Petition for removal of Michelle Bachman from the House Intelligence Committee -

http://site.pfaw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=bachmann_intelligence&autologin=true&s_src=pfaw_home

Dear Speaker Boehner:

Three members of the House Intelligence Committee -- Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Thomas Rooney and Rep. Lynn Westmoreland -- have launched an unfounded and irresponsible attack on dedicated public servants, including Huma Abedin, a key aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Their only evidence is conspiracy theories and McCarthy-esque fear tactics. And their accusations are doing real harm.

You were right to call their baseless allegations "dangerous." Now it's time to put your words into action.

Please remove Rep. Bachmann, Rep. Rooney and Rep. Westmoreland from their seats on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence immediately. Members of the House Intelligence Committee are entrusted with classified information that affects the safety and security of all Americans. That information should not be in the hands of anyone with such a disregard for honesty, misunderstanding of national security, and lack of respect for his or her fellow public servants.

Signed,



P.S. Oh yeah, also she's out of her mind!

should disqualify Bachmann from even remaining in Congress. Maybe it wasn't intention but I mean, c'mon............what did she think was going to happen if she starts ranting about "Muslim Brotherhood infiltration" into our highest levels of government and, more importantly, starts actually naming names?
