What our legislature is charged with is a legal responsibility to hold the executive branch in check if it should break the rules of law, no matter the cause or the reason. It is one of the greatest responsibilities of that legislative body, and not something that should be toyed with or abused. It is my contention, outside of all contingencies, that President Bush and all those who have aided him in his war on Iraq, truth, and our Constitution should be held accountable for their various and many crimes against America; not to mention laws violated or ignored abroad. The list of crimes is extensive. The list of crimes is tangible. They can be proven and prosecuted in a court of law. No other citizen of this land would be able to spill the blood of so many based on lies without having to answer to those dead. We call that murder in America. No other citizen of this land would be allowed to hold a person without cause, against their will, and then torture that person without prosecution. We call that kidnapping and assault. So why can our President do it? No other citizen can spy on another citizen. We call it stalking. Not even a legitimate police agency can do it without a warrant. So why has our President done it without challenge? The evidence of his "high crimes & misdemeanors" exists and it is hidden in plain sight. So what is the issue? Why the hesitation? Silence is definitely seen as approval by this administration, and a weapon to be seized upon for future use and manipulation. As I have said, I care little for discussions of strategy. This is about who we are as a nation. This is about America first. Our founding documents demand that action be taken. The Bush legacy demands that action be taken. The possibility of future leaders claiming executive precedence demands that actions be taken. This not an issue of political cat and mouse, this is about the rules of law in America, and a President that has little care for them. This is about an administration that has seized powers that were never intended for them. This is about a President that can open a citizens mail without provocation. This is about a President that suspended the founding wisdom of Habeas Corpus. This is about America on a slippery slope, sliding each day closer to the predictions of Orwell and beyond! This is about preventing America from devolving into a police state, a fascist state, or worse! This is about my pride as an American, and yours too! My patriotic and American soul demands justice for America! Justice against our laws. Justice for our laws! Justice for the dead...And not just in Iraq, but every dead man and woman who gave their life to protect America from those who would harm her. If this Presidency is left unchecked, then those countless Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice to their country...Did it for nothing. Inaction is unacceptable, as it is the ultimate insult to the memory or our dead, the relevance of our laws, and the Constitution of the United States of America. And what really burns me is that this process, this right of impeachment was so casually invoked for a President who got blown in the White House, and is so painfully avoided for a President who thinks he is King of the White House! A man with such contempt for the office of the President as to be unrecognizable as the President when stood up nose to nose against each and every predecessor. "I did not have sex with that woman" was an impeachable lie, but "WMD's in Iraq" is not an impeachable lie? How on earth is that possible?! America, the House, and the Senate need to get their heads on straight and do what must be done to preserve this nation from destruction from within, and the only protection from that threat is the removal of President George W. Bush from office, the reversion of every signing statement, and the return of respect for the rules of law at the executive branch of our government. That's why I want it done. Not for any trumped up reason, but because his ego has swollen and made him a criminal in the eyes of the law. And in America, we prosecute anyone and everyone that breaks the law...Equally! That is who we are as a land of laws, and if we turn a blind eye to this administration because of timing, or fears of power shifts, seats or the like, then we have become something else...Something less than America. That outcome is unacceptable to me, and I bet it's unacceptable to you too?!
