Tell Congress To Remove Gonzales By Constitutional Force If Necessary!
TELL CONGRESS TO REMOVE GONZALES BY CONSTITUTIONAL FORCE IF NECESSARY

You can call toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask for your own
House member and Senators.

For an administration in which utter smirking defiance of law and the will of the American
people is the only operational mode, IMPEACHMENT is the only remedy.

How bad can it possibly get before Congress will act? In explosive testimony this week
before the Senate, the former number two official in the Justice apartment, James B.
Comey, testified that Alberto Gonzales tried to bully a deathly sick John D. Ashcroft into
signing off on a secret and massive domestic wiretap scheme which had already been
determined to be profoundly illegal. Even the Washington Post was compelled to
editorialize on Wednesday as follows:

"the straight-as-an-arrow former No. 2 official at the Justice Department, yesterday
offered the Senate Judiciary Committee an account of Bush administration lawlessness so
shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source."

And if that were not bad enough, Gonzales had previously testified UNDER OATH, that there
had been no disagreements in the department about implementation of the program. So he
just bald-faced lied and perjured himself again, and again, and again. And he's still
doing it.

The situation is so bad that 56 members of Alberto's Harvard Law school graduating class
took out an ad also in the Post excoriating him for his outlaw abuse of power. The
Harvard Crimson further reports that there was NO dissent whatsoever in this from members
of that class, even among those who for professional reasons could not sign on publicly.

So what is the response of Congress? Some Democrats today proposed a no confidence vote.
What exactly is that supposed to accomplish? How many times have you heard Bush say,
"Well, he has my confidence", in the face of dramatically manifest incompetence
and malfeasance by his appointed cronies? When is Congress going to confront the fact
that we are dealing with a Constitutionally criminal organization in the White House from
top to bottom?

When will Congress stop being a damn debating society and exercise the POWER we gave them
in November.? What part of exercising power don't they get?

Look at the side show going on right now about another Bush gang member, Wolfowitz, who
has long outstayed his welcome the World Bank, and still will not give up power until they
pry it out of his fingers. It was actually reported yesterday that Wolfowitz was
demanding that the bank accept culpability for some part of his wrongdoing as a condition
of stepping down. Isn't that just a little like a bank robber demanding that a bank share
guilt for making itself too easy to rob?

We'll frankly be surprised if Bush doesn't demand for Gonzales a seat on the Supreme Court
as part of his severance package.

What'cha gonna do, Congress? You better start dusting of that impeachment clause in the
Constitution quick, fast and in a hurry. We're really gonna need it.

If the millstone were around the other neck, every right wing cable news pod person would
be screaming for impeachment, not only for Gonzales, but for the whole lying, stealing,
preemptive war murdering lot of them. Falwell would be howling from his casket right now.
Maybe it's time for us do a lot more howling of our own.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and
forward this message to everyone else you know.
