After years of appeals, Italy's high court has upheld the conviction of 23 Americans, including 22 CIA officers and one military official for the offense of kidnapping of a man off the street in Milan on February 17, 2003, and shipping him to Egypt to be brutally tortured.

Thank Italy for upholding the law. Ask Italy to request extradition of the convicted kidnappers. http://bit.ly/T8KMYV

On September 16, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on US Sunday talk shows, scaremongering about Iran’s nuclear program. Meet the Press allowed Netanyahu to give a completely false picture of the Iran nuclear issue, without challenging his scaremongering through reference to known facts.

Tell Meet the Press that this is not acceptable: real journalism requires challenging false statements from politicians, particularly when these statements could provide a pretext for war.

Dear Friend,

In a secretly recorded videotape from a Republican high dollar fundraiser, Mitt Romney incredulously claims that 47% of Americans don't pay taxes. That they are effectively sponging off the government and the taxpayers. And that President Obama is counting on these voters who are "dependent on government" to win reelection.

Mitt Romney will say anything to the American people to get to the White House. He'll say anything to help himself and his rich buddies rise to power. And normally he'll say anything to hide his true disdain for most Americans.

Tell Mitt Romney: Thanks for letting us know exactly where you stand -- exclusively for the richest Americans:

Dear Friend,

The Republican war on voting continues.

Ohio has emerged as the latest front in the Republican scheme to derail democracy by disenfranchising millions of voters. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, in a blatant partisan move to steal the election for Mitt Romney, is trying to put an end to early weekend voting before Election Day. This change in Ohio election practices specifically impacts minority and low income voters.

I just joined CREDO Action and asked Sen. Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to hold emergency hearings on Republicans' schemes to steal the presidential election in key battleground states.

Click on the link below for more information and so you can take action, too.
