>Dear VoteToImpeach Member:
>
>Sunday night, September 7, President Bush told the American public and the 
>world to expect more of the same from his administration. More crimes 
>against peace and humanity, more deaths and destruction, more debts and 
>poverty. He wants everyone to help.
>
>President Bush has spent $79 billion attacking Afghanistan and Iraq and 
>seeks $87 billion more for another year of violence. What he calls "one of 
>the swiftest and most humane military campaigns in history" has taken more 
>than 30,000 Iraqi lives, destroyed "tens of billions" in facilities 
>essential to life, electricity, water supply, sewage disposal, according 
>to Paul Bremer, and left the whole country destitute, in turmoil, growing 
>violence and rage. Thousands perished in Afghanistan where the destruction 
>remains unrepaired, the people disoriented and impoverished, the highway 
>from Kabul to Kandahar is impassable and violence is mounting.
>
>U.S. casualties in Iraq alone have reached 300 dead, 1200 with disabling 
>injuries, and a total of 6000 returned to the United States in body bags, 
>on stretchers, or sick in body or mind. U.S. soldiers are being killed at 
>a growing rate, now 1 or 2 a day.
>
>In the meantime, 2 1/2 million jobs have been lost in the U.S., 1.3 
>million families slid below the impossibly low poverty line of $17000 a 
>year for a family of four. U.S. government deficits have erased a surplus 
>of $590 billion and created a debt of $400 billion, a trillion dollar 
>loss, with deficits of $400 billion plus expected for the next several 
>years at least.
>Not content with his crimes against peace, wars of aggression, crimes 
>against humanity, assassination, summary execution, torture and illegal 
>and secret detentions, President Bush boasted "...and we have captured or 
>killed hundreds of Saddam loyalists and terrorists... seizing many caches 
>of enemy weapons and massive amounts of ammunition. We have carried the 
>fight to the enemy... the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is 
>to engage the enemy where he lives and plans."
>
>That means more wars of aggression. More summary execution and 
>assassinations. More arbitrary arrests, more illegal detentions and 
>disappearances. Guantanamo is a symbol to the world of President Bush's 
>contempt for human rights: torture, suicides, secret detention, military 
>trials, an execution chamber waiting. Guantanamo should be returned to 
>Cuba now -- a century late.
>
>U.S. forces must be withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan. These must be our 
>last foreign military interventions. U.S. companies must be barred from 
>profiting from contracts for "rebuilding Iraq" which the U.S. destroyed. 
>Ten percent of the U.S. military budget at the 2003 level should be paid 
>into a U.N. fund for the next decade to compensate Iraq and Afghanistan 
>for U.S. crimes against them, to be used as they choose.
>
>We are virtually guaranteed more of the same unless President Bush is 
>impeached for his high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
>To take back the Constitution and save our country Vote to Impeach now. 
>This vote is an unmistakable message from the American people. The world 
>and the present Administration will understand this message. It means we 
>do not accept the crimes President Bush has committed in our name and will 
>not permit their repetition.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Ramsey Clark
