1. Rep Adam Smith's response to my phone call and letter: |
|
Dear ____,
Thank you for contacting me in support of the impeachment of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. I appreciated hearing from you.
The actions of Attorney General Gonzales have proven he is not up to the job. As a result, I have co-sponsored a resolution (H.Res.417) that expresses no confidence in the Attorney General's performance and calls for his resignation. I am troubled by his inconsistent testimony before Congress, his firing of U.S. attorneys, and his involvement in warrantless wiretapping.
On July 31, Rep. Jay Inslee introduced a resolution (H.Res.589) that directs the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Mr. Gonzales should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. I think this proposal warrants serious consideration. Impeachment is a major step and one I do not take lightly, but this is an extreme case, and I will consider it. I will listen to my constituents over the August district work period and will make a decision in September over whether to co-sponsor Rep. Inslee's resolution.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. I hope you will not hesitate to call, write or e-mail me again in the future anytime you have a comment or concern.
Sincerely,
Adam Smith Member of Congress
