It's Time for Alberto Gonzales to Resign A special message from Congressman Joe Courtney:
When Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, he continued the trend of misinformation and deception that has become all too common within the Bush Administration.
We can no longer tolerate this conduct, and I ask you to join with me today in calling for the resignation of Alberto Gonzales.
In response to questioning on the warrantless wiretapping program, Mr. Gonzales said that there was no dissent within the Administration over the President's decisions to authorize the National Security Agency to spy on the emails and telephone calls of American citizens without a warrant. The truth of his statements has been called into question by not only the contradictory testimony of former deputy Attorney General James Comey and FBI Director Robert Mueller, but also by the statements of CIA Director Michael Hayden and Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte.
This intentional act of deceit by Mr. Gonzales is just the latest episode in a chain of unacceptable behavior from the Attorney General. Mr. Gonzales was previously found to have misled Congress about his involvement in the politically motivated firings of nine federal prosecutors. As someone who is charged with upholding the laws of this country, it is intolerable that Mr. Gonzales has found it so easy to personally dispense with them.
Join me in calling for the resignation of Alberto Gonzales by urging 1000 people to sign the petition by Labor Day. Mr. Gonzales has been given ample opportunity to explain all of his actions and tell the truth, but each time he continues his campaign of disinformation. Enough is enough!
Sign the petition and forward this page to your friends so they too can add their voice to this call for truth . Our goal is to send your signature along with 999 others to the White House by Labor Day. Together we can send a message to the Bush Administration that our citizens demand the truth and will no longer tolerate deception
