Want to See Karl Rove Testify Under Oath?



Tell Karl Rove: Testify Under Oath



The Bush Administration is still struggling to explain why eight U.S. Attorneys were abruptly dismissed last December. Recently released documents, however, show that heavy partisan pressure was being applied to replace these independent prosecutors -- including at least one who was pursuing a Republican congressman on high-level corruption charges -- with "Bushies" loyal to the administration.

Those documents also show a very high level of White House involvement in the decision to fire these attorneys -- most notably by Karl Rove and Harriet Miers. Indeed, the candidate who has now replaced a U.S. Attorney fired in Arkansas was a aide to, and protege of, Mr. Rove -- with relatively little prosecutorial experience, but lots of experience suppressing minority voters in the 2004 election.

Click here to tell Karl Rove: Tell the truth about your role in the purging of U.S. Attorneys.

The Bush administration's shifting explanations just don't hold water anymore, and Congress is now determined to get to the bottom of the matter. If, as it currently appears, the administration sought to obstruct justice in this affair, this would represent an unprecedented and dangerous politicization of our Federal judiciary system.

There's only one way to get to the bottom of this affair, and that's for Congress to exercise its oversight role -- including hearings with sworn testimony from White House officials such as Rove. So far, the White House -- under the flimsy excuse of 'executive privilege' -- is resisting Congressional demands for testimony under oath. But if they have nothing to hide, why not let Rove testify under oath? Anything less would be a clear cover-up of wrongdoing.

Click here to tell Karl Rove: Testify, under oath, before Congress.

We're gathering petition signatures and will deliver the petition to Mr. Rove at his home near Washington at the end of next week. So don't delay -- sign the petition today!

Please share this message with anyone you know who would like to see Karl Rove raise his right hand and swear to tell the truth.

Thank you for working to build a better world.

1. Do you honestly think he gives a shit what we think? Perhaps he'll
find his conscience? I. Don't. Think. So.

Seems like a waste of time to me, though I've posted plenty of petitions that have probably ultimately been a waste of time. My knee-jerk reaction got the better of me!

9. Sure, I'd like to see him squirm
but THE WORM is so good at lying, it's not going to prove anything. And everyone's gonna know he is lying, so how will they really catch the MF? The public spectacle is the best part, but I don't know how he will actually be nailed. These guys are like Teflon-nuttin stix to em'!
