In
instance after instance you have entertained and passed a steady stream of
un-American laws and Resolutions that are squarely aimed at undermining the
Constitutional provisions of the Bill of Rights and many of the Amendments
to the Constitution, which are matters of existing law.
You seemed to have done all this
because of something as nebulous as the Polling numbers, which the
president currently claims to have. Apparently you are unaware that this
president lies. You are not there to pay attention to the polls. You were
elected to the offices you hold to exercise your best judgment in dealing
with matters of state, of defense, and of the national welfare. You have
failed to do what you were elected to do.
Those failures have brought this
nation and the world, much closer to the brink of chaos than was
here-to-for ever thought possible. This has happened because - despite your
vast individual experience and your official reputations - you have allowed
your greed and fear to dictate and control your votes, on all issues that
have come before you.
The failures of George W. Bush
will cause history to cringe from the mention of his name - in coming days.
It is up to each of you, as to whether the Congress of the United States
will share the infamy that Bush is creating with his beyond-the-pale
policies both at home and abroad.
When this president came to power
- people had jobs, there was a huge surplus and the world was at peace.
Even before the rigged election Bush began talking recession. This became a
self-fulfilling prophecy. Thereafter Bush began a series of complete
reversals of the nation's course on international agreements of all kinds.
This man is clearly unqualified to lead anything larger than a small bar
full of drunks. His language is primitive, his professional knowledge of
diplomacy is non-existent, and his feelings for his fellow human beings
make a mockery of all that matters in the real world. And yet you embrace
him even as you grovel in your pathetic attempts to please him.
The disastrous results of you
complicity in 'W's grand plan to steal the essence of this nation by
subverting its laws, its founding principles, and its national honor in the
family of nations - is a crime against the people of the United States,
because your actions are undertaken in our names. These dire actions of
yours are probably not technically covered by legal codes; because there
must be loopholes that protect you from the folly of your official votes.
But mark my words - you will stand convicted in the court of public opinion
before all this comes to the catastrophic end that it is destined to reach.
As representatives of the people
of this country your behavior has been unseemly, in your public adoration
and complicity with the potentially criminal figures at the top of the
Executive branch of the U.S. Government today.
Is it possible that Congress has
not noticed that Bush is attempting to bankrupt both this country and the
world? Since he has been in office, we have lost millions of jobs;
corruption and fraud are running rampant on a massive scale, throughout
commerce and the markets as well as banking and business. Ordinary people
are hurting badly. We are in one open-ended war and headed for a second and
all because Bush has no plan except to lash out militarily to cover the
potentially criminal behavior of those in his administration, as well as
himself.
Now after nearly two years in
office this nation suffers from job losses, the very public and acute
failures of our institutions, and especially the massive failures of
government to actually DO anything about our collective plight - anything
that is - which might be favorable to anyone who is not rich!
Please consider these matters
carefully and resurrect your private consciences, from whichever black hole
you placed it in, when you took your oaths of office. But whatever you do,
know this: There are millions of people in these United States that love
this country. They loved it before 911 and they still love it. Most of us
know this nation is, and has been, far from perfect since the day it was
born. What is taking place now is criminal, both in the eyes of those who
care about the country - as well as those people and nations abroad who
still hold a decent respect for the continuing efforts of humanity to live
in a safe and sane world. That would be a world free from the terror Bush
wants to engender under a duplicitous banner of 'Peace.'
If you give "W" this
License to Kill - others may decide to pre-empt what they might see, as
their own fate, and the attacks on U.S. citizens at-home and abroad will
intensify - they will not decrease!
Bush has stopped looking for bin
Laden, yet the war goes on. The nation is flirting with recession again -
and a depression is once more on the national-international horizon. Thanks
people, it looks as though as members of Congress you have not only
deserted your posts when you were needed most - but in the bargain you
backed the worst of all possible worlds! Shorthand for this blunder is
summed up in one name: George W. Bush.
It is in your hands, it is your
sworn duty and responsibility to stop this madness now, or take the
honorable way out and resign.
Sincerely,
Jim Kirwan
