RFK on IMPEACHMENT
"Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice."

Robert F. Kennedy

7. I just sent this quote along with a brief request to all my representatives
I know they have their minds set on condoning this behavior but I had to try. I say condoning because they are the ones the would make the president answerable yet they stand by and let it continue. If their plan is to let them leave office and then try them, to avoid mass pardons, I will forgive them and I will gladly apologize.

19. We've been paying the price since 911, and it will only get worse.
MUCH worse.

:(

The rest of the world has lost all respect for us, for harboring such a set of criminals!

13. ... When We Suffer From Impeachophobia ...
We are the "new bushies."

Reject their "too busy" excuses. Just keep talking impeachment.

Especially to those who don't want to listen.

Impeachment remains our ONLY moral, patriotic option.

14. When we tolerate a president that we know to have broken the law, then, by default,
we're placing them in the same esteem level as we hold great presidents who have served this country, not corporate greed machines.

17. An ode to the Congress
To whom carry the conscience of the people's will being fairly voted in office by majority we do hold thee accountable to carry out what is right in the eyes of our law, being that our law is just and good and fitting, as we count ourselves to be good and just, it must be in the ability of congress to carry out the the will of the people for which the Constitution gives them a sturdy foundation upon to stand on, ah shit I gotta go.
