Open Letter to Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party Leadership
I need you to more clearly and forcefully
articulate the Democratic Party's
positions.
I need you to point out
clearly to the general public what a waste of human life, American prestige, and
taxpayer money the Bush administration and the Republican led Congress have
given us over the last 5 years. Their cadre of neocons have been proven by
their own actions to be unethical, ineffectual, and
undemocratic.
Yes, the Republican Party
may hang itself on ethical issues, illegal conduct, and ineffectual conduct of a
war that we should not have started in Iraq. But as the leaders of the
government of the United States, they are taking the government and the people
down with them. We cannot afford to let the Republican Party rend the fabric of
a nation predicated on government by the people of the people and for the
people.
You
must
speak for us. That means speaking out and
developing a party-wide strategy that includes action rather than reaction.
That means putting ideas forward rather than waiting for the Republicans to run
out of ideas.
Make hay of the fact that
the President will not learn from his
mistakes.
Make hay of the fact that the
Republican led Congress is allowing the commander in chief to break the law
(FISA) and then rewriting the law to make his currently illegal practices
legal.
Use your
base.
Stop waiting for something "good"
to happen and go MAKE it happen.
Start
with supporting Feingold's call for the very moderate disciplinary action on a
president who BROKE THE LAW: censure.
