To whom it may concern:

Please do not fail to attend the meeting tomorrow the discuss, review and act on the impeachable offense of the current administration.  The Constitution is our foundational document. We cannot allow it to be ignored and over-ruled like it is just a piece of paper.

Starting a war based on lies should be more impeachable than having intimate relations with an intern, although I was OK with impeaching for that too. Our country needs defenders of it honor in this time of grave danger.

We need a government that listens to the people. The people are calling for impeachment. People are speaking and lobbying you because we want our country to return to the rule of law. It does not matter what party is in power if we are a lawless country.

Attend the hearings tomorrow. Listen to the evidence and stand up for America while you still can. I do not care what party you are a member of because the party will soon be over if we do not defend our country now.

Sincerely,
4Peace

Kucinich is the only politician with any spine these days - where were all the watchdogs when the constitution was being ripped to shreds? The GOP want to stop flag burning but it's ok to set the bill of rights on fire?!

You can't call for impeachment every time the administration pisses you off. There were no lies, only faulty and incorrect intelligence. ALL intelligence agencies around the world that participated in intelligence gathering came to the same conclusions regarding accumulation of nuclear materials and WMD. Entry into war was not the mistake. Prosecution and execution of the war was where the major screw-ups occured.

Clinton wasn't impeached for having an affair. He was impeached for lying about it UNDER OATH! Get your facts straight. And if we're going to impeach the President for going to war, we need to do the same for Congress. They did, after all, approve and vote FOR it.

If the people were calling for impeachment, Bush would have been impeached long ago. No matter what your view of his presidency is, he hasn't done anything impeachable by the laws in the constitution.

I agree with much of this letter. The problem arrives when there is little concrete evidence left to support these accuasations.

I looked through the entire Constitution (and its amendments) and I couldn't figure out how the Iraq War was illegal. The Government of the United States, a SOVEREIGN nation led by men elected by its citizens, can go to war as it needs, pre-emptive defence included.

Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, Rumsfeld, and others all should have been impeached for actual statutory crimes they have and continue to commit openly. Congress should of protected the country and impeached them already. By the time any impeachment effort starting now would finish, the new election will be over, rendering the exercise mostly moot.

I agree with this letter whole heartily. To those who claim there weren't any lies there are a countless number of witnesses who disagree. They testify that Bush pushed for the faulty intelligence even when he was told it was faulty. There is also evidence that he intended to invade Iraq from the very start of his presidency he didn't care what his excuse was as long as he had it true or not.

I think that the current president has gone far too long without accusation of impeachment. Maybe if the rest of congress grew a spine, justice could be had.

While I can't comment on the justifications for the war in Iraq, as I'm not well-versed on all that back and forth, I do agree that the current administration has run roughshod over the constitution, primarily with the wiretapping issue, and the Patriot Act. It's frightening, actually.

I know this is a little besides the point of this letter, but don't think what Clinton did should have been considered for impeachment. What does a president's personal life have to do with his/her ability to govern the country? Besides, do you think Clinton is the first president to cheat on his wife? I don't condone infidelity in any way, shape, or form, but the only reason we hear about it now is because we have things like the news, the internet, MySpace, etc. America is so puritanical it's ridiculous...

charges were not brought against Clinton for infidelity, but for lying under oath.

I think we have been given these rights by those who fought for them and we should not waste any opportunity to use them. The government tries to listen to us, but how can we be heard if we do nothing?

Yeah no KIDDING! It steams me when I think about Clinton's impeachment, not because he was being a good guy (he was being a slime,) but because our tax dollars went toward what was ultimately a personal matter. I daresay that war, and how we got into it, is a far cry from Clinton and Lewinsky getting it on.
optimate,  on 08/12/2008 @ 11:16 PM PST  wrote:
I'll echo Smahana here and reiterate that Clinton wasn't charged with cheating on his wife. If you still think that's why he was impeached, you are the unwitting victim of a clever marketing campaign. He was charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power because he tried to cover up the affair, just like Nixon got busted covering up Watergate.

This is absurd. I think the left is still mad over what happened to Clinton. This is not game, you cannot say to want to impeach somebody just because you don't agree with them or their party. Unless they are doing something unlawful I think it just needs to be left alone. Wait the regular 4 years and then if you don't like them vote for someone else.

It baffles me that this president can destroy that which is most dear to the country, our constitution. He has done more to destroy it than all of the presidents before him!

Oh yeah, I agree about the impeachment--how can it possibly be more of a punishable event to mess around with your intern than to start a completely stupid war (which, incidentally, has made most of the world hate us). Intern-cest is a personal/family problem that didn't seriously affect more than 5 people directly; compare that to the families of the soldiers who have died and those who have been traumatized by being stationed in Iraq, attacked by the very people they've been told they need to "help."

Bush will be out of office soon. I'm sure the President of the US didn't send the country to war based on lies and bad information. Don't you think he has a lot of advisors, intelligence and information we'll never know about?

I Agree. Politicians forget all to soon when they get to Washington that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS and they should listen to the people who elected them. I mean when was the last time you heard that phrase anyway?

Bush lied to us and some of you dont understanf that. He has the blood of 4000 american on his hand. This is the same goverment who tried to impeach Clinton for his little act. I guess american lives dont matter. If you was to ask Bush today where are those weapons he would give you that same dumb look. He needs to be impeached and then sent over to Iraq himself

I am horrified at the fact that Bill Clinton's infidelities were impeachable offenses and the Bush Administrations steps towards fascism have gone without punishment. The increasing power of the executive branch and the abuse of signing statements has reached a critical level. I agree that the people are not being fairly represented.

I agree, too, but I don't think Bush actually knew there were no WMD's. The thing that gets me is the whole wire tapping deal...

Sometimes I wonder if our lawmakers even know the constitution exists. So many of our laws totally conflict with it all together.
