Daily Kos: Urge Congress to Vote Contempt for Karl Rove: Live Blog

Democrat Dan Siegelman was Governor of Alabama. Karl Rove--according to sworn testimony--targeted Siegelman to help his best friend's wife. The politically-motivated witch hunt led to Siegelman serving nine months in federal prison. Republicans helped overturn his conviction on appeal. 

Congress has been investigating this politization of the Justuce Department (spearhead of the attacks on Siegelman) and have subpoenaed Rove to appear before the House Judiciary Committee. He has refused. In defiance of the subpoena, Rove continues making numerous public appearances, but none in Congress.

Congress has allowed Rove to duck the subpoena, when by law, he should have been cited for contempt long ago.

You can now urge your Congressional representative to enforce the law and cite--force--Karl Rove to obey its mandates and testify before the Judiciary Committee. Accountability is necessary to preserve the integrity of the rule of law; without it, We encourage the presence of ever-more hyenas in Our midst.
