I received the following email today - and I want to share it with all of you on FR. Please send this link to all your friends and family - we need to put the pressure on about releasing the Barrett Report:

Greetings to the GOPUSA Family of Activists!

Please see the message below from our friends at The Center for Individual Freedom and find more about the Barrett Commission.

Keep up the fight, Robert R. Eberle, Ph.D.

The CFIF assessment of the Barrett Report:

Did you know a Commission report exists that exposes ugly, festering Democrat corruption at the highest levels of government?

Did you know that this report might ruin Hillary Clinton's chances to run for president and even jeopardize her reelection campaign?

Did you know that Democratic Senators Byron Dorgan, Carl Levin, Dick Durbin, John Kerry and Congressman Henry Waxman, with the help of Democratic judges, suppressed key portions of this report?

Did you know that the suppressed sections reveal some of the most obscene abuses of power in the history of the presidency?

If you've never heard of the Barrett Commission Report, I'm not surprised. The liberal news media continues to refuse to give the story the coverage it deserves. They don't want you to know that this unexploded bombshell exists.

Here are the facts:

On May 24, 1995, David Barrett was appointed to head a commission investigating President Clinton's Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros, who was accused of paying hush-money to his ex-mistress, committing tax fraud, and lying to the FBI.

During the course of his investigation, Mr. Barrett uncovered a scandal that dwarfed the Cisneros fiasco -- the Clinton Administration's use of the IRS and the Justice Department to bully, intimidate, and silence political enemies.

For the next several years, Mr. Barrett and his team -- initially alerted to the abuse of power by a whistle blower at the IRS -- widened their investigation to include the IRS (headed by Hillary Clinton's old college chum, Margaret Milner Richardson), the Justice Department (headed by Clinton crony Janet Reno), and the White House itself (headed by co-presidents Bill and Hillary).

The Barrett Report discusses in detail the cases of people whom the IRS and the Justice Department persecuted on orders from the White House. These included women who had accused President Clinton of sexual misconduct and even rape: e.g., Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, and Gennifer Flowers. All three were targeted for audit by the Clinton-controlled IRS.

And These Women Were Not The Only Ones

The White House ordered the FBI to send over the personnel files of hundreds of Republicans who served in the Bush Administration.

Is it possible that the Clintons turned this highly sensitive information over to the Democratic National Committee to use as political ammunition in future elections?

Hillary wanted to hand over the lucrative White House Travel Office to one of "our people" so -- according to a White House insider -- she ordered the firing of Travel Office Bill Dale and six of his employees. And when Dale protested, she ordered the FBI to "get" him.

And here's the most sinister ploy of all: When the Clintons found out that Barrett was investigating their outrageous use of the IRS and Justice Department, they ordered surveillance of Barrett himself and his team.

Question: With the suppression of the Barrett report, why have all the high-profile liberal organizations that claim to fight government corruption gone mute?

Answer: They're only concerned with alleged rights violations by Republicans. On Monday, I ran a search on the Common Cause website for the Barrett Report. The result: "nothing found." The featured story? Jack Abramoff!

Folks, this buried body is a HUGE story!

The Barrett Report could contain evidence of shocking criminal activity by the Clinton White House.

The suppression of this report by the Democratic leadership is equally shocking, equally vile, equally worthy of front-page coverage.

Some of the biggest names in the U.S. Senate have worked to keep the truth from the American people in order to protect their dirty political allies.

If the Barrett Report comes out before the general public, liberals will be wiped out in the mid-term elections and Hillary Clinton will be fighting for her political life.

Why Is This Story Still Under Wraps?

But wait a minute! Just how did the Democrats manage to hide this still-warm corpse?

Here's how they operated:

When the Barrett Report was complete in 2004, Clinton lawyers set out to suppress the radioactive document in its entirety or to excise those parts dealing with criminal activity on the part of the White House. Team Clinton filed some 140 motions designed to delay the Barrett Report or kill it outright. For over a year, Clinton's legal team stalled its publication.

As columnist Robert Novak reported: "An IRS whistleblower told Barrett of an unprecedented cover-up. The informant said a regional IRS official had formulated a new rule enabling him to transfer an investigation of Cisneros to Washington to be buried by the Justice Department. Barrett's investigators found Lee Radek, head of Justice's public integrity office, determined to protect President Clinton."

Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and John Kerry (D-MA) attempted to slip a provision into the Iraq-war spending bill that would have suppressed the ENTIRE Barrett Report.

Eventually, Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) -- supported by Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Senator Kerry, and Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) -- slyly stuck a provision in a 2005 appropriations bill that gave three judges the power to censor the report.

And here's the kicker: Two key Republican lawmakers -- Senator Kit Bond (R-MO) and Representative Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) -- agreed!!!

Bond and Knollenberg gave away the store. They also may have given the Democrats control of Congress and snatched Hillary's presidential bid out of the flames.

However, Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Congressman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) are determined to force release of the ENTIRE REPORT -- WARTS AND ALL.

But they can't do it without our help -- yours and mine.

Can The Barrett Report Really Knock Hillary Off Her Pedestal?

She is so smug right now, so sure of herself , so clever at "repositioning" herself that no one believes she can be beaten.

You can be sure the House of Dior is already designing her inaugural dress.

Can anything derail the Hillary Express?

Veteran observers of the political landscape believe the Barrett Report might just stop that train dead in its tracks.

Tony Snow -- who has been a news analyst for the Washington Times and Fox News -- wrote: "By all accounts, the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Clinton's presidential prospects."

Robert Novak, the dean of political columnists, has written: "Its disclosures could dig deeply into concealed Clinton administration scandals."

And Carl Limbacher -- in an article entitled "Report Could Torpedo Hillary Clinton's Prez Plans" -- has written: "Hillary is said to be particularly vulnerable to the Barrett report's exposure, since her old college chum, Margaret Milner Richardson, ran the IRS at the time."

Novak has said that "hardly any of Barrett's allegations will remain" now that Democratic leftists have bottled up the genie.

However, he sees hope in Chuck Grassley:

"A stubborn Iowa farmer who often drives the White House and Republican leaders to distraction, he said that if the Barrett report finally emerges as a mutilated remnant in order to protect the IRS, he will press for legislation to change that."

Let's help that stubborn Iowa farmer get the FULL TRUTH out to the American people.

But .. when they hear from the people who actually vote for them in their district .. they can get a lot of courage in a hurry. It's the bubble of DC that keeps them quiet.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. your assumptions are all incorrect.

The truth is .. in order to run for President .. you have to have it burning in your belly. GHW Bush did not have that for a second term - GW did.

That's the truth.

It was Clinton who had the Mena/CIA/drug connection - not the Bush family.

[CyberAnt]

Yes, I've heard that too .. but the source of that info is a left-leaner and if they believe George Allen might be a strong candidate .. then the lie about his distancing himself from Bush would be typical of their misinformation.

I believe it also may be a plan to keep George Allen from getting re-elected to the Senate. I do want George re-elected [even though I can't vote for him] - because I believe he will be able to take to the floor of the Senate and convey some important information to conservatives about his ideas and his convictions.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm?? Interesting observation.

I wonder if McCain is involved in some shady stuff that's in the Barrett Report, and he doesn't want it to come out. And .. it might explain why he's so cozy with so many dems. Hmmmmm??

[CyberAnt]

I forgot to say thanks for getting involved and making those contacts.

If everyone who votes would do that - we could see some major changes.

[Natural Law]

I guess the subtle sarcasm was just a bit over your head.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I'll call Dennis Kucinich's office. That'll do a lot of good!

[CyberAnt]

Yes, it will .. I saw Dennis on the Able Danger hearings with Chris Shays. He was clearly on the side of Sheaffer - so he might be very receptive of the Barrett Report being released.

Don't assume - just do the asking. We must be cowed by thinking our calls are no good - THEY ARE GOOD - AND OUR VOICES NEED TO BE HEARD.

So they don't always respond the way we like - more often - THEY DO.

[CyberAnt]

Insults don't work on me.

And .. if you were using sarcasm .. it's only polite to use the [/s] tag at the end - because not everybody holds daily conversations with you and knows how you think.

You're overestimating your importance!

[CyberAnt]

Well .. that wouldn't surprise me.

I only know that when he began his run against W in 2000, his wife was sporting a "Hillary pin". That did it for me.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Did Grassley sign his 180 yet?

[frannie]

I truly hope you don't receive many replies criticizing you for a thought I have had in the same direction as you.
I don't know all the ins and outs but it is mighty suspicious to see Bush 41 being so friendly with "Bill" and not defending his son who has been attacked time and again by both Clintons.

It seems to me it is not just the Democrats but also some HIGH Republicans that may not want this report out.

[Digger]

These chicken shi* morons are all talk no action, got a e-mail from Eberle asking me to fax these jerks. Why should I have to pay for fax for them to do their job, they aren't going to to it any way.

Again & again & again this corrupt"Two-Party Cartel" which is owned by the elites, will never let the lib establishment to decline so as a true conservative agenda can flourish. So keep voting these same creatures in via these two factions & I guarantee you the same results.

[Digger]

I've always suspected that Bush 41 punted on his reelection bid because the Clinton's had some dirt on his involvement in the Mena / CIA / drug connection. I suspect there is some quid pro quo with Bush 43 in keeping both stories quiet. But hey, my tin foil hat might need the batteries replaced too.

I would say you are 98% correct. I firmly believe that most all are - exception Reagan & Buchanan. They ( the elites) did not own them & that is why they are/were continually smeared.

[Natural Law]

There is only reason to vote Republican - Democrats.

[rodguy911]

The truth is sooner or later someone in the Senate or the house has to grow a pair and do the right thing. We can't expect Curt Weldon to carry the ball for everyone, everywhere, all the time.

[Mr Cobol]

Tony Snow said that Pence was 'committed' to getting the report released so I'm waiting for that. /s

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Thanks for posting this.

[Shooter1001]

C'mon, vital secrets concerning our wartime intelligence gathering are leaked to the NY Times and this report can't be leaked somehow?

Isn't there anyone with the testicular fortitude to do it. You can't tell me that there aren't 100 people in DC that know exactly what's in this report and probably have copies of it.

Hillary must have more than 1,500 files!
