I got this yesterday in my e-mail from Democrats.com. Supposedly there are rallies and demonstrations going on in 67 cities across the country. But I haven't heard a thing about it. What if they gave a rally and nobody came? :( http://www.worldcantwait.net/TOMORROW IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE BUSH REGIME Call Toll-Free 1-866-973-4463 or E-Mail info@worldcantwait.org to contact World Can't Wait | Drive Out the Bush Regime

The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime
Sign the call now!
Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.
Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
