Protest President Bush's Recess Appointment of John Bolton!
Despite widespread opposition from Senators of both parties, as well as the American people, President Bush appointed John Bolton as UN Ambassador. By using the rarely utilized "recess appointment" while Congress is away over the month of August, the White House effectively thumbed its nose at the Senate, bypassing our Constitutional responsibility to "advise and consent" on such a nomination.
It's yet one more example -- as if we haven't seen enough already -- of the absolute arrogance of power displayed by this President and his Administration over and over again.
Enough is enough.
Protest President Bush's foolish decision to recess appoint John Bolton -- email the White House today!

Subject: I protest your appointment of John Bolton
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I strongly object to your recess appointment of John Bolton.
To send such an individual as controversial as John Bolton to be our representative to the world will only undermine our efforts to win friends and allies at this critical time.
Your Administration stonewalled the Senate when it requested critical documents to shed light on Bolton's activities at the State Department.
Further, John Bolton did not tell the truth in a statement to the Senate that he swore was truthful -- relating to being questioned by the Inspector General in his investigation into false claims that Iraq attempted to buy yellow cake uranium from Niger.
Can't your Administration ever admit it made a mistake?
This continued effort to put politics ahead of the national interest will not be forgotten by the American people.
Sincerely,
|
