True Majority is organizing e-mail campaign against Gonzales

[Richardo]

For information on the Gonzales nomination: http://www.humanrightsfirst.org /



My version of the letter, which unfortunately is going to be directed to Stepford Senators Hutchison and Cornyn (R-TX).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Senator ________:

The qualities we'd like to see in our nation's attorney general are not defined by political party. Whether Republican, Democrat or Independent, we all demand honesty, compassion, decency, and respect for the rule of law from the Nation's highest law enforcement officer.

Unfortunately, President Bush's nominee for attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, appears to lack these basic qualities. I personally question even his qualifications for the position, given his ingenuous and evasive performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and his uinwillingness to produce requested material for the committee.

During his Senate confirmation hearings, Gonzales' demonstrated a complete lack of candor regarding his role in the development of the Bush administration's disastrous policies on interrogation and torture. He also gave misleading testimony regarding a court appearance he made on Governor Bush's behalf during a jury call in Texas.

Our great country deserves a great attorney general, and Alberto Gonzales does not fit the bill. I am sure there are many other qualified candidates, of any race, gender or background, who could fill the position with integrity and distiction.

Please vote against him.

Sincerely,

<Richardo>

However, I AM forwarding copies to my other Senators - all 45 of them. :thumbsup:

1. Re-spell distinction before you send it; otherwise I admire your

letter immensely. Since I am stuck with two of the most mundane, yet ever-so vicious senators, it is useless for me to write. (McConnell and Bunning...the first being a venal hack and the latter being totally nuts.)

5. Write anyway.

Sometimes they simply count the number of letters "pro" and the number of letters "con". It's worth writing even if you think it is useless.

7. Crap!

I did not spell check. :grr:

Oh well - they're Republicans, they get a lot worse from their constituents.

I'll spell it correctly for my Democratic mailing. ;-)

4. I keep my letters simple.

I told them it was bad enough they voted to confirm Rice. Don't make things worse by voting to confirm Gonzales.
