Freedom Is Not Free – And Americans Are Poised To Lose Everything, Part 1

Thankfully, this information didn’t escape the attention of Dennis Kucinich, and he has already written a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. and stated that impeaching VP Dick Cheney may be the only way to prevent an eventual war with Iran:

Congressman Kucinich writes letter to Judiciary Committee head supporting impeachment of Vice President Cheney

On Friday, as the embattled legislation is pushed into committee, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) wrote to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) in support of H. Res 799, Articles of Impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Text of the letter appears below.

I am writing in support of H. Res. 799, the Articles of Impeachment which were referred to the committee relative to the Impeachment of the Vice President of the United States of America.

Recent reports indicate that the Vice President is attempting to shape the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran to conform to his misperceptions about the threat Iran actually poses. Much like his deceptive efforts in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Vice President appears to be manipulating intelligence to conform to his beliefs. MORE

Even though the possibility of impeaching Dick Cheney is encouraging, the fact is, such an action may be placing us in grave danger of Bush enacting this semi-secret directive and purposely creating a set of circumstances so he can use it, thus derailing any serious impeachment effort. I am not stating that the fear of him declaring martial law is a reason to suspend such efforts, in fact, to the contrary, I advocate going full-steam ahead - but with our eyes wide-open into the possible consequences of such an action, and what we as a nation can do to stop Bush from derailing legal and appropriate Congressional action! There are different messages of action and encouragement to each of our several branches of governmental entities that must be stated, and an understanding of what each of these parties, including what the people themselves can do to help circumvent Bush or Cheney derailing our Congress from meeting this daunting challenge head-on, and each will be addressed to the appropriate entities:

To the People of the United States:

I am addressing this message to the “average American”, those that inhabit the quickly disappearing Middle-class, lower Middle-class, and the poor of our country. We are the in the majority of this nation, and corporations exist not in spite of us, but because of our daily efforts and work that keeps this country functioning on an everyday basis. Corporations and special interest groups, while they exhibit the most influence on our Congress and even the President himself - none of them would exist if it were not for us, and if we choose to do so, working in unison and standing in solidarity - we have the power to change the course of history by simply exercising our rights of free speech, and taking the time to make sure this message is broadly disseminated to individuals and groups that can apply the necessary pressure to force Congress to heed our will.

1. Take the time to forward this message to your appropriate Congressional representatives, and if you choose to do so, add your own comments as to why it’s important that they act - and how to prevent our decent into utter tyranny. This action will only take a minute or two of your time. You have the right to DEMAND that Congress take action, not ask, as it is our country, not theirs. Remind them they can be voted out of office if they refuse to obey the will of the people.

2. For those of you that have the time, also make sure and send this message to your appropriate local newspapers and address them to the Editor, again demanding that they cover this issue with the importance that it is due. If enough of you do this, the papers will be forced to respond - or have to answer to angry subscribers who can threaten to discontinue their readership and support of those papers. Again, you can simply forward them a copy of this Editorial, and if enough of you take the time to act, they will be forced to respond. They too exist because of our support - which we can quickly stop if they refuse to listen and act accordingly.

3. If you listen to Air America, make a call and insist that they broadcast this message to everyone that will listen - and tell them that you support their efforts to help free us from the heel of oppression.

4. If you are a fan of Lou Dobbs, who many call a conservative, whether you like him or not, remember that he has doggedly plead the case for the “average American” and has valiantly attempted to support our cause and stop the outsourcing of our jobs and tirelessly speaks with clarity on the corruption that exists within the Bush administration. Don’t like Lou Dobbs, then send Jack Cafferty a quick message, and ask either of them why they have not addressed this critical issue, and request that they focus on the real danger to our democratic Republic.

5. If Keith Olbermann is your favorite, take a few moments to send him a message and request that he help to bring attention to this issue. Or, simply forward a copy of this Editorial to countdown@msnbc.com .

6. Finally, tell as many of your friends that remain unaware of this imminent danger, and ask then to participate in “taking back America.” Remember, the majority of Americans aren’t even aware of this absurd Presidential directive - and as always, knowledge is power, and so far, we have been complacent and none of us have yet acted in unison to stop President Bush from assuming complete control of our country. If you have followed the links and examined the evidence and facts yourself - by now you must be aware of the actual danger this directive poses to the very essence of freedom in America.
