Giving Karl Rove His Pink Slip

Thursday July 14, 2005

First I want to thank you.

As I write this email more than 18,000 of you have signed up to send your own personal pink slip to Karl Rove demanding his firing. Excellent progress in just 48 hours.

If we are to reach our goal of sending 100,000 pink slips to Karl Rove at the White House in the next few days, we must act now to spread the word. Please use the following link to invite 5 of your friends to join our effort by sending their own personalized pink slip to Mr. Rove.

The silence coming from within the White House is deafening.

First it was Scott McClellan, the President’s Press Secretary, who refused to comment on news reports that Karl Rove was in fact the leak that identified Ambassador Joe Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, as an undercover CIA agent…this after YEARS of commenting on the issue and defending Mr. Rove.

Now even President Bush is refusing to comment. A sharp contrast to his statements during a White House Press Briefing on September 30, 2003 when he said, ”... if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of.”

Karl Rove should be fired and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. There can be no gray area here. What Mr. Rove did is reprehensible. Putting the life of an undercover CIA agent and our national security in jeopardy cannot be tolerated.

He clearly deserves his pink slip, and that’s why we must call on our friends, family and co-workers to join us by sending the President and Karl Rove a message.
