They now have a second chance to see the light:
My Congressman, Rep. Pascrell (D-NJ), missed the boat last time around. I've called his office and emailed info on the letter at their request. PLEASE DO THE SAME! Let's get ALL the DEMS in the HOUSE to sign this letter. Feel free to take part of my letter for your own use:
Hi Chris,
Here is info on the letter that I am asking Rep. Pascrell to sign:
First, the letter, signed by Rep. Conyers and 89 colleagues from the House, is here-- http://johnconyers.com/index.asp?Type=SUPERFORMS&SEC={2D3EADF2-4048-4374-8094-A21711A8C964}
In it, John Conyers asks the President to respond directly to the troubling disclosure from the "Downing Street Minutes"--minutes of a highly secretive meeting held in the UK where it was noted that, months before Bush went to Congress and while he was saying the exact opposite publicly, the Bush Administration had agreed with the British to invade Iraq and was "fixing the intelligence to the policy". For a complete copy of the minutes and a discussion of its importance, look here: http://www.downingstreetmemo.com/ . The implications of this are enormous as it is clear evidence of this administration's calculated deception of both the American people and Congress who, as you know, solely hold the constitutional power to declare war.
As I mentioned on the phone, I've just learned that Rep. Conyers will be re-circulating this letter to his colleagues in the House, as many have asked to add their signatures (link here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/2/15274/55931).
I was terribly disappointed the Rep. Pascrell did not sign the first pass of this letter. He now has a second chance. I hope he will redeem himself, because, quite frankly, I cannot support him in future elections if he doesn't understand the importance of this letter.
For what it is worth, I am fairly active locally--I am part of...(then went on to detail the policital groups I am active with, etc)
John Conyers--gotta love him for doing all the heavy lifting in saving our democracy!!!!
Go to it DUers!
