Democrats.com Applauds Dennis Kucinich for Introducing Articles of Impeachment
The full House of Representatives must vote this week on these articles of impeachment.
CLICK TO EMAIL YOUR CONGRESS MEMBER
Congressman Dennis Kucinich is on the floor of the House of Representatives right now introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush.
Bob Fertik, President of Democrats.com, said: "We've waited seven years to find one Member of Congress brave enough to stand up for our Constitution, for which generations of Americans have fought and died. We are thrilled and honored that Dennis Kucinich has chosen to be that one genuine patriot. We congratulate him on his historic leadership, and pledge to do everything in our power to persuade Congress to adopt all 35 Articles and put George W. Bush on trial before the Senate of the United States, exactly as the Founding Fathers wanted."
Fertik continued, "Some might question why Congressman Kucinich has done this now. My question is why 434 other Congress Members have not done it before. Despite the uncountable and unspeakable crimes this administration has committed, George Bush and Dick Cheney remain in power and immune from prosecution. Congress must impeach Bush and Cheney now - before they further abuse their power by pardoning for all of their crimes."
David Swanson, creator of ImpeachCheney.org, Washington Director of Democrats.com and co-founder of the AfterDowningStreet.org coalition, said: "Congressman Kucinich is the first, but we will be pressuring 434 other Representatives to join him. We must act to prevent an attack on Iran and to reestablish the rule of law for future administrations.
"Bush has had many accomplices, first and foremost Vice President Cheney. But our Founders created a single executive precisely so that we could hold that one person accountable for the actions of the Executive Branch. It is high time we did so, and millions of Americans will be urging their representatives to support the effort being led by Congressman Kucinich.
"Bush's public comments have time and again advertised his indifference to the laws he is violating. Not only does overwhelming evidence show us that Bush knew his claims about WMDs to be false, but the president has shown us that he considers the question of truth or falsehood to be laughably irrelevant. When Diane Sawyer asked Bush during a televised interview after the war was underway why he had claimed with such certainty that there were so many weapons in Iraq, he replied: 'What's the difference? The possibility that [Saddam] could acquire weapons, if he were to acquire weapons, he would be the danger.'"
Swanson continued, "What's the difference? Hundreds of thousands of corpses and a fatal blow to the rule of law among nations. That's the difference - unless we remove impeachment from the Constitution by failing to exercise it, in which case truth will no longer matter any more than justice or peace."

UPDATE:
THANKS TO REP MARCY KAPTUR for sitting behind Dennis in support!
UPDATE 2:
Marcy didn't last. Dennis is going longer than Jimmy Stewart.
UPDATE 3:
Does anyone recognize the guy in this video who tries at the last minute to talk Dennis out of going forward?
UPDATE 4:
It's 11 p.m. ET and Dennis is still going strong and is up to Article XXIX. The phones in his office are ringing off the hook and have been since 7:15 p.m. ET, and the comments are overwhelmingly in favor. But it's more important that people call their own representatives!
UPDATE 5:
Commenter on DailyKos blog claims Conyers is watching:
I just called Chairman Conyers' office (12+ / 0-)
and he picked up his own phone. I spoke to him for a few minutes, and I urged him to support the resolution and take it up in the Judiciary Committee. He told me he was not going to make any statement until all the articled had been read, but he took my number and address and told me I'd be the first person he called with the news.
Whether he will actually will do that remains to be seen, but I will update with a diary the moment he calls.

UPDATE 6:
Dennis began around 7 p.m. and just finished at 11:52 p.m.

Rep. McKinney's floor statement on the impeachment of George W. Bush
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/16230
Bob Fertik, President of Democrats.com, said: "We've waited seven years to find one Member of Congress brave enough to stand up for our Constitution..." McKinney's articles introduced in 2006 so that is two years, not seven.
David Swanson said "Congressman Kucinich is the first..." McKinney is the first, Kucinich is the second.
I'm shocked David forgot.
didn't forget
glad she did it
give her credit
this is a more serious attempt not introduced on the last day of the session, and forced to a vote on the floor this week
He is out-lasting me
This is too thrilling for words. I wish I could stay up longer. I will definitely ask my Congressman to co-sponsor this. I wonder if the Washington Post will cover this or will they be asleep at the switch. We are ready for honest debate about this issue. Go Dennis!
I did not reach my Congressfella. I'll give him a call tomorrow.
4Peace
Go Dennis!!!!
I just logged on. I've been listening to "Mr. Smith" since the start. I thought he'd have maybe 7 or 8 articles. But 35?! Each article is as powerful as the next. He's pointing to boils on the body politic. Will Pelosi allow Conyers to begin the lancing process?

George W. Guilty of Murder?
George W. Guilty of Murder?
A prominent lawyer lays out a compelling case in THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER. Staggering evidence is collected against the president in a startling new book.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRlJk1qhWVw&eurl=http://www.afterdownings...
Amazon.com: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder: Vincent Bugliosi: Books
"The preferable venue for the prosecution of George W. Bush for murder and conspiracy to commit murder would be in the nation's capital, with the prosecutor being the Attorney General of the United States acting through his Department of Justice. This book, however, establishes jurisdiction for any state attorney general (or any district attorney in any county of a state) to bring murder and conspiracy charges against Bush for any soldiers from that state or county who lost their lives fighting Bush's war, which you can see applies to every state in this nation. Since the date of this map, March 15, 2007, hundreds of other United States soldiers have died in the war." Excerpt taken from renowned prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's book "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder".
Treason
Of course Bush is guilty of murder of 1,000,000 innocent Iraqi civilians and over 4000 American service people. It is not impeachment we need it is a trail for treason.
Impeachment urgent!
Now that Obama has endorsed the war on iran, he has set himself up for defeat. When Bush/Cheney/McCain launch that war, with Obama on board, the issue becomes Who will make the best war leader? And then McCain wins. Since that is their best and perhaps only move to win, they can be expected to take it.
This was the reasoning behind Kucinich's resolution to bring impeachment hearings against Cheney, and it is still the one move left for us to stop this war, in spite of Obama. We simply must impeach. We can only know that it was too late by trying and failing. And we might win.
Have been reading about Obama's
down with bombing Iran recently. Impeachment urgent is right, but it has always been, but maybe more will take action, write, protest, maybe?
Short and sweet and to the point...
Sumitted under multiple letter designations (ie Iraq, legal issues, crime, elections, etc.)
A copy of the letter I just sent to MY Congressperson....
My message to Congress........You aught to be ashamed of yourselves. I am just one 30 year old, father of two. I am just simply one nobody from what seems to be the middle of no where. Just a nobody ........... But so are you Stephanie. You are simply one person. A regular person with a family, your own thoughts, and your own feelings. But whatever your personal feelings about impeaching Bush and his administration might be, wether it be something like "We don't have enouph time." (which is simply untrue........... Terri Shiavo taught us that!), or "It will hurt us in the election." (This one is absolutely absurd! Any election following the impeachment Of Bush and his supporters would fall in favor of those who supported said impeachment in what could only be described as a landslide.......... I guarentee it!), or another excuss that I've heard "The votes just aren't there." (If this one is true than you are waisting your time there Stephanie........ the votes are there and here's why.......... those in Congress who are against impeachment right now are political sheep. They will vote to impeach as soon as it suits them, which will be right after it is seriously looked at publicly ...........and then it will suddenly be their idea). Or pick any one of the many other talking points Congress might have against impeachment right now that, quite honestly I (A nobody from nowhere)could debate circles around all day long........ I don't care which one it is. The fact is Miss Herseth you are just one regular person to, just like me. Also from the middle of no where. Except unlike me you are one person with a very important job to do and you are not doing that job quite frankly. Because if you don't realize that the vast majority of your constituents want, no strike that, need impeachment than you haven't been talking to the common man, or hardworking families, or your children who will be forced to do the job you in congress have not had the courage to do thus far for which you took an oath. Well congress.....I HAVE talked to them..............to the point of being redundant, so I don't care about your talking points that say the support just isn't there. I HAVE talked to these people congresswoman Herseth.......... and they want impeachment........... period! I HAVE done the research. And the grounds for impeachment have been there, in plain sight, and in most cases arrogantly on video tape. So if you can't see that your job has practicaly already been done for you than with all do respect to you Stephanie and to Congress, YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB! George Bush and his policies, or lack of them, are an abstruction. They are an obstruction to the daily lives of all your constituents and until you remove that obstruction, there will be no justice......... there will be no progress.........and there will be no oppertunities............. there will only be rescession ............ there will only be oppression........... there will only be darkness. For me........... for my family............ and for your family congresswoman Herseth.
There will be no justice for you.
Respectfully,
Johnathan D. Douglas

I'll make this short and sour.
FUCK THE ELECTION. Who gives a shit whether one foot in the grave or halfcoon and his "I suddenly got proud of being the "first time (her life) of being proud of being an American" wife even gets elected!
If the United States has no more to offer than Mr. pussy wiffle give the U S to "illegal aliens" and Mr. waffle "stay in Iraq for a 100 more years" for president...then we don't need a president!!! What "we" need is CPR and an ambulance!
Anybody that doesn't like that can kiss my veteran of foreign war ass!
TP
The political party I belong to is the entire body politic of the United States of America and our Constitution that I support without bias which neither states or implies any allegiance with any other socalled organized political party.
THAT WAS EASY
I just clicked there and my message was short and sweet. "IMPEACH!"
