Allen West Joins the Fight for Benghazi Committee

 

Dear Member:

 

I am very pleased to tell you that former U.S. Congressman Allen West has joined the fight for a House Select Committee on Benghazi!

 

Revive America was one of the few groups who got behind Allen West in the ballot recount after the Democrats robbed him of his congressional seat on Election Day.

 

We were proud to stand with him then, and now heartily welcome him to the fight!

 

Allen West’s letter of endorsement to Rep. Frank Wolf follows.  It speaks for itself.

 

Remember Benghazi!

The Honorable Frank Wolf 233 Cannon Building Washington, DC 20515

Dear Congressman Wolf,

I write to share my support for H. Res. 36, which would create a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi. With 135 Republican cosponsors, the bill now has a “majority of the majority” and it’s time for House leadership to advance it. The threshold for the Select Committee has been crossed, and it’s time for a vote.

As a former Member of Congress who also served in uniform, I know how important it is that we learn the truth about why military support was never sent to the Americans under fire at the U.S. annex in Benghazi last September. Over the last month, more than 700 former Special Operations members signed letters endorsing the Select Committee. We owe it to the families of the four victims and the survivors -- some of whom sustained serious injuries and were still at Walter Reed hospital months after the attack -- to fully investigate this terrorist attack and the Obama Administration’s questionable response in the days and weeks that followed.

Although the “interim progress report” released by the House committees last week was a positive step, it did not answer many of the questions that should have been answered after 8 months of investigation. In fact, the report raised even more questions that merit further investigation. As an Army officer, I learned the integral principles of war, unity of effort and unity of command. Having a singular select committee on the Benghazi issue requires adherence to those two fundamentals.

I urge the remaining Republicans who have not yet cosponsored to sign on to H. Res 36 when the House returns next week. After 8 months, it’s time for a Select Committee to ensure the families of the victims and the American people get the answers they deserve.

Steadfast and Loyal,

Allen B. West
