For OpEdNews: Ralph Lopez - Writer Most people don't know it, but there is a 60-year-old man out in the cold right now walking toward Washington DC, who says Bush and Cheney need to be impeached in order to save the Constitution. He says he doesn't like hiking, and he doesn't like cold, but that someone had to do something. He has dipped deep into his retirement savings for the project, so much that he's not sure what he's going to do about retirement now. But he's convinced that if Bush and Cheney are not called to account for breaking the law and violating the Constitution, right now, the country will never be the same. People are walking alongside, waving, and wishing well as he goes. I call myself an Eisenhower-Roosevelt Republican. Eisenhower warned us of the threat to our freedoms of the "Military-Industrial Complex." Teddy Roosevelt wanted the little guy to have a chance against big business, so he busted up the monopolies. I believe that if either of these men were alive today, they'd be calling for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
His name is John Nirenberg, a college professor from Vermont. He may be liberal, but I'm not, so I've drawn up my own little list of "Why They Should be Impeached" so we conservatives can be counted too.
What people don't realize is that John Nirenberg is standing up for the rights of even those calling him a nut. He believes, as the Constitution says, that every American has the right to a jury trial, no matter what the charge is. Under the label of "enemy combatant" George Bush can now sweep up anyone, waterboard them, and no one will ever know it.
Isn't that the way of the world? You have people who are acting as your friends, and you don't even know it. Might even call them a nut. Nirenberg plans on marching into DC around January 12, with a stack of letters and signatures for Nancy Pelosi telling her to put impeachment back on the table. If you want to know where he'll be on any given day until then, go to www.MarchInMyName.org
