I get a lot of e-mails from progressive groups -- e.g. ActForChange.com, MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, etc. -- wanting me to sign petitions for various progressive causes, to write or call my congressmen, make donations, and so on.
I used to do much of what they asked. But no longer.
With the White House and the neocons running rings around the Democrats now theoretically in charge in Congress, it's clear that nothing serious will be done until they do the one thing that is essential -- impeach Bush and Cheney.
And if the progressive groups, and the Democrats don't recognize that soon, we will not only be fighting a war in Iraq forever, but we will soon be in an utterly disastrous war with Iran.
Impeachment is no longer just a matter of bringing Bush and Cheney to account for their crimes, it is essential for our survival as a democracy.
Note to progressive groups: Don't bother to contact me until you're serious about impeachment.
