From Salon War Room re Kerry's letter: "Where Are the Other Democrats?"

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/print.html?blog=

Where are the other Democrats?

For those who have been itching for someone -- the national media, the White House, Congress, anybody -- to take the Downing Street memo seriously, the news today is mostly good: Even if the Republicans will never let it happen, John Kerry and nine other Senate Democrats have actually asked for an investigation that will include the revelations set forth in the Downing Street memo.

And yet -- where are the rest of the Senate Democrats? There are 44 Democrats in the Senate, and Kerry circulated a draft of his letter to the whole lot of them two weeks ago. In the end, he was able to persuade just nine of his colleagues to sign on: Jon Corzine, Tim Johnson, Frank Lautenberg, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Tom Harkin, Jack Reed, Jeff Bingaman and Dick Durbin.

Where are you, Harry Reid? Any reason you didn't sign, Sen. Clinton? And while we wouldn't expect to see a signature from someone like Joe Lieberman on this letter, why don't we see your name there, Sen. Obama?

It would be one thing, we suppose, if Kerry's letter were outrageous somehow -- say, if it impugned the patriotism of millions of Americans or suggested their real "motives" were to put U.S. troops in mortal danger. But Kerry's letter isn't like that. It simply quotes passages from the Downing Street memo and highlights the "troubling questions" that they raise.

Is it that you don't think those questions are worth answers, Joe Biden? Or does the experience of Dick Durbin -- who did, after all, sign the Kerry letter -- have you too scared to raise them?

Link to email your Senators and ask them to sign Senator Kerry's letter urging the Senate Intelligence Committee to complete Phase II of their investigation--how the administration used the intelligence they received in the run up to the Iraq War--which chairmain Pat Roberts agreed to in February, 2002.

2. Kick! We must hold their feet to the fire. Bombard them with emails.

We must not let this effort die. Let them come back from the July 4th recess with full mailboxes, overflowing with our emails!

We will know by July 8th, when Dubya has asked to meet with representatives of both parties before he nominates O'Connor's replacement, whether he seeks to unite the country, or further divide it, but we must not let the Downing Street Minutes die--and that route is through the Senate Intelligence Committee. There is no other possibility on the table with this Republican controlled Congress.

Email or call your Senators and urge them to sign John Kerry's letter reminding them that Senator Roberts agreed to finish Phase II of their investigation--how intelligence was used in the run up to the Iraq War.

3. It's never too late for a Senator to sign onto a letter of inquiry. It's

OK to sign on even after the letter has gone out and is sitting on an Oval Office desk. Just by a senator agreeing even at the last minute, it STILL counts.

Pressure them all next week. Even the Republicans. Especially with the traitor Rove being outed, they'll feel less apt to cover up anymore.

4. Thanks, blm. Let their mailboxes overflow with email on their return 7/11!
