Congress Goes On August Recess
By Lance Ciepiela
Congress goes on their August Recess but their work is piled up to the ceiling.
::::::::
Congress went on their August recess break (five weeks at their leisure) but left their work piled up to the ceiling. While they enjoy their long vacation break, our American soldiers are putting their lives on the line in Iraq, even being "stop lossed" to stay there.
Serious work remains to be done in the air conditioned halls of Congress, in the sheer comfort and security of their hearing rooms, with their soft leather chairs to sit in and they just talk the day away, even discussing the potential and probable high crimes and misdemeanors of the Bush administration http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products_id=280000-1, like taking the nation to war against Iraq on "false pretenses", which would mean that each and every death of an American soldier and an Iraqi would be an "unlawful death" CLICK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45f1Riv_z1I requiring that Congress alone is now obligated and responsible to forego their August vacation break in order to hold immediate impeachment hearings on their 39 pending Articles of Impeachment, one hour for debate and 15 minutes to vote on each Article, CLICK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiIn3ytaUjI in order to pursue fully for the American people the cause of "justice, truth, and the value of one single life" CLICK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLFEW0Hq7-0
The very least that these representatives and senators in their comfortable suits and plush offices could do, with their extensive staffs and privileges and perks, and multiple district offices, is not only hold their immediate impeachment hearings but also take the necessary action to bring those who misled the nation to justice.
Lance Ciepiela is a retired senior who had an interesting career in government service - a United States Marine Corps (USMC) Vietnam-Era veteran, who became interested in restoring the Constitution after I realized that W Bush had attacked Iraq on false pretense and got away with it. First thing I asked myself on 9/11 as the two planes smashed into the Twin Towers was - "where are the interceptors"? - this could not have been a terrorist attack with NORAD nowhere in sight to defend our skies not even at the Pentagon. My hope (Hope is a Great Source of Strength - Simon Murray) for restoring the Constitution is that Congress, the White House, and Justice Department, will get back to the "rule of law" by bringing W Bush to justice under our laws and treaties - and every Representative and Senator in Congress, and the President, would finally arrive at the "third stage" of accepting the truth about 9/11 = "knew it all along", was preset explosives and precisely timed demolitions going off in all three towers and was not the office fires or the two planes that brought the three towers down like the officials said.
