I am reposting an Email I received: Nice to watch Rummy squirm just a bit.
A year ago today, the Bush Administration was making its final push
toward war in Iraq. We know now that much of what we were told about the
threat that Iraq posed was untrue. And rather than own up to their
distortion of the facts, Bush administration officials are denying they ever said
such things.
But this Sunday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got caught
blatantly contradicting his past statements, and we have the video clip. You
can check it out at:
http://www.moveon.org/censure/caughtonvideo/
Congress' responsibility is to hold President Bush and his
administration accountable for this pattern of deception -- that's why we have the Constitution. But instead, Congress today will debate a resolution
congratulating Bush, for (they claim) making the world safer.
We must demand, at a minimum, that Congress censure the President.
It's our Representatives' duty to formally reprimand him for misleading us.
And we've got to demand it today, while they're debating their anniversary
resolution.
Today, we're holding a press conference at the Capitol, unveiling a
new TV ad calling for Censure, and a New York Times ad on the same theme.
And we're taking our Censure petition, signed by more than half a
million of us, to Congress, hand-delivering it to each Representative's
office. The event is co-sponsored by Win Without War, True Majority,
and Working Assets.
Please help reinforce this powerful message with a single phone call
now.
Then, why not pass the Rumsfeld clip along to your friends?
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Carrie, Joan, Noah, Peter, and Wes
