This congress and the people in both parties have done nothing but make excuses for the neglect that they have perpetrated on the people, the republic and the institutions of this republic. Enough with the excuses. It is not a matter of there being too little time left in this administration, or there being bad media ramifications for the democrats, or there being a war on, or didn't we just do this with Clinton, or any of the other multitude of excuses that the congress has come up with for not doing its DUTY! I do not believe Thomas Jefferson could ever envision such a bunch of duty dropping, belly aching, jellyfish with such media fed, poll driven, individuals with inferiority complexes magically homogenized with delusions of grandeur as members of our elected officials. Or perhaps he did...
This congress has for the past six years has been on duty as this administration has done almost irreversible damage to our most sacred ideals and institutions. This administration has unlawfully come into our homes and lives through means both electronic and physical without oversight and due cause of law. This administration has shown both contempt of the laws of this land and the laws we hold most sacred in our constitution, bill of rights and declaration of independence. This administration has shown contempt for the institution of congress in it's action and deed when it obstructed the congress when members of this administration, by order of this administration, refused to appear before a legal hearing in this congress. This administration has shown contempt for our Institutions of law as it refuses to see itself subject to such laws. This administration has conducted war in the name of the people without the consent of the people and in contempt of the institutions of state and foreign affairs set up to assist this administration in fulfilling it's duties to the people. This administration has shown contempt for the institutions, laws, and people of this republic. For these reasons it is the duty of the congress to bring letters of impeachment against George Bush and his Vice President.
If it is inconvenient for this congress, or for either political party the framers of the constitution gave us "We the People " a remedy for that too. It is the duty and responsibility of the people a republic to be watchful. If our elected officials will not do the most basic of duties left to them, then it will be for us to do. The congress must stop obfuscating it's duties and do the work of this republic. No job that needs to be done is more important than the soundness of the republic. What is the only speech the president must make before both houses each year? The state of the union. And what is the first statement the president says each time? "The state of the Union is ..." I put to you the state of the union is dire. The speaker of the house has stated that "impeachment is off the table" The speaker is "dealing" away a RIGHT given to the or WE THE PEOPLE. How may Rights must we have dealt, ruled, written, "executive ly" ordered out (unlawfully as they are RIGHTS ) before WE THE PEOPLE state to carry copies of our sacred texts with us. These public officials swear on the bible (on it NOT TO IT) to be faithful to the constitution, not to follow the will of God nor to listen to the voice of God. Some will find this politically incorrect. But I say to you as a person of faith anyone who swears to uphold the constitution and then puts his party, person, and even his religion before the law has broken the commandment against taking the name of the Lord in vain. I say any who believe otherwise know neither the bible nor the constitution.
The congress must write the letters of impeachment. The trial must take place. The defense must be made to any charge. Cause has been shown and the PEOPLE deserve satisfaction. As to the outcome, votes will be counted. The proceedings will be public and the people will then have their chance to vote. Duty and Responsibility are the only reason needed. The constitution is the only tool needed. Courage and the will to answer the call of duty all that missing. Perhaps, wartime is the right time to remind these officials and the PEOPLE just what the blood is or has been shed for.
Our greatest threat is not from without. Remember it is only a republic as long as we can keep it.
