Another Political Action Alert
*Sigh* Bush is at it again. His nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.? A man by the name of John R. Bolton, who openly disdains the rule of international law and has said, "There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world and that is the United States when it suits our interest and we can get others to go along.''
More mind-boggling quotes available at Stop Bolton. At Diplomats Against Bolton you can read a petition, "opposing the nomination of John R. Bolton to serve as permanent U.S. representative to the United Nations, [which] has been signed by 67 former U.S. diplomats, State Department officials or officials of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency."
To send a message to your Senators urging them to opposse Bolton's nomination, visit True Majority. I signed up with them about two years ago and have been extremely pleased with the work they do. The number of emails I receive is entirely reasonable, and they almost never write to ask for money. Every time I send a message through True Majority I receive a form letter from my Senator or Congressman detailing his position on that particular issue. If nothing else, I at least know my opinions are being logged by my representatives' offices.
