How Much Do You Want to Bet Bush Issues Pardons of the Crimes You Claim Don't Exist?
Dear Congress,
Many of you, including both of your nominees for the throne and your Speaker and Minority Leader, claim to believe that George W. Bush and gang have not committed any crimes. To reward your perceptiveness, courage, and integrity, I would like to offer to contribute to your campaigns for reelection (in 2010 or later) if Bush does not issue any pardons for any of the crimes found in Congressman Kucinich's articles of impeachment. I'm making this easy on you, because you've already pardoned Bush himself and all of his accomplices, through legislation, for violations of FISA and for illegal detentions. You have time remaining to legislatively pardon everything else. Plus, by failing to uphold the old laws (such as the Constitution) on spying and election fraud you are setting us up for a "victory" by John McCain, who could be counted on by Bush to issue pardons. Nonetheless, I am willing to bet you that Bush issues pardons. He may even attempt self-pardons, but what I am predicting are pardons of others or blanket pardons of anyone (perhaps including himself) involved in particular crimes. To claim a contribution to your reelection campaign, you have to publicly commit right now to making a contribution to AfterDowningStreet.org if Bush DOES issue pardons of any of the crimes found in the articles of impeachment. I am confident you will make this commitment given your refusal to impeach and the absurdity of thinking that someone might issue pardons for crimes his administration is not guilty of.
Sincerely,
David Swanson

God Bless You David
The nation is 100% behind you. Where the hell is congress? You are doing the job for them.

Let's Take This One Step Further and Add to the More to the Bet
I would be willing to further this bet by adding a substantial contribution to the parties campaigns if these pardons for the crimes are not issued. In turn, you promise in writing, that you will resign from your respected position in government so we can have representatives in office that will honor their oath to the Constitution and the People of this Country.
I urge everyone reading this article to raise the ante of this "Bet" so the current "Self Serving" Government we have will know that we are serious and want this Administration to become the system that our Founding Fathers intended.

THANKS
Great
I Am Surprised
I Am Surprised - For all of you that have read this article and agree with Mr. David Swanson, why have you not increased the ante with your own "Bet" to Congress? I feel that if more people add to this wager, we will show Congress that we want our Constitution back and enforced by which our Founding Father wanted for the United States Of America. This is OUR Nation, we must stand for what it represents and show the people of the world we are Free.
Let's "Walk the Talk" and make our Government accountable for their actions.
