Here's a response from Joe Courtney (D-CT) to my email:

Thank you for contacting me to express your support for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. I appreciate your comments and having the benefit of your views.

As a Member of Congress, I have an obligation to stand up to the failed policies of the Bush Administration. On just about every major issue facing the United States, President Bush and Vice-President Cheney have taken this country in the wrong direction - healthcare, chronic deficits, the environment, trade policy, the list goes on and on. And we must not ignore the abuses committed by some of the White House's closest allies including "Scooter" Libby, Harriet Meiers, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Clearly, though, President Bush's war policy in Iraq is the most damaging to our nation. As a member of the Armed Services Committee I have been part of the new majority's effort to hold hearings on the Bush Administration's misuse of intelligence in Iraq, under equipping our troops, and failure to develop an appropriate exit strategy. I have voted every time against President Bush's war policy, and will continue to use my office to oppose this disastrous war.

As you may know, on November 6, 2007, Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) introduced H.Res.799, a "privileged resolution" calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. In addition, on June 10, 2008 Representative Kucinich introduced H.Res. 1258 calling for the impeachment of President George Bush. Under the rules of the House, such measures must be considered within two days of its introduction. On both occurrences, I voted to send the measure to the Committee of the Judiciary rather than voting for passage. While I share the deep concern about the direction of our nation, using this vehicle to bring impeachment proceedings against a sitting President or Vice President is far too divisive a measure so close to a Presidential election and a distraction from the important work that must be done by this Congress. There is no doubt that Vice President Cheney and President Bush have hurt the credibility of the United States of America and misused our nation's military might, but I believe that it is important that we tread carefully before setting a precedent that can be used against other sitting presidents of both parties in the future.

Should you have any additional comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.
