ImpeachForPeace.org Minneapolis advocates for impeachment with Congressmen John Conyers and Keith Ellison at a Health Care Town Hall Meeting.
Health care is important, but living in a democracy is even more important. John Conyers, who — as head of the House Judiciary has the power to initiate it — knows what’s at stake, but he’s more concerned with making sure that Democrats win in ’08 than holding the Administration accountable (never mind that all historical attempts at impeachment have benefitted the party pursuing them). Any push by Democratic leadership to pass a single-payer universal health-care resolution prior to removing Bush from office is nothing than a dog and pony show designed to win elections, not pass good legislation. Bush’s veto of such legislation is obvious. What Conyers and other representatives fail to see is the historical precedent. Every push for impeachment throughout history has aided the party which pursued it. So, even if their moral compass can’t prioritize our democracy above their political careers, this fact should cause their support of impeachment. Let’s help inform them!
