I want to thank Skinner, Elad and EarlG for the DU Activist Corps
Dear Guys and DU Family,
The DU Activist Corps is a wonderful way to bring unity to our
DU family.
Unity in action has brought about the much needed
"unity of community."
Can you feel it?
Thought so- there is a decided spirit of excitement and
mutual purpose produced by the group effort towards
a like purpose that I think will heal the myriad of hurts and
misunderstandings that manifested over the 2004 election.
With the corps, we all get to start over, TOGETHER!
Thanks-
BHN:loveya: to all!

Subject: Karl Rove and His Role


To Whom It May Concern:

The Administration is not being truthful concerning Karl Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame. He knowingly released the information to get back at Joe Wilson because Joe Wilson went to Niger at the request of the CIA and found no evidence to support the President's statement.

Wilson was introduced to his wife's superiors and ask to go to Niger to get intelligence on Iraq's purchase of yellow-cake. Joe Wilson found no evidence that Saddam had purchased or even tried to purchase any yellow-cake. When Mr. Wilson returned, he filed his findings with the proper authorities. When Mr. Wilson heard that Saddam had purchased yellow-cake in the President's State-Of -The-Union speech, Mr. Wilson felt compelled to set the record straight and tried to contact the Administration, but no one would contact him. Finally he went public in the New York Times Article and shortly thereafter, his wife's cover was revealed.

By outing Ms. Plame, Rove and others in this administration have undermined our national security and the CIA has lost a valuable undercover covert agent who was working on WMD's.

By their actions, they make us less safe.


Thank You;

7. GREAT letter-thanks for posting it!
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 06:33 PM by BeHereNow
I hope Poopy Bush DOES read it!
I am a strong advocate for pointing out the
fact that the "outting" motivation was in favor of
personal retaliation over national security-
THAT is what needs to be understood by any
comatose sheelple who still believe the fairy tales
about Homeland Security or the fantasy that this administration cares
about what happens to Americans.
Whether here at home, in military service or our intelligence agencies,
they will sacrifice any and all of us for in their quest for
domination and "absolute control over every living soul"- L. Cohen)

THAT point alone should wake the sheeple into coming to grips
with reality.

8. See what happens when you try
I have never written a letter to the editor. I just usually send my regular wake up press memos out, or write to journalist who have some really slimy pieces....

This is a first for me and it feels great. Thanks again

3. AMEN AMEN AMEN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN
All this talk without doing anything can become dispiriting. But with the activism, it completely changes EVERYTHING! You are always looking around for something that could be could for a cyberaction.

WE ARE MAKING HISTORY, PEOPLE! smile!

9. Me too,
A little direction works wonders for me, not to mention our many common goals. It's funny, you know, even though the US is far from perfect, It's my country and I hate what's been done to it. I find myself feeling patriotic, because I believe we can make a difference, change the direction we've been going into.
