Neglect: Good reason to impeach

Message vin agamenone

There is plenty of unconscionable & despicable actions taken by this administration to warrant impeachment ( both Bush & Cheney). To those who think not, I would propose that impeachment be based on negligence. Not taking action may be just as harmful ( maybe more ) than taking wrong action.

It’s bad enough to start a war based on false information, to waste over $600 billion over 5 years, to kill over 5000 Americans & over 1 million others ( even murder ), to upset our allies & thus abate the admiration of America, but then , to deny proper equipment to conduct the war is negligence of duty.

The soldiers have not been given the proper protective vests nor blast resistant vehicles to adequately conduct this ignominious war.
In addition, consider that just a fraction of the cost could solve our educational crisis, building new schools, providing much needed textbooks & supplies, and most importantly, hire capable & qualified teachers at good wages.

This is a disgraceful neglect of our children.

Consider that just a fraction could solve our health-care crisis, building new hospitals & install modern equipment, providing medicines & nursing care, providing truly universal health care. It works great in Europe & Canada. This is a disgraceful neglect of our elderly, sick & disabled ( children too )
Consider that just a fraction could solve our environmental crisis, cleaning our air & water, removing toxic wastes, & funding alternative energy research & development. This is a disgraceful neglect of this great land we call “ America “.

Also, there is the neglect of our infrastructure, security at our ports of entry, scientific research of global warming, and much more …
This administration is guilty of the worst actions of fraud, deceit, perjury & subversion of the Constitution. Adding negligence of duty makes it imperative to impeach!
