We Need a New Attorney General!

Target: President George W. Bush
Sponsored by: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has abused his power. Tell President Bush to fire him immediately!

Gonzales' role in the Justice Department's firing of eight federal prosecutors and other abuses of power make it clear that he has not acted properly in his role.

The House Judiciary committee is continuing its investigation into this serious matter and will examine the White House's involvement in this scandal.

Democrats will continue to fight to ensure U.S. Attorneys are free from political pressure and have the tools they need to prosecute criminals, and that the languishing investigations into public corruption are completed. As the nation's prosecutor, the Attorney General is too important to play politics.

THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. TELL PRESIDENT BUSH WE NEED A NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL!
deadline: 3-19-2008
goal: 40,000

Jesus said it best: "For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then will he answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me." (Matthew 25:42-45) Contained within every evil(greedy profiteering republican) act are the seeds of its own destruction. Adhere to the teachings of Jesus, as contained in The Urantia Book, or else suffer the consequences. It IS that simple. TRUTH has been spoken to power, Peace will prevail. Buck Fush! SUPPORT EDUCATION, GLOBAL PEACE AND ECONOMIC STABILITY, AS WELL AS ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY... IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!

Either he doesn't know what's going on inside his own Justice Department, or he's perjured himself before Congress. Neither warrants his remaining the top law enforcement officer in this country.

Cronyism has GOT to stop. Relieving Gonzales of his post will relieve the citizens of the US. Political reasons for dismissal of the justice dept employees is just plain wrong, and this strong-armimg of the government by the Conservative Right-Wingers MUST GO. When will they realize they just cannot do whatever they want, whenever they want, against whomever they wish.

The attorney general has not lead by example. He needs to go. He does not follow the rules or laws and is not the right person for such a position.
