Keeping The Heat On Abu G.

The latest from Democracy For America...

Congress is beginning to get it.

After years of evidence that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is both an embarrassment and a danger to the Justice Department, The Seattle Times reports that Congressman Jay Inslee (D-WA), "will introduce a resolution today directing the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should be impeached."¹

Democracy for America has been pushing Congress to take this action for months. Over 80,000 members have already petitioned their representatives.²

As The New York Times wrote this weekend, "Americans have been waiting for months for Mr. Bush to fire Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who long ago proved that he was incompetent and more recently proved that he can't tell the truth. Mr. Bush refused to fire him after it was clear Mr. Gonzales lied about his role in the political purge of nine federal prosecutors."³

Our wait for justice could soon be over.

The Gonzales impeachment resolution is already co-sponsored by five members of Congress. All of them are former prosecutors. Will you join them?

Thank you for what you have done to move Congress to this point. We still have lots of work ahead of us in order to return integrity to the Justice Department. But, because of you, we are making progress.

To tie this in to the John Edwards for President campaign, I should say that I thought this was an interesting article in today's New York Times about the campaign's web-based focus (and as always, to learn more, click here).
