There it is, folks, and if the shoe fits, you know what to do. Your silence has been both appalling and immoral. You are as responsible for the death and destruction in Iraq as the Bush/PNAC warmongers, and your legacy will mark you as the lackeys and bootlickers you are.
For the record, and to give credit where it's due, this is not addressed to every single member of Congress. The proverbial shoe does NOT fit a small handful - a tiny minority among a minority - of courageous and outspoken people whose voices are few but powerful. This message is NOT meant for Congress people such as John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney and others who have refused to be intimidated or suppressed. We salute them for preserving what little is left of our democracy. But you know damn well who you are if you are not among them.
But everything changed with 9/11, you claim. We wouldn 't dare question the President, you say. We would surely have been called traitors, or appeasers, or even worse ....liberals. We had to go along with him, you insist. And in a way, you 're right.
9/11 did change things. It separated the cowards from those with principle and conviction. The latter, sadly, were far outnumbered in Congress by the former. But that is how history is always made. The few who dare, take the risks. And those few earn a lasting and much admired place in history. Not so, you.
Yes, for certain, you know who you are. But more important, so do the American people. They have watched you cower and crawl and promote the crimes of your President and his handlers. Despite the silence of the media and their complicity along with yours, the truth is gradually seeping into the consciousness of the public. If there is any justice in the world, you will answer to them for your cowardice.
Public opinion polls must be making you nervous right now. You men and women, who represent us in the hallowed halls of Congress, have lost the confidence of more than 63 percent of the voters! In truth, you have not lost it; you have systematically and cravenly destroyed it. You made choices, and hopefully, you will have to answer for them. You saw what was happening, you learned the truth, you were witness to the crimes and the treason, and you sat back and did nothing. You saw the evil grow and spread. AND YOU NEVER SAID A WORD.
Next November, the voting public will have its turn (that is if we solve the election fraud situation that has dominated elections since the 2000 coup d 'etat.) They will either thank you for your honorable work, or will remove you from office for your betrayal of their trust. Start worrying now, because your time is short. On Election Day, 2006, the full House and one third of the Senate are up for election. On that day Americans will have a chance to have the very last word. If there is any justice, that word to you will be goodbye.
