Will we stand for such an insult to all patriots living and dead?
This is what I have just faxed to my Congressional Representative.
______________________________________________
On the eve of Independence Day, the commemoration of our nation’s freedom from the tyranny of a power-mad ruler whose government gave no heed to the thoughts and desires of the citizenry, comes word that the President of the United States has delivered a stinging insult to that legacy and to the American people and their justice system. By commuting the prison sentence of Lewis “Scooter” Libby President Bush has all but admitted to the complicity of the Bush/Cheney administration in the criminal outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame and the obstruction of justice implicit in the ensuing cover-up. If we are to even pretend that this is still a nation ruled by its laws and not the whim and fiat of a cabal of corrupt elites we have no choice but to begin impeachment proceedings. I urge you to co-sponsor Rep. Dennis Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment, H.Res. 333 and to please add your public voice to the growing chorus calling for justice and accountability.
Please write your Representative. Demand accountability.
