Got this from the DNC


The [Democratic] party also has collected 50,000 signatures on petitions calling for an independent, bipartisan investigation into how the faulty claim made its way into the president's speech. In the Senate, New Jersey Democrat Sen. Jon Corzine proposed an independent commission to conduct a full-scale investigation of White House handling of Iraq intelligence.

But Republicans are working overtime to cover up the Bush administration's lies. As the Wall Street Journal reports:

Throughout the Capitol, Republicans are scrambling to close ranks around the president. Senate Republicans this week distributed White House-cleared talking points to all members, and House aides are booking members as fast as they can on television and talk shows to defend the president.


The letter goes on to ask for donations (and I'm all for that) but I'm asking YOU to start writing to the media and speak out everytime you see some GOP congressional member on TV, on the net or in print defending the lying of this administration. In the past two days I've called the offices of my senators and Majority Leader Frist to demand an independent bipartisan investigation of the continuing stories of faulty intelligence created by and covered-up in this administration.

Our soldiers are dying in Iraq. It's the least we can do as Americans by putting our opinions out there for what we see is very wrong with this White House and that we demand a PUBLIC accounting.
