A SAN FRANCISCO CITIZEN HAS WRITTEN THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE EDITOR CALLING FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF MAYOR GAVIN NEWSOM: 

To: Gavin Newsom
From: Joshua Kyle (a San Francisco Citizen, Contact info below)

My Dear Mayor Newsom,

I am writing you to offer my hearty congratulations. You certainly made a fool of those pesky Tibetans! Bravo!

You and the Chinese Ambassador must have had a good laugh at the secret closing ceremony after the torch ran the secret course of the torch through the city guarded by your troopers.

I will not know your expression at the closing ceremony of course because the free press was not present. Perhaps I could see pictures from the Chinese State Media coverage of the event?

Will the Chinese State controlled media have pictures of the torch running through  empty streets here in SF? The Free media, of course, was left in the dark by and large.

I heard that one of the torch runners pulled out a Tibetan flag while running and was removed by police. What was she charged with – using her First Amendment right of Freedom of Expression?

Many of the protesters traveled thousands of miles in order to protest here, the only stop of the torch in North America. Some of them have relatives, brothers and sisters who are being tortured as you now read this letter. What a very clever fellow you were to trick them!

Many of the protesters were Bay Area residents and many were Tibetan-Americans -- fellow Citizens. Neither I nor they pay taxes to you in order to finance you to organize secret parades for foreign tyrannies through our streets. Shall we expect secret parades for The Dear Leader of North Korea next? Follow the same underhanded playbook and the Dear Leaders parade will go off without a hitch.

In case you are out of the loop, here is a photo of a Tibetan woman whose right breast has been burned off (A). Here is a photo of a monk who lost 20 teeth during interrogation when an electric cattle prod was jammed down his throat (B). His offense was he had put up a poster in Lhasa. His sentence term was 33 years.  Here is a woman whose face has been burned off for her religious beliefs after being shocked by guards on all parts of her body for over seven hours (C). She died of her wounds shortly thereafter.

If I sent you three photos per day for two hundred and seventy three years (273 years) you would have a photo for each Tibetan estimated to have been killed since 1950. I would finish in the year 2281.

But of course we must not politicize the Olympics mustn't we.  In 1936, I assume you would have extended the same devious courtesy to the Nazi torch runners using the same cowardly logic. I wonder if you would keep the same fastidious neutrality if it were your relatives who were suffering? By allowing the Chinese State Media triumphal photo ops of the torch parading freely thorough our streets unopposed you have solidly taken sides. May God have mercy on your soul.

Your public statement that the secret route change had to do with public safety is a transparent falsehood.  Not more than a handful of people were arrested for minor infractions out of a crowd of tens of thousands. Was the cover story suggested by the Chinese Secret Service detail? If safety was your real objective you should have stopped the torch running entirely -- not duped your fellow citizens. The only thing you were protecting was the “dignity” (your words) of the Chinese Torch.

When the history of free people is written, April 9th 2008 will go down as an ugly  footnote showing a sickening example of cowardice and appeasement. Instead of the United States of America lifting China into democracy and freedom, China has succeeded in dragging us down to its dark, seedy, sneaky level -- hand in hand with you, Mr. Newsom.

Based on your use of taxpayer funds for this secret march I assert that you should face impeachment.

Sincerely,

Joshua Kyle
