| To
understand why questions about George Bush's time in the
National Guard are legitimate, all you have to do is look
at the federal budget published last week. No, not the
lies, damned lies and statistics — the pictures.
By my count, this year's budget contains 27 glossy photos
of Mr. Bush. We see the president in front of a giant
American flag, in front of the Washington Monument. |

| Dear
American People |
We
now face a daunting task. An unpleasant and possibly fatal realization
now confronts all of us in our daily lives.
Many of our most powerful leaders need to be arrested for numerous
and continuing crimes against humanity. |

Fill War Chest, Then Capitalize |
| For
achieving their fundraising goals, Pioneers receive a relatively
modest token, the right to buy a set of silver cuff links with
an engraved Lone Star of Texas (Rangers can buy a more expensive
belt buckle set). Their real reward is entree to the White House
and the upper levels of the administration. |

| Who
Bankrolls Bush and his Democratic Rivals? |
| Enron
Corp., the Houston-based energy firm that touched off a financial,
legal and political scandal when it declared bankruptcy in December
2001, remains the top career patron of President George W. Bush,
whose prolific fundraising in 2003 shattered all previous records
for candidates. Enron's employees and political action committee
have given more than $600,000 to Bush over the course of his
political career, according to a new Center for Public Integrity
book, The Buying of the President 2004 (HarperCollins). |

W. Bush the Saudis will reduce oil prices before this November's

| Stooping
Low to Smear Kerry |
| Cheney
said in 1989 that he didn't go to Vietnam because "I had
other priorities in the '60s than military service." While
Kerry risked his life, Bush got himself into the National Guard. |
|
| Bush
campaign accents the negative |
| Scholars
and political strategists say the ferocious Bush assault on
Kerry this spring has been extraordinary, both for the volume
of attacks and for the liberties the president and his campaign
have taken with the facts. |

Record |
|
| Where
were you in '72? Most of us remember...Bush does not... |
| So,
while the news networks have sat on this explosive story for
months, it's well documented that George W. Bush never showed
up for National Guard duty for a period of approximately one
year, possibly more, in 1972-1973. Despite all the talk about
"honor and dignity," |

| Bush's
flight from the Guard |
| Why
was he abruptly grounded from flying? Why did he leave the Texas
Guard two years early? A key report answering those questions
is still missing from George W. Bush's records. |
