Kucinich Bringing Back Impeachment This Week
Kucinich Bringing Back Impeachment This Week
Keeping true to his word, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) informed his colleagues today that he would bring one article of impeachment against President Bush "for taking our nation and our troops to war based on lies" to the House floor Thursday.
In early June, Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush and demanded that they be read into the record in full, taking up two nights of House floor time to do so. After the House voted to refer the articles to the Judiciary Committee, Kucinich vowed that he would come back in 30 days with 60 articles of impeachment if no hearings were held.
Impeachment "Is Already Beginning" An Analysis Of Kucinich's Impeachment Case (Elizabeth Holtzman)
The House should commence an impeachment inquiry forthwith. In fact, in a sense, it is already beginning. Rep. Kucinich introduced the articles, the House has referred them to the Judiciary Committee and the Senate Intelligence Report goes a long way toward furnishing the investigative work Congress needs to do in the course of impeachment, at least as regards the run-up to the war (Congress should also look at other serious abuses of power, including President Bush's refusal to obey duly enacted laws, as evidenced by hundreds of signing statements, his violations of the laws on wiretapping and mistreatment of detainees).
GOP Congressional Candidate Will Demand Cheney's Impeachment
Moloney sees a chance in congressional race: Perennial contender hopes to shift his party
By Will Oremus, San Mateo Daily News
This is the fifth in the Daily News' five-part series profiling each of the candidates to replace the late Tom Lantos in Congress. The two Democrats, two Republicans and one Green will compete in an open primary on April 8.
Republican Mike Moloney believes it will be an embarrassment to his party if he wins election to Congress - and he's proud of that.
"The Republican Party is bankrupt morally, spiritually and emotionally," Moloney said. "It's been hijacked by the nuts on the religious right."
Protesters Confront Pelosi: Call for Bush Impeachment
WALTHAM - As U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Stanley Elementary School yesterday, a small group of protesters gathered outside demanding she use her congressional powers to impeach President George Bush.
Holding signs simply reading "Impeach" and others offering statistics on deaths caused by the war in Iraq, about a dozen protesters held a silent demonstration yesterday on the sidewalk opposite the school on South Street.
The Cavalry Isn’t Coming
“Why is this recession different from almost all other recessions?” asked Herbert Barchoff. The economist, a former president of the Council of Economic Advisers, answered his own question: “This is not only the usual cyclical recession, but also a structural recession.”
Barchoff’s dark assessment appeared in a letter to the editor of The New York Times — in June 1992. Then, like now, Americans were suffering through a long, grinding recession following a boom (under Reagan) that had primarily benefited the wealthy. There were mass layoffs. The real estate market had collapsed. Foreclosures were rampant.
Does the Constitution Require Impeaching Bush and Cheney?
John Adams, who was later the second president of the United States, wrote some words in the Constitution of Massachusetts that have been quoted approvingly by the U.S. Supreme Court and every state supreme court in the United States. He described a separation of powers among three branches of government and said that this would be done
"to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men."
Thomas Paine in his "Common Sense" pamphlets that helped launch the American war for independence, wrote that
"so far as we approve of monarchy, ... in America THE LAW IS KING. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law OUGHT to be King; and there ought to be no other."
In Iraq people now talk of "Bush’s mass graves."
More and more mass graves are being unearthed with hundreds of bodies, most of them unidentified, but all of them dug in the post-Saddam era which Iraqis associate with President Bush and his occupation troops.
One such mass grave is the one discovered recently in Mahmodiya which, according to Hareth al-Ubaidi, a human rights activist and Member of Parliament holds “hundreds of bodies and bears all the marks of Saddam Hussein but does not belong to him.”

Two towns vote to arrest Bush, Cheney
The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them."
Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics.
Vermont Towns Vote to Indict Bush and Cheney
Marlboro, Vt., passed a similar measure at its town meeting today at which the vote to indict Bush and Cheney was 43-25-3. That's 43 in favor and 3 abstaining. Thus Marlboro beat Brattleboro to it by a few hours. In Brattleboro, the indictment question was on the primary ballots for both parties.
Here's a kit for other towns to use: http://afterdowningstreet.org/indictkit
Here is background on Brattleboro's indictment ballot initiative, written prior to the vote:
Senate candidate Laurie Dobson calls for Bush’s arrest
KENNEBUNKPORT — Calling President George Bush "the worst president in the history of the United States," Independent U.S. Senate candidate Laurie Dobson stood on the steps of Town Hall Tuesday and called upon the town to indict Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as war criminals.
Saying that both had "made killing fields of many countries," Dobson urged town leaders to issue a warrant for their arrests.

For This idea to work we need 50+ volunteers
This is not a personal site- it was made for anti-war Americans to organize to stop the endless war.
Volunteers are needed as internet activists, people that can help spread the word to every anti-war website and blog in America. If they really want to end the war, surely they'll put up a link to this directory that lists true peace candidates nationwide.
We need people to blog about this, write about it, get Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn, Greg Palast and all the other concerned citizens to write about it. We need friends of stars to contact them, free concerts by every anti-war band there is. Are Greenday and Eddie Vedder for real? Then get out there and start playing some free concerts for someone on this list of Peace Candidates!
This is the logical path antiwar America can choose to overcome the mainstream media and take back our country - using the internet to unite all concerned citizens.
It's like in Bug's Life- the top 1% have more than the bottom 90%. They have all the power, but we little ants outnumber them 100 to 1. United, we can win. We need to get everyone on board- peace candidates in every state to end the war. Every antiwar blog needs to post a banner until PeaceCandidates.com is everywhere.
This is not to be self-aggrandizing, but this is the collective action we can take to end the war. Getting a few more democrats in Congress is not good enough. We need real opposition candidates, and it's up to us to find them.
We need your help. Just a few people alone cannot:
So please, antiwar activists- cut your reading in half, and start writing about the Peace Candidates. Wiki the state pages, build this site and spread the notion of regular Americans running for Congress.
What's that? There's too little time- it'll never happen? Well that's to our advantage because they're not ready for us. d- 8
