The US Postal Board of Governors is preparing to accept a new rate plan -- one created by media giant Time Warner. To no one's surprise, it imposes huge rate hikes on sm,aller independent publishers, and locks in special privileges for the media giants.

Getting more MPG from our vehicles is the biggest single step we can take to reduce carbon emissions, cut air pollution, and stop supporting anti-democratic regimes abroad. The technology currently exists to dramatically improve fuel economy standards -- so tell Congress to legislate a raise in Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards.

As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Title IX this year, behavior such as Don Imus' against women athletes and their accomplishments simply cannot be tolerated.

In response to President Bush's promised threat of supplemental appropriations for the ongoing occupation of Iraq, Senators Feingold and Reid have now drafted legislation that will effectively end the current military mission in Iraq and begin the redeployment of U.S. forces.

Their bill requires the President to begin safely redeploying U.S. troops from Iraq 120 days from enactment, as required by the emergency supplemental spending bill the Senate recently passed. The bill ends funding for the war, with three narrow exceptions, effective March 31, 2008.

April 9th, 2007 is the last day to submit a comment supporting the listing of the polar bear as an endangered species. If we don't take action now, this marvelous creature could be lost forever.

Karl Rove needs to testify under oath before Congress regarding his role in the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys.

As Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales is entrusted with defending the constitution and acting as the top enforcer of our nation's laws. Gonzales, however, has not risen to the challenge of his appointment and as a result betrayed the public trust. Again and again, Gonzales has demonstrated that he is more loyal to partisans within the Bush administration rather than to his duties as America's chief law enforcement officer. He should be impeached and forced to testify under oath.

If Congress really wants to "support the troops," they must now stand up to the President who misled us into the invasion and occupation of Iraq -- and force him to bring the troops home. Nonbinding resolutions clearly won't accomplish this task, so it's now time for Congress to use their power of the purse.

Senators Boxer (D-CA) and Sanders (I-VT) have just introduced the Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act of 2007. This legislation will achieve 80 percent emission reductions (from 1990 levels) by 2050, and provides strong incentives for renewable energy development. This bill deserves our support.

It's clear from testimony in the Scooter Libby trial that Libby "outed" CIA operative Valerie Plame on instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney. This represents a crime of treason against our nation; Cheney must be impeached immediately.

Leaders of the Motion Picture Academy could make a huge symbolic gesture by making the Academy Awards show carbon-neutral -- at a very affordable price. Urge them to do the right thing.

Last September, Congress passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA) which restricted habeas corpus rights, allowing the government to continue holding prisoners at Guantanamo indefinitely with no access to a fair hearing in court. Indefinite imprisonment without a fair trial or hearing is fundamentally un-American. Habeas Corpus must be restored now.

It's long past time to chart a new course on energy here in America -- and HR 6 represents an important first step. The House has passed HR 6 to repeal Big Oil's subsidies and invest in renewable energy; the Senate should follow suit.

With President Bush planning to escalate the war by sending as many as 48,000 more troops to Iraq, this is not the time for timidity among anti-war leaders in Congress or game-playing among pro-war ones. Tell your representative and senators to support the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007.
