Democrats joined all the Republicans to outrageously attack Moveon.org for a newspaper ad. Never again! From now on, when Congress is in session, we will publish a Democrats.com Weekly Agenda listing all the actions we want the Democratic Congress to take that week. Please send our Weekly Agenda to your Representative and Senators each week, and visit this page (http://democrats.com/agenda) to see how many of us sent this agenda to Congress (the thermometer in the upper right corner). Our goal is to send 100,000 agendas to Congress each week - it's ambitious but we have over 300,000 subscribers so it's doable, especially if we all use the "Tell a Friend" box on the petition to spread the word. Also visit this page for the current status of each issue below. To suggest a new issue, send us an email.
