Rumsfeld Must Go: A Call to Action


Today Jeff Latas and I are announcing the call by the Fighting Dem Vets running for Congress in November demanding the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The Band of Brothers and Sisters is endorsing this document individually and now we are urging all Fighting Dems, vets and non-vets alike, to join us in signing this petition. This is also a call to all the netroots to join us in a call for Rumsfeld’s resignation. We believe that it is our patriotic duty to speak out against Secretary Rumsfeld and we stand with and will defend the six generals who have called for Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation -- seven if you count the recent statements in an interview by General Wesley Clark (as did Reuters), former Supreme Commander of NATO and my friend and former boss.

And it is not only the generals that are denouncing Rumsfeld. In just the past couple of days we have seen news reports that many junior officers and even the War College (see War College Revolt?) itself are coming forward to point out the flawed leadership of Secretary Rumsfeld and President George W. Bush. The time is ripe to end the devastating reign of Secretary Rumsfeld and we ask all citizens to sign this petition calling for his removal, especially as the eye of the Bush regime seems to be turning towards Iran.

Please go and sign the petition here

In addition to asking you to sign the petition, we ask that you call and write your elected officials and write letters to the editor about Secretary Rumsfeld and the criticisms leveled against him. You are free to use any information provided in this diary to bolster your arguments in these vital endeavors.

1. This is a must read, and a must for sharing widely

All the facts are gathered together in this statement, and the conclusion is impossible to deny. If you know any half way reasonable Republicans, make sure they read this piece. BRAVO!

2. Eric Massa

I met Eric Massa last week for the first time. I am also, for the first time in a long while, excited about supporting a candidate for office. If other members of the Fighting Dem Vets are anything like Eric there is real hope for taking back congress. Taking back our country for the people that shed the blood, sweat and tears to make America a place to be proud of.

5. Great job, trillian.

I for one support any efforts to get rid of this creep.

In 2003, after the Abu Ghraib prison scandals, I personally called the White House. I demanded that they get rid of Rumsfailed. That poor person on the other end listened patiently, while I blasted away for about 10 minutes.

I have NEVER done anything like that, in my life. But the time had come: this man must go. Today. This afternoon.
