Sent in today:

The destitution of Iraq and the crucifixion of its people continue.
Despite the anarchy there, polls show that the Iraqi people want U.S.
forces to leave, now.

Ludicrously, it was said that we were fighting for democracy while
ignoring the expressed desires of the Iraqi people and the
disapproval of most of the world.

The American people have registered at the polls their disgust with
the Bush administration’s behavior, and have largely repudiated those
who have defended it.

This behavior includes aggression against a land posing no military
threat—a crime against international law. It includes deception,
secrecy, and the manipulation of information. It has sanctioned
torture and incarceration without judgement. And more.

At home, the American people have been terrorized, convinced that
their security could only be obtained by violating the norms set
forth in our Constitution.  Our laws and court rulings have been
overruled by executive fiat while a cowardly Congress acquiesced.

So, how can the expression of our people, established in our recent
elections and referenda, be enforced?

—Only if these high crimes and misdemeanors, as understood in our
constitution, are rectified and those responsible made accountable.
This means that Congress must not forgive and forget these grave
misdeeds; doing so would codify actions by the present administration
that would blight our foundational principles. Rather, it is the duty
of Congress to inform the American people with rigorous inquiries of
past administration actions and deceptions, followed by appropriate
actions to remedy and, if appropriate, penalize those in high office
responsible. Only in this way might we again become a nation of just
and humane laws true to our Constitution and be able restore our good
reputation.

In short, we must demand that our Congressional representatives carry
out their obligation to realize the ideals of our republic.
