Here's a letter i just sent to my Representative in support the Kucinich bill to impeach VP Cheney. They CAN'T continue to ignore the will of the people!!
Dear Representative Tom Allen,
I want to STRONGLY encourage you to stand up for the Constitution and support the impeachment of Vice President Cheney (HR 333). I am among the majority of my friends and colleagues that are outraged by his actions: lying us into an illegal and ideological war using obviously cooked and spun intelligence; the actions of torture of innocents and illegal wiretapping of US citizens; and his relentless spitting on the Constitution. We are equally outraged that nothing has been done to hold Bush and Cheney accountable for their illegal acts that have killed 4000 Americans and millions of Iraqis, violated our civil rights, and ruined our standing in the world. Now they want to distract us again by saber-rattling and threatening to bomb IRAN... (Conveniently raising oil prices to the benefit of their oil and defense industry constituents). They will not stop their run on power unless they are checked NOW. We can't wait for the 2008 election as this could be too late for actions against Iran, and would set a dangerous precedent for future president to act in an imperial manner. It is your constitutional duty to impeach when high crimes and misdemeanors are perpetrated by this Executive Branch. Their actions are FAR WORSE than Watergate, and to do nothing says you accept their illegal acts, and their rhetorical endless "war on terror" to justify any imperial action by this or future Presidents.
I'm tired of fear and spin being used as a weapon to defeat reason and intelligent action. I'm tired of chaos being sowed to push their radical conservative agenda. I'm angry at the democratically controlled congress for sitting on their hands while my country is morally ruined and fiscally bankrupted. Cheney and Bush's actions are not protecting us, but actually harming our safety and the interests of the American people. They do not stand for the principles that founded this nation or the rule of law. This is not the country the founders struggled so hard to create in opposition to the lessons of imperial England. We need action now to restore and preserve the Constitution. As my representative in Congress, I urge you to support this effort on my behalf.
If you choose not to support this effort, I expect a detailed and reasoned response and an accounting of the number of letters and emails you received either supporting or not supporting impeachment from those you represent.
Sincerely,
Bradford White
