Action pnum432 Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Oppose Bolton Nomination For U.N. Ambassador ********** [175824:072806] R.B., Stafford, VA I'm totally opposed to the appointment of Bolton as U.N.Ambassador. He's not only unqualified for the position but also unsuited in his ideals, lacks insite and has proven his interests aren't in the best interest of the United States. ********** [174953:072806] W.E., Front Royal, VA This is to express my profound dismay at the prospect of John Bolton, the most unqualified appointee of the Bush Administration, being up for confirmation as United Nations Ambassador. When he was refused confirmation the first time, President Bush took the highly unusual step of making a temporary Senior Level appointment while Congress was in recess. Now he says "We cannot change the Ambassador at the UN in the midst of this International Emergency," an absurd statement if I've ever heard one. Since the under-handed recess appointment to the UN, Bolton has alienated our allies, stripped every opportunity for diplomacy in favor of confrontation and even fought with our own State Department, undermining the already weak Secretary of State. John Bolton is a dangerous US Diplomat who doesn't believe in diplomacy ane one whom America cannot afford as UN Ambassador. Please oppose the Bolton nomination for UN Ambassador. ********** [174923:072806] E.K., Portland, OR Let's stop this right-wing nationalist madness now before it's too late. ********** [174149:072806] W.F., Richmond, TX Please be careful. This is the wrong guy! We would be a lot safer if he was doing something else. ********** [174139:072806] M.B., Phoenix, AZ I see John Bolton as someone very capable of "forcing" things to happen -- but what ever happened to leading with "respect, real dialogue (including true listening!), and open-mindedness? His "one-way-or-the-highway" approach, of course, fits perfectly with current top leadership style... ********** [173747:072806] M.B., Hereford, AZ John Boulton is a disaster and deserves to be fired as U.N. Ambassador. ********** [173746:072806] W.S., Woodinville, WA We need a fair minded and well respected ambassador to the UN and Bolton isn't the person. Our Country is currently seen as a global aggressor, politcally driven by right wing extremists. If we want to have global partners we need moderate ambassadors not right wing hatchets. ********** [173706:072806] B.R., Laredo, TX The United Nations and the devastating state of our world are too important to not have the United States represented by a human being, who has what John Bolton does not have: integrity, dignity, humanity and diplomatic skills. ********** [173451:072806] J.T., Tampa, FL John Bolton's nomination in the first place was a disgrace. He is the wrong person for this job. Get someone who is qualified for this very important position; it DEFINITELY is not Bolton. Thank you for listening. ********** [173134:072806] M.P., Shingle Springs, CA Mr. Bolton was not the proper person for this job prior to the recess appointment. He's only confirmed this during his term as an appointee. With America's reputation in tatters, thanks to this gang in Washington, we cannot afford to confirm the antithesis of diplomacy to represent us! ********** [173059:072806] D.G., Boulder, CO This foster child of diplomacy does not belong to any government body, let alone UN. ********** [172932:072806] G.S., Irvine, CA We cannot afford to have someone like Bolton in such a sensitive and important job at any time, much less this moment. When are the Democrats going to stand up and call Bush on his underhanded administration of our country??? ********** [172648:072806] V.C., Salt Lake City, UT A bull in the United Nations china shop is just what the United States needs to regain world respect for the United States after the Bush Administrations' disastrous five-and-one-half year reign. ********** [172315:072806] l.m., Los Angeles, CA Things are so absurd. to think that we could make a difference but are too apathetic to stand up for true democracy and true justice makes me ashamed to be an American. optimism and hope are serious aspects of our constitution, to shun these aspects is self destructive. ********** [172029:072806] S.L., Snowflake, AZ That man is a distraction to peace, and the cooperation of the United Nations. He's combative, rude, and an unfit example of an Ambassador from our Nation. ********** [150523:092706] T.R., Tampa, FL Please oppose John Bolton's confirmation. He is not the type of person that should represent our superpower. We need to be a leader by committing actions that other countries would be proud to follow, not a leader by examples of what NOT to do. We need to regain our international respect, of which we are losing faster than ever before because of our President and his appointed arrogant cronies. ********** [121928:092706] D.S., Spokane, WA It's critical at this time in world history we have an Ambassador that is willing to work towards peace in the world, not confrontation at every turn. President Bush has another addition to his long list of enept appointments. ********** [015156:092706] M.A., San Antonio, TX This man John Bolton is another unqualified "Statesman". Please take him away now, and replace him with someone we can all be proud of. Margaret L. Albert ********** [211342:092606] M.L., Aptos, CA Reject Bolton, we need someone who is a true dipolmat within the United Nations, if there is such a person left in this country. ********** [112640:092406] D.D., Florence, OR The US needs a diplomat in this position, not a bufoon who will embarass us and destroy what little credibility we have left. ********** [174048:092306] d.l., Warren, MI Stop the confirmation of John Bolton as United Nations Ambassador! ********** [002318:092106] E.F., Far Rockaway, NY Oppose the nomination of John Bolton! He is not qulaified. He has shown he is not qualified ********** [214111:092006] E.G., La Mesa, CA It is time we clean up the reputation of our country w/ the rest of the gobal community. Please help to stop the nomination of John Bolton to the UN (once again!). He is bad for America. ********** [192613:092006] R.P., Sunnyvale, CA We must not let this man be the United Nations Ambassador now and in the future. This man is a (BULLY) AND HE WILL NOT HELP OUR COUNTRY.We must remove him now before he can do any more damage. ********** [174231:092006] D.Z., Bakersfield, CA Dear Representatives, John Bolton does not deserve confirmation to any post in the United Nations, as he does not represent the views of the majority of Americans. Please vote against this nomination. **********
