Wake up democracy!

It's time to end the apathy and wake up. We should be writing letters to the editor, posting blogs, donating money, and pushing our officials to wake up and take action!

Bush caught lying again

This week transcripts and videos were released showing King George being briefed about Katrina in the days leading up to the disaster. Here is one excerpt:
"I don't think any model can tell you with any confidence right now whether the levees will be topped or not but that is obviously a very, very grave concern," Meteorologist Max Mayfield told the briefing."

Then later, after the levees were breached, and New Orleans flooded, George Bush was interviewed by ABC news. Bush told ABC's Diane Sawyer during an exclusive interview (video here) "I don't think anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees,"

George is busted. Either he told a clear lie, or, even worse, he didn't understand his briefing from three days before. If there had just been that one briefing, we may be able to dismiss Bush's error. However, in fact, there was an entire federal hurricane simulation involving New Orleans that predicted levees being breached.

And numerous media outlets are not even mentioning Bush's lie. See This Link.
