Background:
When history looks back at the last eight years, it will not be kind to George Bush and Dick Cheney.
We already know a lot - war profiteering and no-bid contracts, torture and secret prisons, and of course the lies that got us into this war in the first place. They turned the Justice Department, the nation's top law enforcement authority, into a political tool. They wrote secret legal memos in an attempt to override the Constitution. The list goes on and on.
We know what's happened, but there is so much that remains hidden. We must find out the truth, exactly what happened, who authorized it and when. This is the first step to ensure that these abuses can never happen again.
JOIN OUR CALL FOR A TRUTH COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE CRIMES OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.
Remember the last time a Republican President broke the law? Congress established the Church Commission to investigate Richard Nixon and Watergate. Recently, the New York Times credited that effort with leading "directly to a series of reforms" curbing executive power and restoring the Constitution.
Now Senator Patrick Leahy is demanding we know the truth about George Bush. Recently, Senator Leahy held the first hearing working to establish a Truth Commission, but there are members of Congress standing in his way. He needs your help.
Don't sit this one out. Spread the word and take action today.
Thank you for everything you do,
-Jim
Jim Dean, Chair
Democracy for America
