10. Nope, we cannot take Illinois for granted. . .
Besides if Obama works Illinois like he is 5 points down he can possibly help Melissa Bean, Tari Renner and Christine Cegalis.

2. Ask if either has read the 9/11 report
And if not, give them this Star Tribune article on what my senator, Mark Dayton, found out from staying up all night reading the report before the committee met with Kean.

4. Ask what does it mean to have a back bone or a spine.
Follow up question: Where was it during the run up to IWR?

9.  DREAM give 'em this letter & tell em we know all about the cabal, that
we're behind them, and they have to return America to the
Constitution and kill the Patriot Act....

That they have to tell America when they;re back in Congress
about the treasonous acts of dimson/darth vader and the fascism
path they have led this country down....

and ask them to start talking to all the moderate pubs about impeachment and jail time .

That we won't brook just letting them
go this time.. This is far beyond Watergate.

The letter pretty much will let them know where it's at:

AND TELL EM ABOUT YOUR THREAD AND PLAME THREAD ON DU...

_____________________________________________________________________


Dear Congressman Durbin and Mr.Obama


Concerning Time magazine's Joe Klein's July 5 article, page 21 revealed that Valerie Plame was "active in a sting operation involving the trafficking of Weapons of Mass Destruction components"" when her identity was exposed by the White House. It also said" Only a high-ranking official could have had access to the knowledge" that Valerie Plame was a covert CIA agent.

1) Our study group has found that Vice President Cheney since 1995 as CEO of Halliburton was fined 1.2 milion dollars for illegal sales of similar components to Libya. Shortly before becoming Vice President he bitterly assailed US policy against selling such components to Syrria and Iran, which apparently hurt Halliburton's bottom line.

2) Our study group has also found that there is an investigation of Vice President Cheney in other countries for illegal bribery and various other offenses connected to Halliburton as well as paying amounts to secret Swiss bank accounts

3)The Atomic Energy Commission has said a North American company is one of 20 being investigated for black market sales of WMD materials.

Our study group suspects there is more to the White House revealing Valerie Plame's covert CIA status since the Republicans refuse to hold investigations on the matter.

Frankly, it would appear to us that possibly Valerie Plame was stopped in her tracks and the CIA sting operation was exposed because it was coming close to discovering another violation of the laws by our own Vice President and the Hallibuton company he has awarded billions of US taxpayer dollars to in non-bid contracts.

There is a question of where the Vice President's and President's loyalty lies: to their Corporate friends and company's bottom line or to the security and wellbeing of the America.n people?

In any case, the exposure of Valerie Plame by the White House was and is treasonous.

The responsibility of the Media and Congress is to expose these wrong doings, investigate and safeguard against this type of occurrence for the American people.

WHY are you not fulfilling your role to me, to my study group, and the rest of the American people in this country and WHEN will you start ?


Sincerely

Anna Pallas
Citizens Restoring United States Honesty

P.S. (Congressman Durbin, we adore you, and admire your courage in speaking out..we watch you on C Span whenever you're there.)
