CITIZEN ALERT v1.246XAVIER BECCERA

This morning I went to a town hall meeting with my representative Xavier Becerra at the Dahlia Heights Elementary School in Eagle Rock. I would urge everyone to attend your own representative's town hall meeting in order to hear their views in person. You get a better sense of who that person is and what they believe when they're standing up there having to explain it to a roomful of really pissed off people.

Once the questioning began the word IMPEACHMENT was almost immediately shouted across the floor to thunderous applause from us all. And I can tell you from that meeting, being that Beccera is Nancy Pelosi's assistant, they are in NO WAY looking to impeach either Bush or Cheney. He explained it over and over again to the dismay of everyone, that while they "support" impeaching the administration and they are as frustrated as we are, an impeachment, in their minds, would take at least 2 years. They have 18 months. An impeachment would take their focus away from bringing our troops home from Iraq. He went on to say that the congress can focus on only so much at a time and right now it is working on Iraq.

I believe he was sincere in his frustration, but still disagree with him on the DEMS methods. He brought up procedures and laws over and over, but look, this administration has no respect for procedure or laws, so if you think you're going to win by following them to make yourself look more noble then you are fooling yourself. If the REPUBS want to take it into the gutter then the DEMS need to fight it out in the gutter.
