The impeachment process is ugly, indeed - it is the investigation of crimes committed by the President. It's SUPPOSED to be ugly, but it is supposed to repair the wrongdoing and punish the guilty. Mr. Engel would have us accept Bush's wrongdoing and wait till the 2008 elections to make our voice heard again. This is a sorry excuse from a member of a Democratic Congress with a disapproval rating lower even then Bush's and exactly because they have continued to appease the President, turn a blind eye to his crimes, and worse yet, ignore the voters of 2006 who clearly were sick of government corruption and wanted an end to the Iraq occupation. With the most important issues going ignored by the Democrats, why should we listen anymore?

I again implore you, Mr. Engel, as my Representative, to stand up for what's right. Pursue your own bills but please sign on to HR 333. The Democrats need not fear the backlash by crooked Republicans and their slime tactics. The American people want honest leaders who are brave enough to speak up and speak out for what's right without fear of reprisal from the very people who stand accused of crimes and misdemeanors. For our children, please forget about the impeachment proceedings of yesteryear and investigate the current administration for the damage already done. If you don't, the crimes they are committing today and the crimes they'll commit right up until their last day in office  (and the slew of associated pardons) will be as much your fault as theirs.
