UPDATE: Cheney's Constitutional Crisis (Sen. Kennedy)

[helderheid]

Good work! Thanks to pressure from our online community and many others, we've learned that the Vice President's office "will not pursue the argument that he is separate from the executive branch."

Together we've stopped Dick Cheney from rewriting the Constitution to suit his own agenda. But it's essential that we continue to demand accountability from the Bush Administration for the way it's been handling our most important national challenges.

George Bush and Dick Cheney won't be in office after next year's election -- and it's our job to make sure they're not the only Republicans to leave. Only Democrats can provide the leadership to end the war in Iraq and meet the host of other major challenges facing America.

Contribute today! Support our efforts to hold the White House accountable, to expand the Democratic majority in the Senate and House in next year's election, and to restore the power of our democracy to its rightful owners, Americans like you.

Two years ago, Vice President Cheney boasted that Iraq "will be an enormous success story." He claimed the insurgency was in its "last throes" and Republicans in Congress agreed. Since then the situation in Iraq has continued to deteriorate. Yet the White House refuses to change course while our soldiers continue to suffer and die.

Like most Americans, I'm committed to bringing this misguided war to an end as soon as possible. I'm also committed to correcting the larger problem that got us here in the first place -- the Republican rubber-stamp Congress that refused to recognize reality.

The remedy is clear. We need to elect a filibuster-proof majority of Democrats in Congress in 2008 that will start solving our problems instead of making them worse. The stakes have never been higher for a Democratic majority in Washington, but with your help, we'll prevail.

Support the Committee for a Democratic Majority today:

Dick Cheney may be withholding top secret documents, but he's not the only Republican in Washington blocking progress.

On Tuesday, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on the Employee Free Choice Act -- legislation that I and other Democrats proposed to make it easier for workers to fight for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

Republicans also blocked legislation to implement the 9/11 Commission's recommendations to make our country safer. They blocked long-overdue lobbying reforms to crack down on the culture of corruption in Washington.

And that's just this week.

We know a Democratic majority across the country wants progress on issues the American people care about, especially ending the war in Iraq, making health care a basic right, ensuring every child has a good education, and treating working families with fairness and respect.

George Bush and Dick Cheney will be the first Republicans to leave power next year. Make a contribution to the Committee for a Democratic Majority now, and help us make sure that many other Republicans will follow him out the door.
