FREE REPUBLIC NETWORK LAUNCHES WEB SITE ON SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE MEMO, CALLS FOR SENATOR ROCKEFELLER TO RESIGN
(Washington, DC) The Free Republic Network today announced the unveiling of www.intelmemo.com, a new web site that provides news, analysis and research material regarding the plans by partisan Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to use sensitive intelligence data for political attacks against the Bush Administration, as outlined in a recently revealed internal memo. The Network also called for the immediate resignation of the Committee’s Vice Chairman, Senator Jay Rockefeller. Executive Director Robert Hahn released the following statement:
“The members of the Senate Intelligence Committee have access to our government’s most sensitive secrets. The lives of America’s soldiers and intelligence agents depend on their using that knowledge responsibly. It is now clear that certain partisan members of this vital committee have conspired to misuse their positions, influence, and access to classified information to undermine President Bush during the 2004 campaign season.
The leaked memo describes a phony ‘independent investigation’ designed to let the Democrats dig through classified material – information that should be used to improve our national security – to support and publicize their political agenda. We agree with Senator Zell Miller that this abuse must not be tolerated, ignored, or excused, and that “heads should roll.”
Therefore, I ask every American citizen to join me in calling for the immediate resignation of Jay Rockefeller from the United States Senate. As ranking Democratic member of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Rockefeller is responsible for the acts of his subordinates. We cannot permit America's national security to be damaged by partisan political warfare.”
The complete contents of the memo, press articles, transcripts from the Congressional Record and other information can be found at www.intelmemo.com.
The Free Republic Network is a 501(c)(4) public service corporation whose mission is to organize, train and support conservative activists nationwide. It provides information and organizational services to more than 50 regional and issue-based chapters around the country, and serves as the activism arm of the Free Republic Forum.
I wish I could believe that.
What is your basis for that comment?
The four keys are "emotion, position, fear, and hope".
Maryland Republicans have an excellent opportunity to defeat Babs next year as there are, so far, SIX Repubs already filed for candidacy for your primary. This gives Old Line Staters six (6) times the opportunity to inundate the voters with the truth about Mikulski's leftist record. Take advantage of it! From politics1.com:
U.S. SENATOR:
Barbara Mikulski (D)* - Next Election in 2004.
Ray Bly (R) - Storage Yard Owner, Vietnam War Veteran & '02 Howard County Council Candidate
Dorothy Corry Jennings (R)
Eileen "Cookie Baker" Martin (R)
E.J. Pipkin (R) - State Sen. & Businessman
Corrogan Vaughn (R) - Limousine Company Owner & '00 Write-In Candidate
Gene Zarwell (R) - International Marketing Consultant & Frequent Candidate
EJ Pipkin looks like he has the best start on publiciizing his campaign.
I wish you were right too. I'm afraid maica has the more likely assessment.
It's amazing the number of people who actually like this old broad AND this is the leftist entrenched people's republic of maryland.
BUT, having said that, we can all hope.
Have had most of the year having to fix horses feet- tooooo much standing water early on.
How/where are you?
I can think of one!
;-)
TS
Pipkin has the most name recognition of all those you listed, but that's not saying much. I think it would take Lt. Gov. Mike Steele to beat Mikulski.
I will, however, remain optimistic and campaign like heck for whomever ultimately runs against her in the general election.
Sign the petition bump. 1642 sigs so far.
