Today is January 7, 2006…
"Out of Iraq" events were scheduled in 136 cities.
I showed up at one where two local Democratic Congressional Representatives were invited to speak to
the audience, but questions from the audience to the
Representatives were not invited—like mine, for example.
Here are three related questions I would have liked to ask. Maybe you can put them to your representative if you ever get the chance:
-
How come there are 435 members of the House of Representatives and I haven't been able to find one, including you, who
instead of just talking about defending the Constitution will actually
stand up and defend it… by that I mean, how come not one
of you is willing to say in public that you believe Bush, Cheney, and other members of his administration should be impeached?
How come I know they should be impeached and you don't?
-
Assuming that you actually believe Bush and his cabal ought to be impeached (there's no mention of it on your web site), how come you haven't entered articles of impeachment?
-
If
you did submit articles of impeachment, you could then
explain to your constituents why you think Bush and others
in his administration deserve to be impeached. That
would be a legitimate attempt at preserving and protecting
the Constitution, something you should have done a long
time ago. Had you done your job, perhaps some of
Bush's most egregious decisions would have been
prevented. While you surely would be attacked for
doing this, you would not have to put your life on the line like our soldiers do every day, fighting an illegal
war, erroneously believing that they are defending the
Constitution. If you did your job, you might save
lives. So my questions is... instead of looking out
for yourself, why don't you do what you're supposed to
do... what we're paying you to do… the job you promised
you would do?
