My letter to the editor re: Dennis Kucinich and impeachment

[Th1onein]

Dear Editor:

On Tuesday, April 24th, Congressman Dennis Kucinich
(D-Ohio) introduced Articles of Impeachment against
Vice President Dick Cheney.

Americans across the country should be breathing a
sigh of relief. Finally, someone had the guts to say
what many Americans have been thinking for the past
six years: this administration is corrupt.

Is there one thing that they have touched that they
haven’t screwed up? Let me count the scandals for
you:

1. Lobbying scandal involving Jack Abramoff
2. Halliburton’s no-bid contracts and overcharges
3. Diversion of Afghanistan war funds to Iraq
4. Medicare scandal
5. The outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame
6. Abu Ghraib prison torture
7. Katrina
8. Warrantless spying on the American people
9. Prosecutors scandal
10. Politicizing government agencies (Hatch Act)
11. Walter Reed/VA scandal

This list, unfortunately, is not complete. Nor does
it include the biggest scandal of all: the lies we
were told to get us into a pre-emptive war with Iraq
and the botched manner in which this war has been
conducted. And, remember, these scandals are just the
“tip of the iceberg.” Now that the Democrats have
regained control over the Congress, I am sure that
more will be uncovered.

Thank God for people like Dennis Kucinich, who are not
afraid to say what the American people have been
thinking; who give voice to the best interests of this
great nation: Enough is enough. Get these
incompetent, arrogant, lying, cheating scoundrels out
of our government. Impeach.

5. I sent it to the Valley Morning Star in the Rio Grande Valley

I'd like to send it to other papers, but I'm not sure that's kosher. Is it? To send the same letter to different papers? Don't newspapers frown on that?

You know, they say that all politics is local. And, when it comes to these small papers, they get so few LTTE that one is almost assured, if the letter is written well, to get published. And there are thousands and thousands of small newspapers across this country. I wish someone would get together an LTTE "team" and start hitting these papers with letters of this kind.

6. I'm rather surprised and disappointed...

...that Dennis hasn't gotten more support among his party members.

For years, everyone seems to have been in agreement that yes, it would be a very good idea to bell the cat, but nobody wanted actually DO anything about it. :eyes:

Finally Dennis Kucinich steps up and says "Here, give ME the damn bell. I'll do it."
:patriot::applause:
I don't care if he IS running for President;
he still deserves the full support of his entire party on this.
