935 (Nine hundred and thirty-five)

I know it sounds like I'm beating a dead country, err, I mean horse, but thanks to the Center for Public Integrity, we have a pretty good approximation of the number of lies BushCheneyCo told to get us into an illegal war. And that number of course, is 935.
These are the untruths that spouted from the lips of the top eight administration officals. TWO HUNDRED SIXTY were from the master prevaricator himself, George W. Bush.
Excuse me, but refresh my memory, WHY are they not being IMPEACHED?
I've said it before to friends, that failure to use the Impeachment provision of the Constitution to address these crimes is the first step in relegating this wonderful covenant of the American people to the trash heap of history. Failure to use It's elegant structure for removing miscreants from office will ensure that it will never be used for lesser crimes, or greater.
The fact that it was used against President Clinton for something so minor was truly an embarrassment, yet legal. But now, with the scope of the president and vice-president's crimes both known and hidden SO ENORMOUS, it is surely a travesty that this remedy is not being pursued. What are the Democrats in congress afraid of? Surely not a backlash of the voters! The majority of voters in this country favor investigating the President and Vice President for his roles in many crimes. Everyone of these voters, in their hearts, understands what the failure to NOT impeach means. It means more of the same down the road. They feel helpless and hopeless that there is a means for removing this blight on our nation and it IS NOT BEING USED. It's like the scenario of someone being assaulted on the street, and no one picks up the phone to call the police! Well, our constitution and people ARE being assaulted! It's time to pick up the phone!
So it's time for the people to pick up the phone. and the pen. and the keyboard. Contact your Congressional representative and tell them to get off their butt, if they haven't yet done so. And if you live in Washington state, tell your state reps to support the measure in the legislature calling for impeachment!
And tell your friends and family, too. What good is sputtering, apoplectic outrage, if you can't share it?
