For eight long years, the Bush-Cheney Administration politicized the Department of Justice and pursued politically motivated prosecutions all across the country.

It infused the Justice Department with Rove-anointed, Bush-appointed officials who put politics ahead of the law -- including many of the 93 U.S. Attorneys -- like Leura Canary, the wife of Karl Rove's best friend and business partner who said he got Rove to get the DOJ to come after Gov. Don Siegelman in Alabama.

When President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder took office, we expected real change. That means ending the Bush-Rove politically motivated prosecutions with no basis in fact and restoring the integrity of the Department of Justice.

Still, after seven months, only a handful of the Bush-Rove DOJ appointees have been replaced. That's unacceptable. It's time to clean house of all the Bush-Rove appointees in the Justice Department, including all 93 U.S. Attorneys, and ensure justice for all.

Email White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett today at www.FireRovesProsecutors.com, and urge President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to act:

CNN Running Scared

Media Matters (a fantastic media watchdog) is attempting to hold CNN's feet to the fire via a 30 second ad because they allowed Lou Dobbs to promote racially charged conspiracy conspiracies and are attempting to duck accountability by declining to run the ad on its network.

Check out the ad and help if you can: https://mediamatters.org/donate/dobbsconspiracy/

Help Do Something about Lou Dobbs

CNN host Lou Dobbs is promoting debunked "birther" conspiracy theories by asserting that Obama needs to "produce a birth certificate"--even though he already has.

I signed a petition with MoveOn and Media Matters calling on CNN to address their Lou Dobbs problem. Can you join me at the link below?

Who Will Help Stop BIG COAL From Cheating Our Democracy?

In the aftermath of the House's incredibly close vote on global warming legislation, one member of Congress - Tom Pierello of Virginia - has revealed that he received forged letters from local nonprofit groups - the NAACP and Creciendo Juntos - trying to convince him that a vote FOR the legislation would hurt poor people, minorities, and the economy.

I just signed a petition to tell Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate these blatantly criminal and fraudulent acts. I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take action.
