Did You Know?
Who will nominate Max Cleland's replacement on that 9/11 Commission?
Guess what? It's none other than Tom Daschle. A usually reliable friend just emailed me this information.
Who better for Sen. Daschle to nominate than someone from the 9/11 Families' Steering Committee, which, I believe, is the group that has refused to stop asking questions about precisely what it is the Commission is supposed to be investigating.
Why not one of those four "battling" moms Gail Sheehy profiled in the NY Observer back in August?
There's still another five months or so to go before the Commission report will be produced.
Call Daschle's office and let him know what a terrific idea this is, on every possible level, not least, politically. What could be wrong about inviting one of those American citizens most profoundly affected by 9/11 to take a place at the table?
Follow up with an email that includes the url to the Sheehy article.
Here are the numbers: (800) 839-5276 or (800) 648-3516 or Fax
(202) 224-6603
And once again, here's the link to Juan's Contacting Congress, which will allow you to find the webpage of any member of congress, where you will find instructions on how to email.
If you like this suggestion, by all means, let others know, including other bloggers.
