EMERGENCY D.C. MOBILIZATION: Stop the Cover-Up and Fire Karl Rove
Posted by Bob BrighamIf you live near DC, do whatever you have to do to get down to it. From a MoveOn Political Action press release:
Stop the Cover-Up and Fire Karl RoveCitizens to Protest and Picket in Front of White House
Citizens from across the country will join MoveOn Political Action members tomorrow at a protest in front of the White House to demand that President Bush fire his top political advisor, Karl Rove, for outing Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA operative.
Currently the President has refused to take action against Mr. Rove, his close friend and top political advisor. On September 29, 2003, Scott McClellan stated in a White House press briefing: “If anyone in this Administration was involved in it, [theValeriePlameleak] they would no longer be in this Administration.”
MoveOn Political Action, formerly known as MoveOn PAC, demands the administration stay true to its word and fire those responsible for the leak.
Protest details:
Who: Citizens from across the country and MoveOn members Where: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., in front of White House When: Thursday, July 14, 2005, 2:30 PM EST
Full email invite:
Dear MoveOn member,You're invited to come speak out against Karl Rove's abuse of power and demand that President Bush fire Rove. Join other MoveOn members and members of the community at a peaceful protest and picket, Thursday July 14, at 2:30 PM on Pennsylvania Avenue outside The White House.
Rove betrayed the identity of an undercover CIA operative forcing her to end a decade of important national security work. He did it to protect the Bush political agenda. Now, the White House is covering up this betrayal of our national security. The media is ready to report on public outrage about Rove. Will you show up and speak out?
Please join us tomorrow and let Bush, the media and Congress know that Americans are angry about Rove.
What: Protest and Picket to Demand Bush Fire Karl RoveWhere: The White House, Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC (Metro: Farragut West or McPherson Square)When: 2:30 PM :: Thursday, July 14, 2005 (rain or shine)
Signs will be provided.
I'll see you there. Thanks for all you do.

Wednesday, July 13, 2005P.S. If you want to come dressed up in costume as a spy and protest the media will love that. Think: trench coat, sunglasses and a little nametag that says, "Spy."
