CREDO Action: Tools for Change from Working Assets

Karl Rove is all out of second chances.
It's time to learn the truth.


The Department of Justice to needs to lay down the law: Karl Rove must comply with his Congressional subpoena — or pay the price.

Take Action Now! = http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=3009


On February 23, Karl Rove was supposed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in accordance with a Congressional subpoena. But Rove didn't show up. Again.

Rove didn't show up last year when he was ordered to testify, because his old friend President Bush said that Rove's testimony was protected by executive privilege. Now that Bush is no longer in office, we may finally have an opportunity to learn the truth about his alleged misdeeds, from authorizing voter suppression tactics to orchestrating the arrest of Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

But even though we have a new president, Karl Rove is still acting like he's entitled to all the privileges that came with his old job.

The Obama administration has the power to clarify that Rove no longer has access to the "executive privilege" line of defense — since the executive in question is no longer in office. If that happened, a judge would have a lot more power to compel Rove to comply with the subpoena, and we might finally begin to learn the truth about his activities.

The American people deserve better than smoke and mirrors — we deserve the truth.

Thank you for working to build a better world.

1. Let me remind everyone that Rove was Bush's POLITICAL ADVISER

Rove was Bush's Political Adviser. As such he was not in a position to give Bush advice on the operation of the Justice Department or anything that went on inside of it. That is what makes his claim of immunity absurd - it is that it would have been illegal for him to have given the advice he claims immunity from disclosing. See the problem?

He would be perfectly immune from testifying about political advice he gave the President. But it would have been illegal for him to have given advice in the cases for which he claims immunity.

2. I use CREDO and I really like them

I received this email from them and signed the petition. I want to see the self-satisfied smirk on Rove's face go away.
