Congress:
This Message is For You
As long as
there are hungry people in this land, you are not doing your job. As long as
there are cold homeless people in this land, you are not doing your job. As
long there as there is available health care and people can't afford it, you
are not doing your job. Even more importantly, if there is not enough food,
housing and healthcare services available, you are not doing your job.
The Preamble
of the Constitution declares the purpose of the Federal government to be to
"establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our posterity." Amidst all the Conservative rhetoric of
"government overreach" you are found guilty of massive "under reach."
In this
modern age, it is a scandal that there are no educational prerequisites for the
holding of public office. All that seems to be necessary to get elected is an
opinion and a checkbook funded by interests other than what the Preamble
(above) states.
As we debate
and declare whether or not we believe the President committed Federal crimes,
abuse of power, campaign election violations, extortion, complicity in foreign election
interference or a host of other "high crimes and misdemeanors", we
have lost perspective of the greater failure of Office.
We elected a
President who is bound and determined to commit "crimes against
humanity" with each and every unilateral policy directive over his
signature. The list is longer than his arm.
As partial list of such policies includes: stripping of clean water laws
and allowing more mining and drilling wastes to be dumped in rivers and streams;
permitting more air pollution with challenging California's auto emissions
levels; allowing coal fly-ash to not be handled properly; parceling out
national monuments for logging, mining and fracking; withholding Federal
disaster aid to people he does not like; curtailing funding for SNAP; hamstringing
farmers with tariffs; the list goes on.
Although the
President has the authority to do such things FOR THE RIGHT REASONS, he does
them for all the wrong ones. Whether they are prosecutable crimes or not they
fail the test of the purpose of the Federal government. In total these acts
rise to the level of impeachable offense. His callous disregard for human needs
is the worst of his offenses. Congress' failure to stop him makes you complicit
and equally guilty.
