Join our Impeachment Group on Facebook
Got a Facebook profile? It's the fastest growing social network on the Internet and not just for students anymore. You might be surprised how many of your friends and colleagues are already on Facebook.
We've set up a new group to coordinate impeachment efforts among members: the The Nationwide Movement to Impeach Cheney and Bush. Come join us!
Joining the group will allow you to harness Facebook's outstanding viral capacities to quickly spread information about impeachment far and wide.
Our new community organizer, Jacob Park, would like to ask you to do two things:
1. Go to the group page, click on SHARE, and then click on POST. This will post the group to your Mini-Feed so that all your friends can see it. Then invite at least ten of your friends directly (and tell them to invite at least ten friends).
2. Check the group page regularly. He's going to be posting a lot of action ideas and event listings but I don't want to spam you with invites and messages all the time. There will definitely be actions that you can do and good events near you.
Here are some more ideas:
1. Post a pro-impeachment message on the Facebook sites of Members of Congress. Typically you have to click "support this politician" and then you can write on their wall. Here's the message I posted - you can use it as a guide but please don't copy it or it will look like spam.
Please Support Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment for Dick Cheney
H.Res. 333 was introduced by Dennis Kucinich and is co-sponsored by Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Jan Schakowsky, Al Wynn, Lacy Clay, and Yvette Clarke.
H.Res. 333 accuses Cheney of manipulating pre-war intelligence on Iraq and threatening an illegal war of aggression against Iran.
Those are all serious and impeachable offenses and it's way past time for the House Judiciary Committee to start impeachment hearings.
If you care about the Constitution, please co-sponsor H.Res. 333

- Speaker Nancy Pelosi - she took impeachment "off the table" in 2006 but needs to put it back on the table!

Judiciary Committee: they need to schedule hearings on H.Res. 333
- John Conyers (Detroit) - chairman - he has the power to schedule impeachment hearings, but he's been holding back under pressure from Speaker Pelosi (see above)

Legal Dispute with broadcast media
THE MEDIA CONSPIRACY MUST BE CHALLENGED AND STOPPED ONLY A FEDERAL LAWSUIT CAN REMEDY THE MEDIA The official act by an elected Representative of filing Articles of Impeachment mandated by the United States Constitution, Article II Section 4, is a very rare and important event. The failure by the mainstream broadcasting media to report this official act has prevented the public’s right to be informed on an issue that imperils the democracy by preventing the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. The potential controversy expected by an impeachment process is now completely missing while not one of the five (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and CNN) broadcasters have mentioned the Articles of Impeachment official filing on April 23, 2007. Precedent statements by the Supreme Court demands litigation such as, “It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount….It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, esthetic, moral, and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here.” The Fairness Doctrine safeguarded the public’s right to be informed on issues affecting democracy, while also balancing broadcaster’s rights to the broadest possible editorial discretion. When broadcasters conspire to prevent the public from being informed on an issue that affects democracy, specifically the impeachment of the Vice President for purposely manipulating incorrectly the intelligence used to preemptively attack Iraq and misuse his media power to lead America into war -- a vivid line needs to be drawn. To draw this line, only a federal lawsuit can be the remedy. The body of law that is necessary to convince the court that this media conspiracy exists, in fact, needs to be read and analyzed correctly. Then a complaint must be filed. The work load required to read 1st Amendment cases that will establish the rule of law necessary to prevent the media companies from summarily having its case dismissed will consume time. The case must survive to the deposition phase to establish the evidence that the defendants conspired to prevent the public from knowing that Articles of Impeachment were in fact filed on April 23, 2007. The job of getting to that hurdle is critical. From that point of deposing the editors and producers who conspired to prevent the public from being informed will be easy. If the impeachment blackout was an actual coincidence and not a conspiracy, the defendants would be eager to be deposed to set the record straight. After all it is the stock in trade of each media company to have its audience believe they are hearing the truth even if the truth is not “fair and balanced” and even if the news is not “fit to print”.
The Media Conspiracy
How about a gov't-run station...like NPR, only on all the time? (Trouble is, even NPR hasn't reported on Kucinich's articles of impeachement, as far as I can tell.) Run by...people with college degrees who haven't been able to find any other job that pays enough to live on, like me, how's that?
I'm not sure how one would prove that the network news was being maliciously biased rather than just stupid
"The Seven Sisters" US media helped send us to war
The American Public deserves a free and unbiased media.
Bush and Cheney lied and distributed false information...
Where are the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that U.S. and coalition officials called an immediate and intolerable threat to world peace?
The media contributed.... Because only seven corporations control the US media(monopoly).... The US media, “the Seven Sisters”.... did not investigate the false and distorted information supplied by the Bush administration... the US media did not do their job....Reported false and distorted information which led our country to war. The seven mega- media corporations should have to pay for their part in sending our country into this unjust war! We need to diversify ownership of the media back to the Pre-Reagan era and return to the fairness doctrine!!!
The Iraqi Tragedy, Bushwhacked:
14.5% 0f Iraqi citizens, 4 million, are displaced, 47% within Iraq while 53% have left the country. ONE out of every SEVEN households! ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE out of every THOUSAND IRAQIS are DISPLACED (75 left country 70 displaced within)
700,000 Iraqi citizens killed or wounded more than 2.5% of the entire population! More than TWENTY-FIVE out of every THOUSAND Iraqi citizens has been WOUNDED. More than THREE out of every THOUSAND Iraqi citizens has been killed. http://foci.wordpress.com/2008/01/26/iraq-war-body-count-january-2008/
The U.S. Tragedy, the Bush Legacy:
*$275 million per day taken from the US economy, see where else we could spend our $$$ on instead of the Iraq War: info@nationalpriorities.org
*More than 15 US troops are now wounded for every 1 killed http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/articleid/8330
*$350-$700 billion- cost of medical care and benefits for returning Iraq War veterans
*Opium production in Afghanistan has increased more than 300% from Pre-War levels
*U.S. is now #1 in worldwide prison population per capita
*National debt has climbed to $10 trillion dollars - by far the highest in our nations history. Clinton left a budget surplus of $559 billion!
*The U.S. disparity of wealth gap between rich and poor has reached a level not seen since before the Depression. Worldwide the United States has the most unequal distribution of income!
*World opinion of the U.S. now the lowest in history of nation.
*The Weak U.S.Dollar Threatens National Sovereignty.
The first nine months of 2007 saw foreign acquisitions of U.S. corporate firms hit a record $257.4 billion. Communist China now has controlling interest in and essentially owns Chase Manhattan Bank.
Focus on the real problem
PELOSI’S SCHEME FOR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE
Speaker Pelosi’s favorite line is, “We have to build a record.” With that in mind she refuses to allow any investigation in conjunction with the specific acts contained in H Res 333, the Articles of Impeachment. Building a record is impossible without any investigation. This is a simple contradiction on its face that no one is presenting either to Pelosi for an answer or to present for public discord.
When a person contradicts themselves that must mean there is a hidden agenda. Pelosi wants to prevent any record from being built that involves any impeachable crime under the Constitution. Pelosi wants to claim that even if the House votes to impeach Cheney first, the Senate will never cast the required number of votes to remove Cheney from office. While anything is possible, the facts that surface from an investigation might be so overwhelming that no Senator will jeopardize his political career by voting against the removal of Cheney from office. The vote might be unanimous to remove Cheney.
Pelosi’s scheme would be self destructive if reporters began to question her crazy contradiction. Unfortunately, people just accept her premise that regardless of the outcome from an impeachment investigation, Pelosi knows how the Senate will vote. That prediction is never questioned and the results will never be known if Pelosi is allowed to prevent the Constitutional obligation to investigate the specific indictment contained in H Res 333.
Pelosi’s scheme completely disregards the cost in lives and money to keep Bush & Cheney as Commander in Chief of our military force in Iraq. Her scheme is to be able to blame them throughout the 2008 election campaign for a political advantage. She believes her nefarious scheme will elect Democrats to power again the way it did in 2006.
In light of the betrayal for not opposing the war, the primary reason Democrats were elected in 2006, her political advantage is likely to backfire if there is a progressive movement for a major primary slaughter of incumbent Democrats. As a part of the drum beat to impeach Cheney first, progressives need to undress the Pelosi phony scheme to build a record by preventing any investigation mandated by H Res 333.
Dear Madam Speaker of the
Dear Madam Speaker of the house,
There is a record.
It Skips.
Maybe you need a new record player.
Robert Knowles for Impeachment
Count me in on impechment of Bush and Cheney.
They are the most corrupt in any of American history.
Enough Already!
IMPEACHMENT is the only way to bring our country back from the evil-doers!
You Took Oath To Defend The Constitution
If you think Dems will gain a political advantage by keeping impeachment of Cheney and Bush off the table. Perhaps you should be removed from office by voters because you did not honor your oath to protect our Constitution. SHAME ON YOU. This is about America and the future of our Democracy not the future of your party.
vote to impeach Bush & Cheney
MY wife and I Want to vote to Impeach
BUSH & Chaney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!!!
PLEASE FOR THIS!!!
impeach bush & chaney
Not just impeach but try before a court of law for profiting from a war which they have the power to declair. How can we trust them when our job is done over in the sandbox and when is it just being drug on for profit sake. The ones who profit off war are our leaders we put in office. i think we should screen them much closer to see if there are any conflict of interests when it comes to runing a country for profit
IMPEACHMENT NOW, not "later" or "never", dammit!!!!
IMPEACH GEORGE W. BUSH and DICK CHENEY NOW!!!!!
Just name ANYONE in government who has done more to deserve impeachment!!!!
You are JUST AS GUILTY as the Liar-in-Chief if you DO NOTHING to stop this inaction when it is THOROUGHLY JUSTIFIED and can be supported by all of the evidence. IMPEACHMENT is not only justified, it is IMPERITIVE that Congress and the House begin such immediate action if it is fulfill its duties as a law abiding body in government.
NO MORE WISHY-WASHY INACTION WHEN IT COMES TO IMPEACHMENT OF BUSH AND CHENEY. NOW!!!!
Rep. Nancy Pelosi Speaker of
Rep. Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House:is a disgrace! Impeachment Is Off The Table? I tell you she sold us out.I voted democrat to end the war. Thinking the Democrats would stand up to Bush and Cheney's impeachable crimes. Let me tell you I've done my home-work,and so has Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Our country as I see it is being run by a tyrant regime,all the while Congress feeds the war machine. Giving Bush a blank check for this falsified invasion of Iraq to continue. How much more of our childrens blood will flow because Congress sold the American people out,because Congress doe's nothing! By doing nothing you validate more death. Tell me you we're not lied to by Bush and Cheney to go into this war. Show me your justification for prolonging this National Tragedy.Impeach Bush and Cheney,and do your job Pelosi,stand up too why you were voted in. Well I wrote my Reps. Yeah the Dems sold us out big-time. Not again,I expect them to answer to me where they stand in writing.These Reps set around with flowery speaches,do they have dead sons or daughters... I say recall all the liars.
God Help Us,Congress hasn't yet.
ForTruth, you are correct when you take...
on Nancy Pelosi for not doing what she should be doing. She has not met with her constituents in the Bay Area in a couple of years now. When faced with demonstrators in front of her house in SF, she told them that they were bothering her neighbors and to just go away.
We all realize that. However, when you castigate Democrats--you are not one I note--you cast slurs against the very people who have been attacking this misadministration for the past 7 years. Have you got any 'Indie' clout in this congress? Doesn't look like it.
The activists within the Dem party have been fighting the good fight and doing all that we can do to get rid of Bushco. One of our problems is people like you who are not Dems and who come in here and tell us what WE need to do.
You want to join OUR party and help us? Or do you want to sit on the sidelines and criticize?
Many of us(Dems)get irritated when Indies, Greens, Other-Lefts, and in some cases, Libertarians come in here to pick.
We, the American people, have a problem. Will our country survive? Dunno at this point.
The congress elected Pelosi, Reid, and Hoyer to their positions. Only their own constituents have the ability to correct them--they will not respond to those of us from other states.
A mind once expanded can never return to its original dimensions.

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
Obama, Edwards, Oprah(?) vs Hillary
Experience can't be wished upon . You earn it. I want to be a pilot I need to pay my dues I just don't tell everyone I'm unique and can fly a 747. Sen. Edwards where are your southern manners? You have constantly dragged Hillary through the mud she's been dragged through before. Spend more time trying to win your own state not slinging republican mud. Don't blame Hillary because you don't have the numbers and voters are weary of you. Sen. Obama, I'm from Illinois and really haven't you been vocal and old school Washington lately. Oprah is a very decent human being and her contributions to society have been great, but she can't come up with a health care program for you. She just lavished her audience with gifts from her "favorite things" show. Yeah that will resonate with voters who have never had a $300.00 desert. That's $100.00 less than Edwards pays for a haircut.(yeah your'e for the working class-right) If you would ever watch Oprah and you probablly have you will notice that her audience seems hand picked and appear to be like the "Stepford Wifes" all dressed in expensive clothes and all those accessories. You don't see people like that on Letterman, Leno, Ferguson.etc. She caters to the upper class and gives to the poor. Her "favorite things" should be helping out the poor not giving them cashmiere sweaters.You might as well bring your real estate buddy Tony Resko with you as well. Remember Tony don't you? He's the guy who gave you those sweetheart real estate deals in Chicago. When are you going to come clean on that? Hillary has the experience and you just can't click your heals three times and get experience Sen. Obama. What is Oprah going to do, hand out Fois Gras to your supporters? You took pac money too. I'm remindeded of a saying in the Godfather part 3 where Michael Corleone tells one of his people to tell his enemy, "Power destroys people that don't have any" No experience does also. This is one tough woman. Don't you think she's been through this before? Your health plan looks watered down and unfinished. She's been on this for over 20 years.I'm not saying that one day you won't be president I just know that we need experience now more than ever and a fighter not a dreamer who needs Oprahs help.Sen. Edwards, while running as Sen. John Kerrys' v.p. in the last election you lost your own state. What does that tell America? Come up with a better health care plan, quit ther negativity and the double bubble attacks on Hillary with Sen.Obama and Sen. Obama fight the clean fight you told America you would fight.You want to bring up Monica o.k., 80 % of people getting married end in divorced and Hillarys' still married.Remember power and lack of experience destroys people that don't have any.As far as the republicans this is better than a good comedy. You have Rudy who used 9/11 as a photo op mostly although he did help NYC, but ask the real heros of 9/11 and they never went on the talk show circut.Any assertation that Rudy has cleaned up the alledged outfit in New York is a joke and Rudy knows it.Why he and Mitt have been endorsed by the evangilican far right, or as I prefer to say , people making a buck of Christ and visit their pages in Congress and public bathroom encounters. In short the very things they claim they are against. Sen. Obama, be yourself debate the issues and quit the personal attacks on Hillary because of course you want to change Washington. Yep you and Resko haven't changed and it will be more of the same. Fess up and have Oprah buy you a $300.00 desert. Should you continue this watered down health care plan and attacks on Hillary that are senseless you may have trouble in Illinois. The electoral votes, election and getting re elected because you are comming accross as too brash and people remeber that. Romney Hillary hasn't owned a country store, but her parents didn't hand her a trust fund either and you are wasting your own money on your own campaign. Give it to charity or have fois gras with Oprah.
CONGRESS
THE TRUBLE IS THERE ARE ONLY MAYBE 30 GOOD MEN IN CONGRESS.ALL INCUMBANTS NEED TO GO.BOTH SIDES,THE PORK HAS TO STOP,THE SPECIAL INTREST NEED TO LOSE THAT REVOLEING DOOR OF SENATORS,IF ANY CONGRESS MAN COMITTES A CRIME THEY NEED TO LOSE THERE PENSTIONS.
impeach the sob
I was first a Bush supporter, but now after 7 years of bad decisions, the guy needs to go and take abou 70 senators and 250 rep. with him too. That the problem with impeaching someone on policies, their several hundred that needs to go with him. If wackos that compare him to Hitler and Stalin, heads this impeach bush compaign, then no one will take you seriously. Yes he didn´t deserve to have his name capilize. Go Obama!!!! ps sorry about the spelling. I talk in the public school system.
Treason, High Crimes and Misdemeanors
It's nice to think that we are safe with a Democrat in the White house next year - but criminals are still holding the world hostage and keeping us under the thumb of tyranny. I only takes a second to push the button and begin a nuclear war that would precipitate a "State of Emergency" that would allow Bush to suspend elections and impose martial law - thus tearing the last threads of the republic and beginning the begining of the empire.
We may just be running under the illusion of a new direction
For those just biding their time until 2009, think again.
The old Military industrial Complex just changed their names and went in 1997 to Project for a New American Century now go again as various charitable organizations to include Bradley Blakeman's FREEDOM'S WATCH...
Neo-Cons have wrenched the control of this country from the hands of the people (though it only took a slight tug)
We have ignored our history and in ignoring our history, we have doomed ourselves to the continued take over by those who want nothing but complete world domination and control...Follow the oil, that slick black goo will lead you to the killing fields of Iraq straight to Bin Laden's uncle in the House of Saud and back to the White House and into the Senate and House...
"He tried to kill my Daddy", the war cry of the marionnette in his lead up to the WAR ON IRAQ. The puppet placed in office by those from the PNC - Jeb, Dick, Rummy, Wolfowitz...the list of members reads like a "Who's Who" in the DC Republican Party and are housed in the White House or close to it...They hedged their bets in 2000 by having 3 candidates run....George, the sotted bro of Jeb, and two additional brothers of their cabal - all card carryin' members of the PNC. From Quayle to Forbes, they had the country by the balls and who says they will give it up in 2009?
"Bush & Co" have put just enough in place to declare Martial Law at their whim and have the ability to hire their friendly mercenaries to try to maintain as they did in Louisiana when they put in Blackwater. From John Warner's Defense Auth Act for 2007 to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 and National Security Presidential Directive 51, they set up their Homeland Security as the judge and jury to pull the power out of the hands of the state
If I had not read these and followed this issue, I would say, like many, that this is very conspiratorial and bordering on delusional but the only delusion is the delusion that we need only wait for the election of 2008 for our salvation, our deliverance from the hands of the Boy Bush king wanna-be and the evil within.
Some of us know but do nothing; some of us scream but it falls on the deaf ears of those just trying to survive...Have we given thought to the possibility that the best way to gain control of a people is to force them into survival mode so they can't pay attention to what is going on behind the scenes? Like the Great Wizard in the Wizard of Oz "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain; Pay attention to me the Great and Powerful Oz" The big picture is lost when one is too worried about grasping that little bit of existance...The Middle Class is dying at the hands of an administration that has hocked us to China, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and of course Dubai (Home to Halliburton)...creating this most pampered "3rd world nation" that produces nothing but war and imports everything else
Like Dorothy, it is time to pour a bit of water on the wicked witch....and destroy their "beautiful wickedness"
IMPEACH, Try, Convict
