-- Congress must support the executive and overrule the highest court in the land....A "modest (police state) proposal" according to the Journal and one it clearly supports.

I am a 72 year old, retired, progressive small businessman concerned about all the major national and world issues, committed to speak out and write about them.
History is going to judge the traitors in Congress harshly. This Congress is a rubber stamp for corruption. This Congress has ruined the system of checks and balances on the President. This Congress has taken us closer to the end of the Democratic experiment.
All of the Congress people voting to support these measures should be systematically targeted and removed from office by the people.
The former United States ended when the Republican and Democratic parties joined forces in a coup against the people.
May they all be followed and hounded for the rest of time for their treachery against the people and may their fortunes all one day be taken as they have sold out generations.

Amen, bro. We must hold these people fully accountable and never forget how they have misrepresented us, beginning with the next election. Now more than ever we must urge them to vote with Kucinich for impeachment. It is not good enough to complain amoungst ourselves. We must call or write or email our reps and complain to them. Don't be intimidated. Stay in their face. Stick on them like mud and let them know how you feel about this dictator who has taken over our country. That or forever hang your head in shame by not jumping on this opportunity. We are running out of time to impeach. Impeachment is cause for celebration. Let's make it happen.

My friend, I "second" you. Thank you for all that you wrote.
Yes, impeachment is key. I just wrote a letter to the editor today, stating that we will NOT vote for any Congress member who a) backs torture b) votes yes for war funding based on lies c) refuses to impeach two run-away mass murderers and d) any Congress member who votes to usurp Constitutional freedom.
I added a very strong message to my letter:
I hereby indict any Congress member as war criminal who votes for funding of war based on lies, refuses to impeach, votes for torture, etc. Further, I ask officials overseas and City Councils and County Supervisors, to issue arrest warrants for any member of Congress who does any of the above.
May I ask that others please do the same.
And send out chain emails asking readers to meet with their local officials, and write officials overseas, asking for arrest warrants. Because with kidnapping sanctioned by Bush---and Congress----anywhere in the world, this is a security issue to anyone and everyone walking the earth. Therefore officials overseas must get involved.
Apparently teh system of checks and balances has to come from overseas. I hereby ask that we as citizens plug for that cause, and for the cause of local officials doing the same.
After all, Brattleboro VT issued arrest warrants for Bush/Cheney, other cities have written impeachment resolutions....so why can't this happen elsewhere?
The key thing to getting it to happen is to a) remind officials that the economy is at stake as we strike Iran (show Seymore Hersch's New Yorker article ) b) REmind them that they are paid to implement the public will, so it's not about their wishes or beliefs or agendas or what they support. It's about us.
Thank you all for spreading word abotu this strategy.
And please write letters to the editor about Kucinich's article of impeachment. Getting the issue of war based on lies on the public radar may prevent the strike on Iran. Because criminality does not like to see the light of day. IF Bush and Cheney really did NOT care that information was getting out, they would not have endangered Valerie Plame's life out of revenge. So obviously, contrary to what we might think, they both do care what we people think and know. That's why they censor the press. So....repeat: Criminality does not like to see the light of day. Bring on the sunshine! WOrk for the impeachment cause. Strategically smart. Thank you all.

I also believe that the feckless Vichy Congress is at least if not more to blame than the Bushreich for the sorry and doomed state of the great land of fear and police state that now goes by the name HOMELAND. Whether it is cowardice, corruption or blackmail this pack of jackals, swine and rank perverts are accomplices in the ruination of America and if the law of the land ever is reinstated then every last one of them should have their asses hauled in front of tribunals where they should be tried and convicted for treason and then either imprisoned in their beloved Gitmo or hung. The founding fathers I believe would agree with me on that one.
Total criminals, moral reprobates and unfit to hold ANY office.
Just my two cents

Again...re elect no one ! This is my mission. Remove them all D & R alike and seat new people who's campaigns are NOT paid for by big business.
This is the one "movement" that all the other action groups should be proposing...yet everyone harps on individual issues, many of which could be resolved more easily be getting people into Congress who understand the constitution and actually uphold it.
