DEMAND THE TRUTH

The American people deserve to know the truth. That's why I seconded the motion Sen. Harry Reid made last week to put the Senate into a special closed session to force the Republican leadership to face lingering questions vital to our national security. Republicans in Congress have refused, despite repeated promises, to investigate the Bush administration's misuse of pre-war intelligence, so Senate Democrats are standing up and demanding the truth.

We want to know how and why the Bush administration distorted intelligence to lead us into war in Iraq. We want to know who else was involved in Lewis Libby's efforts to conceal the White House's deceptions. And we want to know why the Republicans who control Congress have, until just last week, repeatedly accepted the deception coming from the White House and refused to ask the hard questions about the misuse of pre-war intelligence.

Most of all we want to know when George Bush will stop misleading Congress and the American people, acknowledge the mistakes we've made in Iraq, and develop a strategy to achieve military, political and economic success to bring our troops home.

Now you have the opportunity to stand with Harry Reid, me, and the rest of the Senate Democrats. The DSCC has launched a new campaign where you can sign on to our efforts to seek the truth. You can also let us know what questions you want the answers to. I've told you some of the questions Senate Democrats will be asking, but I want to make sure we get the answers the American people want. Join the DSCC's new campaign today and let George Bush know that you stand with Harry Reid and you want the truth about how we were lead to war.

We know that there were no WMDs in Iraq and no connection to the terrorists who attacked America on September 11. Those at the highest levels of the White House have gone to great lengths to spread these myths as justifications for war. They have gone to even greater lengths to conceal the fact that their case for war was based on distorted intelligence. Senate Democrats are going to get the truth.

Join me in demanding answers on behalf of the American people. Together, we will hold the Bush administration and the Republicans in Congress accountable and we will get the truth that every American deserves.

Sincerely,
Dick Durbin

P.S. Our leaders must be held accountable to ALL Americans. Forward this message to your friends and family and ask them stand with us and demand the truth about how we were lead to war in Iraq.
