Sign our Freedom of Information Act request

Just what did George Bush, Karl Rove, Alberto Gonzales and the rest of the Bush White House and Republican senior staff know about the Justice Department firings -- and when did they know it?

Please send a note to your friends, family and neighbors to encourage them to join us in our effort to use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to try to cut through the White House’s nonsense.

Below is an excerpt from the actual request. To read the full letter, click here.

"This letter constitutes a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. §552 ("FOIA"), and is submitted by the undersigned individuals who are concerned about the widening scandal involving improper and potentially unlawful attempts, by the Bush White House, Republican Members of Congress and Republican party officials, to influence and interfere in ongoing criminal investigations being conducted by United States Attorneys and to influence the hiring and firing of U.S. Attorneys for partisan political reasons.

The undersigned requestors fall in the category of “other requestors” for purposes of FOIA and the Department’s FOIA fee regulations. On behalf of the undersigned requestors, the Democratic National Committee will pay any fees for searching or copying the requested records."

Because this is an official Freedom of Information Act request, we need your full address. It will be printed and attached to the request and delivered to the Department of Justice.
