Don Siegelman has a new website! He is speaking now at Netroots Nation


It's time for Obama to clean up the justice dept.

This is not just about his freedom, it's about everyone's freedom, restoring our democracy.

The people who authorized torture, led us into war, need to be held accountable.

He is facing same Rove anointed, Bush appointed prosecuters he has been dealing with all along. Obama needs to do what Bush did and fire the US Attorneys.

They are Rove accomplices.

Husband of Don's prosecutor was his opponent's campaign manager.

Met with Valerie Jarrett this morning, shared his concerns. She said it's up to us. (The Obama answer to a lot of things.)

http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/5180/t/3541/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=2904 <- new website up today

No other president has left the other team in office when he became president.

33. Andrew Kreig, Scott Horton and others have provided excellent coverage.
I still don't understand Holder's reluctance to address this and go after those who undermined the election and justice in Alabama.

7. Jarrett's wrong. It is not just "up to us". The netroots has tried hard.
That mantra does not always work. It is also up to Eric Holder.

Thanks for the write-up, but no matter how hard we try...we can't do it all for them.

17. Thank you for the heads-up, proud2BlibKansan. I will.
Gov. Siegelman and the injustices he has suffered and endured for being an opponent to the Bush Crime Family is a very important subject.

Know your BFEE: Bush and His Crooks with Badges Sent an Innocent Man to Jail

You and all good DUers have helped advance the cause of helping clear Gov. Siegelman's good name and hastening the day when this is again a nation of laws.

27. It'd be cool to see how many unrec's are registered to see what the Haters don't want you to read.
There could even be an Ungreatest Page.

22. K&R from me
Too many Bush holdovers throughout our Justice and civil service offices are still there to poison policy in whatever ways they can.
They need to selectively weed those out. And start with the ones who wrongfully prosecuted Siegelman.

23. K&R - agree that it's not just 'up to us'
If it was, then Mr. Siegelman wouldn't still be embroiled in this nightmare.

Thanks for these updates!

34. I don't want him PARDONED. I want justice to prevail against those who persecuted
Gov Siegelman and this whole travesty exposed. Judge Fuller, his defense contracts, rove and the corrupt US Attorneys need to pay for their crimes!
