On a roll ... let's keep it going!
... Congress must hold hearings. (says Dennis Kucinich) There can be no greater offense of a President or a Commander in Chief than to conjure a war based on lies to Congress, to the troops, and to the people of America. I love our country with all my heart and I intend to persist until America is America again. Please contact your friends and neighbors and ask them to go to our website at www.Kucinich.us and sign the impeachment petition.>>>>>>>>>>>> I so totally agree and will continue to support Dennis, whenever possible. If we as individuals are accountible for our actions, and if we seriously phuck up ... can expect a trial, to be judged by our peers, and if guilty ... a nonstop ticket to jail. Why should OUR elected leaders be held any less accountible??? Where does the buck stop when orders are given??? The time is now for impeachment proceedings.. Let's clarify the waters BEFORE the next administration takes office, so they know right from the get-go who they work for, and without doubt will follow our own, as well as international laws.
...............................................................................................
Unity speeches in New Hampshire ... wow ... literally brought tears to my eyes.
It literally, gave me hope in the 'American' dream, and in true justice for all ... from the top down!
Here is a another Democrat wanting what is best for all the American people, and also a strong Democratic congressman.
Support Obama, Support Hillary, and support my favorite candidate/congressperson of all: Dennis Kucinich.
Support accountability from the top down. Timely justice should not only be for the average, and the poor, Americans. The buck stops where??? Let's set a precedent ... let's define the boundaries of the executive branch, before the new administration take seat.
Look at the issues ... look at the platforms ... Hillary and Obama are basically on the same page when it comes to policies ... light-years away from the Bush/McCain teams. That is why the Democratic debates started to become so boring, well, not to me ... LOL, but ... they mostly all believed the same things about how to fix America!!! Kucinich was a lot in the lead, in my opinion, but I noticed, as I watched every debate ... ALL the others came along and gravitated to the main road, on a number of things ... universal health care, the economy strengthened by the quick development of alternative energy sources, rebuilding America first, along with the war issues. Hillary came the farthest, I thought, and there is nothing wrong, that I can see, with changing your mind and moving on, as new information becomes available. That is not 'flip-flopping' ... that is called growing!
Blow the smoke away, and let's let the world know that we are making a change ... united!!! Our constitution, and the Bill of Rights will actually stand for something, that all American's can hold on to, and which will in turn, inspire the planet to plot a new course.
The truth will matter again, and justice will start from the top down!!! We will walk our talk! One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!!! ... and in an environment, that we can be proud to pass on to our children, and theirs.
Let's show the world by our example, what a truly great, honest, and compassionate society we can be .... civilized folks who follow the rule of their own laws, as well as respecting all international laws.
Why not???
Do the world, and especially us, a favor ... please sign this impeachment petition

Thank you ... and may the Creator of ALL of us, and this planet we all call home, bless us all.

All I talk to, which is quite a few through blogs and forums, who supported Hillary, will support Obama, and the ones that won't are really probably republicans, or paid 'shrills' doing the old smoke and mirrors game.

ISSUE: Some in Congress want an impeachment.
The nation does have a few pressing issues pending that could use some attention from our federal lawmakers.
Let's see. There are a couple of wars going on, unemployment is on the rise as the value of a house continues to fall, millions of Americans have no health insurance, and did we mention that gas prices are expected to hit $5 a gallon? You get the idea. And still, some in Congress feel the nation is just itching for another presidential impeachment>>>>>
Here is my letter:
.... and those are just the reasons impeachment should go full steam ahead.
I fully support Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler. The time for accountability in our highest offices is now ... there is no better time than before a new administration takes over. The executive branch is bloated and out of control.
If a stain on a blue dress is worth impeachment, surely the thousands of our dead, who did not have to die, warrants justice. The billions ... maybe will be trillions ... spent in and on Iraq, while our own nation falls into disrepair ... when it didn't need to, is criminal!!!
That we attacked a foreign sovereign nation that did not attack us, and hundreds of thousands of theirs are dead, maimed, orphaned, or displaced, is outrageous to say nothing of coming up to the level of war crimes.
Accountability matters ... the truth matters, and there is no better time than now. If the rest of the world is ever to respect us again, or if even our own people are to again hold their heads high, this current administration needs to feel justice.
Sincerely, Victoria .... Beaumont, CA
-----Original Message-----
From: Congressman Robert Wexler
Dear Victoria,
Last Thursday the largest newspaper in my congressional district - the South Florida Sun-Sentinel - published an editorial lambasting my enthusiastic support for immediately holding impeachment hearings for President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Numerous letters to the editor have also criticized my support for this movement.
Below, you'll find the original Sun-Sentinel editorial, followed by my response, which was printed yesterday.
I assure you that I will not back down from this fight – no matter the consequences or political cost. The only thing that maters is that we deliver accountability for the Bush Cheney Administration and defend our government and our constitution.
If you would like to write a letter to the Sun Sentinel, you can email letters@sun-sentinel.com.
Thank you for your continued support.
Robert Wexler

Impeachment not worth another minute of anybody's time

ISSUE: Some in Congress want an impeachment.
The nation does have a few pressing issues pending that could use some attention from our federal lawmakers.
Let's see. There are a couple of wars going on, unemployment is on the rise as the value of a house continues to fall, millions of Americans have no health insurance, and did we mention that gas prices are expected to hit $5 a gallon? You get the idea. And still, some in Congress feel the nation is just itching for another presidential impeachment.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, who has made a career out of eye-rolling issues like these, said this week he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, who is smarter than this, supported the Articles of Impeachment, which won't go anywhere and thankfully have been buried in a committee not likely to hold hearings before Bush leaves office.
Last year, Kucinich led the misguided charge to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney, and Wexler supported that. In the case of Bush, Wexler called it a "sworn duty" of Congress to act.
Actually, it's nobody's sworn duty to take up any time to go after a badly battered president with only a few months left in office. This is a president so unpopular, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain won't make many public appearances with him. This is a president who is such a non-entity, peace activists didn't even
bother to protest his appearance in Berlin this week.
Nor should Congress bother with the ridiculous idea of impeachment, which Kucinich contends is warranted because Bush deceived the nation into war.
There's plenty of evidence to fuel Kucinich's ire, but not his choice of remedy. If Congress needs more things than impeachment to keep lawmakers busy, it has myriad options.
BOTTOM LINE: Get on with REAL issues.
Copyright (c) 2008, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
The Wexler Response:
The Sun-Sentinel recently ran an editorial criticizing my support for the articles of impeachment against President Bush opining that Congress should instead "get on with REAL issues" such as the Iraq war. In fact, it is this very war -- entered into following an unprecedented campaign of lies and manipulated intelligence by the Bush Administration -- that necessitates impeachment hearings. This war has cost us the lives of 4,090 US soldiers, injuries to over 30,000, and more than a trillion taxpayer dollars when it is all said and done.
It is a dark day when the Sun-Sentinel has the gall to tell the parents of the soldiers who have died in Iraq that pursuing
consequences for those that prosecuted this war of choice based on outright deception is not a "REAL" issue that Congress should address.
Sadly, the war is only the beginning. We now know that this Administration illegally ordered the torture of prisoners, obstructed justice by lying about the outing of a covert CIA agent and authorizing warrantless spying on American citizens.
No one can deny that if proven these allegations amount to High Crimes. Our failure to act sets an awful precedent and enables future Presidents to break the law and violate our Constitution without sanctions from Congress.
The Sentinel says impeachment is the wrong "remedy" for this litany of crimes. What then is the proper remedy? A harsh lecture? A strongly worded editorial? Or how about doing absolutely nothing in the face of these outrageous abuses of power?
Impeachment hearings need not distract us from other important priorities such as the economy, gas prices and bringing the troops home from Iraq. Congress can and should address all important issues - including safeguarding our constitutional rights and obligations.

Michael Moore too came out recently, and my feelings are basically the same. The truth does still matter, even if it is a Michael Moore telling it!
Focus on the issues ... issues, issues, issues .... that affect all of the American people, instead of one person's fat, or otherwise, ass! How immature, and selfish, of so many, it seems to me, to continue bashing individual personalities. So many on the public blogs are just tearing Michael up ... he is not running for president!!!
Obama has started, or became because of his supporters, a movement for change. There is no denying that, anymore. Hope for real change is spreading like a wildfire.
As a staunch Kucinich supporter for over 8 years ... I will again vote Democratic, regardless of who wins the primaries, and I think a lot of other folks are on the same page
... the media thinks we can not unite, well, that is the media's opinion.
This time, I think they will unite, with thinking 'real' Republicans, and most independents, to bring about a truly 'united' states of America. An America for Americans!
American needs totally fresh leadership to turn this monster ship around and put her on the right course. Obama, and his, growing movement answers that call.
The WolfHouse Times Don't let the 'for profit' media dictate what they want you to know, based on the selfish desires of their advertisers and owners to increase profits at all, or anybody's cost. Free speech is alive. and well, at PNN ... spread it around!
Best wishes to you and yours from me and mine ... why not?
Well, finally I have made a decision on which current Democratic candidate I will support, although I will in November vote for whoever is the final nominee.
