Reply #69: BTW - it might also be strategically shrewd to call Steny Hoyer and Rahm Immanuel.

THEY need to hear this, too, as does Murtha's office. AND your own guy/gal.

The MORE noise we make about this, the better.

A couple of talking points:

SURELY, CERTAINLY, BY NOW, we have seen enough. BY NOW, we have heard enough. Tenet. rice. rove. wolfowitz. gonzales. The Tillman hearings. The flagrant and multiple violations of the Hatch Act - not doing party politics on government time or in government offices with government people.

Didn't we settle this during Watergate - that NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE pRESIDENT - is ABOVE THE LAW??????

I didn't bust my butt ALL LAST YEAR ('cause I KNOW you did!) working, calling, lobbying, donating, emailing, signing petitions, talking to friends/coworkers/neighbors/family members, driving around with bumper stickers, giving my yard/front windows over to campaign signs, giving of my time, my energy, my ideas, AND MY MONEY - TIL IT HURT - to get the Dems back into the majority - FOR YOU GUYS TO WIMP OUT ON SEEKING FULL ACCOUNTABILITY!!!

Are you FOR accountability, or aren't you?

Are you willing to tell future generations that these MANY, MANY, MANY flagrant violations of the law and of morals and ethics - were okay, when the NEXT bush wannabe comes along (because another one will, in 20 years or so, and will want to finish what bush started. GUARANTEED.)???

If you don't try to stop him, you're nothing but an enabler, and an accomplice. If you don't try to stop these people, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE ONE OF THEM, because you're complicit. You are, in effect, saying that what they've done is okay.

WE put YOU in the majority to do OUR BIDDING. YOU work for US. AS YOUR EMPLOYER, I am telling you that I want bush and cheney stopped, and held FULLY responsible for what they've done.

bush and cheney will continue to refuse to stop the war. WE THE PEOPLE voted YOU into power to stop it ANYWAY. Since bush and cheney refuse to acknowledge the will of the people, IT FALLS TO YOU TO DO THAT. We MUST stop this war. And it's now clear that the ONLY way to do that is to RELIEVE the commander-in-chief AND his second-in-command of their duties.

Just a few ideas there.

And finally, here's a REALLY great quote from our own DUer gratuitous. WELL WORTH REPEATING, and putting DIRECTLY to them:


Bush will be in office unless he's impeached for another 600 days, more or less. We're losing two or three soldiers a day in Iraq for no good reason other than the madman in the Oval Office's out of control ego. If you don't want to impeach this madman, go over to Iraq, and pick out 1,500 men and women to die. Doesn't matter which ones, but 1,500 of them at least are going to die by January 2009. Why don't you pick them out now, maybe even talk to a few of them, and tell them that because you don't have what it takes to the leaders the people elected you to be, they have to die?
