Subject: Broken Gov't: We know what we must do
We can solve nothing under "rule by signing statement."
Our common contract, the Constitution, is in breach. It has been nullified by Bush and Cheney, the Un-American authoritarians who have occupied the executive branch and are destroying the fabric of our nation to amass Unconstitutional power and wield it in the service of their tiny faction.
Members of Congress are sworn to protect the Constitution from such destruction from within. Impeachment is the weapon we gave them to fulfill their oath.
The oath is an individual oath. Each member who fails to take up the fight for impeachment (even if they think it will be a charge of the light brigade) is betraying their oath. They are betraying the nation.
The enormous and growing alarm and outrage within the citizenry has been given no voice. Until the men and women we elected to SERVE as Our Voice speak the truth, accuse Bush and Cheney of their crimes, and take up the fight for impeachment and removal, the outraged within the electorate will seethe in frustration and silence believing they are alone in a world gone mad.
Our government is not some alien thing -- it is ours. We can repair it. We know what the first step is. Impeachment Is Our Positive Agenda.
