CONSTITUENTS TO REP. JIM GERLACH:
GIVE BACK MONEY FROM ROVE FUNDRAISER
President’s Top Adviser Under Pressure to Resign for Revealing Identity of Undercover CIA Agent
RALLIERS ASK GERLACH TO REJECT ROVE AS PRESSURE MOUNTS NATIONALLY FOR PRESIDENT TO FIRE HIM
Washington, DC—Pennsylvania citizens will protest Congressman Jim Gerlach tonight for accepting contributions at a high-dollar-donor fundraiser in Washington, DC held with disgraced White House advisor Karl Rove. Rove is under investigation for revealing the identity of an undercover CIA agent.
“Congressman Gerlach shouldn’t benefit from Karl Rove’s participation at a fundraising dinner because Rove blew the cover of a CIA agent. Now Gerlach looks like he doesn’t care or that raising money is more important than protecting national security,” said Cynthia Baughman, a MoveOn member from Douglassville, Pennsylvania.
“Gerlach should call for Rove to resign or President Bush to fire him. The President said that he would ask anyone in his administration that was involved in the security leak to leave. Does Jim Gerlach put fundraising before national security?” said Tom Matzzie, MoveOn Washington Director.
Top presidential advisor and deputy policy chief, Karl Rove, revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent according to Newsweek.
“Whether he outed the agent knowingly or not, he is unfit to serve as a top advisor to a president of the United States,” said Eric Inman from Wayne, Pennsylvania.
