I received this in my e-mail from the good Congressman:

Dear Sapphira,

Today, in hearings on Capitol Hill, I confronted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on her role in the lies, exaggerations, and misdirection that led us into the Iraq war.

During my questioning, Secretary Rice falsely stated that she never saw intelligence casting doubt on the Bush Administration claims that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. This unbelievable statement is flatly contradicted by numerous government reports and CIA testimonials. (To watch the video of my exchange with Secretary Rice, click here.)

Secretary Rice's responses demonstrate once and for all that we need aggressive oversight over this out of control Administration. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has ignored the constitutional right of Congress to provide such oversight.

It is time Congress took aggressive action to assert our rights on behalf of the American people.

The House of Representatives must immediately hold former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten in contempt of Congress for their failure to respond to congressional subpoenas.

I have been aggressively lobbying Members of Congress to support a vote on contempt, and I am thrilled to report that Speaker Pelosi told me directly that she agrees it is well past time to vote on contempt. I am anticipating that the House will shortly vote on resolutions of both civil and criminal contempt for both Miers and Bolten.

No one should be immune from accountability and the rule of law.

Not Harriet Miers or Josh Bolten.

And especially not Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush or Dick Cheney.

It is time to defend the Constitution and our rights as a co-equal branch of government.

I will continue to take on the Bush Administration for their outrageous abuses just as I confronted Condoleezza Rice today and Attorney General Mukasey last week.

With your help we will hold these top Bush officials in contempt and continue our efforts to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney.

Thank you, as always, for your great support.

Yours truly,

Congressman Robert Wexler

Maybe people don't

want to hear this, but if you take away the GW administration baggage, I don't believe Wexler nailed her at all. She is way more articulate than anyone else in the administration and I don't think he rattled her at all.

With that said, I do believe that she should be investigated and brought up on war crime charges.

Thank you Sapphira

Another good guy fighting for justice. Let's show the Iraqi that we care.

Could this bring the house of cards down?

I wonder if the testimony of these ex-staffers would be enough to bring down Bush and Cheney. Does anyone know?

So it's probably getting hammered. Try again

Bumped

For being important, however... to support this guy you're gonna need to point out a place/thing/something we can do TO support him...

~Live life to its fullest, with an open heart, open arms and most important... an open mind~

Oh, I'm not particularly looking to support him....

Although that would be a good thing. I wanted to show the on-goings in the section of Congress that we don't see. We get to see "steroids in Baseball"
