Sen. Feingold Seeks Citizen Sponsors for Censure Resolutions

"Over the last week, I've held Listening Sessions across Wisconsin and heard the same sort of comments that thousands of people like you have emailed my way over the last week - it's time to hold the President, and his administration, accountable.

Become A Citizen Co-Sponsor of Censure
http://ga1.org/campaign/censure07?qp_source=web%5fcensure07

The President and Vice President led our nation into an unwise war, under false pretenses, without adequate planning, and have mismanaged the situation that continues today. The President and Attorney General have time and time again thumbed their noses at the Constitution and the rule of law - on everything from warrantless wiretapping to undermining Congress' role to conduct adequate oversight.

If Congress stands by and does nothing to hold this administration responsible, we open the door for this President, and future presidents, to continue to undermine the very foundation of our government whenever they see fit. The President, Vice President and Attorney General must be held accountable.

Become A Citizen Co-Sponsor of Censure

The President has taken our country down the wrong path for far too long and it is up to each and every one of us to get America moving back in the right direction. As I mentioned above, thousands of you have joined our effort and signed on as Citizen Co-Sponsors of Censure. By showing your support today, Congressman Hinchey - the lead sponsor of both censure resolutions in the House - and I can show our colleagues in Congress that the American people demand accountability."

1. Censure is not strong enough. They should be impeached. n/t

2. I agree with you and so does the author at afterdowningstreet
"Let me be crystal clear here: I support impeachment. Do I think that censure should be in lieu of impeachment? NO. But do I think that censure may heighten the public's push for impeachment, for the constitutional restoration of our republic with its democratic traditions?"

3. As far as I'm concerned, that is an "up your ass" smoke and mirrors game
Wow... hold me back, because NOW I can become a citizen co-sponsor of censure.

Meanwhile, back in my district, my congressional rep has totally avoided any personal contact with his citizens. Not a town hall meeting to be held. Not a headline to invite comment from the community about what sacrifices have been made of only some of us in this fucked up war. And non of what Congress has done in the Senate and House can even begin to address the way citizens have been lied to, drained living wage opportunities in the shrinking middle class and how we really appreciate being spied upon.

Censure? We have been asking for accountability, and in the August break we get this. Meanwhile, I keep getting phone calls for supporting more candidates. Yes sir, sure makes me want to support that kind of leadership.

Give me a break. :eyes:

4. Where are the other senators? Maybe Feingold is testing the
waters to see how much support there will be this time.

:shrug:
