Demand Accountability for Torture
In response to an ACLU lawsuit, the Justice Department just released four key memos about the Bush administration’s illegal torture program.
Read the memos here.
To restore America’s commitment to human rights, we must demand a thorough criminal investigation.
Tell Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate the detainee abuse.
——————————-
An Open Letter to Attorney General Eric Holder
It is time to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate who knew about and authorized the Bush administration’s torture policies. If the evidence warrants, prosecutions should occur.
Nobody is above the law — that includes high-ranking government officials. And we must look back to make sure this never happens again in order to move our country forward.
Please appoint an independent prosecutor to restore credibility at home and abroad and to give us an America we can be proud of again.
Signed,

Who will you vote for this year: Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?
Billionaire hedge fund manager - and primary contributor to Rick Santorum's Red, White, and Blue SuperPAC - Foster Friess let the truth slip out about politics in this post-Citizens United age during an interview with Politico. Friess was among several billionaires who attended the Koch brothers secret meeting last month where over a hundred million dollars was pledged to beat President Obama.Trying to get other oligarchs on the side of Rick Santorum - Friess said, "There isn't a person at the Koch brothers events who would not get a good return on their investment by investing in [Santorum] as president, because of what they believe about the free enterprise system." The key word there: investment. These aren't campaign contributions - these are investments that millionaires and billionaires are making to keep their tax breaks, their subsidies, and their lax regulations in place.We no longer have actual people running for President - we have a few very, very rich people like Friess and the Kochs investing in stooges to do their bidding - and hoping to see major returns in their bank accounts. So who will you vote for this year? Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?-Thom(Who will you vote for this year? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
