“Open Letter to House Minority Leader Pelosi”

Congressman Pelosi:
The
following editorial, by
Marjorie Cohn, a distinguished professor of law, expresses the
traditional viewpoint of the founders of the United States, a viewpoint that
came under attack by presidents in the 20th century to the great detriment of
the nation and democratic government. This viewpoint is arguably held today by
those who voted against George W. Bush in 2004 and by conservatives who feel
that Bush has gone too far to the right of their political positions. This would
suggest that a majority of the electorate feel that the nation is on the
slippery slope, sliding toward fascism.
The work of Democratic Senators and Representatives for the next four years will
be more difficult than ever before. The overarching goal is to stop a train
wreck that, up to now, Congress has been going along with. If Congress does not
show the backbone to fight this fight, there is little doubt that this nation
will soon become a third world nation, an effective dictatorship, and a menace
to the world.
Ms. Pelosi, this means unrelenting opposition to the Republican Party's every
move, whenever, and wherever the attacks come. No fight is too small to tackle.
This juggernaut must be stopped. The very survival of democracy requires it. Of
recent years the Democrats have been as closely associated with corporations as
Republicans, and that is why we're sliding toward fascism. This must cease if
the Party is to survive. We are in a fight for the survival of government of the
people, by the people, and for the people.
You must lead. The future of our nation hangs in the balance.
