Impeach George W. Bush

I’m so angry right now, I’m shaking.

In what can only be described as a flagrant abuse of power, George Bush has commuted Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s prison term. This was the single glimmer of accountability the American people have seen since the beginning of Bush’s disastrous and psychotic reign.

Like a lot of people, I’ve been in favor of impeachment for years now–however, I knew there was no way it could possibly happen. Bush was too powerful, too well guarded, and no one had the spine to stand up to him. He’s lost nearly all of that now. All that remains is his rigid, unforgivable clinging to failed policies and corrupt officials. Now, by this spectacular flouting of the rule of law, he has shown that he believes he and his administration are above it.

It’s long past time to show him that’s he’s wrong. George Bush must be removed from the presidency.

Call your senators. Call your congressperson. Tell them you want Bush out of office. It’s going to take a lot for this to happen. The political games of the 2008 elections have been in play for months already, and a failed Democratic impeachment attempt could be a black eye on polling day. That means that we need every single person to let your representatives know how you feel, and to get them to do their duty.

I’ve already left voicemail messages for Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and Senators Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl. They were something similar to this:

Hello, my name is Marc Teale, and I’m incensed by Bush’s flagrant abuse of power by commuting Scooter Libby’s prison term. I would like to encourage the senator/rep to draft or support a resolution to impeach the president. He’s gone too far, and we need him out of office. Thank you.

If you don’t know who your representatives are, you can find your senators here, and your House representative here.

Please call. If you do, I’d appreciate if you comment to let me know. Thanks.
