My Letter To Congress Requesting Impeachment of Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi has been pulling a number on the American people for far too long. Her list of sins is long and notorious and would fill a book. But this week we were given a gift. Pelosi, ever the political machine and liar, came out boldly denouncing people for their involvement in waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques at Gitmo. When asked if she knew of what was going on, Pelosi was adamant that she did not. Well low and behold, Nancy Pelosi, third in line for our presidency, was specifically briefed on EITs as early as September 4, 2002. In the wake of 9/11, and the political demands for retribution and victory, she raised no objections to these techniques.

Impeachment is appropriate for any public official whom the House of Representatives believes engaged in inappropriate, impeachable conduct. Censure is a public admonishment and finding of inappropriate behavior by a public official. Both are appropriate remedies for Pelosi, though impeachment would be sweet. Here’s the letter I wrote to my Representative. You can cut, paste and edit as you wish and email through the House’s email system.

Dear Rep. Clay:

I am disguisted by the members of Congress who have used our national security for personal political gain. In particular, Speaker Pelosi supported Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) in 2002 when it was politically expedient for her to do so. For your reference the CIA memo showing she was briefed on these techniques can be found in part here http://www.humanevents.com/downloads-pdfs/EIT%20Briefings.pdf

Now, when it is politically popular with far-left radicals to denounce waterboarding and other such EITs, Speaker Pelosi has been out publicly demanding the prior administration be investigated for these techniques. Her actions are despicable. How much longer must this nation suffer under her totally inappropriate actions. We demand more of our leaders than this. We demand our leaders be people of integrity and honesty.

I may not like Speaker Pelosi’s policy, but this is not about her policy. This is about how she conducts herself as a leader and someone entrusted with public confidence and the authority of the people. This is one of a large number of her violations of the public trust and we are not going to take it any more.

This shall serve as my request to open an investigation into the actions and activities of Speaker Pelosi to review them for censure and impeachment. I think the full weight of the evidence is strongly supportive of these remedies. Please report back to me your intentions regarding my request.

Very Truly Yours,

Lisa Krempasky
