March In My Name

A letter sent by John Nirenberg to all of his supporters:

I made it to Washington, D.C.!

Thanks for your support. Without your help, I would not have been able to complete the effort. Because of your help, I was able to influence over 75 Representatives, and meet with senior staff of Speaker Pelosi and deliver the signed petitions to her office.

I am grateful you chose to join me in expressing your concerns that our Constitution is in danger and to let Congress know it should act in its defense.

The impeachment movement has made some progress but not enough. We still have a President who completely disregards the Constitution and Congress has still not moved forward with impeachment hearings. But there has been progress.

However, because Speaker Pelosi has taken impeachment off the table, the President sees no reason to temper his behavior. Instead, he has been emboldened to continue his flouting the Constitution. Just this past week the President again issued signing statements contradicting statements he made to Congress in the State of the Union Address and is pushing forward on a treaty with Iraq, bypassing Constitutional channels. I hope you will continue following the efforts of so many other like-minded citizens and urge Pelosi (202) 225-0100 and Chairman Conyers of the Judiciary Committee (202) 225-5126 to fulfill their duty to the citizenry. Tell them again to open immediate hearings into the impeachment of both Bush and Cheney.

The attached picture is a tangible memento of your support of one effort to save the Constitution and as testimony that your stance on impeachment was evident.

Thanks again for your support. I very much appreciated knowing I was Marching In Your Name. I am continuing my blog as a way of showing my concern with this administration’s continuing illegal and unethical behavior. I hope you will visit from time to time to see how things are going. I also hope you will share with me stories about what you are doing to protect the Constitution or raise the consciousness of our neighbors.

Sincerely,
John
