If impeachment proceedings and the re-opening of the 9/11 investigation do not begin while these criminals are still in power this nation will forever be disgraced and the ideals for which millions of Americans have died over the past two centuries will have been lost.

Do you think impeachment is not the right thing to do? How is sending our troops to die in an illegal unjust war based on lies the right thing to do? How is allowing treasonous war criminals to stay in the White House the right thing to do? How is torturing people that are detained without trial the right thing to do? We are sending the world the message that in American government you can basically be a fascist war criminal and still count on the support of the masses that fall for the propaganda they are fed through the right-wing owned and controlled corporate media. This is a sad time for this nation; impeachment and trials for the Bush Regime is the only thing that may redeem us.

If Bush is not impeached for his actions then this will set a precedent that allows future Administrations to start wars at will, torture prisoners, wiretap citizens without warrants and conduct more state-sponsored terrorism, possibly through using avian flu for example. We must act now by speaking the truth of what has happened and hold those responsible accountable to prevent these terrible crimes from happening again in the future.

This is not a question of supporting one party over another, but of upholding the rule of law over both of them. This is about protecting the Constitution and the abuse of power by the executive branch; this is about not letting these treasonous war criminals get away with their terrible crimes. This is about mass murder for empire and corporate profit.

If we do not use impeachment for Bush, Inc. who can we use it for? If we do not hold the Bush Administration accountable for their horrible and extremely un-American crimes, what hope is there for the future of this nation?
