Background:

In 2004, Justice Department lawyers started getting strange instructions from Washington -- crack down on voter registration drives in urban areas. The idea was to harass progressive organizations and keep poor and minority citizens from getting to the polls.

Many Justice Department lawyers, Republicans and Democrats alike, balked at these unscrupulous orders. They refused to carry out a partisan witch hunt. In return for their disobedience, Washington started cracking down on THEM -- firing a host of them and passing up others for promotion, in what came to be known as the U.S. Attorneys Scandal.

Who gave the vote-suppression orders in the first place? A long trail of evidence indicates that Karl Rove cooked up and executed the whole scheme. To uncover the truth, the House of Representatives has launched an investigation, and asked Rove to testify. He has repeatedly disobeyed Congress's subpoenas, in violation of the law.

The House of Representatives is now considering a measure to hold Rove in contempt of Congress. If found guilty, he could go to jail. By holding Rove in contempt, we'll send a loud and clear signal to all Bush's cronies -- America's elections must be free and fair. Voter suppression will not be tolerated.

Join the hundreds of thousands who have urged the House of Representatives to take a stand against Rove and his dirty tricks.
