"Resolved: That the House of Representatives and the American people have lost confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and urge the President to request his resignation and to nominate a new candidate more capable of serving as head of the Department of Justice,"

Hopefully Arlen "all bark no bite" Spector is right in his prediction that Gonzales will resign rather than face a legacy of being the only Atty General to have a no confidence vote in the history of the USA, but I won't hold my breath.
"America needs an Attorney General who acts in an impartial, judicious and nonpartisan fashion, and who places the interests of justice above all else. Regrettably, I do not feel Mr. Gonzales fits the bill," said Rep. Schiff in a statement. "The Department is broken, and it is clear to me that he is not the one to fix it."
Congressman Davis added, "The termination of United States attorneys for crassly political motives is the latest and most acute example of a pattern of unacceptable leadership. A Congressional vote of no confidence would send an unmistakable signal that a change is vital at the Department of Justice."
In this maddening time of stonewalling and destruction of evidence it's about time we took control back of our Government. We cannot afford to let things drag on at the same rate they have been going. The longer we allow things to be drug out the more damage is being done on a daily basis. We must make sure that not only our fellow Democratic leader vote for the resolution, we need to bombard the faxs and phones of the Republicans also. If you live in a Red district fire up your contacts and let them know how you feel.
But in an interview with RAW STORY last week, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), who is helping lead the investigation, called the lack of criticism from House Republicans wrongheaded.
"If it's not troubling to my Republican counterparts here, I think there's something seriously wrong with the way they're looking at this whole issue," she said.
There are more actions you can take to move this issue along. There is a petition to sign that can be found at http://impeachgonzales.org/ It's time to get busy !!!
