The Colorado Independent: ACLU sues Denver over jail manual

    Udall, DeGette, Salazar, Perlmutter & ACLU Of Colorado
    continue to avoid protecting our Constitution, But,
    the ACLU is doing a great job fighting for the right to protest safely at the DNC.

    It is a shame that ACLU Of Colorado continues to avoid coming out in support of Impeachment (as the ACLU did in 1973 against Nixon).

    In 1973 the US House Democrats filed multiple resolutions of Impeachment against Nixon. So many in fact that the press and House Judiciary Committee Chairman could not ignore them. Action was taken to impeach Nixon for far less serious crimes forcing him to resign.

    Today we have a Vice President and President who have committed hundred of violations of Our Constitution and the ACLU does Nothing, After hundreds of far more serious crimes against our Constitution, the ACLU does Nothing!

    Kucinich's resolution to impeach Cheney has more co-sponsors than all of the 1973 Nixon impeachment resolutions but still our Colorado Congressmen ignore the hundreds of violations of our Constitution by Bush. Why? What deal was made?

    Our Colorado Congressional Democrats, DeGette, Salazar, Perlmutter and Udall Do Nothing to protect Our Constitution and bring Cheney and Bush to justice. They duck any and all discussion of their duty to hold impeachment hearings.

    These Congressmen took an oath to defend Our Constitution. Have they become traitors to Our Constitution?

    If we cannot trust them to honor their oath of office, can we trust them to protect our interests against the corporations.

    Rep. Udall in particular has a special responsibility to us. He wants to be elected to the US Senate, but he refuses to honor his oath and call for Impeachment Hearings prior to the election.

    If Rep. Udall will not defend Our Constitution why on earth would we want him in the Senate. We already have one Colorado Democratic Senator (Salazar) who supported Gonzales for Attorney General and votes like a Republican. We don't need another.

    Udall needs to immediately come out in support of impeachment hearings or risk his election to the Senate. He is in a tight race and needs to pay attention.

    Protecting Our Constitution is far more important than allowing a cowardly Congressman Udall into our US Senate.

    I am a 43 year Democratic voter and I am sick and tired of supporting Democrats who refuse to protect our Constitution.
