Madam Speaker,
You have chosen to overlook the responsibilities that go with your office, and the obligations that go with your title. The constitution gave the House of Representatives the sole power to bring impeachment charges against any officer of the federal government-yet you have chosen to deny the people of the United States the right to bring impeachment charges against the highest officers of this government. You do not have the right to come between the people and their government.
The constitution also gave the power over the purse strings for the federal government to the congress; again-neither you nor the congress had the right to "give away that right" to the administrative branch of government; which you did when the congress (of which you were a part), granted The Decider his License-to-Kill, immediately after 911. "What must now be done IMMEDIATELY, is that congress must tear up that license and take back your powers to check the administration-which would bring control back over the wars, to the congress and to the people of the United States: which would put an end to the Dictatorship-of-the-Decider." This is the only way to begin to end this nightmare that has cost us over 500 billion dollars, and only god knows how many lives-so far!
You have said that you will not cut the funding for the war because that would mean the congress would "not be supporting the troops." That is a conceit meant to justify continuing with business as usual-and for the record that's a lie! If congress supported the troops they would remove The Decider and his failed cabinet for not only non-performance, but for incompetence as well as the tyranny under which he led this nation into both those wars in the first place. Nine-Eleven was a crime, not an act of war, and everything that flowed from that almost immediate decision by the Bandits has enabled virtually every crime that has come directly from that first mega-lie. Virtually all these events have contributed to the bankruptcy of the nation and the destabilization of the planet and this comes down to the failure of congress to check the colonial and dictatorial passions of the Gang-in-Power now.
It was the job of congress to protect this nation from internal enemies, as much as it was your responsibility to protect Americans from foreign powers and you failed by refusing to differentiate between the commission of a civil crime of greed and power from an outright international act of war. No discussions took place, no debates were held: The Decider told us what to think, and congress followed lock-step-in near unanimity. Now you're the Speaker-and if you do not act to bring about corrections for these crimes in which you participated-then there will be hell to pay!
For your information you should also re-review the record of exactly what has happened since 911. The election of 2000 was stolen, and between the inauguration and nine-eleven, The Decider had already begun to re-write all the agreements and compacts which the US had been a signatory to. This included everything from Global Warming to the Geneva Conventions. After that black September day you granted the presidency an open ended agreement for total and unlimited warfare, not on an enemy but upon an idea!
How did he manage the wars or the policies of the United States in the six years since he's been The Decider-in effect the CEO in charge of everything that could be called part of "the interests" of the United States? George W. Bush has failed repeatedly in each and every aspect of every single thing he has undertaken-again & again-yet congress has continued to go along and has yet to question anything that The Decider has done. No hearings, no serious investigations were ever held: Katrina, Abu Ghraib, the never-ending SECRECY, the paranoia, the spying by this government that now includes White House claims of privacy over the visitor's logs maintained by the Secret Service over those who visit the White House. The White House is the People's House, and those documents belong to the people of the United States-those records are not now and have never been the private property of any of our government's servants. The White House is ours the Decider is just a renter, passing through (1).
Look at what has happened to the world's most-super power. The Decider and his advisors took the most expensive armed force in history and systematically destroyed it. We lost a full third of our mechanized vehicles in the full speed rush (through a massive desert sand-storm) to topple Baghdad. And we continue to lose weaponry and vehicles to the hopelessly inept military policies of people who have no knowledge of anything military-because they each dodged their military responsibilities when their time came. In fact the only thing the administration's personnel have in common is that they all lie and attempt to avoid all responsibility for anything. The other massive costs associated with the wars have been the massive frauds created by Cheney and his companies in their bogus 'secret-no-bid contracts' with the government for everything from the delivery of mail, to food service and recreation. On the civilian side there was the re-construction of electrical facilities, drinkable water, sanitation, hospitals, schools, or even general security to allow protection of the conquered to leave their houses-none of which happened-hell it's no wonder we cannot win in this situation. These things didn't happened just here and there, it was policy that the contractor's couldn't be forced to produce in combat situations, yet they were to be paid anyhow. Had any of this been investigated at all-Cheney would in jail on charges of corruption, theft, war-profiteering and a huge list of other crimes
While Cheney wasn't alone in this theft of multi-billions, he is the highest ranking official who is visibly culpable, and criminally liable. Yet no one has even suggested that he could be questioned, much less charged with any crimes. And you say that impeachments are out-of-the-question: or "off the table" as you put it? Explain that to the American public!
One thing has become crystal clear from all of these crimes of greed and arrogance: No one who has a million dollars should be allowed to hold any government office in the United States of America. Of course this won't be allowed to become law, because the same people who would have to approve this are the same people who are the millionaires in question: most of them members of congress! But -in Central and South America, that is exactly the kind of grass-roots thing that has begun to take root. After a hundred years of invasions and colonial rule, the people there figured it out: the rich do NOT make good leaders because all they care about is more money and more power-purchased at the expense of the public they were supposed to represent against those foreign powers that routinely come to steal their countries and their lives. The primary offender therein is and was the USA.
This "thought-form" may not be possible at this time, but the idea will grow, and with it the time frame for leadership by the filthy-rich will continue to shrink. It's way past time for you and your fellow congressional people to get to work and begin to do what you were elected to do-which is to rid this country, and the world, of the Dictatorship that now owns everything we used to call our own!
One more thing Madame Speaker, please spare us all the embarrassment of everything that has to do with political parties because that is another failed fiction. Neither political party in the US allows freedom of speech or public gatherings that disagree with what the formal party gatherings want the world to see. There is no opposition coming from any elected group, because almost all politicians are owned by the same financial backers. That favorite theme of 'the Party Platform' has no teeth, and becomes obsolete the second 'the selection' is over. But the most outrageous thing about politics in America is that Americans are not allowed to hold political opinions that disagree with those currently in-charge: and it matters not at all which "party" is in office. The insult that adds to this injury comes when you introduce terms like "bi-partisanship" or that's "playing politics": for the record: Even the act of breathing is political!
The money that supports all of you-is the same money that sends our jobs offshore, cuts our retirement, slashed our social benefits, destroyed education, paved, drilled and polluted the environment into borderline conditions that now threaten the entire planet, and is murdering all life in the waters of the world. That money is the same money that supports the censorship of anything that is not in agreement about entertainment content, books, radio or television, that might attempt to throw any light on what's really going on. The media under the FCC must be reconfigured so that there is an actual public guardian involved in keeping the airwaves of America open to more than one thought or one opinion, especially "during a time of war." 'Everybody Knows' this is true-but until you and your people begin to do their jobs, this totally censored and nearly fascistic dictatorship will only get worse.
One footnote: The flaw in the ointment of Absolute Power-ruling absolutely is that all people will be affected by the results of the global designs of the New World Order-because these criminal policies will decimate the filthy rich as well. It's happened hundreds of times in history when the rich thought they could control everything only to be killed by their own house servants, or destroyed by the complete collapse of the economies they destroyed because, in their lust for power, they killed off too many of the talented people who kept things working.
Listening to your public pronouncements is painful because in many ways you are so clueless. The handwriting is on every wall in blood, yet you proceed as though this was Norman Rockwell's 1957 instead of The Decider's 2007. The Decider has had hundreds of chances to 'get-it-right' in Iraq but all he has succeeded in doing is to have wrung the worst possible outcome from every opportunity that he's been given: having produced in that process the very things he said we were going to war to prevent! If this were a company and he was CEO-you'd be a major member of the Board of Directors. Name one company that has ever existed in which a total failure was allowed to stay in office after six full years of total and utter FAILURE! That's six years of near total monetary collapse, (the largest public debt ever in history) a country that outsources all its best jobs while entering into contracts to destroys what remains of its own work force, and at the same time tries to drive away the few people who manage to survive that onslaughts created to steal whatever might be possibly be left to steal.
This same fictitious company has completely perverted the so-called 'justice' system along with the courts, not to mention the completely sold-out congress of the United States. Congress approved each and every criminal now in office: ironically the criminals probably outnumber the non-criminals, in the upper levels of this administration-yet no questions are ever asked.
You have a huge job to do Nancy and half-measures won't make the grade. So far you've been too cute by half, and not nearly tough enough to matter to anyone very much. You want to go down in history-then be prepared to get dirty and lose a few of those overly involved and financially interested "advisors" that brought you to this point. This is not a corporation, this is a flesh and blood nation on the edge of real and lasting anger over what has happened to this country. Changes are needed, and you're the Woman-of-the-Hour. The public has been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for The Decider to decide to decide what to do. Pre-empt him, tear up his License to-Kill, cut off all his supplemental spending, charge his Vice President with the crimes he's involved in, and since his incompetent commanders will not have the money: the troops will have to come home. That would be how this government should "Support the Troops"! Do it now because we've all waited overlong to end this nightmare NOW!
