Send Karl Rove to Jail

By Brave New Films

This sounds like a dream, doesn't it?   Well, it's not.  We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action.

All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail.  We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable.  No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration.

We put together this video to explain the issues surrounding Rove's failure to testify before Congress, and why Rove should be held in contempt and sent to jail.  Check out Send Karl Rove to Jail, and sign our petition to ensure that the HJC holds Rove in contempt. 

Today at 1pm ET / 10am PT, the first episode of Meet the Bloggers will air live, and Karl Rove will be the big topic of discussion with bloggers Marcy Wheeler, Liliana Segura, Baratunde Thurston, and special guest Arianna Huffington.  The video will be featured on the show, sign the petition, forward it to friends (don't forget to Digg it), and go to meetthebloggers.org to send in your own thoughts, and join the discussion at 1pm ET. 

If you can't watch live, you can always see what was discussed on the show anytime you want at meetthebloggers.org.
