WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT A LAW DEFYING, POWER GRABBING
VICE PRESIDENT
OUT OF CONTROL?
The descriptions are not ours. In the face of new
revelations of the
wholesale dismissal of the Constitution by the Vice
President Cheney,
"Power Grab" was the headline on the ABC New site.
"Defiant" was the
headline of the Washington Post. By now you could not
have escaped
hearing all the stories of the assertion by the vice
president's
office that he is a branch of government unto himself,
and not
beholden to any other. And if you have not read the
stories, they are
all linked in the "Arguments" section of this action
page, where you
can also cast your vote on whether Cheney should be
impeached
immediately.
NATIONAL CHENEY IMPEACHMENT POLL:
http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php And if the situation were not extreme enough, it was
also reported
this week that Cheney is aggressively campaigning for
Bush to pardon
Scooter Libby, which is an act of obstruction of
justice on its face,
according to John Dean, who should know a little
something about
impeachment. Whether or not Bush has the
Constitutional power to
grant pardons without cause, it is still an abuse
power for him to do
so, and a Constitutional high CRIME for Cheney to
campaign for him to
do so.
So now . . . NOW will you vote in the National Cheney
Impeachment
Poll, just as more than 72,000 of your fellow
democracy-loving
citizens already have? Would you be surprised to learn
that 99.22
percent of those votes were Yes to impeach? Speaking
on the Keith
Olberman show tonight, Dana Milbank described the Vice
President as a
man "showing no restraint", and still . . . STILL
Milbank could not
bring himself to say the word "impeachment". Does he
have a speech
impediment? Do WE the people have a speech impediment?
DO YOU THINK CHENEY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED OR NOT?
Now is the time to speak out. Maybe you think that the
Vice President
is doing a great job and that Scooter Libby deserves a
medal of
freedom for outing Valerie Plame, thereby trashing our
best source of
REAL intelligence on WMDs in the Middle East. If so,
then vote No,
please vote No and take responsibility, and tell us
you like having
our Constitution ripped into little shreds.
By if you are as stunned as everyone else in the
country about the
increasingly brutal way that Cheney is abusing the
power he has
already grabbed, from the time he appointed HIMSELF as
Bush's running
mate, then please vote Yes to impeach. If you are as
outraged as
everyone else about a rogue executive operating as an
imperial outlaw
unto himself, please vote Yes to impeach.
NATIONAL CHENEY IMPEACHMENT POLL:
http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php It's OK in the personal message you send to Congress
from the action
page above to include a laundry list of all the other
executive
branch rogues who you think should be impeached at the
same time,
including Bush himself. But the Cheney situation is
already long past
the tipping point. His impeachment will lead DIRECTLY
to the exposure
of all the others and their removal as well.
Congress will NOT defy the voices of millions of us
speaking out.
That's what it will take. We have over 72,000 votes
already, and we
have only just begun to scratch the surface of the
anger about what
Cheney and his gang have done to our great country,
sucking us into a
ruinous, wrong-headed war on phony evidence they
cooked themselves,
criminal illegal wiretaps, torture as official U.S.
policy, while
they sell out our economy to foreign oil interests and
crony war
profiteers.
Our democracy can be saved, but ONLY if you speak out
now.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories
that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else
you know.
