I have a GREAT idea for a DU fundraiser
Please don't think I'm being flippant or cynical. But is there anything we can do to get us censored by the US Senate? I'm serious here. We're smaller and less driven by fundraising than MoveOn, so I doubt the backlash would get us as much as their half a mil. But the publicity apparently doesn't hurt. And I suspect Grovelbot and his friends could do a lot to fight the good fight if it had a few extra bills in its purse.

1. Not bad. I was thinking the next ad MoveOn should buy says:
"The Senate Betrayed US"

2. By the way, criticized="censured" not censored.

censure=criticize
censor=stop the publication or broadcast of controversial material

4. How about
"Charge bush and cheney under the Ricco Act" I think that is how you spell it. It is the racketeering act the feds use to prosecute members of the mob.
