Message from former Governor Don Siegelman.


I received a note from former Governor Don Siegelman of a petition for Congress to hold Rove in contempt. The website is http://www.contemptforrove.com/. Here is his note:

Urge Congress to Find Rove in Contempt

Recently, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Karl Rove, demanding his testimony about his own role in the politicization of the Department of Justice and politically motivated prosecutions of Democratic leaders, including me.
Karl Rove refused to even show up for the hearing, claiming that Congress has no power to compel senior White House officials from testifying. That's outrageous. Yet again, Karl Rove has showed his callous disregard for the law and for Congress' constitutional role as a co-equal branch of government.
It's time for Congress to act: Forward an email to your Member of Congress below, urging him or her to support a contempt resolution against Karl Rove. If Karl Rove won't respond to a legitimate Congressional subpoena, it's time to turn up the heat.

Don

The petition will be on the left hand side for others to sign.

Sounds alot like Jean Palfrey's case as the jurors and Grand Jury were tainted. But Siegelman case is proving to be something out of a horror movie. I know the Judge was on the take but these idiots were so open with their plan. Mistakes were made and now the proof is in the emails. Only in the Bush America could people give an innocent man a guilty only because they wanted to go home. I wonder how those jurors would feel if it were them in the hot seat and someone did that to them. This just goes to show you how corruption spreads.
