With the US and Israel poised to bomb Iran, possibly igniting nuclear war with Russia, it's urgent to throw obstacles in Bush's path. Here's one chance!

Subject: Bolton Vote Approaching - Outcome Uncertain
Dear Supporter,
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to vote on the nomination of John Bolton to be Ambassador to the United Nations this Thursday, May 12th. Committee Democrats are united against Bolton and four Republicans on the Committee having expressed doubts about him - there is a clear opportunity to defeat this misguided nomination.
With your help, Council for a Livable World has been lobbying hard against this nomination. We have also developed evidence that Bolton lied to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during his confirmation hearings. Democrats on the Committee have requested the release of State Department documents to illustrate Bolton's efforts to pressure intelligence analysts into producing reports that fit his preconceived notions about weapons programs in Cuba and North Korea, and to punish them if they did not comply. Unfortunately, Condoleeza Rice and Senate Republicans are stonewalling and keeping the documents hidden. Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-IN) claims he has the votes to pass the nomination on to the full Senate, but Senators Chafee (R-RI), Hagel (R-NE), Murkowski (R-AK), and Voinovich (R-OH) have all expressed doubts about Bolton's fitness for the position.
With just days to go before a possible vote, here's what you can do to help defeat John Bolton:
1. Write your Senators! Tell them you oppose the Bolton nomination and they should too.
2 . Contribute to the Council's effort to defeat the nomination! We are working hard on Capitol Hill, but we need your support to keep the pressure on. We can win with your help!
This nomination battle offers the chance to hand the Bush administration the first major defeat of its second term. We're close to victory, and with your help we can achieve it!
Sincerely,
John Isaacs and Guy Stevens
