Send the Democrats Some Spine

As a registered activist with democrats.com, I received this news this morning:

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) has introduced a Resolution of Inquiry to demand the White House turn over all white papers, minutes, notes, emails or other communications kept by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG).

"This group, comprised of the President and Vice President's top aides, was critical in selling the Administration's case for war," Kucinich said. "We now know that the Administration hyped intelligence and misled the American public and Congress in their effort to 'sell' the war."

This Resolution must be voted on in the House International Relations Committee by November 9th, 2005. The same committee, on September 14, came within one vote of passing a Resolution of Inquiry into the Downing Street Memo (H. Res. 375).
That near victory came after a great deal of citizen activism. This time we need to persuade all of the Democrats on the Committee to push a little bit harder and a few more Republicans to do the right thing. Co-Sponsorship of the Resolution by members not on the committee helps this effort. (Emphasis mine)"

...after a great deal of citizen activism." Hear that? Like the actions taking place tomorrow to protest everything about the Bush Regime. The more people in the streets making noise the more our elected representatives in both chambers of Congress will listen. And towards that goal, I also offer you this: The Backbone Campaign.

The Backbone Campaign and the After Downing Street Coalition are asking their members, allies, and all U.S. citizens to urge your Congress Member to Co-Sponsor Congressman Dennis Kucinich's Resolution of Inquiry H. Res. 505, calling for a release of documents from the White House Iraq Group (WHIG).

Click on the icon of the spine, or the link to Backbone Campaign to download a spine postcard (larger size of the one shown here) to print out and send to your Congress members. Click here to download a Spine Postcard pdf to print and send to your Congress member. More information on all this at both Backbone and After Downing St. The Internet has made taking action so easy. Please, DO IT.
