From my Senator about Impeaching Bush...........
Ok, so I have been a Republican as long as I have been able to vote, but I find myself to question the current administration. I have come to the conclusion that our President, Vice President, and his administration, have broken so many laws, and even have betrayed and sold out our country. I find this to be punishable and they should be impeached. I sent an email to My Senator (Feisntein), who I happen to believe is half witted and I don't understand why people have power if they have no common sense. Anyways, here is the email I got back from her, I couldn't believe the answer I got back, such a stupid excuse. What do you guys think?...........
Dear _______:
Thank you for your letter concerning impeachment proceedings against President Bush. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
In our recent elections, the American people expressed clear disapproval with the path this country was on. They are tired of partisan politics and of an Administration that pays little heed to the wishes of the American people. They want-and deserve-a Congress that holds the Administration accountable and fulfills its Constitutional responsibility to check and balance the Executive. I share this sentiment and am determined to work hard and across party lines in the United States Senate to promote issues that are of real concern to most Americans, including the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, homeland security, global warming, and lobbying and election reform.
At this time, however, I believe that impeachment proceedings against President Bush will only divide the country even further, frustrating our hopes for a meaningful change in direction, while having little chance of success.
I have been deeply disappointed by many of this Administration's actions and have been outspoken in those instances. Nevertheless, given the challenges our country faces I believe that we need to focus on constructive and cooperative steps that would lead us in the right direction.
Again, thank you for your continued correspondence. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
I have had same
I have had same results....have written my representative (TX McCaul) and Senators (Cornyn and Hutchison) and always get the same form letter back from them. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a specific "yes or no" answer from any member of Congress. I just write to them to fill up their email box because I know it does no good.....they are all Bush lackeys and and do their master's bidding....they most certainly would not support impeachment. Have heard that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is even being considered as McCain's VP......probably not seriously, but heard it mentioned on TV the other day. Think she also is thinking about running for governor here in Texas. She would be just as horrible as current governor Perry. These 3 members of Congress are among the worst....they never vote according to Constitution....they always vote according to Bush. I certainly hope that Texans will vote them out of office....I know I will vote for anyone who runs against them!
Granted Feinstein Is A Senator -- BUT Senators Do Not Impeach

Feinstein is horrible, here is a response she sent me
in the past on the rfid chip\real id card being put in california licenses.
Thank you for your letter regarding a standardized national identification card. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
Protecting our nation from future terrorist attacks is one of my highest priorities. Over 5 years ago, the 9/11 Commission Report authors recommended the creation of national standards for the issuance of state driver's licenses and identification cards and I believe that this is an important goal. For that reason, I generally support REAL ID.
You should be aware that the proposed regulations for REAL ID simply establish common standards for states to issue licenses. They would not establish a national database of driver information. States will continue to collect and store information about applicants as they do today, and DMV employees in one state will not have access to the driving records of drivers in another state. The purpose of the legislation is to create a way for states to verify the validity of a driver's license issued in another state. In fact, states are required to develop security plans to prevent the unauthorized access to this information.
Please know that I share your concerns about the cost of the program. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that the cost for states to comply with REAL ID will exceed $14 billion. The National Governors Association has estimated that states will need $1 billion to cover the onetime start up costs of implementing REAL ID. This cost poses a significant financial burden on states, many of whom are facing tight budgets. For that reason, I supported the $50 million in funds dedicated to REAL ID included in H.R. 2638, the fiscal year 2008 Homeland Security Appropriations bill.
Again, thank you for writing. I value your opinion, and I hope you will continue to keep in touch with me on issues of importance to you. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein

How do we trust people who use their congressional seat to get rich?
Especially with tax-payer monies - I am so tired of these people. And here we have a man (Ron Paul) who won't even take a congressional pension - never having voted for a congressional raise.
Congress gets to vote for their own raises! Is this the most ludicrous thing you have ever heard of????

Takes one to know one
Here is the definition of an "accomplice" in the legal dictionary:
"One who knowingly, voluntarily, and with common intent unites with the principal offender in the commission of a crime. One who is in some way concerned or associated in commission of crime; partaker of guilt; one who aids or assists, or is an Accessory. One who is guilty of complicity in crime charged, either by being present and aiding or abetting in it, or having advised and encouraged it, though absent from place when it was committed, though mere presence, Acquiescence, or silence, in the absence of a duty to act, is not enough, no matter how reprehensible it may be, to constitute one an accomplice. One is liable as an accomplice to the crime of another if he or she gave assistance or encouragement or failed to perform a legal duty to prevent it with the intent thereby to promote or facilitate commission of the crime."
Your senator sucks...
...and shouldn't be in office if she can't perform the job of upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States of America.
This is so easy
to break down. All these gutless congress people and Senators are just HACKS. They OBEY not the Constitution but their parties leadership. Who owns the party leadership? CFR (and their masters, and their MASTER)!!

again ironically...
it was sentiments like that quoted, I assume, above that directly resulted in the constitutional power of the congress to impeach to maintain a balance of power. Government is necessary in a large polity of human beings, the only question is who governs and how the citizens impact the process.
Without impeachment, we are the subjects of 4 year dictatorships to an extent that exceeds our willingness to comprehend. If we are at the point when the exercise of the constitution is a threat to the government, we are obligated to overthrow it.

Response from my Rep. in Congress
Dear Mr. Dupont:
I understand your strong condemnation of the actions of Vice
President Cheney, which leads you to believe that filing articles of
impeachment against him would be a good approach, but I
disagree on the choice of this specific tactic.
The fact is that there is no realistic chance of an impeachment
proceeding resulting in his removal, since this would require the
support of two thirds of the United States Senate and there is
absolutely no chance of that happening. This is particularly the
case because, sadly, many of the things that this Administration
has done wrong were in fact done with the concurrence of many
members of Congress - almost all Republicans, and unfortunately a
few Democrats. That is, some members of Congress would be in
the difficult position of voting in effect to impeach themselves, and
they would be reluctant to admit error to that degree.
In addition, I think it would be a mistake to shift the grounds of our
political debate to impeachment because we are, in my view, on
the verge of winning some important victories in substantive areas
(in large part because the Democrats are now the majority party in
Congress). Most importantly, I think we are about to get
majorities in both Houses to force an end to the war in Iraq - the
President may then decide to defy that, and if he were to do that,
there would be grounds for beginning an impeachment inquiry.
That is, if we were to vote for a binding withdrawal and he were to
avoid it, impeachment could then arguably be our only resort.
The reason I prefer to stay away from impeachment at this point is
that we cannot get the votes - especially in the U.S. Senate - to
require a withdrawal from Iraq without some Republicans joining
us, because there are only 50 Democrats in the Senate now
functioning, and Senator Lieberman votes with the Republicans on
this matter. This means we need Republicans. We are beginning
to get them, but if impeachment becomes the issue, party loyalty
will step in.
I should note that we are not talking about actually getting the Vice
President out of office, but simply raising the issue, because, again,
there is no chance at this point of getting the two-thirds in the
Senate needed for conviction. Although some have said that they
thought trying to impeach would send a good lesson, I think the
argument of history - including with President Clinton - is that an
unsuccessful impeachment can be taken to some extent as a
vindication.
I therefore think that, with less than two years remaining for this
Administration, the best thing for us to do is to continue to fight
against the Administration on a whole range of issues, press
contempt citations against his aides who refuse to testify about
illegal wiretapping, the politicization in the Justice Department
etc., and in particular, focus on ending the war in Iraq that is by far
the gravest need before our country.

The impeachment of Bill Clinton
in dogged opposition to the will of the majority of Americans has ironically served as impeachment insurance for the current administration. If anyone attempts to impeach a republican, they can harken back to those miserable days and dredge up the partisan hell (THAT THEY PURPOSEFULLY CREATED FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT) to take a principled patriotic stand in a time of war (GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG) in support of the president. And the Democrapublicans race to take shelter under the big tent of "principled" hypocrisy. Have you heard the one about the republican and the rule of law...
If they thought this progression through from the beginning, its truly a stroke of political genius to so neuter the power of an elected assembly that any autocrat would appreciate.
In contrast, Ron Paul's respect for the orderly deliberation of such a serious charge sounds like a reasonable approach. I do think he understands that disabling the impeachment process is an invitation to tyranny and that the writers of the constitution recognized that as a distinct and ever present possibility in human affairs...exhibiting a wisdom now totally lacking in the nation they founded.
Email to my Rep.
Dear Mr. Stark,
President George W. Bush lied and deceived the American people and congress to go to war with Iraq illegally, immorally and unjustly.
This war has cost many thousands of American lives, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives and upwards of hundreds of billions in taxpayer funds.
I realize your voting record does not show a huge amount of concern for taxpayers, but as one, this war has hurt my future as well as the future of my kids and grandkids. Not only that, the black cloud that has been placed over America due to this dastardly activity has helped make our once bright and shiny nation a more depressing and discouraging place to live.
This war has helped erode the individual liberties of ALL U.S. citizens. This is not justifiable.
George W. Bush has acted in an Anti-American fashion and he is clearly helping to ruin our country. He has doubtlessly committed some form of "misdemeanor" at the very least with his litany of abuses of the American people and the world.
You mean to tell me this person cannot be impeached?
Thank you for considering my sentiment.

Congressmen Olver's explanation (according to Nader)
Bush has promised to nuke Iran and declare martial law. There is a youtube video of Nader saying so. It is my topic for the day as I call every politician I know of. Oh, and I will be calling every military official I can get a number for, and requesting they arrest Bush and Cheney and bring them before a military tribunal, as it appears our elected officials are essentially hostage to the threats of these men. If you have any good phone numbers for high-up officials, lay them digits on me. I have been amazed to find that average Josephine civilian cannot find phone numbers to contact military officials - just recruiting offices. I have friends, though.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

You won't get it !
Kucinich tried ,Wexler tried, Conyers tried, It's not about anything more than who decides that Bush/Cheney get's impeached and those people who really pull the strings won't let it happen.The Impeached Nixon to pave the way for the first evil bush and really for nothing and then they impeached Clinton for a blowjob and you remember how fast that was. Bush has done things that are unimaginably evil and yet noone can seem to impeach him why ? Because the powers that do these things have an agenda and Bush/Cheney getting kicked is not part of it. You don't really believe that the people have "any" power do you ?
At least not until they are willing to take the country back by force.

RP on impeachment
I remember last fall, when the Hon. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment into the House. Ron Paul did not act to invalidate or not support the measure. He did say that the measure needed to go to the House Judiciary Committee, and perhaps needed a select committee to properly and constituitionally discuss and debate this measure as it is very weighty. In all honesty, by the time that hearings are held, and the measure returned to the house floor, it will be time for elections, and the meaning will be moot. This should have happened in 2004 after that idiot, Paul Bremer went to Iraq and screwed everything up over there.
I hope that the Republican Party will disown Bushcheney when the convention occurs. If I can get there, I will walk out on him.
