From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation

Last week, the Patriot/Tea Party movement dropped the ball.

Attorney General Eric Holder finally was forced to appear before Congress on the "Fast and Furious" gun-running debacle that resulted in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. But the movement barely raised a peep. Instead, we allowed the liberal and conservative media to spend the day talking about.... Donald Trump.

Liberty News' Eric Odom posted these challenging words:

The conservative movement has completely dropped the ball on Eric Holder.

As a reminder, what the DOJ did in Fast and Furious looks a lot like criminally negligent manslaughter....

Nevermind the fact that Holder is Stonewalling, possibly in contempt of Congress, the DOJ contains officials who apparently accept big cash bribes and keep their jobs, Holder refused to prosecute Black Panther members who stood outside of voting locations holding blunt weapons, and that the DOJ is using valuable time and resources to file lawsuits against states trying to manage their own affairs and problems.

What’s most important right this minute is that an American Border Agent was murdered by a firearm that was allowed to be possessed by a criminal directly by the Department of Justice.

And worse, Holder lied about when he knew about this. Now, his department is trying to keep information away from us all that would likely bring the house of cards down.

Let me remind you all, last year the conservative movement, fueled by a major part of the conservative blogosphere, brought down Congressman Anthony Weiner for tweeting an inappropriate picture of himself and lying about it. Think about that for a minute. It was the talk of the movement for days on end until Weiner finally cried and admitted his wrong doing. He was forced to resign and his power was stripped from him.

Yet Eric Holder’s department is responsible for the death of an American, they lied about it and appear to be covering their trail, and we spent the entire day yesterday talking about Donald Trump’s endorsement.

I encourage you to read Eric's entire post. Then, consider if this issue is worth taking action on today. If so...

Action #1 -- Sign The "Holder Must Go" Petition.

We already have more than 50,000 signers but we must rally 100,000 or more to let Congress know that citizens are watching this issue closely. If you haven't done so already, go here to sign the petition:

Action #2 -- Fax Congress Now!

The Obama/Holder team is hoping these hearings will come and go with little attention on the scandal at DOJ. It is vitally important that every office on Capitol Hill know that citizens are demanding accountability.

Please take a moment right now to send your faxes directly to Congress today -- so grassroots citizens can make as strong a case as possible that Holder must be held accountable! Go here to schedule your faxes for immediate delivery:

http://www.grassfire.com/1191/offer.asp

Your faxes will be delivered immedaitely -- while this high-profile hearing is still fresh on the minds of members of Congress. If you prefer to send your own faxes, do so (click the link for all the information you need). Either way, please take action.

Action #3 -- Call Your Members of Congress

Let your Rep and Senators know where you stand on this issue:

Representative: Franks 202-225-4576

Senator: McCain 202-224-2235

Senator: Kyl 202-224-4521
