CommonDreams: "Peace activist Bill Sulzman in Colorado Springs, Colo., protests the war in Iraq by refusing to pay the federal excise tax of about 50 cents on his monthly phone bill.
An anti-war group estimates they are among 10,000 who don't.
Sulzman also recruits others who are against U.S. military involvement in Iraq to stop paying the tax, which was first adopted in 1898 to pay for the Spanish-American war."

Zeev Factor, the chairman of the Holocaust Survivors' Welfare Fund, says many survivors get no pensions and have to live off $390 a month."

ACLU: "What should we do when the U.S. President lies to us and breaks the law?
Congress must thoroughly investigate these lies and renew its bipartisan
commitment to our Constitution's system of checks and balances. A special
counsel must be appointed to determine whether oaths of office were broken
and federal laws violated through the Bush NSA spying program."
