Dear Supporter,
Keep up the fight for justice! Support Congressional efforts to discover the truth about Karl Rove and the Bush Administration! We can change things and make things better but we have to keep the pressure on to ensure that the right kind of change happens! First: the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT) will hold a hearing tomorrow, Wednesday, March 4th, at 10 AM. The hearing is titled "Getting to the Truth through a Non-partisan Commission of Inquiry." We need to contact Senator Leahy and offer our support of his effort to get at the truth but insist that no immunity be given to Karl Rove. You may call the Senate switchboard and ask to be connected to Senator Leahy at (202)-224-3121. Second: Leaving these corrupt, Karl Rove/George Bush, political hack U.S. Attorneys in power one more day is further endangering our democracy. The Bush/Rove U.S. Attorneys need to be sent termination letters NOW. Last week, I sent you a petition from my friends at CREDO Action that asks Attorney General Eric Holder to ensure Karl Rove testifies. Please <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=WKJEVoJ54GipDGdmsnIBk18Iyqvi9Hyd>visit that petition and add in your personal comments a request that Attorney General Holder uphold democracy by dismissing those tainted U.S. Attorneys immediately. <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=pUdQKRHgGOQhcxKIpHQsaV8Iyqvi9Hyd>Sign CREDO's petition to Attorney General Eric Holder today! Third: Something has to break this impasse between Congressman John Conyers and Rove. As you know, rather than coming down firmly on the side of the truth, the White House told Chairman Conyers and Karl Rove to "Work it out" when Rove again claimed executive privilege and failed to honor his subpoena. It is clear that, since Congress is investigating a criminal matter, executive privilege doesn't protect Rove from a Congressional subpoena! The White House needs to side with the people, the Congress, our Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court on this executive privilege issue. Please contact the White House switchboard at (202)-456-1414 and tell President Obama he must deny Karl Rove executive privilege and support the efforts of Chairman Conyers to make him testify! Thanks for helping to right wrongs and save our democracy! Sincerely, Don Siegelman Governor of Alabama 1999-2003<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=540NYJbwjBhwDRF3ZfUQV18Iyqvi9Hyd> Paid for by Friends of Don Siegelman 2008 If you would like to remove yourself from the Friends of Don Siegelman email list, <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=T%2FKElb5uwXB4TAZsbmrRnl8Iyqvi9Hyd>click here to unsubscribe. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
