Take Action: Demand Congress Vote "Yes" to Hold Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder In Contempt!


Vote Scheduled to Hold Eric Holder
In Contempt of Congress
URGENT: Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder has stonewalled and lied to Congress and the American people for far too long. He has ignored the law of the land and abused his power too many times.
And now it's time for Holder to pay the piper!
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee finally has scheduled a vote to hold Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress for his ongoing failure to comply with subpoenas and hand over documents vital to the Congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious.
In other words, the Obama-Holder Justice Department has essentially obstructed justice.
Of course, the vote to hold Holder in contempt, which is scheduled to happen just days from now, is long overdue. But now that the vote has been set, it is up to us to hold Congressional politicians' feet to the fire to make sure they do their duty.
No more lies, no more stonewalling and no more obstructing justice. Eric Holder and the entire Obama Administration are not above the law!

Will Our So-Called Congressional Leaders
Actually Follow Through With It?
Or Will They Give Holder Another Pass?
We all know what a disaster Operation Fast and Furious turned out to be. Thousands of guns were allowed to walk into the hands of violent thugs and criminal drug cartels south of the U.S.-Mexico border. And at least one U.S. border patrol agent, Brian Terry, was gunned down and killed as a result.
Yet, the Obama-Holder Justice Department has refused to cooperate with the investigation to get to the bottom of Fast and Furious and continues to grossly work to hide the truth about who knew what and when regarding the details of the program.
What are they hiding? Why the veil of secrecy? Is it because Holder and other officials at the highest level of government are trying to cover their own hides? The evidence thus far suggests the answer to that question is a definitive "YES!"
Yet, for more than a year now Congressional investigators have continually given Holder a free pass despite being lied to, laughed at and stonewalled.
And within hours of Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announcing that the long-overdue contempt vote is scheduled for June 20th, we were already hearing talks of "compromise."
As CNN reported:
"Attorney General Eric Holder offered Tuesday to negotiate with congressional leaders on turning over documents involving the botched 'Fast and Furious' gun-running sting operation to avoid what he said could become a constitutional crisis."
Negotiate? Constitutional crisis? Excuse us, Mr. Attorney General, but you have obstructed justice and hid the truth for far too long. The United States is a nation of laws, not men. And the days of you holding yourself above the law must now come to an end.
The Obama-Holder Justice Department has had more than enough time to cooperate with the investigation. No more negotiations and no more compromises. The American people demand a contempt vote and we demand it now!
