The Dem IM

To:	George Bush
	The Dem IM: It's time to come clean Mr. President. Why are our men and women dying in Iraq? Why did you lie to the American people?

I should be writing my thesis which is due in 23 hours right now but I feel like my head is going to explode. From MSNBC.com:

Vice President Dick Cheney’s former top aide told prosecutors President Bush authorized the leak of sensitive intelligence information about Iraq, according to court papers filed by prosecutors in the CIA leak case.

The filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also describes Cheney’s involvement in I. Lewis Libby’s communications with the press.

There was no indication in the filing that either Bush or Cheney authorized Libby to disclose Valerie Plame’s CIA identity. But it points to Cheney as one of the originators of the idea that Plame could be used to discredit her husband, Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson.

AAAAHHHHH!

Between Tom Delay, illegal domestic spying, and the dozen or so other scandals that the Republicans are dealing with, its hard to focus your attention on any one event but THIS IS THE BIG ONE. I've always thought threatening impeachment of the President was too big of a political step for Democrats, especially as they are already doing so well in public opinion. However, this may push it over the edge.

Right now, we must have one goal: Get every single Republican on-the-record as to whether they are with the President and their Party or are they with the American People and honesty in government.

It is now to the point where the President is so damaged that we must attack without fear of reprisal. Our men and women are dying in a war built on lies and deceit. Our constitution is in danger. Our government is broken.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to change how this country is run. Here's the battleplan:

1. Get Republicans on-camera on-the-record with their stances on the President, their Party, and the various D.C. scandals.
   
   Hammer those who stand with the Party with the facts.
   
   Call out the flip-floppers and rubber stampers that try to change their rhetoric for the election.
2. Demand the President come clean. When he doesn't, hammer him on it.
   
3. Get out our two messages:
   Enough is enough and it's time for a change.
   -and-
   The Power of Hope, The Promise of Justice: Democrats - Fighting for America.
   

Let's get to work.
