Help blow the lid off Gonzogate! Call Pat Leahy and your Senator!
Edited on Thu Mar-29-07 03:30 AM by tom_paine
My God, it's the Mother of All Whistleblowers!

The man's name is Frank P. Rich and he was a DOJ attorney in the Civil Rights Division for 35 years. He wrote an op-ed in today's LA Times, which if true, likely constitute unethical and possibly felonious behavior by Loyal Bushies in ANOTHER area.

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-rich29mar29,0,1507657.story?coll=la-home-commentary

Sen. Patrick Leahy's contact info:

202-224-4242
433 Russell Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510

(Don't forget to look up and call your Senators!)
www.senate.gov
(Look up mail addresses and send a letter...that's probably the most effective, if you've got the inclination)

Help make sure this guy is not overlooked in our quest to restore the great America we grew up in and send these Bushevik vampire back to their crypts!

To me DUers! To me! :patriot: It's not often we here at DU can really make a direct impact and difference (we're more of the drip drip dripping of gradually exposing and collating the records of Loyal Bushie criminality) but I believe this is a sterling opportunity.

I have already called Leahy and I will soon be on the phone leaving messages with my own. Do the same and We the People will get to hear what he has to say. We DESERVE to hear what this honorable public servant has to say.

K & R this sucker to the Greatest Page and let's get this DONE! :patriot:

1. ! K&R
Edited on Thu Mar-29-07 04:49 AM by Mister Ed
I've written to both my Senators now. Some excerpts from the article:

I spent more than 35 years in the department enforcing federal civil rights laws — particularly voting rights. Before leaving in 2005, I worked for attorneys general with dramatically different political philosophies — from John Mitchell to Ed Meese to Janet Reno. Regardless of the administration, the political appointees had respect for the experience and judgment of longtime civil servants.

Under the Bush administration, however, all that changed. Over the last six years, this Justice Department has ignored the advice of its staff and skewed aspects of law enforcement in ways that clearly were intended to influence the outcome of elections.


From 2001 to 2006, no voting discrimination cases were brought on behalf of African American or Native American voters. U.S. attorneys were told instead to give priority to voter fraud cases, which, when coupled with the strong support for voter ID laws, indicated an intent to depress voter turnout in minority and poor communities.


I personally was ordered to change performance evaluations of several attorneys under my supervision. I was told to include critical comments about those whose recommendations ran counter to the political will of the administration and to improve evaluations of those who were politically favored.

5. A shameless kick and make those calls DUers. Also, it's Jospeh P. Rich.
And yes, it's JOSEPH P. RICH, not Frank P. Rich.

Bad place to make a bleary-eyed typo like that, no?

Too late to edit it, though.

9. Isn't it strange how they're not interested in prosecuting Ann Coulter for voting fraud?
