Although I was there for mainly moral support for these very intelligent women, I did add my 2 cents, of giving a copy of all the places that have passed resolutions or are in the midst of doing so, to show there is growing support for impeachment. And added ,last November after elections the Democrats enjoyed a 65% approval rating and now it has dropped to28% for not complying with the mandate of the people to stop the war and accountability of this administration. MaryEllen corrected me that the most recent poll showed only 14% ....and was even lower than the president's.
There was one item I did want to read to Holt, but Linda being optimistic Holt would be receptive to our request, thought maybe it would be a little strong. I know I have been harping on this fact for sometime now but we do need to remind our elected officials of exactly their duties according to their oath of office and the Constitution.
T he Oath of Office of the House of Representatives:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.
As I reflect back on the events of yesterday, I know we have to change things in this country, for what we currently have in DC are not representing us, but are representing big business and their corporate sponsors. If you think that the Democrats aren't being forced to march in lock step behind Pelosi, the same as the Republicans are held in line by Rove.....you are only kidding your self.
Since we were asked to educate you dumb Americans, I am forwarding some of the most recent articles on impeachment and please feel free to contact Rush Holts office to let him know you are one of the educated.
IN FACT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
