Open Letter on Eric Holder

Here is a copy of what I am sending into my Senators about Eric Holder for what it is worth. . . feel free to send in a copy yourself. We need to let them know what we think of this guy.

Dear Senator

I am writing you to ask that you vote against the appointment of Eric Holder to the post of Attorney General.

I ask this for a number of reasons:

1 – He has come out as stating that he would consider if a corporation has waved it’s rights to the legally protected attorney-client and work-product privileges...including corporate counsel's discussions with employees. This is disgusting. This is a basic right and should not be held against anyone, man or company. We are not supposed to be forced to incriminate ourselves!
2 – He removed a Federal Prosecutor because he had questions on a Waco Cover Up. This is not the way to rebuild trust in our government by helping to hide a possible cover up. Any such actions that even smell of a cover up need to be investigated and proven either true or false to help rebuild our governments damaged image with the people.
3 – He pushed for harsher penalties for people using pot for medical reasons such as Aids pain relief according to the group ACT-UP. Whether or not you believe pot has medical uses this should be decided at the state level and ultimately by the patient and doctor as to how to treat the pain, not the Federal Government.
4 – Supported risking an international incident with Cuba over the SWAT raid to seize Elian Gonzales after publicly saying he did not think it would come to that. He risked the life of a child and US citizens caring for him for political gain.
5 – He tried to cover up info so the Justice Department would support the Pardon for Marc Rich the Financier – Much of the trouble our economy is in now is due to people like Marc Rich and he is covering for them?
6 - Supported clemency for terrorists (FALN folks) who attacked the USA in 120 bomb attacks from 1974-83. We are fighting for our very existence against terrorists, we don’t need our top cop to be easy on them
7 – He is against the Second Amendment and wrote to the courts against the Heller Case. This passed. The Bill of Rights is what it is and should be SACRED to any American. A Second Amendment fight now would also help to further split this country in a time that we need to be working together on much bigger issues like our ECONOMY. We don’t need this distraction now!

Please vote against his appointment and make sure whomever we do finally put in this position is worth of the job and can do it. This is a critical position and we can’t afford to have someone in there that has questionable morals and does not put the good of the country first.

Thanks You

Update: Keyboard and a .45 was nice enough to post links to all the folks on the committee HERE. Time to drop them a note. . . I did
