The People's Referendum

Millions of Americans going to the polls will be voting on local ballot measures calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush for lying to Congress about the necessity of war against Iraq, his illegal domestic spying, and international war crimes. If Americans vote for these measures, nervous Democratic politicians cannot ignore the clear voice of the people demanding an investigation and a vote on articles. My own Representative, David Wu (D-OR) voted for investigation of the Decider's malfeasance in office, yet tells the local paper that impeachment is "not a sound use of the nation's time and energy..to look backward" What an absolute cop out.
The biggest single problem with our federal government is the lack of accountability for messing up. The Texas Frat Boy is without doubt the worst President in our history and he now has the power of a king in the form of The Military Commissions Act of 2006. Thank you Congress for sending us back to 1215 before Magna Carta. Perhaps David Wu thinks 2800 dead Americans and 600,000 dead Iraqis was also a waste of the 'nation's energy' too. Too bad he is not willing to hold the perpetrator accountable.
