Believe me, Mr. Cheney, there is still time

No time like the present is what I have to say and if you are reading around today, perhaps you saw this article popping up:

That's right, it is impeachment talk time again and not as if we couldn't all use a lesson in how to hold elected officials to the standards we expect them to adhere to. So, if we can all say to Madame Speaker, yes we have time and the need and the interest to see the vice president and then the president held accountable for their criminal actions, then perhaps we will see some action taken and sooner rather than later.
I wonder just where the two of them think they will be able to go once they leave office without the thought/fear/worry that some marshall will not show up at their door some day with a warrant for their arrest. Because to be honest, the fear of this is an awful fear to live with. They have instilled it in others and maybe it is fitting they experience it as well. But the most important thing is that they need to be held accountable so that the next office holders who have similar inclinations towards the constitution will not do a damn similar thing or else face the consequences of their actions too.
But read it and think how can we make this happen and make it stick. Dennis needs to be credited with starting the ball rolling on this one and having the courage to put it out there. There are not many people today with that kind of courage.
Vote as if you know your own heart and the needs of this country and we shall all be fine.
