Did you know I support impeachment?

After Downing Street is an excellent source of information, inspiration, and (dare I say it?) hope.
This is what our representatives/candidates need to hear:

Open Letter to the National Democratic Leadership

The 2008 elections are the distraction, not impeachment.

Impeachment is not a distraction for our military that sees our once invincible force being destroyed. Impeachment is not a distraction for the families of the 380,000 soldiers and private mercenaries that are occupying Iraq. Impeachment is not a distraction for the families of the 6,000 who have died in Iraq, American and coalition forces and mercenaries. Nobody asks anymore of the many who have died in Afghanistan. Impeachment is not a distraction for the families of the nearly 1,000,000 dead in the Middle East because of this administration. Impeachment is not a distraction for the 100s of millions of people that
this administration is threatening with aggressive war.

Impeachment is not a distraction for the millions whose votes were not counted or who were kept from voting in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Impeachment is not a distraction for those whose great grandchildren will be indebted by the money stolen by this administration.

They can jail us without trial and torture us without prohibition. They can convict and execute us on secret evidence at sham trials. I will never forget this Congress that after we have given them the power to stand up and defend us against the tyranny of this administration is too distracted to do so.

Why should I think of 2008 when you will then tell me to think of 2010? You will never be forgotten for your failure of 2007.
