Impeachment before the House! HRes 333


The press consistently treats Dennis Kucinich as a fool, talking about UFOs, how his ears stick out, mocking his height and appearance. But Kucinich represents the political aspirations of many Americans, and he is about to do what democratic Congressional leadership has been too cowardly (or too bought off) to do: introduce a House Resolution for Impeachment of Dick Cheney. The charges are serious: Cheney lied to manipulate this nation nto war, and continues to do the same in an attempt to provoke a war with Iran. There is overwhelming evidence that he has betrayed his oath to uphold the law and the Constitution. The bill is H Res 333, and because it is a priviliged resolution, it must be considered within two days. Even if Pelosi and co. try to table it, the issue of impeachment will be on aired for the first time. Professor Zero points us to After Downing Street for a detailed listing of the actual charges, and a list of more that could be brought. More impeachment news, including a consideration of arguments for and against impeachment, can be found at Impeach for Peach, one of many, mnay grassroots organizations that has been working tirelessly to make our representatives take action on our behalf.

I am proud that my congressional representative Keith Ellison is a co-signer of the Kucinich H Res 333, along with a group of principled House Representatives. You can call you representative to urge that our leaders be held accountable to the law.
And Wolf Blitzer is a tool.
