Feingold proposes censure of Bush for illegal spying in face of Republican abdication of duty

Russ Feingold the Senator from Wisconsin has proved himself a hero again. Despite cowardly abrogation of Congressional oversight by the Republican controlled Congress, he has introduced a motion to censure George Bush who would be King.

Now we wait to see how many Dems are absolute cravens. The Republicans have already showed they put party above country.

Sign Russ's online petition to censure Bush.

The President must be held accountable for authorizing a program that clearly violates the law and then misleading the country about its existence and its legality.

The President’s actions, as well as his misleading statements to both Congress and the public about the program, demand a serious response.

If Congress does not censure the President, we will be tacitly condoning his actions, and undermining both the separation of powers and the rule of law.

I therefore sign on as a citizen co-sponsor to Senator Feingold's resolution to censure the President.

Call your Senators. Call your Congressman or Congresswoman. Bush is undermining the very foundations of our civilization. We must resist.
