The moral principles and audacious hopes that drove the founding of our nation were eviscerated by the "
http://www.masshist.org/objects/2005july.cfm">convenant with death and agreement with hell" by which our Constitution condemned a sixth of our fellow Americans to enslavement.
From the start, true patriots fought to repair that intolerable breach, but no subsequent act -- not the passage of the 13th Amendment; not the election of a black President -- can erase the incalculable human suffering or moral and material costs.
Once again, as we declare our intent to dedicate ourselves to building a government that manifests the principles we claim to treasure, we are allowing the men and women we elected to represent us to make a new "covenant with death and agreement with hell."By failing to impeach, Our Congress -- Our Voice -- endorses torture. By failing to impeach, Our Congress surrenders our sovereign authority.
Our Constitution is in breach. Impeachment is the ONLY means to repair that breach.
Only a vote on impeachment can finally divide the defenders of torture from the defenders of our Constitution. Only a vote on impeachment can divide those who are committed to creating an authoritarian state from those committed to defending the principle that legitimate government power can
only be derived from the consent of the governed.
If we allow Congress to fail us without a fight, our dedication to a "new beginning" is a lie. Anything we build will be as fragile as house of cards built on sand.
It is not too late for the 110th Congress act. Our so-called "leaders" can no longer invoke fear of electoral defeat to excuse their intolerable failure. And if members of the 110th Congress fail us, we must look to the 111th Congress. We must call on Kucinich to introduce articles against Bush and Cheney when they convene on January 6th.
President-elect Obama has called on us to join the fight to shape our common destiny as citizens and patriots.
The time to start is now. Today. Fight to break America's new "covenant with death and agreement with hell." Fight to rescue our Constitution and make the assertion "we do not torture" REAL. Confront the leadership; confront your district's representative -- current and elect.
Call on them to finally set aside their irrational fears and take up the fight for impeachment.Call. Visit. Fax.
It's our patriotic duty.
