The above argument is inappropriate when both Democratic Representatives learned that the United States was actively committing crimes. If they had learned we were covertly executing some of those detainees, would they have spoken out then? A crime is a crime, especially when those crimes place our own soldiers in jeopardy of being tortured themselves because of our flagrant violation of international law. Based on Speaker Pelosi’s inability to muster the courage necessary to defy a President that was actively breaking our own laws, I believe this act alone disqualifies her from ascending to the Presidency when Bush and Cheney are impeached, hence the triple-impeachment to assure the people that those who enabled the Bush administration are denied access to further power and authority.
An urgent matter the Congress also must take up is the unconscionable behavior of the Mainstream News Media. They are large corporate owned media conglomerates that somehow believe they have the right to distort the news and continue the lies and propaganda of the Bush administration, and as a private citizen, I believe that it is within my constitutional rights to demand that they be truthful and fair. We as a nation are not children, and to allow the news media to lie and distort the truth is a slap in the face to the people at large, and we’re tired of it. To read how bad this issue is, please read this brief synopsis. LINK If you doubt that impeachment could be a successful endeavor, it’s because of a complicit MSM, and your speeches and Press Conferences can alert the rest of the people of the necessity to impeach this Presidency and begin the healing process that may take decades to accomplish based on the national debt and the horrible loss of credibility that we as a nation have suffered under the leadership of the Bush administration. Congress may believe the MSM is protecting them, but the word is rapidly spreading that the opposite is true, and slowly but surely, the MSM is losing the battle to hide the truth from the American public.
To label a show as “news” and refuse to tell the truth, distort the truth, or blatantly lie have as some of the networks have done borders on fraud, and lying to the public disguising it as “news” is not a fair representation of free speech, especially as it concerns those who are charged with keeping the nation informed of important news. For the Congress to allow this to continue unabated is a sign that the entire Congress is complicit with the Bush administration. And if that is the case, each and every one of you will be losing your seats in Congress, because the people are watching this Congress as they never have before, and a host of people are taking notes and chronicling those who refuse to stand-up for the people.
The last, but not unimportant issue, is that the Mainstream News Media, once again is attempting to interfere with a federal election, and it’s my belief that their poor coverage of Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul smacks of attempting to influence an election by not fairly representing all of the candidates that are running for election. Dennis Kucinich, who last month won the most votes in a survey conducted by Democracy for America, has now come out on top of an on-line poll of members of Progressive Democrats for America, has not been represented fairly. I am also hearing that the Ron Paul campaign in gaining steam, and even though I’m personally a Kucinich supporter, it is as important to hear the message of Ron Paul too so the nation is able to make a fair and informed opinion of the candidates, not those the MSM are cramming down our collective throats. The aforementioned candidates appear to have a huge movement developing in their favor, and to allow the MSM to keep them without equal news coverage is an attempt at dumbing-down America, and to those of you who believe it’s working, I assure you, it’s not, and more and more Americans are awakening to the corruption that grips Washington, and we as a nation want change, and we demand the Congress of the United States represent the people, and now, while you still can.
The challenges Congress face is real, but we as citizens must remember that it’s us paying these absurd gas, milk, and soaring food costs while our wages remain stagnant, and it is our Congress that are paid well and keep increasing their pay while ours goes down, many of whom are millionaires in their own accord. It is almost impossible for them to identify with what is occurring across this great nation - and it’s high time they understand that the people ARE awakening and we demand change, now, not tomorrow or the next day, but for Congress to take-up these important issues immediately and represent the people; this may be their last chance before the upcoming passage of S 1959 in the Senate, and we are also watching on that Bill. We know there have been thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of emails and phone calls made to Congress on this issue, and yet not a word has been mentioned by the MSM or any other source. Why? This is another matter the Congress of the United States needs to pay heed to the people, not their corporate sponsors or pressure from the Bush administration. This Bill represents the most egregious assault on our constitution since this country was incepted, and the people will not allow this Bill to pass. Again, if this Bill does pass the Senate, it will be another slap in the face of the people, this time it would be a vicious slap that would eventually effect Free Speech, and no one in this nation will forgive Congress if this odious Bill is allowed to pass.
Just yesterday, I learned that several groups in FACEBOOK have also joined-in to send emails and call the Congress LINK, and they are spreading the word as fast as they can, yet a complicit MSM refuses to report upon the massive amount of emails and phone calls of those who are protesting against this unconstitutional Bill! Citizens from all fifty states are emailing and calling Congress on this issue, yet the MSM remains mute, as does our Congress. The protest is far from over, and Congress should acknowledge the concerns of the people instead of ignoring what is a legitimate outpouring of Americans concerned that the very foundation of freedom and democracy could be stripped away from us - and when freedom of speech dies, so does our country and what used to be “The American Way of Life.”
President Bush stated we were either “for him or against him” in similar words, and as we watch a Congress that refuses to perform their duties, it’s time for them to decide that same question. Are they for the American people, or are they against us? The answer to that question is how this Congress will act now that Bush and company have been caught red-handed attempting to “cook” the intelligence to fit their ambitions to bomb Iran, even though the military and the country at large are against starting another war. I speak as an individual, however base this opinion on the many comments made to CNN in their Blog, the many Internet sites and discussion forums that actively post their concern and fear of this Presidency, and the mood and demeanor of the Average American when asked about this Presidency. I believe that my view is shared by countless millions of Americans, and we are all waiting and watching.
Will Congress allow our country to descend into total fascism and dictatorship, or will they stand tall and fight for our Constitution, Bill of Rights and The Rule of Law?
The answer will manifest itself in the next couple of months, but if the Senate passes S 1959, and Congress still refuses to perform their duty, we can all say good-bye to a free and democratic America.
