Tell your US Rep. YES to inherent contempt for Karl Rove

Common Cause's Recapture the Flag campaign wants us to bring Karl Rove to the witness chair concerning possible politicization at the Department of Justice. Congress has the power and a duty to conduct investigations of possible wrongdoings in the Executive Branch. It's time to stop the stonewalling, and get the bottom of the questions about the firings of U.S. attorneys and other allegations about politicization at the Justice Department.

By voting for inherent contempt, Congress would be ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to physically bring Rove in to testify. If he still refused, he could be jailed. Urge your Representative to support a vote of inherent contempt against Karl Rove!

Just personalize the sample letter if you desire, and send it off; a copy of your letter will be emailed to you if you prefer. Or, you may, instead, call your US Representative through the Capitol Switchboard; its number (not toll-free) is 202-224-3121. Thank you

Keep party politics out of elective office

According to a recent Washington Post article, U.S. Justice Department officials attended a dozen political briefings at the White House since 2001. They included preparations for upcoming elections. Partisan use of the Executive Branch should be prohibited, as it should be representative of all of the people, not just one political party.

A drawback to partisan political parties is their present reach into the elected offices of government officials. The exclusive role of a political party is to attract, nominate and support candidates before an election. It is when the Democratic and Republican Parties are special interests of those elected officials, that they lose their representation of all of their constituents.
