July 16, 2008

American News Project: Kucinich's Fight to Impeach Bush - Part I : Rep. Dennis Kucinich continued his seemingly quixotic crusade to impeach President Bush last week. But with Speaker Pelosi suggesting the House Judiciary Committee may hear his argument, Kucinich might get his day very soon.

Judiciary Committee will begin hearings on Friday, July 25th

We've got a shot at letting the world know that we've finally summoned the courage to get the facts about an 8 year run by a murderous gang of international thugs into the World's consciousness

NON Believers, take notice: WE CAN DO THIS!

We Vets met w/ Conyers on June 11, July 9, and we'll be at the hearings on the 25th.



However, we still need 10's of thousands of calls, all across America, to pump up the D's, and THE 9 COURAGEOUS "R's" who voted CORRECT, today ( 229 D's, & 9 R's YEA; 179 R's, 1 D NAY ) {NV=6 D & 11 R }

By the way, an important part of the Hearings, on July 25th will be about "Yellow Cake", WMD, etc...
For our 4,120 KIA, and the 100's of thousands of Iraqi's killed by the Administrations lying & murderous policies, GET UP, & RAISE HELL!

Congressman John Conyers has informed Veterans for Peace that he will hold the hearing we've been pushing for at 10 a.m. on Friday the 25th of July. He has not yet confirmed that publicly, but another member of the Judiciary Committee has confirmed it to me. Our job is to make it as much as possible an impeachment hearing and then to insist on a real impeachment hearing. The 9% Congress will only hurt itself by advertising Bush and Cheney's crimes together with their own failure to move impeachment forward. Impeachment would revitalize Congress and even the Democratic Party, and it's our job to make that crystal clear. Read Dave Lindorff's take on this.

Veterans For Peace Requests Meeting with Representative John Conyers About Impeachment

A national veterans’ organization today sent a letter to Representative John Conyers, head of the House Judiciary Committee, requesting a meeting with him to deliver over 10,000 signatures on a petition to impeach George W. Bush. Impeachment hearings would have to be convened by the Michigan Democrat.

The president of Veterans For Peace, Elliott Adams, wrote Conyers requesting a meeting in early June to deliver their petitions. In it, he pointed out that by invading and occupying Iraq, the Bush administration has violated the U.S. Constitution, domestic laws and international treaties.

Adams’ letter said, “Having taken an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic, our members take…the obligation to impeach George W. Bush most seriously...we must hold this administration accountable for waging a war of aggression against Iraq.”

The former paratrooper and Viet Nam combat vet reminded the 21-term Representative from Detroit that, “You have taken the same oath, Congressman Conyers, and we expect you will hold it just as sacred as we do and begin impeachment hearings at the soonest possible moment.”
