		<description>Way to go Maxine!  Defund escalation and fund withdrawal only.  

And here is a way out that changes their hate into love:  Give each Iraqi citizen an equal share of their oil stock and leave.</description>

		<description>I must address the point I made up there at the top. This was not a racial comment, but an observation that the Black Caucus members most of the time seem to be the only Dems (with a few notable exceptions) with guts.

I must also point out that Lynn Woolsey Is a Caucasian woman, so I feel a bit more encouraged in that there are white reps willing to put their careers on the line. Maybe growing up poor, disenfranchised and dealing with bigotry adds a few muscles.</description>

		<description>Every time an article promotes Hillary, Obama their is a cry of what about Kucinich, yet no one ever mentions these brave women: Waters, Woolsey &amp; Lee.  Do you remeber that Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the authorization for war. This speech by Maxine waters was no suprise to me.  Maybe it&#039;s because I&#039;m from California and she represents the district I was born in. (I now unfortunalty live in a district represented by Adam Schiff) If you saw the movie &quot;Farenheight 911&quot; you may remember that the Congressional Black Caucaus were the only Democrates fighting for Al Gore, not Kucinich. I like Kucinich but he is not the only Democrat trying to get us out of war.  Have you ever heard of Robert Byrd from West Virginia?</description>

		<description>Get out NOW! And we don’t care how you do it. There is no “honorable” solution to a deceitful venture. Continuing this illegal invasion is aiding and abetting a crime. Period. Saying we need to stay until there is some sort of stabilization is like keeping a bad marriage together for the sake of the children. It doesn’t work. 

The argument that chaos would ensue if we pulled out is equally insane. We ARE the chaos. The people in that region have been on that land thousands of years before America was formed. For us to think that we’re going to transform them is simply hubris to a degree that is off the charts. 

The people have spoken. No one is listening.</description>

&quot;Bush in authorizing the detaining of Jose Padilla, an American citizen, and detaining him for over three years without charges, access to legal counsel, or the courts, has violated his 5th and 6th amendment rights.&quot;

I am wrong about Padilla. His case is more complicated than I originally thought due to some fancy footwork by the Government. I still believe his treatment has been a travesty and that there may still be grounds to prove that his 5th and 6th amendment rights have been violated, however it will be harder to prove.

None the less, that does not invalidate the other legitimate reasons for beginning impeachment procedings against Bush.

		<description>Indeed, haven&#039;t the people of Iraq waited long enough for the US to leave their country.  Please try to make certain that the US military bases close as well.  A complete withdrawal is necessary.</description>

		<description>Represenative Waters,

It is my sincerest hope that besides troop withdrawals from Iraq that the Democrats in Congress will not ignore the other 800lb Gorilla in the room which is the Impeachment of George Bush and possibly Dick Cheney.

Ample evidence is available to support such an action and wouldn&#039;t even require any additional investigation:

Bush has publicly stated that he violated the 1978 FISA act which is a direct violation of law and because it was enacted to protect Fourth amendment rights, violation of it makes it a violation of the Fourth amendment to the Constitution also.

Bush in authorizing the detaining of Jose Padilla, an American citizen, and detaining him for over three years without charges, access to legal counsel, or the courts, has violated his 5th and 6th amendment rights. 

In violating the above 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments Bush has violated his oath of office in which he swore to protect the Constitution.

And lastly, in using signing statements to thwart the will of Congress Bush has violated the separation of powers as delineated in the Constitution. According to the Constituion a President may sign a bill into law or veto it. There is no provision for him or her to give themselves additional powers to ignore only portions of a law and in the process attempt to short circuit the process as established by the founding fathers of this country.
