That's right. Impeachment, plain and simple.
The future of the country is much more dependent on the impeachment of Bush and Cheney than it is on whoever Edwards endorses as Democratic nominee. Change is needed, but given the current choices, we all known the election will only bring about cosmetic change. That is, unless impeachment happens first.
Today, John Conyers, House Judicial Committee chair, says he is finally willing to consider launching impeachment hearings against Cheney. Being a party Democrat, he wants to hear the political arguments first: he knows the legal grounds very well. Let's not pass up this opportunity!! Millions of people around the world are counting on us.
Without impeachment, the hideous crimes of the Bush administration will be glossed over and their victims will continue to suffer. Their unprecedented seizures of executive power will be made permanent, the corruption of the Justice Department will continue, and the lies they continue to tell will never be understood as such by every single American. No future president, regardless of party, will have the power to do what impeachment can do.
