Contact Obama's Office Regarding Impeachment Statements

Important Impeachment Action
This is a very important action. Call Obama’s office and ask if the Senator does not believe that Bush and Cheney’s actions are not “grave” breaches of presidential authority, does this mean that the Senator would use signing statements and violate FISA when he is President?

Obama Against Impeachment Of Bush, Cheney Despite Shortcomings
6/29/2007 1:21:18 AM Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Thursday that despite a string of political shortcomings he sees in the Bush administration, he was opposed to impeachment of either President George Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney.

Obama said impeachment should be reserved for "grave" breaches of the president's authority, although he has been distressed by the "loose ethical standards, the secrecy and incompetence" of a "variety of characters" in the administration.

"There's a way to bring an end to those practices, you know: vote the bums out," the presidential candidate said, without naming Bush or Cheney. "That's how our system is designed."
