"
At 10 a.m. Friday, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, will rap his gavel to begin what could be one of the most critical hearings in the history of our country. The impeachment of President George W. Bush is back on the table!
I have heard others give reasons for not holding impeachment hearings. "It's too late in the presidency. Impeachment is too much of a distraction and would take up too much valuable time in Congress."
What more important business could Congress carry out than to restore our Constitution, which the president has shredded over the past seven and a half years? What more important business could there be than to re-establish a rule of law rather than the dictatorial leadership that Bush has co-opted as his birthright?
As a proud member of Veterans for Peace as well as of the National Impeachment Network, I call on all Americans who wish to uphold our Constitution to do their duty as citizens. We must not only hold the current administration accountable for the crimes that have been committed, but we must prevent future administrations from abusing power.
Call your representative in Washington and call all of the members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to sign on to articles of impeachment against King George the tyrant!
Louise Legun

First of all, let me firmly state that due to the overwhelming evidence, and the case laid out by Vincent Bugliosi in the book "The Prosecution of George. W. Bush for Murder," I believe that Bush should be charged and handed a fair conviction for murder. Now let's get some things straight with the Legun letter.
The second sentence of the second paragraph notes one of my main objections to impeachment, notably, it is too late in his term to levy impeachment. For instance, all impeachment does is remove the official from office, it is not a criminal conviction like I am led to believe Legun thinks in this letter. If Bush was to be impeached today, the process would be notably long, and Bush wuld still be in office until the decision of if he should be kicked out of office or not came back. And the process would probably be particularly long, with many Republicans stallling the process.
Legun notes that there is not more important issue for the Congress to conduct at this time. Well, frankly, we are in a sub-prime mortgage crisis, gas prices are through the roof, and the never ended problems or the poor, drugs and prostitution are still rampant. Are you sure there is nothing more important than kicking push out of office and replacing him with the Vice President? I mean, Dck Cheney does not seem like a good person to replace Bush with, and in fact would probably be just as bad.
When Legun notes " what more important business could there be than to re-establish a rule of law rather than the dictatorial leadership that Bush has co-opted as his birthright?" he is mostly right. The need to bring Bush to justice is extraordinary, and should be done as soon as Bush leaves office. Bugliosi in his aforementioned books notes that any District Attorney who represents a district where a United States soldier who died lived in can prosecute Bush for murder, as could the State Attorney General. This is not a matter of if Bush should be prosecuted, it is a matter of how and when. Bush could only be kicked out of office with impeachment, but he could be convicted and put on Death Row if prosecuted by a federal, state, or district court. Why waste time with impeachment, if his time in office is so short (179 days)?
We should hold all the members involved with the lies and deceit leading to the Iraq Slaughter accountable. As soon as each and everyone leaves office, they should be handcuffed, thrown in prison, and charged with the murder of 4124 soldiers in Iraq.
