WHY YOU SHOULD LOBBY CONGRESS
Citizens may feel it is a waste of time to contact elected leaders, because their minds are made up already. But on most issues, legislators try hard to determine the desires and leanings of their constituency before they vote. Politicians worry about being re-elected, and know that the happier their constituency, the more likely their own re-election.

A few days ago New York Times reporter David Kirkpatrick released an intense and, in his
mind, exhaustive account of what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. His story
seems to vindicate both the White House and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who is never
actually mentioned in the piece). Kirkpatrick’s months of investigating concludes that there is
some kind of murky middle ground between al-Qaeda organized attack and spontaneous
protest. He also continues to attribute the rationale of the attack to a short YouTube video that
insults Islam and its founder, Mohammed.

Sadly for the New York Times, as soon as the story was released nearly everyone as attacking
its veracity. From the people on the ground who lived through that horrible night, to the
Congressmen most closely associated with all of the events that transpired that night –
Republican and Democrat both. It seems that the New York Times piece does not pass the
smell test, and in the words of Republican Congressman and House Intelligence Chairman
Mike Rogers, “the article was intended to ‘clear the decks’ for Hillary in 2016.”

PERINO: Congressman, what do you think the New York Times got wrong?
GOWDY: Well, first of all I want to congratulate the NYT. It only took 15 months for them to
figure out how to spell
Benghazi, so maybe in another 15 months their report will actually catch up with the truth.

I’ll tell you two things they got wrong. No. 1, the video was translated into Arabic in early
September 2012. What in the world explains the violence in Benghazi prior to the video
being translated and released? Our consulate was attacked way before the video was
released. The British Ambassador was almost assassinated before the video was released.
The International Red Cross was attacked twice in Benghazi.
