Dear friend,
NO More
Get Out of Jail
Free Cards
 |
The Bush Administration's reckless contempt for the rule of law has broken new ground.
First Dick Cheney claimed he wasn't part of the executive branch. Now President Bush wiped away a prison sentence for his crony and convicted perjurer Scooter Libby.
For the past six years, Republicans have showed us no argument is too ridiculous and no action too reckless to avoid accountability. Despite Libby's conviction by a jury of his peers for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice, Dick Cheney called Scooter Libby "one of the most capable and talented individuals" he has ever known.
President Bush went even farther –by giving his friend Scooter Libby a
'get out of jail free card' for his crimes.
Congress is holding hearings this week to ask tough questions about the President's role and hold them accountable. As a member of the DCCC's Rapid Response Network we have an important assignment for you. Send a message directly to the White House to express your outrage, then alert everyone you know to do the same.
Send an e-card to President Bush and Vice President Cheney, telling them no more 'get out of jail free' cards for their cronies. Phillip, we're counting on you to help hold the administration accountable for their actions. After you send your e-card, we need you to send this message to friends and family and encourage them to send e-cards to the White House. After you
send your e-card, you will find a link that will allow you to send this message to others.
For too long the Bush Administration was not held accountable by the Rubber Stamp Republican Congress and the American people suffered. Those days are long over. Under the leadership of Speaker Pelosi, our Democratic Majority is getting things done for the American people. We passed the first minimum wage increase in more than 12 years, we restored pay-as-you go spending, passed a balanced budget, and we changed the way business is done in Washington.
Oversight by our Democratic Majority is ensuring a New Direction for our country. For example, right after news reports surfaced about the horrific conditions at Walter Reed Medical Center, we immediately began hearings and fought for funding that corrected the deplorable conditions. Do you think this kind of accountability would ever happen under a Republican Rubber Stamp Congress?
Help us continue to hold the Bush Administration accountable when they try to twist the law to protect one of their own. Send an e-card to President Bush and Vice President Cheney, telling them there are no more 'get out of jail free' cards for their cronies. We will deliver your messages directly to the White House. Sincerely,
Brian Wolff
Executive Director
P.S. Anyone who breaks the law should be held accountable, including well-connected public officials like Scooter Libby. You can tell them just how disgraceful you think their actions are by sending President Bush and Dick Cheney a message.
Send an e-card to President Bush and Vice President Cheney, telling them there are no more 'get out of jail free' cards for their cronies.
FORWARD OUR MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY | | PROTECT OUR DEMOCRATIC CHAMPIONS |
