Coverup = Impeachment by Carol Wolman

Does anyone remember Richard Nixon?  He was threatened with impeachment for covering up the burglary of Democratic headquarters in the Watergate apartments during the 1972 electoral campaign.

 

Bush is engaged in the coverup of a much more serious crime, one that involves treason- the outing of an undercover CIA agent, Valerie Plame.  Whether it was Karl Rove or someone else in the White House, Bush must have known, or have been able to find out quickly, who it was.  The person should have been fired immediately, and efforts made to repair the damage.  Instead, we have unending denials and stonewalling from Bush and his henchpeople, a definite covering up of a heinous crime.

 

This deserves impeachment.  The Downing Street memos, showing that Bush deliberately lied and twisted intelligence in order to win support for his illegal invasion of Iraq, has already sparked informal inquiries by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and 125 other Representatives into the need for impeachment.  The Valerie Plame case provides much stronger grounds for a finding of high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

The Democratic leadership is happy to go after Karl Rove, but once again are sidestepping the necessity for impeachment, even though it is obvious payback time for the ordeal that Clinton went through. 

 

Impeachment will only happen if we the people take matters into our own hands, and generate such intense pressure on Congress that they have to take notice.  You can help generate that pressure by printing out the letter to John Conyers at http://DeepEndNews.com/MEMORANDUM.htm    Collect 15 signatures per page and get your friends to do the same.   Fax them to Conyers' office at the number given.  Even if you have already signed it on line, take it to the many people who don't have internet access.

 

Impeachment is the peaceful way to make the necessary changes in our government.

 

In the name of the Prince of Peace,  Carol Wolman
