Fighting the awful Bolton nomination is not partisan, but it is patriotic. Please contact your US Senators (www.senate.gov), and politely but firmly urge a "no" vote on this embarrassing and damaging nominee.
If you need information, I urge you to do some reading at www.thewashingtonnote.com , which has been the best source of information throughout this sad episode in our country's history.
from www.thewashingtonnote.com
May 12, 2005 . . .
According to a source close to the action, "A lot of people misunderstand what a "neutral recommendation" means. It does not mean that the vote was tied. It means literally that a motion is made that the nomination be sent to the floor without recommendation. The Committee could also theoretically report the nomination to the floor with a negative recommendation." . . .
The Committee is ducking here, but that's ok.
This is going to be a great fight -- lots more room to squeeze the issues out and compel the White House to defend a flawed and damaged Bolton nomination.
So, stay tuned -- lots and lots more ahead.
And by the way, victory is preempting the Committee's recommendation to confirm John Bolton.
The tide turned our way today.
