Bush Speaks Tonight - We Speak Today
After spending 8 years destroying everything he touched, Bush will give his final TV speech tonight. 
The only question is whether he will use tonight's TV speech to announce his blanket pre-emptive pardons for everyone who tortured and wiretapped - or whether he will wait until Tuesday morning just before President Obama is sworn in when (he hopes) no one will notice.
Before Bush speaks tonight, let's all speak for ourselves today with 3 quick actions for a Special Prosecutor:
1. Vote for the "Constitutional Slate" on Change.org 
Change.org is an independent progressive website that will pick 10 issues to promote through grassroots and media organizing. 
We're supporting two proposals to restore the Constitution:
* Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration (now #15)
* Get FISA Right, repeal the PATRIOT Act, and restore our civil liberties (now #10)  
Click "Vote Now" under the tally on the left and it will prompt you for a quick login. (You must click the email confirmation, then click "Vote Now" again.) Make sure your vote counts - after a second or two, "Vote Now" should change to "Voted."
Voting ends Thursday 5 pm ET / 2 pm PT so please vote right now!

2. Sign our Petition to Eric Holder for a Special Prosecutor
Our friends at Docudharma wrote an excellent petition to President Obama's nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder. Obama answered our Special Prosecutor question by saying Holder would be the "People's Lawyer" and would help Obama decide whether to appoint one. We have over 15,000 signatures - please add yours:

3. Urge Senate Democrats to Ask Holder About a Special Prosecutor
Eric Holder's confirmation hearings in the Senate begin today, and we'd like one Senator to ask Holder: "will you appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush Administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?"
Call 800-828-0498 or 800-473-6711 or 202-224-3121 and ask one or more of these progressive Democratic Senators to ask our question:
Sheldon Whitehouse (RI)
Dick Durbin (IL)
Patrick Leahy (VT)
Russ Feingold (WI)

We're thrilled to be working with the Center for Constitutional Rights, People's Email Network, and Docudharma. Together we can swamp their phones and send a great message!
Thanks for all you do!
Bob Fertik

Some of the most committed Democrats.com members and friends marched in Washington DC wearing death masks to remind Congress about the victims of America's wars. Bill Moyers discussed the march on his PBS show:
