But, this article I thought worth sharing. Who's up for organising something similar in the UK for all the damage Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have done.
Undoing eight years of legislative mayhem...
I almost never send anything that is not a video, but this group - led by Ann Fagan Ginger - is so admirable and their latest project is so sound, I felt compelled.
Ann is 83 years old, a civil rights attorney, and the founder of the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute which has been fighting on behalf of freedom in America for over 40 years now.
Her latest project is to document ALL the laws passed by the criminal Bush regime that need to be amended or repealed by the new Congress in 2009.
This is important work and as often is the case Ann is the clear-headed one who sees what needs to be done and is going it.
Worth a look, and if there are any Bush regime laws you think need revision (or repeal) let Ann and her group know.

P.P.S. Here's the message Ginger sent out.
From: "Ann Fagan Ginger" <afg@mcli.org> To: <SupportingOrganizations@mcli.org> Subject: TOOL KIT FOR CONGRESS Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 17:38:58 -0700 Organization: Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute
We need information from your organization/from you on every law passed by the Bush/Cheney administration that needs to be amended or repealed by the new Congress in 2009.
Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute is preparing a new small book for activists after the Nov. election: "UNDOING THE BUSH-CHENEY LEGACY: A TOOL KIT FOR CONTRESS.
Our goal is to include the text of every statute, regulation, executive order, signing statement, treaty, etc. that must be amended or repealed by the new Congress.
Please send us by June 1 the bad Bush laws in your field: Agriculture, Anti-trust, BICE, Corporations, Detention Of Enemy Combatants, Defense, Disability, Education, Election, Energy and Environmental Protection, FEMA, Habeas Corpus, Health Care, Homeland Security, Homeless, Housing, Immigration, Labor Unions, Military Commission, Prison Administration, Tribal Land/ Treaties, Veterans, Seniors, Welfare rights, etc.
Please send: * Name of law or regulation or order * If you have the citation, please send it also; e.g., Volume number in U.S. Code and section umber, e.g., PATRIOT ACT, Public Law 107-56 (2001), including 28 U.S. Code ยง2712.
We intend to be absolutely complete so PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME WE WILL GET YOUR STATUTE OR REGULATION UNLESS YOU SEND IT TO US!
The booklet will be small enough to send to Congress members and/or use when you visit them, and to give to the media.
* You do not need to send us the complete text of a law if the whole law is bad. Just send the name of the law and its basic citation.
* If only some words or phrases in a law need to be amended or deleted, please DO send the text that is the problem.
You may also send a VERY BRIEF statement of how the statute or reg has been misused or could be misused.
We will, of course, acknowledge the material received from each source.
