Ousting Bush, Cheney Should Be Top Goal For All

Dear Editor: The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, says that impeachment is "off the table," and "leading" Democratic candidates say it can't be done.

Locally, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Ald. Mark Clear will not support it for vague reasons.

Those refusing to take responsibility for ousting President Bush from office seem not to realize that if impeachment of Bush and Vice President Cheney were successful, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Pelosi, becomes the next president.

Unfortunately for some of Hillary Clinton's backers, the senator would not become our first woman president. Although this would be sad for Clinton, Americans cannot let another day go by with criminals roaming the White House.
