Check this out, by 20-term Congressman John Conyers of Michigan. In my opinion, it's frightening and pitiful that the situation has reached the point where a respected, thoughtful U.S. Congressman would even be CONTEMPLATING such action against the Bush Administration. Yet here we are, just 4 years after 9/11: our civil liberties and our very Democracy drifting further and further into danger. We need to stop it, now, before it gets even worse. Right. Now.
Letter Advising President of Censureand
Steps to Begin Special Committee Investigation
Dear Mr. President:
We are brave, proud, patriotic citizens of the United States. We love our country and are writing to express our profound disappointment with you and your administration for your conduct surrounding the Iraq War, the collection and use of intelligence, and your disrespect for the laws of this great nation.
We are calling upon Congress to form a Special Committee to investigate your administration's abuses of power and report any offenses which rise to the level of impeachment.
We are also calling upon Congress to immediately censure you and Vice-President Cheney.
We have great love for our country and faith in the government institutions provided for in our constitution. We believe that the integrity of our nation is at stake and have supported these steps only after your administration has refused to come clean with the American people at every opportunity.
Respectfully,
John Conyers
