My lame reply from my Colorado Senator. [View All]

[JAYJDF]

Here I was trying to explain how by not impeaching busch reinforces the double standard of rich vs poor when it comes to crimes.

Thank you for contacting me to express your concern about the current state of affairs in our government. Like you, I disagree with many of the policies of the Bush Administration. I understand your frustration and appreciate your taking time to express your concerns directly to me.

As you may know, impeachment proceedings against the President can only be initiated by the House of Representatives, not the Senate. House Speaker Pelosi has said that she does not plan on initiating impeachment proceedings at this time. Rather than use up the country's time on impeachment proceedings -- as many of my colleagues unwisely chose to do in 1998 -- I would prefer that the Congress get back to working on issues that affect families across Colorado and America.

Thanks again for writing.

Sincerely,

Ken Salazar
United States Senator
