Impeachment Committee

We are forming an Impeachment Committee for the California 51st Congressional District. Your help is needed. Contact me at J.Hess@cox.net.

Our first event will be participation in the national Dec. 10 Human Rights and Impeachment Day. The local event is sponsored by Progressive Democrats of America, Metro San Diego Chapter.

Our event is: Town Hall Forum on Presidential Accountability.

It is TENTATIVELY set to take place Dec. 10 at 2pm at Friendship Park in Chula Vista, next to the main library. However, we are still developing plans, depending on Bob Filner's availability and the need to have a large event. So Joyce Beers Center may be the alternate venue.

Our invitations are out to speakers Rep. Bob Filner, Candidate for 49th District Jeeni Criscenzo, and Marjorie Cohn, incoming president of the National Lawyers Guild and author of books and articles, including "American Prison Camps Are On The Way".

Please contact J.Hess@cox.net to participate and help. If you title your email Presidential Accountability, I can get to it a little more quickly.

Meanwhile, please print, if you can, the below, and download the petition form and start collecting signatures.

Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney

I ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.

4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.

6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.

9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.

We will schedule a meeting with Bob Filner at his office before he is sworn in in January, to discuss the issues with him and present the signatures.

We will organize, and democracy shall prevail.

Thank you for your support!
