End of Year Push for the Impeachment Movement


Help Save the Constitution

Shortly after the start of the new year, Congress will return to Washington D.C. They will be greeted with the loudest and largest call yet for the impeachment of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. Full page newspaper ads in the New York Times and other newspapers, radio spots, local and regional political rallies, and national lobbying efforts will make it clear that the Bush and Cheney can run from impeachment, but there will be no place to hide.
This campaign has been in the works and gaining momentum since September 24, when hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the White House chanting, “Impeach Bush Now!” The Iraq war is an impeachable offense of the first magnitude, and the people know it.
In the last few weeks, many people have made generous contributions to fund the NY Times and newspaper ads, the radio spots and political rallies. We have made great progress but we urgently need to raise $20,000 in the next few weeks. Help support this campaign today. Nothing is more urgent than to defend and save the Constitution.
The VoteToImpeach/ImpeachBush.org campaign can only depend on its members and supporters. This has become a huge force because of the overwhelming response and support from the people themselves. Bush has limitless resources to lie and deceive and yet he has lost public support. More than 50% of the people now support impeachment if Bush lied about the justifications for the war. And he did.

Telling the Truth about Bush’s Iraq War
We have reprinted below an excerpt of the eloquent message sent December 8 by British playwright Harold Pinter as he accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature. Mr. Pinter has been a leading voice in opposition to the criminal war in Iraq. We wanted to share parts of his statement:

“The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law. The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public; an act intended to consolidate American military and economic control of the Middle East masquerading - as a last resort - all other justifications having failed to justify themselves - as liberation. A formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people. We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it 'bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East'.
How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand? More than enough, I would have thought. Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice. But Bush has been clever. He has not ratified the International Criminal Court of Justice...
Death in this context is irrelevant. Both Bush and Blair place death well away on the back burner. At least 100,000 Iraqis were killed by American bombs and missiles before the Iraq insurgency began. These people are of no moment. Their deaths don't exist. They are blank. They are not even recorded as being dead. 'We don't do body counts,' said the American general Tommy Franks ... The 2,000 American dead are an embarrassment. They are transported to their graves in the dark. Funerals are unobtrusive, out of harm's way. The mutilated rot in their beds, some for the rest of their lives. So the dead and the mutilated both rot, in different kinds of graves.”

-Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter

BUSH SEALS HIS FATE
Carl F. Worden

Nothing could have polarized more Americans than this recent revelation that President George W. Bush issued an Executive Order in 2002, authorizing the National Security Agency -- often referred to by Beltway insiders as the Non-Existent Security Agency -- to monitor all forms of communication, E-mail, telephone calls, Snail-Mail, you name it -- between American and non-American citizens residing in the United States, to persons located outside the United States, without a warrant authorizing them to do so under constitutional law.

I have personal contacts with a number of individuals in foreign nations, many of them on my E-mail list. How many of my communications were monitored? How many of yours were?

Long-standing federal law has prohibited federal and military monitoring of such communications without a valid warrant since former CIA Director Bill Colby blew the whistle on such activity during the Vietnam era. There is no question that federal and constitutional laws were blatantly violated by Bush's EO, and the best defense his administration can come up with at the moment, is that national security was breached by the person(s) who gave that information to the New York Times. The only national security issue involved here is this president's threat to the privacy and security of every American citizen.

Somebody out there in a position to know felt it necessary to give the New York Times the tip on this secret order, and now we're hearing they might be in trouble for doing so? I don't think so, and most Americans don't either. In fact, whoever had the personal integrity to reveal Bush's latest faux paus should be awarded a medal.

You know, if President Bush had ordered our northern and southern borders sealed up Soviet Union style after the attacks of 9/11/2001, we might give him a little more slack in this case. But the borders have been left virtually undefended since 9/11/2001, while anyone wanting to enter this nation illegally for whatever purpose could come and go as they please, from entering to find employment, to smuggling in huge shipments of illegal drugs, to entering our nation armed with Russian SA-7 anti-aircraft missiles intended to blow your family out of the sky as they depart LAX for the Christmas holiday.

Bush has sealed his fate with this latest revelation, and this story isn't going away. In fact, this just might be the final nail in Bush's coffin, leading to his impeachment. This is an issue that impacts every single American citizen out there. No matter how poorly our kids are educated with regard to the Bill of Rights and our Constitutional protections, just about every one of them knows their communications cannot be monitored by the federal government or any other governmental agency, unless a judge has been convinced criminal activity is involved, and the judge has signed-off on a warrant authorizing such monitoring and surveillance. That didn't happen in this case.

The fireworks aren't even lit yet. George W. Bush is a known rule-breaker. He always pushes the legal limits. While Bush proclaims we are a nation under the rule of law, his actions prove he does not regard himself to be under those same rules. Just as Bush will insist you and I are under the rule of law, his megalomaniac tendencies as president allow him to rule without restraint, based on the premise that the "situation" calls for it. He will look you in the eye and tell you he has a solemn duty to protect all American citizens from terrorist attack, while leaving our borders as porous as they ever were. The man is a liar of the first degree.

Given the truth that President Nixon was *NOT*
impeached and President Ford pardoned his predecessor,

I'm not even going to respond to the main content of this thread
because of all the things (not `who' but `what') I hate revisionism.

[georgealexander]

I don't 'unnerstand', idknow.

Are you saying your response is non-responsive? Sponsive?

Peace, brother. Don't hate.

I love visionism. B-)

LOL - thanks for that point!

my pernt is non-responsive to the content of the previous post precariously pinning post-paradoxical prehensions upon pretended portrayals of previous presidents post-passion.

LOL

Besides, we all know that since Lincoln, all presidents have acted in their full capacity of and as Commander-in-Chief.
(as said in another post of today)

btw, i love elision

Whether he was impeached formally or forced into resignation for violating his oath of office and lying is not the point. The point is: he was forced from office for violating the American Constitution and lying to the people who gave him his power of office.

Now we have another president who is outright declaring the American Constitution to be just a God#$% piece of paper and is boldly forcing the American people to accept his insolence and personal agenda!

Folks, this is not RIGHT! If nothing is done to remove him and his asses of evil (rumsfeld and chaney), then we are perpetuating the Zionist endgame and can only blame ourselves in the end for the ensuing suffering which is to come.

I reiterate, we do NOT know if the President actually said that. without more information, the statement is atleast hearsay and perhaps slander or libel.

I have it from TWO independant reputable sources: http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artma...cle_7779.shtml and http://www.rense.com/general69/paper.htm so I choose to believe it. Besides, if he can go to war on a lie and slaughter thousands of women and children and use radioactive depleted uranium shells to lay waste to the entire landscape, (present and future), and still ignore his own campaign speeches concerning the requirement of federal warrents for wire taps, then it doesn't matter what he has said, he is a criminal and a terrorist and needs to be held accountable!!!

The second URL mirrors the first and I do not know in any way if either is reputable.

I was unable to link directly to the first URL. I was able to get to the first URL via the second. (cached??)

People's Impeachment Lobby is a Huge Success
Impeachment is in the Air: New Polls Show Majority Favors Impeachment


Full page ads calling

for impeachment
will run again in the next few weeks with your help.
How many full page newspaper ads and radio spots will appear depends entirely on the generous support and contributions from people who believe passionately that impeachment is absolutely critical to maintaining the integrity of the Constitution. Please click here to donate to help the newspaper ads and radio spots run as many times as possible.

The impeachment movement has hit the new year running. If you consider the following facts, it's clear that the issue of impeachment has decisively taken off:
1) The People's Impeachment Lobby is a huge success. Members of Congress received more than 70,000 letters urging impeachment.
2) A new Zogby poll will be released tomorrow showing that by a 52% to 43% margin, Americans believe that Congress should consider impeaching George W. Bush if he wiretapped the people of this country without court approval (and everyone knows and Bush has admitted that he ordered just such huge secret spying operation.) The poll, with a plus or minus margin of error of 2.9%, shows that 66% of Democrats, 59% of independents, and 23% of Republicans support impeachment for wiretapping. Majorities favored impeachment across the country: the East (54%), South (53%), and West (52%), Central states (50%). The significance of this poll can be seen by way of comparison with public attitudes in the months before the impeachment of Clinton. In August and September 1998, sixteen major polls found that only 36% supported hearings to impeach Clinton.
3) Even Republican Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Arlen Specter, who will be convening hearings next month on Bush’s authorization of secret electronic surveillance of Americans, said that if lawmakers find Bush violated the law regarding wiretapping (remember Richard Nixon here), then “impeachment is a remedy. After impeachment you could have a criminal prosecution."
4) There are now eight members of Congress including John Conyers, the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, who have put their name to a bill calling for a special committee to investigate impeachable crimes by the Bush Administration.
5) Newspaper Ads in the New York Times and other papers will be published again, as well as radio spots in the next few weeks, coinciding with the Bush State of the Union Address and the Congressional hearings on Bush’s illegal wiretapping operation. These ads have reached hundreds of thousands of people and we are planning to run more in the next few weeks. Please help with your contribution.
