Republican warns 'something's in the works' to trigger a police state

The following is from http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Oldline_Republican_warns_somethings_in_works_0719.html

Thom Hartmann began his program on Thursday by reading from a new Executive Order which allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies.

He then introduced old-line conservative Paul Craig Roberts -- a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan who has recently become known for his strong opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War -- by quoting the "strong words" which open Roberts' latest column: "Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran."

"I don't actually think they're very strong," said Roberts of his words. "I get a lot of flak that they're understated and the situation is worse than I say. ... When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order] ... there's no check to it. It doesn't have to be ratified by Congress. The people who bear the brunt of these dictatorial police state actions have no recourse to the judiciary. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule. ... The American people don't really understand the danger that they face."

Roberts said that because of Bush's unpopularity, the Republicans face a total wipeout in 2008, and this may be why "the Democrats have not brought a halt to Bush's follies or the war, because they expect his unpopular policies to provide them with a landslide victory in next year's election."

However, Roberts emphasized, "the problem with this reasoning is that it assumes that Cheney and Rove and the Republicans are ignorant of these facts, or it assumes that they are content for the Republican Party to be destroyed after Bush has his fling." Roberts believes instead that Cheney and Rove intend to use a renewal of the War on Terror to rally the American people around the Republican Party. "Something's in the works," he said, adding that the Executive Orders need to create a police state are already in place.

"The administration figures themselves and prominent Republican propagandists ... are preparing us for another 9/11 event or series of events," Roberts continued. "Chertoff has predicted them. ... The National Intelligence Estimate is saying that al Qaeda has regrouped. ... You have to count on the fact that if al Qaeda's not going to do it, it's going to be orchestrated. ... The Republicans are praying for another 9/11."

I am writing a letter to my representative asking him to support this.

Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives

Dear Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi,

The democrats in Congress were elected by the American people to end the war in Iraq, and end the corruption in the White House. So far you have done neither. The invasion of Iraq was based on lies, and there is no reason to continue to occupy the country. Instead of ending the war, you have allowed the the President to send over 20,000 more troops to Iraq, putting 20,000 more lives in the middle of a civil war.

The President has declared that he is above the law, and the current administration is refusing to answer subpoenas or comply with investigations. This alone should be grounds for impeachment. Instead, Congress has done nothing.

Congress was elected by the American people, to represent the American people.

As the Speaker of the House of Representatives, it is your job to follow the will of U.S. citizens, and stand by the people that elected you.
