There is one thing for each and every one of you to do today!
Call Congress and Senate and the Media. There was one event that happened last week more important than anything that has happened yet and it was public. It was the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a hearing with Attorney General John Ashcroft.

He was held to be in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS AND IN DOING SO HE VIOLATID the US CONSTITUTION! Wrap your heads around this. This is the biggest event yet. Ashcroft was in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS in his answers and in addition he VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE US!

If you do nothing else today, call someone. Here are the links to several threads with many contacts for you to call if you care.

6. Threaten him. I'm not sure what exactly the process is to hold him in
Contempt of Congress. Does anyone know? and will a repub-controlled Congress do it?

I doubt it but if they had any pride and respect for the checks and balances inherent in our gov't they would nail his ass to the wall.

4. An anarchist giving orders to engage with government?
I think I sprained my brain.

:)

Kidding, of course. I mock you so as to kick your thread.

7. Thanks Will, You made me laugh. I'm fighting the www.protestwarrior.com
group this am and I am a little frazzeled. We conduct a weekly protest in front of Halliburton in Carrollton (suburb of Dallas) each week and have been doing so since April 15th. As of mid-May we started having this nice bunch of folks show up. Last Friday it turned into a street brawl and the cops did nothing but stand back and out of the way. It is a mess......... The skin-heads just might win this time.......

Sorry just very distracted and my number one focus for today was to get everyone on the phone to Washington. There is nothing larger in front of us today than "CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS".... I'm so sick and tired of these re-runs...........They did it with Iran-Contra and no one seems to remember. I watched and then I taped and watched again, Ashcroft show nothing but utter contempt and I was nothing but angry. How do people not care?

8. I'll pay for the brain sprain, okay, just talk to BeHereNow, she'll
vouch for me. Had the wonderful opportunity to have dinner with her in Dallas on Saturday. She is as much a treasure as you are.

9. Who better could I ask to mock me than you?
n/t That is an honor........I've been mocked by Will Pitt. Thank you truly and it is written in a joyful way, not sarcastic. You are a treat and we are proud to know you for as long as we have.

5. I don't know the truth behind this but I saw Kate O'Biern (I know, barf)
Edited on Mon Jun-14-04 11:00 AM by lovedems
state that in order for Asscrack to be in contempt, the documents first had to be suponead. Nobody on the panel disagreed with her. Does that have to happen first, a suponea or the chimp claim executive privledge? If he refuses the suponea, then will he be in contempt?

I know I should cite a RW hack but since the panel didn't argue that, I was wondering if that was true.
