Wiretapping: Impeachment not Immunity
I am appalled that House "Majority" Leader Steny Hoyer has cut a deal with George Bush to legalize Bush's warrantless wiretapping and grant immunity to the telephone companies that have engaged in massive illegal wiretapping for the past 7 years.
We now know Bush enlisted the telephone companies to engage in illegal warrantless wiretapping in Feburary 2001 - shortly after he stole the White House and long before the 9/11 attack that supposedly justified this and many other criminal actions by the Bush Administration.
I am disgusted that Rep. Hoyer has put campaign contributions from AT&T, Verizon, and BellSouth ahead of my Constitutional right to be free from government spying.
I call on my Senators to demonstrate your respect for my Constitutional rights by putting this horrendous and unconstitutional bill on hold - permanently. And I call on you to use your power of "inherent contempt" to arrest those White House officials who failed to deliver the many documents and witnesses demanded by Senator Leahy and the Judiciary Committee in their investigation of Bush's illegal wiretapping.
I also call on my Representative to co-sponsor Articles of Impeachment for George Bush (H. Res. 1258) and Dick Cheney (H. Res. 799) for their illegal wiretapping, as well as torture, Iraq War lies, outing Valerie Plame, and other High Crimes - the most heinous Presidential crimes in American history.
