WRITE TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN.

Don’t just sit on your hands and stomach this flagrant abuse of power.

To help ya out, here's a handy link: http://www.house.gov/writerep/

A few more ways you can make a difference.

Or so I'd like to think. I mean, I still believe the US is something akin to a federal constitutional republic, despite this administration's efforts to the contrary.

Tho the "constitutional" bit is a bit of a misnomer as of late.

Don't just email your Congressman. Email your House Judiciary Committee and ask them to start hearings on H.Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment for Vice President Cheney.

It is my opinion that the bulk of the Democratic party's response to this has been weak and pitiful. OUR REPRESENTATIVES NEED TO GROW SOME BALLS AND REPRESENT THEIR PEOPLE, THE LAWS OF THIS LAND, AND THE FOUNDATION OF THIS GOVERNMENT. If our representatives won't stand up on their own, there is even more pressing need for US to speak. Show that you care, because SILENCE means that you are TACITLY CONSENTING.

HOLD YOUR FUCKING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, GOD DAMN IT. THIS IS YOUR FUCKING COUNTRY. ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE THIS LYING DOWN?
