TO THE EDITOR
fense to bomb, invade, occupy, torture and
kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens
for made-up, fictional and false acts that
Iraqis didn’t do.
When sufficient numbers of congressional
Republicans and Democrats stop playing the
keyboard of corruption, graft and warmonger-
ing, then we will be able to impeach Bush and
Cheney. If Congress refuses to act to impeach,
the congressional leadership is guilty of acces-
sory to all of the heinous crimes the Bushies
have committed and will commit. Then all de-
cent U.S. citizens must demand that the lead-
ers of Congress be removed so that the sadness
of Iraq can finally end with true free elections:
no USA ballot stuffing, no U.S. military bases,
no CIA meddling in Iraq’s sovereignty and no
U.S. control of Iraq’s oil.
Do it right so we can stop the fight. I also
agree with everything Free said in his (7/7)
letter. Think how much better the U.S. would
be if we were the land of the Free instead of
the home of the unbrave war/environmental
criminal Bush.

IMPEACH NOW
We are suffering under the most corrupt,
secretive, and anti-labor U.S. administration
that I have ever witnessed. They continue to
defend their actions by means of attacking
others, questioning patriotism or morals, or
assassinating one’s character.
Finally, their arrogant aggression is catch-
ing up with them, and some of the terrible
acts they diverted attention away from are
coming into the light of day. Every piece of
legislation that this administration has
pushed through has served their campaign
financiers and harmed the typical working
person.
The Iraq War benefits Halliburton and se-
lect contractors. The
Medicare Bill, for
which the vote was
stalled until they
bullied enough leg-
islators to vote for it,
benefited
the
pharma-ceutical
companies who al-
ready boast high
profits.
The
Overtime
Bill
served to pay back many corporations, such as
Wal-Mart, for their support and increases their
ability to take advantage of workers. The
bankruptcy legislation rewarded the credit and
financial corporations who prey upon lower-
income working people when they are most
vulnerable, thus removing the potential of a
second chance.
They pushed tort reform to thwart those
who have been harmed or suffered death from
receiving compensation that they might have to
rely upon if they are no longer capable of work-
ing or providing for their families, thus protect-
ing insurance companies and corporations.
Their Healthy Skies initiative allows man-
ufacturers to spew more environmental poi-
sons into our air. The Social Security proposal
would bring business to investment brokers
and financial institutions. This is the short list.
Had enough? Impeach now.
