Subject: Urgent Legislative Action Alert! Oppose Ambassador Susan Rice as Secretary of State!

Visit our News page IMPORTANT AND TIME-SENSITIVE LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT! PLEASE ASK YOUR MEMBER OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO SIGN REP. JEFF DUNCAN'S LETTER OPPOSING SUSAN RICE AS SECRETARY OF STATE! http://www.capwiz.com/actforamerica/dbq/officials/ Dear Lee, We understand that President Obama may be considering Ambassador Susan Rice to serve as U.S. Secretary of State if Hillary Clinton steps down as expected. We assume that this possibility is as shocking to you as it is to us; particularly considering the unconscionable misinformation campaign that Ms. Rice was a part of immediately following the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi—an attack that resulted in the brutal murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. As you will recall, days after the violence against our embassy in Benghazi, Ms. Rice went on numerous television shows claiming that the attack was spontaneous and solely due to a low budget You Tube video—instead of recognizing it for the act of terrorism that it clearly was. In response to the outlandish possibility that Ambassador Rice is indeed being considered as a possible next Secretary of State, Congressman Jeff Duncan (R-SC) is circulating a congressional letter to President Obama expressing strong opposition to the nomination of Ms. Rice for this important post. Today, he will be asking every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to join with him by signing the letter. The letter states, in part "we, the undersigned are deeply troubled by reports that you may be considering Ambassador Susan Rice to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State," and further, that "Ambassador Rice is widely viewed as having either willfully or incompetently misled the American public in the Benghazi matter." The letter ends by stating "we strongly oppose any efforts to nominate Ambassador Susan Rice for the position of Secretary of State." We need your help to see that every Member of the U.S. House of Representatives adds his or her name to this critical statement of opposition. Please see below exactly what help we need today. *** Important Action Item *** Congressman Duncan's letter will be circulated around the U.S. House of Representatives for signatures today and is expected to be sent to the President tomorrow, Friday, so time is of the essence! Today, please call YOUR member of the U.S. House of Representatives and ask him/her to sign on to the letter that Congressman Duncan is circulating, opposing the nomination of Susan Rice to serve as our U.S. Secretary of State.
