Support Bolton


Sin duda es polémica la candidatura de John Bolton para ejercer como Embajador de los Estados Unidos de América ante la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. Esa condición lo ha hecho víctima de maliciosas y partidistas críticas, inclusive hasta de parte de sus colegas. Sin embargo, por acciones y cumplimientos, se ha reivindicado. Si la candidatura es rechazada por el Senado, entonces se cierra sistemáticamente la puerta del gobierno hacia los americanos realmente talentosos. La votación final se llevará a cabo el próximo jueves 12 de mayo. Tenemos el suficiente tiempo para apoyarlo de la siguiente manera:

1. Phone and write to Senator George Voinovich's office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. Senator Voinovich is the primary reason we're in the position we're in right now but it?s extremely important that your communications remain polite and stick to the facts. His Capitol Hill Senate office phone number is 202-224-3353 and more contact information for his different offices is here. Those of you who live in Ohio should contact his district office closest to where you live.

2. Contact Senator Lincoln Chafee?s office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. His Capitol office phone number is 202-224-2921 (fax: 202-228-2853). Those of you in Rhode Island should also call his district offices in the state. Contact information is
here.

3. Contact Senator Chuck Hagel's office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. His Capitol office phone number is 202-224-4224 (fax: 202-224-5213). Those of you in Nebraska should also call his district offices in the state. Contact information is here.

4. Write a letter to the editor of the Washington Post (1150 15th St NW Washington, DC 20071-0070) and Washington Times (3600 New York ve NE Washington, DC 20002). Make sure to indicate from which state you?re from. They'd love to hear from citizens outside the beltway.

5. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Do you want your Senator to see your letter? Mention him/her by name.

6. Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks to help keep Washington DC accountable.
