Send Karl Rove to Jail

From the towers of Manhattan to the levees of New Orleans--let justice be done! When politicians commit crimes and their lawyers encourage it, the people must uphold the rule of law. For the children to know that we knew right from wrong, and were compelled to act, please...each one, tell as many as you can. Most important, sign the message to the House Judiciary Committee. They will act if we tell them to.

Bo Reilly Bites It

Unbelievable and unacceptable! Keep watching the video after the initial incident for a montage of attack reports from the Foxes at Obama. I never would have believed Americans would accept such blatant insanity on television, but there it is for the whole world to see.

Please spread the video FAR AND WIDE. We want thousands signing on to support Obama in hanging tough against the FOX bullies.
Robert Greenwald
P.S. Let's have a little fun too. Post a comment on the blog with all the reasons you can think of why Obama should not go on Billy's show. The most compelling/funny/interesting will score some cool BNF gear and a signed Outfoxed: FOX Attacks! Special Edition DVD.

Rudy Must Respond

Why has Giuliani turned his back on the 9/11 First Responders? We are all trying to get on with our lives in this post-9/11 world, but the real heroes carry physical particles from the towers in their bodies.
Philip Landrigan, MD stated before the 9/11 Commission: “millions of microscopic shards of glass… asbestos, dioxins, … jet fuel…, organic solvents, most notably benzene…a mix that’s never previously been encountered....”

The REAL heroes of 9-11 sacrificed everything for their country.
Rudy Giuliani has abandoned them.
Sign the petition demanding Rudy Giuliani
meet with the 9-11 first responders.

And while we are at it, please help get the word out about Rudy's no-bid contract to Motorola and the failure of those untested radios on 9/11/01. Hundreds of lives, maybe thousands would have been saved if not for the exclusive contract given to the same company whose radios failed in the 1993 WTC bombing.

Mr. Junk Bond Makes $51,369 PER HOUR!!!

It’s enough to make me gag. Robert Greenwald & the Brave New Films team has a new expose on how Henry Kravis, a severely wealthy “financier” pays less taxes than his maid! Read, watch, weep, then post your ideas of what you’d do in his house for Xmas:

A Home for the Holidays
What would you do if you lived in one of
Henry Kravis' mansions for a day during the holidays?
Would you feed the homeless? Throw a huge party?
Sell everything on eBay?
Post a comment on the Brave New Films blog
with your your most creative use of
Kravis' mansions, and you could be the star of our next video!
Tell us what you'd do.

HENRY KRAVIS PAYS LESS TAX THAN
TEACHERS, FIREMEN, AND POLICEMEN, AS WELL AS
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.

The Self-Congratulatory “Academy of Achievement” [sick!] lists this under Sir Kravis’ bio:
[…] Henry Kravis is one of the most successful investment bankers in history. He is famous in the business world for pioneering the leveraged buyout (or LBO), that is, borrowing money to buy a controlling interest in a given company. As managing partner of Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts (KKR), he is responsible for some of the biggest corporate acquisitions in history. The list of companies Henry Kravis has bought and sold over the course of his career is a roll-call of great American brand names: Safeway, Beatrice, Borden, Playtex, Samsonite, Culligan, Texaco.
In 1988, he engineered the buyout of RJR Nabisco, a struggle dramatized in the book and film, Barbarians at the Gate. The purchase price, $24.88 billion, was the highest that had been paid for a commercial enterprise up to that time.

Peace is the Way

Wherever we go there are advertizements for war: tv, radio, posters, subway ads, computer and video games, on & on. These all add up to an acceptance of war as the way to "redress grievances."
WAR IS NOT THE WAY TO PEACE. But you know that already.
UFPJ's next big peace push is this Saturday. Please do what you can to spread the word for peace.

ASSEMBLE ON BROADWAY
South of 23rd Street
RALLY AT 12:00 NOON

The Real Rudy !

Just a note that Mr. Giuliani always laughs when he has to distract and compose himself, i.e., he's getting ready to LIE. Here's Robert Greenwald's latest exposé:

Vote for Rudy's biggest mistake at TheRealRudy.org

Enjoy our funny teaser, but get ready for our very serious The REAL Rudy videos to come. We have some very powerful interviews with experts about his so-called 9/11 expertise, and heartbreaking stories from the families whose sons were killed due to his negligence. We don’t want to give it all away, but we promise you will NEVER look at him the same way again.

It's time to expose the truth of Rudy's failures on 9/11.
