Follow this link to the coverage on Huffington Post of the letter to shareholders by JPMorgan Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon.

Dimon cited “an expensive war in Iraq” as one of the possible triggers of the economic collapse. Spending on the war ballooned the deficit and crowded out investment in domestic priorities. Meanwhile, the trade deficit soared.

Luckily for George Bush, nobody is going to believe anything that bankers say these days.

Judge Jay Bybee, now a a federal judge in California, was one of President Bush’s torture advisors.

If you feel the need to take some action on the issue of the mental defectives that promoted this horrible policy, then you might want to respond to this request from the Courage Campaign.

Hi,

Have you heard that one of President Bush’s torture advisors is now a federal judge here in California?

In August 2002, Judge Jay Bybee wrote a horrific memo enabling the torture of detainees — including waterboarding — at Guantanamo Bay. In 2003, he was confirmed to a seat on the important Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Instead of sitting on the federal bench, he must be held accountable for his role in the unspeakable crimes that took place at Guantanamo Bay under President Bush.

The Courage Campaign is helping a diverse group of California progressive activists who are working to pass a resolution at this Friday’s California Democratic Party convention demanding that the U.S. House of Representatives begin impeachment proceedings against Judge Jay Bybee. This resolution is the first step in holding Judge Bybee accountable for what he has done.

Will you join me in signing your name as a supporter of impeaching Judge Jay Bybee and urge your friends to do the same?:
