President Bush and VP Cheney are put on notice to leave their shredders unpluggedWASHINGTON – Senate Democrats on the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees last week told the White House to preserve all records produced by the Bush administration and expressed "particular concerns" whether Vice President Dick Cheney's office will comply with the law.
"We believe it is vital the presidential and vice presidential documents belonging to the American people be preserved, including those related to key national security decisions in which the (office of the vice president) played an important role," the senators wrote in the Nov. 7 letter to White House lawyer Fred Fielding. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
"We have particular concerns ... regarding documents in the possession of the Office of the Vice President," the letter said. Citing ongoing litigation over the preservation of Cheney's records, the senators wrote: "the declarations filed in that case by the Office of the Vice President raise serious concerns about its interpretations of the (Presidential Records Act)."

This won't work any better than the last several times they have asked Bush & Co. to do things. They forgot to say "Simon Says".

...And in our final story, the White House celebrates the end of the current administration with a massive bond fire on the front lawn. We're not sure what they're using for fuel but it is said the flames can be seen from space.

We have got to get off our asses and take responsibility for this "Democracy" of ours. The world thinks we are a joke, and we are!
Hold these shits accountable. Call the White House. Express anger. These are ciminals and we need to stop things like this.
These two should be arrested the minute they step down from office!

Please stop saying things like, "We have Overcome" "His dream is finally here".
Just because a minority has been elected president, doesn't mean the battles are over. We still have a long way to go.
We can celebrate and be happy in the moment, but we cannot let down our guard or forget our mission. We aren't free until we are all free!
