CODEPINK Denounces Bolton


Press Release: December 5, 2006:  "As John Bolton Resigns, Four Peace Women on Trial for Delivering Anti-War Petition to US Mission to the UN." 

May 13, 2004 - Latest News from Washington DC:

Senate Foreign Relations Committee votes Bolton out without recommendation. "Sheroe" Senator Barbara Boxer has put a "hold" on allowing the Bolton nomination to go to the Senate floor. Call or email your Senator to urge them to vote NO on Bolton's nomination. Don't forget that the "Blair memo" is the most recent evidence that the Bush Administration "cooked" intelligence information to justify the illegal war in Iraq. The nomination hearing clearly showed that John Bolton was key in "fixing" intelligence for the administration.

"Love the Code Pink women--all that bravery and they don't even have balls!"
