Let your Senator know we're serious about Gonzales

[genius]

Here is a letter the PHDC put up at their website. They are encouraging people to send this letter to their Senators in advance to let them know America is serious about a filibuster of this torture advocate. Especially send it to those who did not vote "no" on Rice.

AGREEMENT NOT TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION - TO BE SENT TO THOSE CONSIDERING NOT FILIBUSTERING THE NOMINATION OF ALBERTO (TORTURE MEMO) GONZALES.

TO ALL SENATORS NOT FILIBUSTERING THE NOMINATION OF ALBERTO GONZALES: PLEASE SIGN THE FOLLOWING LETTER AND SEND COPIES TO ALL YOUR CONSTIUENTS


I _______________(name of Senator) from the State of ______________(name of state) agree never again to run for an office in America. I have shown that I do not care about the Constitution and the laws of the United States by failing to filibuster a U.S. Attorney-General nominee who says it's alright to break the law. The U.S. Attorney-General is the chief law enforcement officer in the United States. In failing to filibuster Alberto Gonzales, I have violated the oath I took when I was sworn in as a Senator. In placing a law-breaker in charge of law enforcement, I am throwing my support behind the right of the Bush administration to break the law at will.

In not caring that Alberto Gonzales has advocated torture and violating the Geneva Conventions, I have shown the American people that I personally support crimes against humanity. In failing to filibuster Gonzales, I also have shown my support and approval for all the torture of detainees that took place at Abu Ghraib. Under Gonzales's reasoning, the broomstick incident in New York with Abner Louima is acceptable. My failure to filibuster Gonzales is also my way of endorsing the use of broomsticks on all detainees in New York and elsewhere. My failure to filibuster Gonzales further shows that I do not care if all the American people and children are victims of torture and lawlessness.

In short, by failing to filibuster Gonzales, I have shown that I oppose the enforcement of the laws, Constitution and treaties of the United States while I do support and encourage crimes against humanity. My failure to filibuster Gonzales further shows that I am a low, sick, disgusting human being who has no right to ever hold office in the United States. In fact, I should apologize for my own existence because only a blight against humanity would fail to filibuster Gonzales.

Therefore, in the interests of the citizens of the United States and the world, I agree not to run for re-election and never again to seek any public office.

3. To stop enabling Bush, send waivering SEnators this agreement form

With Gonzales, there will be no law and order and the Supreme Court won't matter. The fear of a nuclear option is being perpetrated by freepers. The filibuster that matters most is the one against Gonzales. If we lose this oen, IT"S ALL OVER.

4. I am so tired of freepers trying to discourage a filibuster. of Gonzales

I realize that the biggest goals of the Republican inflitrators is to scare Democrats out of filibustering Gonzales. They need to know that we're not buying the scare tactics. The call of the genuine Democratic activists for a filibuster of Gonzales will continue.
