Talking to some of your supporters, I get the impression that you're a visionary leader.

But your sole response when I wrote to you as part of the majority of Americans who want impeachment was to suggest to me that impeachment wouldn't serve "our [sic] ultimate objective."

My question for you is just who are you including in your notion of "our" ultimate objective?

Because it's not the 50%+ of us who want Cheney impeached.

Rather I have to conclude, unless you change your mind, that what you mean by "our" is the DLC and the ultimate objective you're talking about is your ultimate objective, which must not have much to do with upholding the constitution, since it apparently entails allowing criminals to occupy the white house.

I want you to know in no uncertain terms that I and the rest of the 50%+ of Americans who want impeachment have a different objective, and it's the one that should matter to you, if you're seriously proposing representing us.

It is absolutely irresponsible for you to suggest that we're part of your complicity with the Bush administration's crimes. You must impeach, and if you don't, you have no right to claim you speak for us on that issue.
