An Open Letter about Impeachment to Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA)

(Representing the district in Washington State I grew up in)



Representative Inslee,

It has been with great pride that I have read of my original home state’s leadership in the growing movement across the nation to hold the Bush Administration accountable for their plethora of crimes and misdemeanors through the process of impeachment.

As one of three states - Vermont and New Mexico being the others - that have impeachment resolutions broiling in their capitals, Washington State‘s citizens are doing their patriotic duty to insist that their public officials honor their oaths of office to defend our nation against the domestic enemies to the Constitution of the United States of America currently residing in the White House.

As a native Bainbridge Islander, where you now reside, I am appalled by your stance against the impeachment resolution proffered by State Sen. Eric Oemig (D-WA) as being “a waste of time”.

Your political partner in this obstruction of justice mission at the behest of the national Democratic Party leadership, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) revealed her shallow knowledge of the impeachment bill, Senate Joint Memorial 8016 itself when she offered two words in opposition to it: “Dick Cheney”. Oemig’s bill calls for impeachment investigations to commence against both President Bush AND the Vice President.

Vice President Cheney, who has indicated he may ignore subpoenas, will be triple indicted for every ‘W’ crime revealed and could easily be convicted through ‘open source’ evidence discovered by a googling Bainbridge High School ‘C’ student.

As sympathetic as I am to Democrats wishing to move forward with their positive agenda, choosing to ignore the past six years would be as naive as a victim of domestic assault not wanting to press charges. The result will eventually be more of the same. You are just going to get beaten again, and probably much more viciously. It is not a matter of “if”, but “when” - maybe next time to death.

1. I really like Patty Murray
and I was really disappointed she came out against the impeachment resolution here.

Thank you for that link. Excellent letter, excellent.

"We are a Nation of laws. No one is above the law."

I'll keep shouting that too.

2. I like her, too; maybe she'll read this and reconsider. We can hope. nt
