Please tell us. If not impeachment, what is the plan?


On behalf of ImpeachforPeace.org and millions of Americans who have signed impeachment petitions,


Mikael Rudolph

and in conclusion:


There are nearly as many excuses being given as to why not to impeach as there are impeachable offenses - and that is saying a lot. We would rather consider the benefits of initiating impeachment hearings instead.


If impeachment proceedings begin, of course the usual Hannity/Limbaugh rabble will squawk, but we will rise above that. Since when do we allow their lies to dictate our choices?


The initiative and character shown by pursuing the truth no matter what the consequences will gain those of you who lead us there new respect, new followers and new voters.


Don't listen to me. Don't listen to us of ImpeachforPeace. Listen to the likes of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who had the great wisdom to foresee this exact threat of a return to tyranny and mentioned the remedy of impeachment five seperate times in the Constitution.


Now only one business is mentioned in the Constitution - just one is protected. The Fourth Estate, the press. Unfortunately they have abdicated their high calling and failed us miserably.


In signing H. Res. 333, Rep. Ellison made a public statement that there was sufficient evidence to warrant a public, political investigation into whether the Vice President, the second highest officer in the land was guilty of bribery, treason or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The Minneapolis Star Tribune buried that story on the 16th page. Just like with the investigations in Congress today, nobody noticed.


If, however, impeachment hearings begin for either Cheney, Bush or both, every newspaper, television, radio and internet news source in the nation will be forced to cover, in depth, every single piece of evidence and testimony exposed every day of every week for every month until their conclusions.


It doesn't matter one iota what the final vote in the House is, much less whether it gets to the Senate or leads to removal from office.


The antiseptic light of truth about the multiple impeachable offenses we all know of will finally break through the digitally lobotomized frontal lobe of the entire nation. Bubba in East Texas and Gertrude in Denver will finally know what we know. The approval rating of a Congress that would be perceived to have at last stood up for justice would soar. This horrible precedent would not be allowed to stand and the Rovian divisiveness of the last seven years would be replaced by the unity that can only come together around the truth.


It is a leap of faith. It requires courage, integrity and trust in the American people's ability to discern the truth once they finally are availed of it.


We will not fail. You will not fail. It will be your enduring legacy and an inspiration for our sons and daughters in succeeding generations.


I would like to conclude with a quote:
