Sign the letter to Joementum!

[Jo March]

Dear Arnheim,

Last week, Joe Lieberman told critics of the war in Iraq to keep quiet. According to Joe, by exercising your right of free speech, you "undermine the president's credibility."

Senator Lieberman wants you to be quiet while the Bush administration continues the same strategy that has lead to almost three years of conflict with no end in sight. But Democracy for America Chair Jim Dean isn't going to be quiet. And neither should you.

Please co-sign Jim Dean's open letter to Senator Lieberman today:

Over 40,000 Democracy for America members have already signed the letter. We just need 10,000 more signatures to send Senator Lieberman the message loud and clear that we need debate in this country. Can you help us get there?

Jim Dean will join Connecticut DFA leaders to deliver the letter, with your personal post script, to Senator Lieberman's office in Hartford tomorrow. Our goal is to persuade Senator Lieberman that he was right two years ago when he said:

"In our democracy, a president does not rule, he governs. He remains always answerable to us, the people. And right now, the president's conduct of our foreign policy is giving the country too many reasons to question his leadership."1

Unfortunately, Senator Lieberman has forgotten his own words. If he wants to play cheerleader-in-chief for President Bush, that's his right. But as President Theodore Roosevelt said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."2

Joe Lieberman is a distinguished leader of the Democratic Party. But on this issue he is just plain wrong. Join me today in sending him the strongest message possible.

Tom Hughes
Executive Director
