The Daily Brew has a great way to annoy the GOP, the administration, and Bush - and it just may help the nation. There is a Word version at his website for your convenience in snail mailing the request.

FOIA REQUEST

Dear FOI Officer:

Pursuant to the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. s. 552, I
request access to and copies of any records demonstrating that any
payments were made to President George W. Bush for active duty service
in the National Guard from the time period beginning May 1, 1972 and
ending April 30, 1973.

I agree to pay reasonable duplication fees for the processing of this
request in an amount not to exceed $50. However, please notify me prior
to your incurring any expenses in excess of that amount.

As a free-lance researcher who will provide this information to the
news media, I am only required to pay for the direct cost of
duplication after the first 100 pages.

...

But we all already know he's guilty and getting the documents themselves to prove isn't necessary. All that takes is one dedicated person and a web server to post em on (or emailing them to someplace like DU to host them.)
