Impeachment - Congress

Vote for war funding -- It's time to impeach Norm Dicks

Watching the coverage of the war funding bill on C-Span (a channel I never otherwise watch) I was sickened and disgusted by our so-called representatives betraying the trust of the American people, who want an end this war.  I called the office of Norm Dicks this morning (talking to the person who answered the phone; Dicks was in a meeting supposedly) and told them I was his constituent, and I'm against a yes vote on this illegal, immoral war.  Once again, this is something I don't normally do, calling my Congressional representative, but I felt compelled to act, hoping that I could make a difference with my phone call.  FAT CHANCE!  Dicks had his mind made up not to vote how those who elected him wanted.  So as far as I'm concerned HE'S FIRED!  My only question is, how do we get started on removing him from office?

Lowest congressional approval ratings in history. What are the Dems doing?

Congressional spending is out of control, the country is broke. A war is being wage by polititions not soldiers. Soldiers win! Polititions make us look like idiots. Impeach them all and start over. Pay cuts for congress and higher taxes for all elected officials. Hybrid cars not limos, greyhound not private jets, mandatory drug testing would be a good start for all of them!!!!

Steve Novick, OR-Sen candidate, joins call for impeachment

January 2, 2008 -- Today Steve launched a new feature on his campaign'’s website, urging his supporters to join the national petition to demand the House begin hearings on an impeachment resolution of Vice President Dick Cheney. Steve declared his support for impeachment investigations in September 2007, citing false statements leading up to the war and the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens in apparent contravention of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

As Steve said in a statement today:

Silicon Valley Impeachment Coalition: CA 13, 14, 15

The Silicon Valley Impeachment Coalition has been active and doing actions since Nov 06. We usually vigil for impeachment on Fridays 5:30-7pm at the corner of Castro and El Camino in Mountain View. Every Saturday afternoon we hold an Impeachment Central meeting at the San Jose Peace Center 48 S. 7th St.

We have organized and carried out meetings with Honda and Eshoo, (working on Lofgren) and are putting together town hall meetings now.

Oct 25th 2007 we have a Green Talk re: Impeachment & Upholding the Constitution in Mountain View.

Probably the easiest way to connect with the group is to go to our Meetup.com site, http://impeachbush.meetup.com/404/

Come join us to uphold and defend our constitution!

Kucinich to Submit Your Impeachment Petitions to Congress

dennis_kucinich.jpgIn a meeting Thursday, July 26th, 2007, members of ImpeachForPeace.org and After Downing Street met with Congressman Dennis Kucinich in his Washington DC office to present the Congressman with thousands of "Do It Yourself Impeachments" collected over the past few months. DIY Impeachment Memorials are actually a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson's Manual"), which empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment against any federal official themselves. These Memorials support the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

A Widening Chasm Between Congressional Democrats and Voters on Impeachment

The divide between Democratic leaders contemplating their re-election prospects in 2008 and rank-and-file Democrats is becoming a chasm--one so wide that Congressional Democrats may soon find it hard to straddle it.

The issue is impeachment.

Religious Freedom

Treason and Impeachable Acts 2007

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Statute_for_Religious_Freedom

-"The imposition of anything on a human mind, which God made to be free, is hypocritical and wrong.
-"Whereas Almighty God hath created the mind free", never coerced anyone to follow him, and the imposition of a religion by government officials is impious.
-The coercion of a person to make contributions -- especially monetary -- to a religion he doesn't support is tyrannical and creates favoritism among ministers.
-Government involvement in religious matters tends to end in the restraint of religion.

It is time to make Bush and Cheney accountable for their crimes!

Happy New Year Howard Dean!

Now that the Democratic Party has taken control of the House & Senate,
they need to carry out the wishes of the people who elected them to
office.
First: Investigate the many crimes committed by Bush and Cheney and hold
them accountable! Expose their false information about why they invaded
Iraq and set a time to re-deploy our troops to Afganistan where they
were suppose to be in the first place. Expose the lies of both Bush and
Cheney and have them impeached!!! This is what the people want you to
do! Take care of the country's business in an honest and practical way.

Congressional Debate on Why Impeachment is Necessary and Healthy for Good Government!

[I]t has been argued that we should not impeach [the President] because we should not hobble future presidents with the possibility they could be impeached for the same thing. [It has been] stated we should not impeach to punish, but rather to preserve the public trust.

Impeaching a president for lying under oath...protect[s] the public trust. Instead of acting presidential and putting the country before his own self-interest, [the President] chose his own self-interest time and time again. By doing so, he undermined the rule of law and violated his oath of office.

This is about a president of the United States lying under oath, undermining our legal process and violating his oath of office. It is about violating Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, which states the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. [The President's] actions clearly fall under the heading of high crimes and misdemeanors.
