Tell Nancy Pelosi Impeachment Is Good for Democrats
Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi has instructed the Democratic Caucus and promised the corporate media that the Democrats will not impeach Bush and Cheney even if they win a majority in Congress. Of course, such timidity is the most likely way for the Democrats to not win a majority in Congress. While 90% of Democrats and 81% of Independents disapprove of Bush in the latest Harris poll, only 67% of Republicans approve of him. Every poll done on impeachment http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/polling shows very strong support among Democrats and weak opposition among Republicans. Moreover, an off-year election is won by inspiring your "base" to turn out in higher numbers, and nothing inspires Democratic voters like impeachment.

To Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
May 14, 2006
I just read an article in the San Francisco Chronicle in which they reported: “Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco has told her caucus that the idea of impeaching President Bush isn't in the cards if the party takes over the House in November's elections.” And “Pelosi also restated her opposition to the idea of censuring Bush over his decision to invade Iraq in March 2003.” To this I add, America is dying a slow painful death due to Bush, Cheney, et al and it is incumbent upon the very survival of this republic that all of these criminals be removed from power immediately. I am astonished that you would not lead in calling for their removal from office and with that said, we need new fearless Democrats leading our congressional caucus if we are to save this country. In my opinion, I can think of two men who have shown such leadership and they are Congressman John Conyers or Congressman John Murtha. Both of these patriotic congress members have exhibited the wear-with-all to stand up to these despots.
I would like to ask you, Rep. Pelosi, just what are you thinking when you make such statements? You are not showing leadership but collusion. When your spokesman Brendan Daly stated: “We want oversight and checks and balances,'' He is joking, right? Without fearless leadership going into these mid-term elections where our message is that Bush, Cheney, et al must be impeached to save this republic there will be no checks and balances and we will not retake the house. America is at a critical mass right now and it is incumbent upon our party to save her from blowing apart in a nuclear meltdown.
While your spokesman stated that it is not your interest, it is the interest of many Democrats like me that these criminals are taken out of power before they do more damage. Impeachment is the driving force behind many to make sure that we take back both the house and the senate.
There is an old saying: “If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem” and by your alarming remarks, it proves that you are indeed part of the problem. By your sentiments expressed in that article, it is time that you step aside as minority leader since you are failing to lead this party, this country and where you would want leading this country a man that has committed many acts of treason. If you think I am the only one that feels this way, I can assure you that I am not.
In closing, I am faxing you pictures of soldiers whose faces have been blown off and pictures of dead and injured Iraqi children and you tell me if Bush and Cheney who are despots and dictators deserve to stay in power.
