The American people have a choice ahead of them. They can continue to be shamed as a nation of torturers, or they can put a stop to this administration’s ongoing crimes against humanity.

I do not understand why action against them has not been taken. When we do not take action, it shows we agree with the action being taken. Do we really want to go down in history as the type of a nation that condones the actions of this adminisrtation?

We need more people to speak out. Please call Nancy Pelosi.

"Why bother with impeachment if charges for war crimes will eventually catch up with the torture team?
Criminal charges can punish individuals for their crimes, but impeachment has the power to restore the rule of law, and redeem the office of the executive. Impeachment hearings will put the truth on the congressional record. Unlike other subpoenas, impeachment subpoenas cannot be denied.
Impeachment establishes legal precedent, so that future public officials will not be able to abuse power in the same way. The American people can signal to the world that they have taken responsibility for their own government, and ensure that torture will never again be this nation’s policy.
We must demand that Congress make ending torture the top priority. They know about torture, and their silence makes them complicit.
The eyes of the world are upon us. There’s plenty of time to impeach. Our self-respect as a nation demands it."

If we do not insist that he is impeached, our generations will go down as some of the most apathetic in American history. History will not forget the crimes of this administration and history will not forget what we decide to do about it.
