Impeachment not off the table

But when, we might ask, would it be too late to prosecute, say, a murder charge? And how can political expediency override the absolutely primary responsibility of the Congress of preserving the Constitution and the rule of law? As I asked Pelosi in a letter in response to her "off the table" position, given the startling number and severity of the accusations (especially compared with those levied against Bill Clinton or even Richard Nixon), "what, then, would it take?"

Finally, we must remember that a majority of Americans did vote to elect Bush in 2004 even after all the revelations of torture, fraudulent war-related claims, illegal incarcerations and gross incompetence had come to light. Thus, all this has been done in our names, has been at least partly paid for with our taxes and we are, therefore, complicit, unless we act now to demand of our national elected officials that they perform their primary duty to uphold the Constitution and initiate impeachment proceedings against Bush and Dick Cheney.

I urge you to contact all the members of the House Judiciary Committee to do just that. You can Google a list of the committee members' phone numbers and e-mail addresses and call or mail them, urging them to sign on to Kucinich's impeachment resolution. If sufficient numbers of U.S. citizens do this, they will act. For further information and suggestions, e-mail [e-mail] or call 895-4026 and leave a message for Cindy Piester, chairwoman, Ventura Citizens for Impeachment.

interviewed.

"Now when I look at the Americans, I am not thinking they are human. I saw them, I know them better, I will never respect them. Americans, they are the enemies of Islam and they are enemies of any Muslim."

And think of all those held in Iraq (or killed or injured) and how their perceptions have changed.

This is about more than accountability, this is about our security and the security of future generations.

It's nice to hear we have other problems and need to move forward, do we ever think where those 5 million displaced Iraqi's are moving and the feelings of all the family and friends of those killed.
