Impeachment now is imperative. If, We the People fail to force accountability for these crimes this fall, President Bush will have a free ride with impunity through the Presidential election year of 2008, when the Constitutional duty to impeach will succumb to political pressure, to the end of his second term in January 2009. The impeachment of Bush, Cheney and the other civil officers of the United States is not merely the best way to bring our troops home from Iraq and prevent new aggressions, it is the sure way and the only way. President Bush, who assaults nations in the name of democracy has proclaimed himself the one man “decider” for the fate of our country and its victims. For him, democracy is an election controlled by wealth every four years and dictatorship in between. If we fail, the world will see that the American people are powerless to effectively oppose Bush policies that have angered and embittered billions of people, making enemies of most nations, or worse, that the American people support Bush policies. How else could such lawless and destructive policies be tolerated? Join Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, the ANSWER Coalition, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, and thousands of others in Washington DC on September 15 for a huge antiwar protest timed to coincide with the report by General Petraeus on the "Surge" in Iraq.

The Petraeus Report is scheduled to be released at this time and Congress will be taking up the bill authorizing billions more to prolong this tragic war.

For those of you whose hearts and souls will be in D.C. but bodies are stuck in the other Washington, please join together with others who share your outrage at this administration, the lack of accountability, and the inability of Congress to put the brakes on their violations of the Constitution and total disregard for human rights and the rule of law.

Tuesday, September 25: Take to the streets when war criminal Bush comes to the UN! The eyes of the world will be on New York when this monstrous commander-in-chief of a government responsible for horrendous death and suffering from New Orleans to Iraq, comes to speak at the UN.

On Tuesday, September 25th, 2007, George W. Bush will be speaking at the UN at 9:30 AM. We are organizing an action series that you may want to participate in and we encourage you and your friends/comrades to join us. We are organizing coffin walks from around the city that will converge on the UN at approximately 9:30 AM. These walks are technically legal in that they require no permit. We will walk on the sidewalk, obey traffic signals, and carry coffins, wear T-shirts or carry signs that say "Arrest Bush". Each group only needs six people in it to have an impact. A "citizen's arrest" of George Bush will happen at the UN. Although the exact details will be worked out by those involved, the idea is to bring a warrant for his arrest for Murder, Kidnapping, Torture, Destruction of Property, Illegal Wiretapping etc. to the UN and try to detain him so that we can put him on trial for these crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and at home.

The purpose of the series is to educate the members of the Loyola community on the meaning of impeachment and why, if we are to uphold the principles of our Jesuit university and of the United States Constitution, it is our responsibility to demand constitutional government leadership.

He will begin by looking at this issue through a biblical lens. This event has been marked as open to the public. LOCATION: Simpson MPR | ||

Join the nationwide protest against a racist outrage. Six young African American students (ages 16-18) have been framed up in Jena, Louisiana and are facing up to life in prison for a schoolyard fight with a white student. It all began when African American students dared to sit under the “white tree” outside the school. Three nooses were then found hanging from the tree. Three white students were expelled by the principal, but the superintendent of schools reduced it to a 3-day suspension, calling it a “prank.” Afterwards, all of the African American students stood under the tree. The District Attorney came to the school and told the African American students to stop the protests or “I can end your lives with one stroke of my pen.” Start: 20:00
For Colleagues of Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence AND other friends interested in Iraq, Iran, intelligence, and truth: It has been exactly three years since (with the help of Prof. Peter Kuznick of American University, Dan Ellsberg, and supportive friends) we held that wonderful gathering of truth-tellers (and hundreds of their closest friends, as well as students) in that cavernous auditorium at American University. It's a morale boost just to recall all those folks sitting/standing in the aisles—Dan Ellsberg, Coleen Rowley (then still with the FBI), Katharine Gunn (from UK intelligence), Col. Frank Grevil (from Danish intelligence), Ann Wright and John H. Brown (two of the three Foreign Service Officers who quit because of the invasion of Iraq), David MacMichael et. al.

Background: Last fall, when two Black high school students sat under the "white" tree on their campus, white students responded by hanging nooses from the tree. When Black students protested the light punishment for the students who hung the nooses, District Attorney Reed Walters came to the school and told the students he could "take [their] lives away with a stroke of [his] pen." Racial tension continued to mount in Jena, and the District Attorney did nothing in response to several egregious cases of violence and threats against black students. But when a white student--who had been a vocal supporter of the students who hung the nooses--taunted a black student, allegedly called several black students "nigger", and was beaten up by black students, six black students were charged with second-degree attempted murder. Last month, the first young man to be tried, Mychal Bell, was convicted. Later this month, he will be sentenced to up to 22 years in prison for a school fight. Start: 00:00

See: Bill Clinton on The Daily Show Former President Bill Clinton will be sitting down with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show for the third next Thursday, September 20. We can't say for certain what the purpose of his visit will be, but it's a safe bet to assume that it has something to do with his new book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World, which, we understand, is some kind of a sci-fi vampire novel.

His newspaper commentaries have run in many national newspapers, including The Chicago Tribune, The L.A. Times, The Miami Herald, and a host of other newspapers. You Have No Rights tells 82 harrowing stories of people in America whose rights were trampled on. Rothschild demonstrates how the war in Iraq has also been a war on our liberties. The stories he tells add up to a powerful indictment of our political leaders; but they also remind us, as citizens, that we must insist on taking back our stolen rights. -Howard Zinn Start: 18:30

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21st & every third Friday Over 60% of Americans want this war over-yesterday - that was clear last November. Yet here we are, seven months later and the political process is moving glacially, at best. It's got to stop! We've got to stop it! The concept is simple. On September 21 and on every subsequent Third Friday, millions of Americans will break with their daily routine to take some concrete step to demand an end to the war and the return home of the troops. This will be an escalating series of actions serving to maximize, multiply and reenergize existing activists and even more importantly give voice to the silent majority of people who want an end to our engagement in Iraq. The hallmark will be the wearing of black ribbons and armbands, in mourning for all of those who have died in this senseless adventure--Iraqis, Americans, coalition troops, and others. Start: 08:45
As a follow-up to our wildly successful impeachment Town Hall meeting with Minneapolis City Council Members Cam Gordon and Elizabeth Glidden, we're attending the Minneapolis City Council Meeting Friday, September 21st. According to sources on the Minneapolis City Council, they will be taking up impeachment in the next few weeks. Council Member Remington has shown support for this cause. www.ImpeachForPeace.org is asking you to show up at the Minneapolis City Council at 8:45am. We suggest you wear impeachment shirts, buttons, etc. Signs are also allowed, but we've been asked to sit along the back of the room out of respect for the proceedings. Some people might wish to demonstrate outside the building, while others will likely want to attend the meeting itself wearing impeachment t-shirts or holding signs. For details, contact Jodin Morey of Impeach for Peace: Start: 10:30

***Open to the Public*** U.S. Senate Democratic Policy Committee Hearing “The Mistreatment of Iraq Contracting Whistleblowers” This Friday, the U.S. Senate Democratic Policy Committee will host a hearing on the retaliation faced by whistleblowers that have come forward with evidence of fraud and abuse in Iraq . Recent reports from auditors suggest that questioned and unsupported costs associated with Iraq reconstruction and military support contracts exceed $10 billion (or more than one in six dollars audited). This hearing will feature witnesses who have been fired, demoted, threatened, intimidated and even detained for speaking the truth about Iraq contracting practices. We will also hear from expert witnesses who will recommend policy reforms to address whistleblower mistreatment and strengthen protections in current law. Witnesses will include: Start: 12:00

The Walter Reed Vigil is now in its third year. Support in the immediate community, around the country, and around the world continues to grow. We call on all who believe in the Vigil message to join us, particularly this Friday night, September 21, 2007, to participate in the National effort to end the war, calling on everyone to do something, an action large or small, wearing armbands, holding vigils, initiating discussions in the workplace and elsewhere, and, for some, civil disobedience. No one who opposes this war and occupation...opposes war with Iran...can afford to sit by waiting for someone else to get the job done. It is more important than ever for us all to act. Please join us at the Vigil on Friday evening. Busboys and Poets can wait a couple hours. Make this your night to be on the street. Vigil Status ...in case you wonder, is it meaningful to be standing in front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center for two hours on a Friday night | ||

Money for Bridges and Cities, NOT War! Sept. 29 in DC On October 1, Congress is scheduled to authorize over $100 billion for continued war in Iraq, and estimates for the long term costs of the war are over $2 trillion. Already more than $500 billion has been spent. Meanwhile, as the tragedy following this week's collapse of a bridge in Minneapolis reminds us, we face daily danger from our collapsing infrastructure. This includes, not only 590,000 bridges, but roads, rail lines, subways, levees, preparedness for natural disaster emergencies, schools, hospitals, etc. Almost five years of U.S. occupation has destroyed the cities and towns of Iraq, killed more than 1 million Iraqis, created 4 million refugees (2 million displaced inside Iraq and 2 million refugees in nearby countries) left 70% of the population without potable water, electricity, schools or hospitals. Almost 4,000 U.S. GIs have died, many thousands are injured and maimed. Start: 00:00

President Bush,"W" and V.Pres. Chaney SHOULD NOT only be IMPEACHED BUT they should both be turned over to the INTERNATIONAL COURT to be tried for WAR CRIMES. They and the Republican controlled Congress (2003-2007)have literally stolen our constitution from us. Yes the Democrats were in control of Congress when the "Exploratory War Authorization" was approved, but I don't believe any one anticipated that "W" would do what he has done since then, except possibly those Republican Insiders that had prior knowlege of his Ultimate Plans. His abuse of the "Signing Statements" is just one example of why, now that the Democrats are again in control, they can't control what he does without some help from the Republicans. As a longtime student of our Constitution, I don't understand why more Republicans aren't OUTRAGED by what he has been allowed to get away with in his destruction of our Constitution!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 8:30 a.m., at least twelve marches, starting at different locations throughout New York City, will converge at the United Nations to confront President Bush when he arrives to address the General Assembly. People, carrying coffins, beating drums, holding signs demanding that President Bush be arrested - some vowing to arrest him themselves - will surround the United Nations and declare the illegitimacy of the Bush Administration and its on-going occupation of Iraq. A "citizen's arrest" of George Bush will happen at the UN. Although the exact details will be worked out by those involved, the idea is to bring a warrant for his arrest for Murder, Kidnapping, Torture, Destruction of Property, Illegal Wiretapping etc. to the UN and try to detain him so that we can put him on trial for these crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and at home.
