Impeach the Wimps

The news is out -- thanks to Democratic House Majority "Leader" Steny Hoyer, George W. Bush is going to get immunity for telecoms. Hoyer is giving Bush everything Bush wants. There are those who might call for Hoyer to be strung up by his balls, but it is now apparent that Hoyer lacks the balls to be strung up by.

***************************

The fact is, Hoyer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are a couple of wimps who should be impeached for selling out our privacy over some insipid, asinine fear that some right-wing nuts won't like them.

We have the worst, most corrupt, least American president ever. His poll numbers are lower than Richard Nixon's. Yet the disgusting duo of Pelosi & Hoyer have taken impeachment off the table, caved in on Iraq, and handed the idiot in the White House gifts befitting of tribute to a conquering king.

It's time to let Pelosi & Hoyer know how stupid, incompetent and thoroughly un-American and worthless they are. Not only should we write, but we must get our friends all over the country to do the same. The time has come to flood their offices with so many hate letters that they'll wish they were next to a levee in Iowa.

First, call Speaker Pelosi's office (202-225-0100) to ask her to pull the bill off the floor.
Then, write both of them:

Pelosi's district office address:
450 Golden Gate Ave.
14th floor
San Francisco, CA 94102

Hoyer's district office address:
U.S. District Courthouse
6500 Cherrywood Lane, Suite 310
Greenbelt, MD 20770

(Why write the district offices? Because letters to congressional offices in DC take forever to get through security -- we need to act now.)

It's time to be patriotic about something other than war.
