The hour for action is here. The foundation is in place, laid by the work of Progressives and Kossacks everywhere. We have a majority in both houses of Congress. People are starting to wake up and realize the truth about the Republican criminal enterprise. Two thirds of the people do not approve of Bushco. The latest Abu Gonzalez scandal puts the Repugs on the defensive. NOW, ROCK THE BOAT!
Instructions below the fold...
With lie after Repuglican lie revealed, and the MSM starting to report them, the time is ripe to start the avalanche of public opinion against the criminals. All it will take is one brave Senator or Congressperson to stand and say what most are already thinking--that Bush and Cheney should resign. I wrote this letter to my Senators, and thought it might serve as a model. Feel free to use it! Or write a better one.
Dear Senator:
I most sincerely encourage you as my representative in Washington to demand that George Bush and Dick Cheney resign. They are the most destructive force in America today.
I am amazed that no Democratic Senator has had the courage to demand that Bush and Cheney resign, because the reasons for it are so clear, the public support so great, and the time is so right for it to happen.
Senator, you have access to much more information than I do, and you must have witnessed from close range the series of decisions that this team has made. These are far-reaching, stupid, greedy, power-seeking, unconstitutional actions that have hurt all of us, and will continue to do so until Bush and Cheney are forced out of office. Our country cannot endure two more years of damage from them.
I know I don't have to list them for you, but I cannot resist naming some of the more egregious transgressions of these evil men.
They lied to the Congress and the American people to convince us to invade a sovereign nation that presented no credible threat to us. They conducted a poorly planned, poorly executed, illegal war that has nearly bankrupted our country and killed a half million people, most of them non-combatants, and many of them women and children. In conducting this war, they have increased terrorism many fold and made the world much less safe for Americans. They have sent our young men and women into grave danger for no good reason, resulting in the death of more of them than died on September 11 in New York. They admit they dropped pursuit of Osama Bin Laden, the greatest mass murderer in the history of our country--after repeatedly promising to get him.
They continue to illegally expand the powers of the President of the US, trampling on the US Constitution that they swore to uphold. Under the pretense of "Wartime Powers", they suspend our thousand-year-old right to habeus corpus. They admit that they continue to illegally spy on the American people. They violate international law through torture and kidnapping.
They are at the center of Treasonous acts such as revealing the identity of a secret agent in wartime for political gain. They reduce taxes for their rich friends while cutting support for government agencies that serve as a safety net for our poorest citizens. They give lucrative contracts to companies that steal from our government and from the American people. They are attempting to pack the courts with their cronies, and to place watchdog political commissars at federal agencies to make sure their political agendas come first before the good of the country.
The Democratic Party now has a majority in both houses of Congress and two thirds of the American people disagree with the way Bush and Cheney are running the country. You have massive support to stand up and ask George and Dick to resign. They have done an abysmal job and it is way past time for them to go.
Please demand their resignation. Of course they won't go without a struggle, but your asking them to go will start the momentum that can save our country. That is why I voted to send you to DC as my Senator. That is the oath of office that you took--to defend the Constitution against its enemies. Bush and Cheney are enemies of the Constitution and the people know it. Please keep your promise. The people support you.
I support you.
