Accountability in government (impeachment)By Shirley GolubCandidate for United States Representative; District 8; Democratic Party |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
We must hold the White House accountable NOW, not let their conduct in defiance of the Constitution become a low bar standard for the future.Our House of Representatives was given the right (and obligation) in our Constitution created by our Founding Fathers to investigate and take action when improprieties have been brought to its attention. Whole books have been written on the actions of the current administration and George Bush has admitted in public that he has acted in ways inconsistent with his duties to uphold our Constitution. So Congress must act and do so expediently. To answer the question of "why bother?" - First, the world is watching what we the people do here. We no longer have allies in the world community and if we continue to be sheep we will no longer be welcome as meaningful participants. Second, if we allow lawlessness of our supposed elected officials, what kind of precedent does that set for future administrations? Even this past year, Blackwater and Halliburton have been constructing 200 "detention centers" here on American soil for the "growing domestic insurgency." And just recently, the FBI has granted permission for small businesses with security guards, under martial law, to be able to shoot at American citizens (google "infragard"). What next? - this madness must be stopped. |
