Dear Madame Speaker of the House:
I am writing you as an ashamed USA citizen, living in San Francisco, native of California. I am writing you again, even though you are not answering my letters or emails as you did at one time. Communication is important and conditions of this country are such that I'm required once more to express my opinions.
People who once supported you, voted for you, congratulated are now seeing a changed Ms. Nancy Pelosi. Just a short while ago we could depend on you to represent this San Francisco Bay Area. Here we voted on the ballot for impeachment and it passed. You showed strong convictions against the present administration and now I hear you saying; "...impeachment is off the table..." Why is that, Ms. Pelosi? Why do you not express yourself clearly, why should you make conscious citizens speculate on the reasoning behind your statement or your choice of ignoring the people's wishes? The administration said, you'll remember; "Mission accomplished" and here we are years later and still funding the war in Iraq.
War, Ms. Pelosi...WAR and war profiteering. We are seeing the death of another generation in our lifetime just to fill the stomachs and pockets of a few. It is genocide, ethnic cleansing, murder and population control.
I saw a video March 8th, International Women's Day. Amy Goodman was doing the interviewing from www.democracynow.org on how USA women soldiers have died of dehydration in their sleep because of not drinking water after 3 pm. The story is they would not use the latrine at night trying to avoid be raped and assaulted by their fellow male soldiers. You might not have heard this report because it's been censored for over a year, but it can be seen on the Internet at: www.alternet.org/blogs/video/48992/
Ms. Pelosi, usually I am writing a letter to you urging to vote for or against some House Bill. This letter is distinctively different because I see your change and I know that whether Republican or Democrat; none of the government is a democracy as our forefathers sought to create. You and your fellow public servants have abolished our Constitutional rights, habeas corpus, and several amendments. Many people have given their lives for these values throughout hundreds of years, and in less than a decade all of you have seen fit to erase that part of history. You lived and enjoyed the security of knowing those rights were there for you, will those lovely grandchildren of yours have any security? What will happen when they have no Madame Speaker to defend them? During the coming of chaos of natural disasters due to global warming, will not be felt by everyone?
At the beginning of this letter, I wrote the words ashamed citizen of USA. How can I be proud of what my appointed and elected officials have done to this country? Should I be proud that it is now deemed acceptable to practice "enhanced interrogations" (torture) on "terrorist enemy combatants" (ordinary people defending their homeland)? Can I smile and boast we spread Democracy? How about spreading depleted uranium and using phosphorus bombs?
As a woman, Ms. Pelosi, are you proud of your country?
Are you happy to go down in the short remaining history of the human species; as the one who could have stopped the extinction, but didn't?
As a Speaker of the House are you proud of the USA?
As a grandmother are you proud of your country?
Where does the blood stop with this government?
