Vice President Cheney surfing the waves of government secrecy once again

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT A LAW DEFYING, POWER GRABBING VICE PRESIDENT OUT OF CONTROL?
The descriptions are not ours. In the face of new revelations of the wholesale dismissal of the Constitution by the Vice President Cheney, "Power Grab" was the headline on the ABC News site. "Defiant" was the headline of the Washington Post. By now you could not have escaped hearing all the stories of the assertion by the vice president's office that he is a branch of government unto himself, and not beholden to any other. And if you have not read the stories, they are all linked in the "Arguments" section of this action page, where you can also cast your vote on whether Cheney should be impeached immediately.

And if the situation were not extreme enough, it was also reported this week that Cheney is aggressively campaigning for Bush to pardon Scooter Libby, which is an act of obstruction of justice on its face, according to John Dean, who should know a little something about impeachment. Whether or not Bush has the Constitutional power to grant pardons without cause, it is still an abuse power for him to do so, and a Constitutional high CRIME for Cheney to campaign for him to do so.
So now . . . NOW will you vote in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll, just as more than 72,000 of your fellow democracy-loving citizens already have? Would you be surprised to learn that 99.22 percent of those votes were Yes to impeach? Speaking on the Keith Olberman show tonight, Dana Milbank described the Vice President as a man "showing no restraint", and still . . . STILL Milbank could not bring himself to say the word "impeachment". Does he have a speech impediment? Do WE the people have a speech impediment?
DO YOU THINK CHENEY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED OR NOT?
Now is the time to speak out. Maybe you think that the Vice President is doing a great job and that Scooter Libby deserves a medal of freedom for outing Valerie Plame, thereby trashing our best source of REAL intelligence on WMDs in the Middle East. If so, then vote No, please vote No and take responsibility, and tell us you like having our Constitution ripped into little shreds.
By if you are as stunned as everyone else in the country about the increasingly brutal way that Cheney is abusing the power he has already grabbed, from the time he appointed HIMSELF as Bush's running mate, then please vote Yes to impeach. If you are as outraged as everyone else about a rogue executive operating as an imperial outlaw unto himself, please vote Yes to impeach.

It's OK in the personal message you send to Congress from the action page above to include a laundry list of all the other executive branch rogues who you think should be impeached at the same time, including Bush himself. But the Cheney situation is already long past the tipping point. His impeachment will lead DIRECTLY to the exposure of all the others and their removal as well.
Congress will NOT defy the voices of millions of us speaking out. That's what it will take. We have over 72,000 votes already, and we have only just begun to scratch the surface of the anger about what Cheney and his gang have done to our great country, sucking us into a ruinous, wrong-headed war on phony evidence they cooked themselves, criminal illegal wiretaps, torture as official U.S. policy, while they sell out our economy to foreign oil interests and crony war profiteers.
Our democracy can be saved, but ONLY if you speak out now.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
