Never heard of this group before, but they've heard of me (or at least know my e-address and sentiments). Anybody heard of activist/democrats.com before?

Defeat the Wiretap Bill
The Senate will cast its final vote on warrantless wiretapping late Tuesday or Wednesday, so we need to flood Congress with petitions and calls demanding a no vote on the FISA bill.
Sign our petition for impeachment, not immunity:

Last week, thousands of Barack Obama's supporters urged him to oppose the FISA bill. Obama finally responded with a blog post that was wrong on the key issues. In his post Obama wrote, "I'm certainly not perfect, and expect to be held accountable too." We're doing just that through our new Obama Progressive Escrow Fund, to which 550 of you have pledged $83,821 so far.
If you support Obama (as we do) and plan to contribute, consider an informal "pledge" to our escrow fund until Obama demonstrates leadership on the progressive issues you care about most:

Arrest Karl Rove
The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Karl Rove to testify on July 10, but on July 1 Rove announced he would defy the subpoena.
Could you or I get away with defying a Congressional subpoena? Of course not. So why can Karl Rove? Like George Bush and Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, believes he is simply above the law.
It's time for Congress to prove them wrong by using its power of "inherent contempt" to send the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Karl Rove (as imagined in photoshop at left) and bring him before the full House to answer to the charge of Contempt of Congress, and to punish him to the maximum extent allowed by law, including prison.
Before Democrats won Congress in 2006, Nancy Pelosi said the most important reason to put Democrats in control of Congress was "subpoena power." But now Pelosi is quietly blocking the use of inherent contempt.
Tell your Representatives to Arrest Karl Rove:

Elect Regina Thomas to Replace BushDemocrat John Barrow 
Together we raised over $25,000 for our first endorsed candidate, State Senator Regina Thomas in her primary against "Bush Democrat" John Barrow.. The primary in GA12 is just 1 week away.
Thomas was overjoyed by your generosity, and she is using every penny for her final ad blitz on TV, radio, billboards, and newspapers.
Barrow has over $1 million, so Thomas is definitely the underdog. If you know any voters in her district (roughly Savannah-Augusta-Vidalia - click below to see the map), urge them to vote for Thomas!
