Gentleman,<\/p>\n

Thank you for doing what you think is right. I read your website and understand
\nyour objectives. I’m not a liberal Democrat. Rather a very conservative
\nRepublican. However, I cannot sit back and watch what G. Bush and his staff are
\ndoing to the present and future of this nation. I’m a Son of the Revolution and an
\n11th generation citizen of the United States. At no time in our history has a
\nPresident acted in a way that is directly inconsistent with the American peoples
\nwill. Please succeed in your efforts to remove this man and make a tarnished
\nmemorial to his legacy forever.<\/p>\n

If you would like additional talking points then why not bring up the fact that the
\nBush Administration has allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to work as licensed
\nbusinesses in all 50 states(this is strictly illegal). Examples of these licensed
\nbusinesses range from real estate brokers to attorneys. Isn’t he supposed to
\nprotect and enforce our borders? The States don’t seem to realize that their own
\nprofessional regulatory bodies don’t cross check business license owners with Dept.
\nof Homeland Security databases for legal residency\/work permit authorization. These
\nare not lettuce picking jobs gentleman. They are very high paying jobs.<\/p>\n

I hope you succeed. I have a cousin in Iraq currently. We speak on the satellite
\nphone and write emails weekly. Hopefully, he will return soon and in good health.
\nBest wishes fellas.<\/p>\n

Mr. Montgomery,<\/p>\n

Thank you for your letter. We have posted it on our news scroll.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately impeachment will not happen unless more Republicans such as yourself who put the future health of our nation ahead of party loyalty convince their Republican leaders to join in the efforts to hold Bush, et al accountable through the process of impeachment hearings.<\/p>\n

The Democrats nationally seem very content to let Bush staying in office continue to taint the GOP reputation through the next election cycle – which is akin to Nixon dragging out the Vietnam War to time the end with an election cycle.<\/p>\n

What kind of people play these kind of games with the lives of other people’s children.<\/p>\n

Anyway, thank you again.<\/p>\n

We have chapters in eleven states, but not yet Illinois. We would be honored to have you initiate a chapter. We feel that holding Democrats accountable is just as critical to our nation’s future as holding Republicans responsible.<\/p>\n

Are you interested?<\/p>\n
