PETITION! No to SALE of MDA to ATK - CLICK HERE FOR LINK

The petition

We are calling on the Government of Canada to intervene in sale of Canadian-based MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates to US company ATK which derives more than half of its $4 billion US in annual revenue from military contracts, including cluster bombs, depleted uranium rounds and landmines.

We support American-born engineer Paul Cottle's decision to quit for ethical reasons.

We ask Federal Industry Minister Jim Prentice to review the sale, keeping in mind the death and destruction ATK products cause around the world.

We as members of the global community SAY NO TO THIS AQUISITION!

We are proud of the CANADARM and do not want this Canadian icon associated in any way with this company.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

STOP CIA COVERUP OF TORTURE. PLEASE SIGN PETITION

Dear Friend,
When a defendant admits to destroying key evidence, it’s typically called "obstruction of justice." When the Bush administration admits to destroying evidence of wrongdoing, it’s called business as usual.

Last week, the head of the C.I.A., Michael Hayden, announced the agency destroyed tapes of what he called a "harsh interrogation" and what you and I would call torture. The reason? To protect agency operatives from legal consequences.
We want to get to the bottom of this and the only way to do that is to appoint an independent prosecutor.

Sign our petition: Demand Attorney General Mukasey appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate and, if appropriate, prosecute wrongdoing.
The C.I.A. withheld knowledge of the tapes’ destruction from the House and Senate intelligence committees who oversee the C.I.A. They also withheld the tapes from federal prosecutors and the 9/11 Commission even though they were specifically asked for depictions of interrogations. According to the former director of the 9/11 Commission, this could amount to obstruction of justice.
Thankfully, members of Congress are already expressing their outrage over this action.'
