Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Sen. Feingold Introduces Resolution to Censure Bush

HeadlineMar 14, 2006

On Capitol Hill, Wisconsin Democratic Senator Russ Feingold has introduced a resolution to censure President Bush for authorizing the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless domestic surveillance. “The President violated the law, ignored the Constitution and the other 2 branches of government, and disregarded the rights and freedoms upon which our country was founded,” Feingold said. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist attempted to force the Senate to immediately vote on Feingold’s resolution before anyone actually read it but Democrats protested the move. However few Senate Democrats have yet to publicly support Feingold’s move to censure. Meanwhile in the House, the number of Democrats backing a resolution to impeach the president has now topped 30.
