Knowing he can't get his long list of favors to his Republican cronies through Congress, <a href="http://action2.bravenewfilms.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=JLcXc1sS3fVA1fe8lgw3augXP9lJOa0Y"><font color="#002fd7" style="color: #002fd7"><u>Bush is doing a last minute end-run</u></font></a>, jamming as many rules through the executive branch as he can during his waning days in power. These so-called "midnight regulations" will allow factories to pollute more, further restrict women's access to abortion services, cut off aid to needy families in the middle of a recession, and much more -- all without Congress' oversight or approval. It's wrong, it's antidemocratic, but, sadly, it's legal.</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">When given the opportunity to be "naughty or nice" this holiday season, Bush has clearly opted to go down as one of <a href="http://action2.bravenewfilms.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UNUNSnXZJUCBP0BOTx8wEegXP9lJOa0Y"><font color="#002fd7" style="color: #002fd7"><u>the naughtest, most sinister presidents</u></font></a> in our nation's history. We've created a satirical spin on the famous poem, <i>'Twas the Night Before Christmas</i>, in order to show President Bush crafting his last-minute agenda for health care, the environment, civil liberties, and labor practices -- rules that will affect everyone and will be difficult for the next administration to overturn. We are using humor here in the hopes that it both commands people's attention and enables us to shine a light on these all-too-serious midnight regulations.</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>Watch the 2 min. video: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><a href="http://santabush.com">http://santabush.com</a>/</span></b></font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div><span><img src="cid:CE833BA5-3B4A-44A3-A8FA-A791E3A6EF77@local"></span></div></p></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Eulogies and Condolences for Tooker</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">and Stories of ecology and activism</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://www.greenspiration.org"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">http://www.greenspiration.org</span></span></a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Join our email list by emailing us at:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="mailto:greenspiration@web.ca"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">greenspiration@web.ca</span></span></a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Write "subscribe" in the subject line</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">and tell us what city/country you live in</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
