This is what I said in my email to Nanci Pelosi...


Dear Congresswoman Pelosi:

History is watching you and your colleagues in the United States House of Representatives. You are now faced with the challenge of deciding upon the right course of action - for the voters of this counrry, for the country itself, and for the future generations who will be impacted by the decisions you make today.

What is it that makes us a nation? Is it our shared landmass? Is it our shared culture? Is it the accumulation of experiences that makes up our history? The answer, of course, is that it is none of these things. Because each of these things is fundamentally subjective. We each experience these things in different ways, and we respond to them in different ways.

It is our founding documents that make us a nation, and nothing else. Our Bill of Rights and our Constitution are what make us a nation, and without these things, we are just a bunch of people sharing a landmass with ever shifting boundaries, but no national identity.

You have sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. This is your first duty. This duty supercedes every other consideration that you bring to your role as a member of the Congress of the United States. If you do not uphold this duty, your role as a member of Congress becomes completely irrelevant to this nation, and if you, by inaction or by wrong action, become complicit in undermining the United States Constitution, your role as a member of Congress becomes subversive, and a perversion of the trust that is placed in you by the voters of this country.

History is watching you. Do you want to be remembered by history and by future generations as the person who, through inaction or wrong action, and for the sole purpose of protecting your access to power, did not fulfill your oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? Because if, though not holding accountable those in the Bush administration who are working very hard to destroy our Constitution, you do not fulfill your oath, you will be just as responsible as they for its destruction, and history and future generations will remember you for that. And only for that one thing. That will be your permanent legacy, and nothing you can ever do will erase or mitigate that legacy.

I call upon you to take the leadership role in pressing for an investigation into the question of impeachment for Vice President Cheney and President Bush. It is time. History is watching you.
