RE: John Bolton nomination

Thanks to wavering Republicans, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote to confirm John Bolton as UN ambassador has been delayed until May 12. Liberals are taking advantage of the delay to smear Bolton, who’s a bit too pro-America to suit them. If they succeed in convincing Republicans on the Foreign Relations Committee to vote against him, they will derail his nomination. You can read more about this fight in an editorial from the Townhall.com editors.

It's time for action. Here's how.

1. Phone and write to Senator George Voinovich's office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. Senator Voinovich is the primary reason we're in the position we're in right now but it’s extremely important that your communications remain polite and stick to the facts. His Capitol Hill Senate office phone number is 202-224-3353 and more contact information for his different offices is here. Those of you who live in Ohio should contact his district office closest to where you live.

2. Contact Senator Lincoln Chafee’s office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. His Capitol office phone number is 202-224-2921 (fax: 202-228-2853). Those of you in Rhode Island should also call his district offices in the state. Contact information is here.

3. Contact Senator Chuck Hagel's office and tell them you support the John Bolton nomination. His Capitol office phone number is 202-224-4224 (fax: 202-224-5213). Those of you in Nebraska should also call his district offices in the state. Contact information is here.

4. Write a letter to the editor of the Washington Post (1150 15th St NW Washington, DC 20071-0070) and Washington Times (3600 New York ve NE Washington, DC 20002). Make sure to indicate from which state you’re from. They'd love to hear from citizens outside the beltway.

5. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Visit the Townhall media contact page, enter your zip code, find your local paper and find the "letters to the editor" link. Do you want your Senator to see your letter? Mention him/her by name.

6. Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks to help keep Washington DC accountable.
