One of the groups I get e-mail from urged me to mail my Washington state congressman demanding the impeachment of Cheney. They had their own letter they wanted me to sign, but of course I edited it to the point where there is only a line or two of the original letter left. Here's mine.
Rep. Rick Larsen:
I have been demanding impeachment since Bush lied us into war, but you and your colleagues have been too gutless and too contemptuous of the Constitution to do anything about it.
But if you don't have guts enough to go after President Bush, at least work up the courage to go after his puppetmaster, Vice President Dick Cheney.
There are numerous things he could be impeached for, but let's start with the testimony from the Scooter Libby trial which has made it clear that Libby did not act on his own in "outing" Valerie Plame, but acted on the orders of his boss, Cheney.
Since disclosing a CIA agent's identity -- or directing others to do so -- is a crime of treason, Vice President Cheney must be impeached and removed from office immediately.
Get some backbone and join your colleagues in co-sponsoring H.Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment Against Dick Cheney.
Sincerely...
CCs went to my senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell
It won't do any good, of course, but what the hell, you have to try.
