My Letter To Senator Reid
Dearest Senator Reid,
I want to commend you on standing up for Americans yesterday [11/1/2005] by demanding accountability for the reasons/lies Bush used for going to war.
I realize you are the Senator from Nevada but as minority leader of the Senate you also represent me [a Texan]. Though I have complete faith in your ability to ask the pertinent questions regarding the misinformation given by Bush for the reasons he gave for the Iraq war, I would like to give you a list of the questions I want answers to. As an American, I feel I have the right to have my voice heard. Actually these questions come from David Sirota but they also speak for me.
QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING: Why did President Bush say in 2002 that “Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program" when two critical reports – an IAEA one from 1997 and a CIA one from 2001 – made clear that there was absolutely no evidence of that claim? And why in 2003, did both Condoleezza Rice ignore these intelligence documents and insist that Bush's nuclear claim was "absolutely supportable" when in fact it was not?
QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING: Why in his 2003 State of the Union address did President Bush claim that aluminum tubes Iraq purchased were for uranium enrichment, when the White House received intelligence in 2002 that such a claim was untrue? And why did Condoleezza Rice in July of 2003 claim that the intelligence community's "consensus view" was that the tubes were being used for nuclear weapons, when in fact a March 2003 IAEA report specifically said that wasn't true?
QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING: Why in late 2002 did President Bush say definitively that Iraq "could launch a biological or chemical attack in as little as 45 minutes" and that Iraq definitely "possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons" when, in fact, Bush's own Defense Intelligence Agency said it had no proof to support these claims?
QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING: Why did President Bush and Vice President Cheney repeatedly claim that Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda had an operational relationship, and why did Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld claim there was "bulletproof" evidence of such a relationship, when intelligence and foreign government sources repeatedly told the White House that wasn't true?
In closing, Senator Reid, I would like to say that up until yesterday I had lost faith in the Democratic Party/leadership in this once fine country and had decided to never vote again but by your brave actions, demanding accountability of the Bush administration for taking us into an unnecessary war, killing thousands of Americans and Iraqi, a spark of hope has once again been ignited in my breast.
Please, Please do not fail US/me. Please remain brave and strong in the face of this corrupt administration and it's unholy supporters.
Best regards and blessings.
THANK YOU

Amen, sister! Liberals everywhere have got to unite, and stop casting those farther to the left into the political wasteland. Come to The American Peoples Congress blog at www.apctahoma.blogspot.com and get involved in the discussion.
Let me know what you think of the concept and whether it could work in your neck of the woods.
Peace!
