Contempt Charges for Holder -- Your Action Requested

 

Grassfire Nation Update 4/30/2012 Mark R., Perhaps due to unlrelenting grassroots pressure in the form of petitions, faxes, and phone calls, CBS News is confirming that House Speaker John Boehner, has given the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee the "go-ahead to proceed" with contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder. For months now pressure has been mounting against Holder regarding his role and knowledge in the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking scandal that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican nationals, and at least one U.S. Border Patrol Agent. According to the CBS News report, pursuing a contempt charge is a "strong sanction" against the executive branch, and considered "politically risky." Grassfire Nation fully supports the effort, and is preparing an emergency petition delivery to Rep. Darrell Issa, the chair of the House Oversight Committee as a show of grassroots support for pushing ahead on this important issue. Our records show that you haven't yet added your name to this important petition. Please do so now by going here. Contempt charges for Holder are not a certainty. As the report said, they have only been green-lighted to do so. Grassfire Nation believes this dramatically increases chances that Congress will move forward and bring some law, order and accountability into this scandal. That's why we are rapidly moving forward with an emergency petition delivery to the House Oversight committee as well as other key members of Congress. Through this petition, grassroots Americans have an opportunity to exert enough pressure so as to move the committee to action. But much depends on you. Take a moment right now to sign our national petition calling for justice and accountability in the "Fast and Furious" scandal by going here. Mark R. given the rogue and reckless nature of "Fast and Furious", the fact that a U.S. Border agent was murdered, and more than a year of stonewalling from the DOJ, it's long past time for closure. As Rep. Issa said, "The American people deserve the truth." Underscore that with an exclamation point by clicking below and signing our petition. After signing, forward this message to 25-30 friends, urging them to sign our petition in time for our next hand-delivery to the House Oversight committee by going here. Let them know that by signing quickly they will be included in our next upcoming delivery.
