From Robert Greenwald, petition demanding Condi's resignation.
Dear Supporter

Thanks to a new report from ABC News, we now know that Condoleezza Rice led White House meetings authorizing torture that were so detailed, "the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed."

Watch the video: http://bravenewfilms.org/watch/27188832/35714?utm_source=rgemail

How can we express the terrible shock we have felt from the fact that our government is using torture? How can we express what so many of us are thinking-that it is absolutely appalling to know that our representatives are implementing barbaric instruments of torture as policy? How do we express our moral outrage?

Perhaps more importantly, how do we begin to take steps towards ending this heinous crime? Sign the petition and demand Secretary of State Rice to resign.

Our allies at True Majority, USAction, and Democracy for America have launched a campaign to START calling out our leaders by focusing on Condoleezza Rice. No, she is not the President. But we want to call attention to the fact that the Secretary of State called for torture when she was National Security Adviser.

This is our campaign to get all three Presidential nominees to call for Rice's resignation. Accountability must start with her, especially now that she's being mentioned as a potential Vice Presidential candidate. We want to push all the Presidential candidates on this issue. They need to make a public stance: Condi Must Go!

Join us in taking action. Join us in creating a firestorm while the traditional media is missing in action. Join us in spreading the word to mobilize our country. We cannot tolerate officials with a blatant disregard for human rights.

Yours,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Team

P.S. Your support to get McCain to co-sponsor the GI Bill for the 21st Century has been fantastic-we had over 33,000 signatures that we delivered to John McCain's office on Monday! But yesterday, McCain declared he STILL won't sign the GI Bill, despite its bipartisan support from 54 senators. McCain has the unfounded fear that improving GI benefits would encourage our troops to leave the military and go to college.

If you haven't done so, please sign our GI Bill petition now and pass it along to your friends. We must keep the pressure on McCain, whose hypocrisy on this issue is blatant!
