A Quick Note.
Ahoy Mateys!
I dont know how many of you have been keeping up with the news. But today Colin Powell as well as three others from the cabinet have sent in their resignations. This raises the total of departing cabinet members to 6 out of 15. I am ASSUMING, that these are forced resignations given that everyone who is leaving has had some sort of bump in the decision making progress with the president and others from his clan.
Here is todays article provided from CNN regarding Colin Powells departure.
Of course the President will be appointing replacements to his liking. For instance, in the case of his lawyer, Alberto Gonzales, will be nominated to take Ashcrofts seat. Alberto advised the president that the Geneva Convetions did not apply to this war. A bad choice, i would think. It has also been said that he was nominated due to his loyalty to the president. Despite his "more liberal" views if he is as loyal as everyone makes him to be then it's a lost cause.(A profile for Alberto Gonzales can be found here)
It seems as though this situation is being mirrored in the CIA as well.
Since i dont how to start a coup d'etat, this is the best i can think of. Lets boycott all of the companies (or as many as you can live with) that have donated to GWB. Luckly, there is already a site in place **
So until we can think of something better, shop wisely!
**I know that alternatives are not listed for all categories at the boycottbush. website however, I would encourage you to purchase/borrow from the library/borrow from me, "The Better World Handbook." This book has alternatives for ALL of the categories listed and much more.
