"ACTION ALERT: Call the US Senate - Ask GOP Senators why they hate America?
by John in DC - 9/15/2005 10:42:00 AM


BUMP: I'm bumping this alert to remind folks, please call your Senators today. Let's make this an issue.
----------------

54 US Senators today KILLED legislation establishing an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what went so horribly wrong with Hurricane Katrina.

76% of Americans want an independent bipartisan commission, like the one that investigated the 9/11 attacks, to investigate what went wrong. In fact, according to the same poll, Americans of all stripes, Republicans and Democrats, are united behind their support for such a commission (64% of all Republicans and 83% of all Democrats want a commission) even though they were aware that the Republicans in Congress are doing their own biased and partisan investigation (see below).

So why did every Republican US Senator (save the Senator from Louisiana, who simply didn't vote) vote AGAINST forming this independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what went so horribly wrong, and to find out how we avoid an even larger catastrophe the next time Osama attacks a major American city with a chemical, biological or nuclear bomb?

It's time to find out.

Call all the Republican Senators, fill their office voice mails with messages. Ask them why they voted against forming an impartial, independent commission to find out the truth about what went wrong with Hurricane Katrina? (Or in the case of the Louisiana Republican Senator, ask him why he didn't vote.) Ask them why they would rather have America unprepared for a future chemical, biological or nuclear attack from Al Qaeda? If we don't know why we were unprepared today, we will surely be unprepared tomorrow.

And don't be fooled. The Dirty Bomb 54, as I'm calling the 54 Republican Senators who don't want learn from our mistakes, are going to give you a bunch of BS about how they ARE in favor of an investigation - an investigation run by the Congress itself, an investigation where the investigating committee will be made up of a majority of REPUBLICAN congressmen. Yes, they want a PARTISAN investigation of one of the largest disasters in American history. The Dirty Bomb 54 don't want the truth, they want a whitewash. They don't want to protect America against Al Qaeda, they want to play politics with our lives.

Call every single one of the GOP Senators below and ask them why they hate America. (We're only contacting the GOP Senators because all the Democrats voted FOR the independent bipartisan commission.)

I told them they might as well take down the US flag and put up an elephant flag because they are more loyal to their party then their Country and it is disgusting.

Make sure you tell them you ARE A CONSTITUENT.

The House is doing it also

"House GOP follows Senate's lead - votes to set up fake Katrina commission to rubber-stamp Bush's actions
by John in DC - 9/15/2005 12:09:00 PM


The House Republicans are heading down the same track as the Senate Republicans. Set up a fake commission, run by Republicans, so they can exonerate Bush of all wrongdoing and make sure America is unprepared for a future Al Qaeda attack.

Read more here.

Then look at the action alert a few posts down, and call your Senators and now House members too and bitch like hell. The House has not yet had its final vote on this. But regardless, they can still fix it later, it doesn't matter when they vote.

We cannot let the Republicans put our nation at risk for partisan gain. Demand an independent commission to investigate the Katrina disaster. Demand the Republicans stop playing politics with Katrina."
