, May 26th, at 12:30 P.M., we're holding in-person meetings with dozens of Senators' and Representatives' offices, including yours, urging them to use their power to fire Rumsfeld.

Sign up to participate, at:

http://meetings.truemajority.org

Our friends at True Majority have taken the lead in organizing these meetings, which will take place in our hometowns, not DC, and will most likely last about 1/2 hour to 1 hour.

An in-person meeting is the single most effective way to make sure your voice is heard in Washington, and with Congress home for recess next week, we have a terrific opportunity to insist that Rumsfeld be fired. Our ad campaign will be hitting the airwaves next week too, reinforcing our message.

We and True Majority will set up the meeting for you and provide you with everything you need (talking points, fact sheet and helpful hints in dealing with congressional offices) to make your case that America should affirm human rights, salvage our international standing and begin to restore honesty in government by immediately firing the architect of the attack on Iraq and its quagmire aftermath.

Sign up now to be part of these important meetings, at:

Thank you, for all you do.

Sincerely,

- Peter Schurman

P.S.: Support for firing Rumsfeld is broad and growing. Here's a sample of newspapers across the country that have called on Bush to fire Rumsfeld or for Rumsfeld to resign:

"It is time now for Mr. Rumsfeld to go, and not only because he bears personal responsibility for the scandal of Abu Ghraib. That would certainly have been enough. The United States has been humiliated to a point where government officials could not release this year's international human rights report this week for fear of being scoffed at by the rest of the world."

- The New York Times, May 7, 2004, New York, New York

"Rumsfeld Must Go."

- Boston Globe, May 7, 2004, Boston, Massachusetts

"It is time for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to prepare the final document of a long and sometimes illustrious public career: his letter of resignation."

- The Plain Dealer, May 7, 2004, Cleveland, Ohio

"The reality is that, if Bush is going to clean house, it makes no sense to stop with Rumsfeld. Considering how the Bush administration has made a mess of the situation in Iraq - from the wrong intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to the incredible lack of planning for the post-war situation to the entirely unnecessary alienation of allies - the whole national security team should be fired."

- Newsday, May 7, 2004, New York, New York

"Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, should resign immediately. If they do not, they should be fired."

- Star Tribune, May 7, 2004, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"This is not the first time we've called for the removal of Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary. Only Rumsfeld or the president can assure that it's the last."

- Seattle Post-Intelligencer, May 6, 2004, Seattle, Washington

"Donald Rumsfeld has to go. The secretary of Defense should tender his resignation to President George W. Bush, and if he doesn't, the president ought to fire him."

- Detroit Free Press, May 7, 2004, Detroit, Michigan

"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should resign and take his top deputies with him. That includes Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Undersecretary Douglas Feith."

- St. Louis Post-Dispatch, May 6, 2004, St. Louis, Missouri
