Say no to a Cheney clemency Christmas

I grow weary of sounding the same alarm over and over again; however the risk to the future of our nation if the actors in this ugly drama are not held to some level of accountability is too great to allow silence in this nearly eleventh hour. Simply, allowing them to get away with their crimes will leave stand a precedent that members of any future administration can cite as justification for their own overreaching power grabs and insistences that they are above the law. The danger of a runaway executive branch was supposed to have been ended with President Nixon and Watergate, then it resurfaced with Iran-Contra and now we are seeing the death throes of an entire administration that has been nothing but one seemingly endless exploitation of the office for personal gain at the expense of the American people and of America's good name. We cannot allow these people to trample the Constitution, the Geneva Convention, the American electoral process, the human and civil rights of thousands and then gleefully walk away with our money in their pockets and their victims' blood on our hands. We cannot allow this. They must be held accountable. They must be investigated. They must not be pardoned. Make your voice heard.
