In 1990, an unknown candidate named rode a wave of popular support to become the president of Peru. He fought an all-out war on terror against the guerilla organization Shining Path, and won. Ten years later, accused of kidnapping, murder and corruption, he fled Peru to Japan, where he was in exile for four years, until this week when he was given a 6 year jail term for abusing power.

If Peru can take action against its President for breaking the law, then why can’t the United States of America, the professed beacon of justice and liberty do the same?

Can any rationally thinking person deny that George Bush and Dick Cheney have abused the power given to them by the Constitution and the American People.

What law does Bush or Cheney have to break in order for Congress to stop the rhetoric and begin impeachment proceedings or at the very least, initiate investigations?

Maybe if the President and Vice President used steroids then they could be investigated along with today’s top athletes which Congress seems so eager to put in the spotlight.

What is Congress afraid of? Why are so many Americans shaking their heads in disbelief as they watch Bush and Cheney wipes their asses with the Constitution of the United States?

"Impeachment is not optional. It’s not something that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid can say is not on the table," Cindy Sheehan, who lost her soldier son in Iraq, said at a recent rally, "It is their duty as officers of the Constitution, who have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, to carry out impeachment."

 Public opinion is also growing more comfortable with the idea of impeaching this president. A Zogby International poll conducted this summer found that 42 percent of Americans felt that impeaching Bush would be justified if it was shown that he had manipulated intelligence in going to war in Iraq.

By November, the number of those who favored impeaching Bush stood at 53 percent and these polls were taken before the revelations of Bush’s domestic spying.

Former Nixon White House counsel John Dean stated, "I think the case is overwhelming that these people presented false information to the Congress and to the American people." Bush’s actions were actually far worse than Watergate, Dean contends, because "no one died for Nixon’s so-called Watergate abuses."

p.s. a shoutout to John Nirenberg as he walks from Boston to Washington,D.C. to confront Nancy Pelosi with a petition to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney. Bravo, John!
