Thank you, George McGovern for coming out for impeachment.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/04/AR2008010404308.html?hpid=opinionsbox1The fact that you did this helps our movement. I'm sure that many of the impeachment movement have a deep respect for you, like I do. Mine goes back many years.
When I was 14 I read about the candidates in the 72 election. I admired George McGovern for his principles and for being against the war in Vietnam. My brother had had returned from Vietnam and disputed my father's distain for Jane Fonda. My brother defended her - he knew what a farce that war was. I wanted to do my part against that war and for the election and I begged my mother (who was voting for Nixon) to take me out to work the precinct on election day so I could hand out literature for McGovern. She did. My mother doesn't always agree with me but encouraged me in this conviction for something I felt deeply about.
Well I went out proudly campaigning for the finest man in my life who has ever run for office in my opinion. He is prinicipled, he is intelligent and he doesn't get caught up in emotional slogans. He is also a war hero. He wrote a book Out of Iraq two years ago which has a very sensable plan. He is 85 years old now.
Back then I told my mother Nixon had committed a crime and if he were elected he would probably be impeached. Investigations were called the following year and my mother realized that I was right. Now she is 85, the same age as McGovern, and still has her wits about her as well. My mother not only tolerates my politics but agrees with me now. She has encouraged my efforts this year in the impeachment movement.
Thank you George McGovern, for all you have done in public service. This is the caliber of public service we used to have in this country, but no longer have. While we have candidates to consider for election, it's important to recognize that the impeachment movement must go on, as the Justice Department continues to try and influence local voter polls in states, we need to be strong and we need to focus on impeachment.
