I wrote early this morning<\/a> about Thus Spake Ortner<\/a>‘s discovery that the IVAW intend to take their fantasies to Congress. My new buddy, Coby has written a petition that I’d like ya’all to sign. It asks that the Congressional Progressive Caucus;<\/p>\n * Make request of the Iraq Veterans Against the War that member(s) of the Caucus be provided video of the entire Winter Soldier Investigation “testimony” proceedings and be provided access to all those who testified,<\/p>\n *That the Caucus require any testimony given by IVAW be presented in the following format: * That in the event that staff determines that there has been testimony given that touches on areas where, in the words of Senator Warner, the members of the SASC “have a responsibility to establish where in the military chain of command rests the ‘accountability,’ depending of course, on the accuracy of the facts…”, the Caucus forward the information to the House Armed Services Committee (HASC),<\/p>\n * That the Caucus request and all documents and records, signed statements and recordings, audio, video or digital, that bear on the claims made and being investigated,<\/p>\n * That the Caucus demand that those making such claims or professing publicly to verify those claims be requested or subpoened to appear before the HASC under oath, to answer questions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can find the petition here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus<\/a>;<\/p>\n Co-Chairs<\/strong> Vice Chairs<\/strong> Senate Members<\/strong> House Members<\/strong><\/strong> If you have the misfortune to live in one of those districts, please contact their offices and express your displeasure and what you expect from your elected representatives. If you don’t have your representative’s contact information you can find it on Congress.org<\/a>. It’s been my experience that faxes and phone calls get a better response than email (which usually ends up in trash folder before anyone reads it).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
