Badly worded but I believe great idea to send Pelosi on impeachment.
Edited on Sun May-20-07 12:53 AM by Maraya1969
I need help with it. It has occurred to me that it is a crime to witness a crime and not stop it. This is the letter I am trying to write to Senator Pelosi. If anyone can help with it I would be grateful. It is late, my brain is tired but damn it this is when I get my best ideas. :shrug:

So I copied the letter even though the grammar sucks and I hope someone can give me more information about what law I am trying to refer to.

(I included the list of states and other entities that have passed impeachment resolutions.)

Comments: Dear Senator Pelosi:

George Bush has committed many criminal activities against the American people and the world. And it is criminal to not stop him. I believe it is the same crime the high level persons in the Catholic church committed when they did not remove priests who they knew were molesting boys. "Failure to Act" or "Aiding and abetting" I am not a lawyer but I know this is against the law.

The American people are suffering and you are letting it happen. This must come to an end now.

Thirteen state Democratic parties have now passed resolutions demanding impeachment, nine of them since Nancy Pelosi ordered the Democratic Party away from impeachment. * Cities and towns that have backed impeachment by resolution, public vote, or both: 79. * Largest cities: Detroit, home of the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and San Francisco, home of the Speaker of the House. * Earliest and most frequent city: Santa Cruz beginning in 2003. * States where impeachment has been introduced into the legislature at least once: 10 (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont). * State legislative bodies that have voted on impeachment: 3 (Vermont Senate, Vermont House, New Mexico Senate). * State legislative bodies that have passed impeachment resolutions: 1 (Vermont Senate). * National political parties backing impeachment: 1 (Green). * Non-Democratic state political parties backing impeachment: 2 (Vermont Progressives, California Greens). * Democrats Abroad Chapters backing impeachment: 1. * Local political party organizations that have backed impeachment: 32. * Labor unions backing impeachment: 1.

1. I think the term you're looking for is "accessory"
If you fail to report a crime even if you only find out about it afterward, you are technically an "accessory after the fact."

2. OK so is our congress guilty of this is they do not begin a process of stopping him through
impeachment?

Also can a citizen sue congress or maybe Senator Pelosi for refusing to impeach?

6. You say it very well.
I think your language is perfect. You present a solid argument from your heart. You write very persuasively.

Write it and send it in a sincere spirit. It's great just as it is.
