Impeach

"If you, my fellow Americans, will not demand the impeachment of the worst president in American history, a man who is a traitor to our Constitution, an instigator of unjust wars, a destroyer of worlds, a strutting global tyrant, and a threat to the very survival of human life on this planet, who will you impeach?" (continued)

Bush should go . . . BEFORE he attacks Iran.

Congress is concerned that if they begin impeachment, that Bush/Cheney will bomb Iran.

  • rigged elections

  Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney

  I ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:

  1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

  2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

  3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.

  4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.

  5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.

  6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

  7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

  8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.

  9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

  10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.

  Former Reagan aide says Congress must start impeachment inquiry

  A constitutional lawyer who served in Ronald Reagan's administration says President Bush's "apparently criminal" authorization of a warrantless wiretapping program is grounds for the House to begin an impeachment inquiry. (Continued.)

  View from a Catholic website.

  John Conyers (D., Mich.) released a staggering report with the hard evidence of crimes and abuses committed by President Bush and his administration (breaking 26 specific laws). This report, "The Constitution in Crisis," should provide the raw material for numerous news reports and point reporters toward fertile ground for additional investigations. Have a look at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/constitutionincrisis

  Thoughtful persons inside and out of Congress have called for Bush II’s impeachment. Lewis Lapham, editor of Harper’s Magazine, observed: “We have before us in the White House a thief who steals the country’s good name and reputation for his private interest and personal use, a liar who seeks to instill in the American people a state of fear, a televangelist who engages the United States in a never-ending crusade against all the world’s evils, a wastrel who squanders a vast sum of the nation’s wealth on what turns out to be a recruiting drive certain to multiply the host of our enemies. In a word, a criminal—known to be armed and shown to be dangerous.” Lapham said, “I don’t know why we would run the risk in not impeaching the man.”

  Rep. John Lewis (D., Ga.) reminded us that Bush II is not king, and that he would sign a bill of impeachment if he had a chance. John Dean, who had hands-on personal experience with impeachable offenses during the Nixon administration, said that “Bush is the first president to admit to an impeachable offense,” referring to Bush’s admission that he ordered the bugging of citizens without a warrant, and John Conyers Jr. (D., Mich.) has introduced a bill to investigate the administration for possible impeachment.
