The Nation on the impending court martial of First Lieut. Ehren Watada
7 JulWatada, the War and the Law
Jeremy Brecher & Brendan Smith in The Nation (web only)
On July 5 the US Army brought charges against First Lieut. Ehren Watada, an infantry officer stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, who has refused to deploy to Iraq with his unit because he believes the war there is illegal. Watada faces up to eight years in jail and a dishonorable discharge. But in trying the 28-year-old officer, the Army is really putting itself, the Iraq War and the Bush Administration on trial.
Voting Rights Act Reauthorization
6 JulFrom PFAW:
Defying the odds and the will of the American people, a small, but vocal group in the House of Representatives managed to stage a revolt and have the Voting Rights Act Reauthorization (H.R. 9) pulled from the House floor.
We cannot let this small band of ultra-conservative House members succeed in holding up reauthorization of this landmark civil rights legislation. That’s why People For the American Way has launched an emergency petition to tell House Leadership to pass the bill immediately.
Please sign the petition now to tell Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader John Boehner to stand up to the right wing’s stalling tactics and let the VRA bill pass!
