Multi-D News Take Action: HOLD CONDOLEEZZA RICE ACCOUNTABLE!

http://ga4.org/campaign/ricehearings?rk=FdqsmbY1jBQfWJoin 19,539 Americans and sign this petition!On Tuesday, January 18th and Wednesday, January 19th, NationalSecurity Advisor Condoleezza Rice will appear before the SenateForeign Relations Committee in a confirmation hearing for herappointment as Secretary of State.Dr. Rice's confirmation hearing must not be a rubber stamp ofPresident Bush's appointment. The Senate must take its "advice andconsent" role seriously.That's why, as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I intendto stand up and ask Condoleezza Rice the tough questions thatAmericans deserve to have answered. Questions like: * Why did the United States go to war in Iraq based on misleading-- if not false and fraudulent -- evidence? * Why did we divert valuable resources and intelligence personnelto Iraq, taking them away from Afghanistan and the pursuit of Osamabin Laden? * Why did you mislead the American people into thinking there wasa connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida before September 11th?We must hold Condoleezza Rice accountable for her misleadingstatements leading up to the Iraq war and beyond before we can evenconsider promoting her to Secretary of State.So I ask you to join with me: Lend your voice to the chorus ofmillions of Americans across our great land who are demanding thatCondoleezza Rice tell the truth about Iraq, weapons of massdestruction, the search for Osama bin Laden, the fight against AlQaida, and the war on terrorism.I urge you to sign my petition below, so I can take your voice with meto the committee room and the floor of the Senate in the pursuit ofthe truth from Condoleezza Rice.Sincerely,Barbara BoxerU.S. Senator
