| From a CFL press release, exactly as received:
"The Connecticut for Lieberman Party Censures Senator Lieberman" The executive officers of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party announced today that its glorious namesake Senator Joseph Lieberman has been acclaimed censured by the party for upholding its ideals . Chair John Orman, Vice-Chair Jonathan Kantrowitz and Secretary Sue Henshaw voted unanimously to acclaim
censure Lieberman for his actions. The party leaders said,
Whereas Senator Lieberman promised during the fall election that he supported efforts to bring the troops home and that no one in Connecticut wanted to bring home the troops more than Senator Lieberman, but then changed his position to supporting a troop surge after winning the election;
Whereas Senator Lieberman promised the Secretary of State that he would form a new third party called Connecticut for Lieberman so he could run after losing the Democratic nomination in 2006, and then he did not form such a party and he has no intention of forming such a party;
Whereas Senator Lieberman promised to provide oversight hearings during the election about President Bush's lack of response to Hurricane Katrina , and then failed to do so after winning the election;
Whereas Senator Lieberman has failed to account for the $387,000 miscellaneous expenditure during the last election;
Whereas Senator Lieberman continues to vote against the extraordinary majority of Connecticut citizens who want to get out of the war in Iraq;
Be it resolved that the Executive Committee of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party does hereby acclaimcensure Senator Joseph Lieberman for his actions. The motion passed 3-0 and Senator Lieberman was acclaimed.
Chairman Orman declared that if Senator Lieberman continues to embody the party's ideals in such a spectacular manner there is no question but that he will be the Connecticut for Lieberman Party's candidate for President in 2008 censured. |
