In a representative democracy, the rule of law establishes the
necessary premise that no one is above the law, the land, and the
people. However, today we suffer under an administration which sees
itself above the rule of law. The Bush administration has continuously
lied to and manipulated the American people about the war in
Iraq. It has engaged in illegal surveillance, mass detentions
(without judicial review), torture and signing statements that carve
out exceptions to legislation. Today it is time for you to
take action and tell the Bush administration we will no longer allow
their abuse of power to go unnoticed.
Congress through various committees is in the process of conducting
oversight investigations. Such oversight investigations have
subpoena power and so this is the first step for Congress to move to a
full blown impeachment. Your Congressperson needs to hear from
you on this issue. Please send the sample letter or you can
modify it in your own words.
We need your help in telling the Bush Administration that no one is
above the rule of law. Help protect the rule of law in our
country!
