This is my initial diary entry. I think the entry itself will serve as an ample introduction..............................................................

Whereas every member of the House of Representatives has sworn a oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...", and
Whereas President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney have repeatedly and brazenly violated the laws set forth the Constitution and have asserted to themselves authority far beyond that given to them by the Constitution, and
Whereas the future of the United States of America as a Republic and the government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is in fatal danger if the President and Vice-President are not held accountable for their high crimes against the Constitution, and
Whereas the aforementioned oath contains no exclusions for political expediency nor does it release members from their obligation should it be commonly thought that they would not be successful in their efforts,
We the undersigned and those who respond Yes to the poll below, hereby solemnly affirm that we will not contribute to, support or vote for any member of Congress who has violated his or her oath of office by failing to support a resolution calling for initiation of the impeachment process against both the President and Vice-President.
