Now That Karl Rove's Been Held in Contempt by the HJC 

Now that the House Judiciary Committe's held Karl Rove in contempt,
are you going to allow a floor vote? If not, why not?

Hundreds of thousands of people have signed -- and are still signing -- petitions protesting Rove's abuses, including the persecution of a Democratic
governor.

I'm sure you know people are refusing to contribute to the DNC until you act on
this. So what are you going to do?

It's Money That Matters 

Madam Speaker,

The Washington Post reported this week that the federal government is so under-staffed with Inspector Generals that it would take more than 10 years to collect what's owed from fraudulent contracts, over-billing, non-performance, etc. To date ONLY $13 BILLION has been collected from contractors -- and that's not counting the BILLIONS Paul Bremer "misplaced" in Iraq.

The problem is obviously compounded by the sinking dollar, soaring budget deficit, worsening economy, unsafe products and mismanagement by our "MBA president" and his cronies.

Don't you think just might be time to concentrate on collecting some of those funds?

Also, since our retirement funds have tanked under this heckuva administration, might you look at letting us take tax LOSSES in our retirement accounts? Few of us have pensions and benefits like you fine folks in government and we, unlike DC, know -- or knew -- the value of a dollar.

The next time the Rethuglicans complain about the redistribution of wealth, you might note that the money's flowing from us to DC, China, Iraq, Halliburton, Enron, KKR, etc.

How about defending the Middle Class for a change before we become a real banana republic?

Sincerely,
Another Furious Whiner

Support for Contempt Proceedings Against Rove. 

Madam Speaker,

Re Rove's likely refusal to appear before the House tomorrow, it's been reported that your communications director Brendan Daly sent (Huffington Post) the following statement:

Those reports are completely untrue -- the Speaker has not urged the Judiciary Committee not to seek contempt charges against Karl Rove. The committee can seek a contempt citation if it decides to do so. (Fyi, Henry Waxman's Oversight Committee is looking at a contempt citation against the attorney general over documents. The Speaker has no objections to that -- it's the committee's decision.)

A source with the House Judiciary Committee also denied Pelosi was opposing contempt charges.
-----------------------------------------------------------

In view of your office's lukewarm statement, my question to you is do you SUPPORT contempt charges? Please elaborate. Extra points for your opinion of Rove's role in the prosecution of Dem. Gov. Siegelman-Alabama.

Swiftboating, Free Speech & Dirty Tricks 

Any plans to help limit political hate speech like Fox's hate-spewing tirades and Swiftboat-type lies while letting McCain's Secret Service detail arrest the librarian for "trespassing" on public property with a sign saying McCain+Bush?

Maybe you could you also explain how we've ended up with "Free Speech" zones anyway? And why Karl Rove and his minions aren't in jail?

When Rove doesn't bother to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, will you arrest him? 

If not, why not?

This should be an interesting week.
