The Ghost Of Tricky Dick

Yesterday, Senator Patrick Leahy called Bush's refusal to release White House documents, "Nixonian stonewalling." Leahy added, "In America, no one is above law."1

When Bush refused to comply with Congressional subpoenas regarding the U.S. Attorneys firing scandal he was really flaunting his disdain for the Constitution.

This standoff will likely lead to the Supreme Court. But we know that the Court is stacked in Bush's favor.

There is another way to hold the Bush administration accountable. Besides Bush and Cheney there has been one figure at the center of the warrantless wiretapping program, the torture of America's prisoners, the suspension of Habeas Corpus, and the U.S. Attorneys firings. That man is Alberto Gonzales.

Democracy for America is pushing for the removal of Gonzales because impeachment is one avenue towards accountability that even the Supreme Court can't stop.

Keep the pressure building with an end of quarter contribution of $15!

Yesterday's actions by the President's lawyer make it even more clear that we are in the midst of a constitutional crisis. George Bush and his cronies are trying to run out the clock on their

eight years in office. But we should not let them.

The system of checks and balances was set in place by the founders of this country with the expressed purpose of preventing the abuse of power by the executive branch -- which is exactly what the Bush Administration has done again and again.

Fifteen dollars today gives DFA the resources to hold the Bush administration accountable.

We all know that George Bush believes the law does not apply to him. Now, by continuing to stonewall Congress, Bush is protecting his old Texas crony Gonzales instead of respecting the Constitution both swore to uphold.

While Republicans are busy enabling Bush and Gonzales' abuse of power, DFA is mobilizing a grassroots army to hold them accountable.

If 1,000 DFA members contribute $15 to DFA's Impeach Gonzales campaign, we will have the resources to force this investigation to the next level.

I just contributed my $15. Will you do your part too?

Together, we can restore integrity to our government.
