Here's a chance to flex our muscle for an inarguably good cause.
Here's the e-mail I received:
Dear Operation Truth supporter:
This morning, Operation Truth sent a letter to the Senate demanding that it hold hearings on Donald Rumsfeld's tenure as Secretary of Defense, and then hold an official vote on confidence in him. Please support our call. (Click here to view the letter).
Secretary Rumsfeld must answer the tough questions about his leadership, particularly considering the substantial criticism he has faced in recent days from prominent Republican Senators. Specialist Thomas Wilson asked an important question last week when he confronted Secretary Rumsfeld about Humvee armor, but there are a lot more questions on even bigger issues that need answering. Only in front of a formal Senate panel will he have to go on record and do that, and he should get that chance.
Most importantly though, we are asking for the Senate to hold a formal vote on confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld following those hearings. All of the Senators should go on record as to whether they have continued confidence in him.
Last week, we asked that you back our call for investigations of the Humvee armor scandal. You responded and we were successful. Now we are asking you to back our call again. Visit our Legislative Action section here to send a message to your Senators. Then tell your friends to do the same!
Together, we can make a difference!
Warm Regards and Happy Holidays,
Paul Rieckhoff
Executive Director
