THE QUESTION
Every citizen must demand - from every candidate for office, from every Congressional Representative and Senator now in office an answer to the question:
What have you done to fulfill your Oath of Office, to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, in the face of the many credible allegations of impeachable offence leveled against George W. Bush and Richard Cheney?
How can you, standing for office, ask anyone to vote for you in the face of your failure to demand hearings and investigations? How can you ask us to believe, that once elected, you will honor the oath you have, so far, failed to honor?
And, from every journalist, newscaster, interviewer and media pundit –
How, as journalists, can you justify your failure to demand an answer to this question?
We hear a great deal of campaign rhetoric about “change” – the need to take the country in a “new direction”. Many references are made to the misdeeds of the Bush administration and its failed policies.
Why do we hear nothing as an expression of the oath of office taken by the Senators to “defend the Constitution” calling for immediate hearings and investigations into the many credible allegations of impeachable offense and Constitutional violation leveled against the President and Vice President?
Do the candidates hope to inherit the illegally expanded powers of the Presidency asserted by Bush and Cheney?
The impeachable offences alleged against Bush/Cheney are more serious than those brought against Richard Nixon, and certainly of more consequence than those brought against Bill Clinton.
Remember Barbara Jordan –
“My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution.”
When the President do over-reach, the Constitution say you must impeach!
