- Time For Colin Powell to Resign... for His Country, for
Humanity
- By Gene Latimer
-
- Whatever any of us may
think about Colin Powell’s actions so far, the reality is
that he has a unique opportunity (and motive) to do something
in the next 20+ days that could benefit all of humanity for
generations to come. He has the chance for redemption.
-
- I am inviting you to
participate in a grassroots-forward-it-to-your-own-list
campaign of asking him to take a heroic stand before the
election and resign.

-
- Subject line:
A Historic, Heroic Act
-
- Dear Secretary Powell,
-
- The present moment
offers you the opportunity to take a historic, heroic action.
-
- First of all, I salute
you for protecting the State Department from the
administration ideologues as well as you could during this
time. I believe that future generations will surely honor your
legacy with profound gratitude if you clearly separate
yourself from these forces and take a public stand now. Please
let the citizens of this country and the people of the world
know that you can no longer support the misguided foreign
policy of this administration.
-
- In the name of all who
have been (and will be) harmed by the tragic, unnecessary
invasion of Iraq, I ask you to please resign shortly before
the November 2nd election as a statement against this
administration’s myopic, ideological foreign policy.
-
- Please articulate what
a successful, sustainable foreign policy looks like, what its
principles are — what we as a country must once again
embrace in order to thrive in an international community.
-
- For the sake of
America
, I ask this.
-
- Blessings,
- Gene Latimer
