ImpeachBush.org

www.impeachbush.org

I don't agree with everything on this site regarding impeachable offences. But they've got the key bits right -- here's a copy of the text of the letter I sent to my local US representative:

It's time for George W. Bush and his administration to answer and be accountable for his actions.

The Bush administration lied to the people and Congress about the justifications for going to war in Iraq.


It has now been revealed that Bush, like Nixon three decades ago, has carried out an illegal wiretapping program against the people of this country.

It is clear now that he has no regard for the Constitution and the laws of this land unless they suit him at the time: The process exists where he could have worked to change laws that he felt were hampering his efforts. But he blatently disregarded process and broke the law.

These are serious offenses which constitute High Crimes and Misdemeanors. I urge you to support impeachment immediately, in order to save our constitutional democracy and our good name in the council of nations.

The green text comes from an impeachbush.org template, and the blue text is my customization. The web site made it easy to compose the letter, and it automatically inserted my local congressman's name and address.

The pressure must continue, and this must remain in the spotlight. As stated before, in different ways, these times are presenting one of the toughest tests for our experimental democracy. Enough of us must wake up an stay awake long enough to make a difference!!
