It is true that Democrats in Congress cannot impeach George Bush (and Dick
Cheney, who shares full responsibility with George Bush) by themselves.

But Democrats can introduce Articles of Impeachment and thereby put the
issue of accountability squarely before the Republican majority - and the
American people.

If Republicans prevent a full Congressional investigation and debate over
Bush's lies, they will dishonor the 1,871 soldiers who died for those
lies.


That is their choice to make - and they will have to suffer the moral (and
political) consequences.

But as the House Minority Leader, it is your solemn duty to begin this
urgent moral debate.

I urge you to introduce Articles of Impeachment immediately.


Sincerely,

Bob Fertik, President

p.s. I also urge you to fully support the following Iraq-related bills
that
have already been introduced in this Congress, and to use your office to
persuade all House Democrats to support these bills:

President to develop and implement a plan for the withdrawal of United
States Armed Forces from Iraq
