Five days left in the eight year illegal occupation of the White House

Washington D.C.--And so, it's ending, and not with a whimper (except from Georgie boy). President-elect Barack Obama is going to do his darndest not to prosecute these bastards, trying to make us think that Congress can't do likewise. It's all just bait-and-switch, the oldest game there is aside from the shell game.

Demand, demand, demand the appointment of a Special Prosecutor armed with subpoena power and the immense resources that it's going to take to unravel the mess left by yet another criminally-inept Republican presidential administration and era.

This will happen again otherwise--if we're even able to emerge from this man-made economic crisis intact. Indeed, we all own our little part of this mess, but George W. Bush and his administration and a Republican Congress created the lion's share of the corporate crime wave we've been living under since 2000. Truth be known, it's been much longer in duration, stretching-back decades. That's how big this is, it's literally the end of an era and possibly of an order.

My hunch is that Obama and the rest of them in Washington are going to try to do things as they've always done, attempting to save a rotten barrel. When that doesn't work, they're going to keep fighting the reality that market capitalism is really and truly over, waste valuable time they could be finding constructive solutions, and drive us further down into a mess that's going to dwarf the Great Depression. Congress will also lend-a-hand in creating this catastrophe.

But there's a alternative: mount a massive and aggressive prosecution on the soon-to-be former Bush II administration's most obvious offenders. There must also be the formation of prosecution units to take-on Wall Street offenders, and there must be prosecutions, there must be accountability. No accountability means no renewal of faith in the financial and political system, and the evidence criminality will be found where it ran riot in government under the Republicans and in the private sector.

But we have to quit fooling ourselves. It's also going to be found in the ranks of Congress itself, the reason why there's no will to prosecute the outgoing Bush II administration. They were complicit with them, and they compromised themselves.

If President-elect Obama is the political hack that I suspect he is, he's in as much trouble as Alberto Gonzales already, which is saying a lot considering the fact that no law firm in North America will hire the disgraced former Attorney General. We don't need any repeats from the last eight years, America cannot survive it and remain America. Hope is great, but false hope is just cynicism by another name.

"Speak Out For A Special Prosecutor For Bush/Cheney At The Obama Change Site" by the Pen

We Were Promised Change, And Change Is What We Will Hold Our New

President To

Of all the things that must change, the FIRST thing that must change

now is that the rule of law and respect for the Constitution must be

fully restored. Obama has set up a site where he professes to want to

know what his priorities should be. Therefore let us all go there and

make the number one idea this one.

Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush

Administration

The direct link is rather longish, so we have set up a special action

page that will open up a new window and forward you directly (or else

look for the link at the very top) to the page where you can vote for

this most critical idea.

Important: To cast a vote, when you get to the voting site, click on

the box with the current number count to the left of the main header

for the idea, NOT on the widget on the right hand side of the page

lower down, which just reloads the same page.

President-elect Obama recently said, "If I found out that there were

high officials who knowingly, consciously broke existing laws,

engaged in cover-ups of those crimes with knowledge forefront, then I

think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law."

Attorney General-designate Eric Holder recently said top Bush

Administration officials "authorized the use of torture, approved of

secret electronic surveillance of American citizens, secretly

detained American citizens without due process of law, denied the

Writ of Habeas Corpus to hundreds of accused enemy combatants, and

authorized the use of procedures that both violate international law

and the United States Constitution."

We must now hold them to honor their words of accountability.

The Bush administration has refused to investigate its own crimes and

President Bush may issue blanket pardons before he leaves, indeed we

fully expect him to even try to pardon himself. But that is all the

more reason why we must keep as much heat as possible on the

potential for real post inauguration prosecutions. No pardon could

possibly be broad enough to exonerate the entire litany of the crimes

of the outgoing White House without itself raising serious

constitutional questions.

President Obama must appoint a Special Prosecutor - ideally Patrick

Fitzgerald - to fully investigate these crimes and prosecute those

responsible to demonstrate that we are truly a Nation of Laws and no

one - including the President - is above the law. And you can make

sure that happens by going to this link and helping to make the

appointment of a special prosecutor the number one idea on the Obama

"change" site by a very large and dramatic margin.

And then after you vote, if you haven't requested your "Impeach

Both!!!" cap yet (we just shipped out another 1000 this week), if you

want to go back and get one the page left behind by the link above

will allow you to do that. Because anyone who thinks that the Bush

administration has even now finished committing high crimes has

greatly misunderestimated their depth of incorrigible malfeasance.

Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. Our new

president has asked us to be involved in telling him what to do. Let

us find out if that was for real or not, by continuing to speak out,

in greater numbers than ever before.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed

to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
