More and more, we're agreed - this country is going to hell in a hand basket. Since we aren't there yet, I feel the good fight is still worth fighting.

I was encouraged Monday night when, while channel hopping, I found Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) on C-Span, reading his formidable Articles of Impeachment (...all thirty-five of them!..) against George W. Bush. I settled in and watched his workmanlike delivery of painstakingly gathered facts more intently than football fans watch the Super-Bowl, and I was genuinely uplifted to know there is at least one American hero left on the hill. For his hard work, indomitable spirit and unquestionable courage, we greatly owe Dennis Kucinich. At every opportunity, I hope you'll join me in sharing with him your sincere gratitude and stalwart support.

Now, no matter how much we sound off in our local newspapers, or how much we lean on our own representatives to join Kucinich, (and we should already have been doing both by now), I'm afraid the priceless seeds Dennis planted might quietly wither because we haven't yet gotten rid of certain congressional poisons.

Nancy Pelosi for instance, is an outrageous congressional poison. Whether she's criminally collusive or just unfathomably ignorant, her disregards for democracy, the American people and the U.S. Constitution were laid bare the moment she took impeachment "off the table." She's obstructed justice long enough, and should not only be removed, but also indicted, tried and very possibly jailed alongside the Bush administration!

A few days ago, I learned of and signed Scott Creighton's online petition demanding the removal of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, to replace her with someone who WILL pursue the constitutionally required impeachment and lawful removal of the Bush / Cheney administration. What's more, I'm enthusiastically urging you to do the same.
