Impeachment

Bill Maher brings up "Pet Goat incident" on 1st show back w/ Mark Cuban, Catherine Crier, Tony Snow, Matt Taibbi and PJ O'Rourke

Just ran into the clips of Bill Maher's 1st show back and there were some interesting moments to be had. Reflecting on last year, I still think his big interruption moment of 2007 was rejuvenative on all accounts. Yes, it could have been done with a little bit more finessing, but more important is that it was done. The perfect could have become the enemy of the good in this case. And it got people talking. We need more interruptions done strategically. What we want is people talking, debating, raising the issue. There are many fronts and faces in this challenge. The civil rights movement successfully found a place for the different strategies and styles of Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and MLK. Bill Maher and the rest of corporate media have a long election year ahead of them. It could get more interesting than anyone can imagine.

How About an Impeachment Truth Movement?

by Rob Kall

Oh, by the way, the term "Impeachment Truth" is a meme inspired by 9/11 Truth. There is every reason to believe that impeachment hearings could be used to open up blocked passages to getting answers abou 9/11. I would think that 9/11 Truthers would jump on this bandwagon enthusiastically. Then, we already have the Kucinich people on board. But what about Ron Paul supporters? Why aren't they, why isn't Ron Paul clamoring for the truths impeachment hearings could bring? Ron Paul is a truthy kind of guy. Maybe he needs to be asked-- by the tens of thousands of supporters who have contributed to his campaign. A bi-partisan support for impeachment hearings would be a good step forward.

A Signature Per Second on Impeachment Petition

Well-known writer Dave Lindorff says that Congressman Wexler's petition for the impeachment of Dick Cheney is getting almost one signature per second.

The failure to understand the nature of the enemy who attacked us on 9/11, along with a pre-determined decision to initiate a pre-emptive war against Iraq, prompted our government to deceive the people into believing that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the attacks on New York and Washington.

Open Letter to John Conyers

Honorable John Conyers
Chairman, House Judiciary Committee

Chairman Conyers:

I write to urge your immediate action on House Resolution 799, Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Cheney. Abundant evidence already in the public domain indicates he has violated his Oath of Office and is guilty of "high crimes" against the Constitution of the United States.

In addition to the three articles authored by Rep. Kucinich, Vice President Cheney must be investigated for (Article IV) his well-documented role in authorizing the use of torture against "enemy combatants"--including US citizens--in violation of US and International Law http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/20/torture/index.html
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/11/18/torture.vp/index.html , and (Article V) his evident false testimony to the 9/11 Commission regarding his actions on September 11, 2001, as revealed by the testimony of Norman Mineta before the 9/11 Commission archived here:
http://www.9-11commission.gov/archive/hearing2/9-11Commission_Hearing_2003-05-23.htm

Take Action to Impeach Cheney for 9/11 Crimes!

This just in:

"Yesterday in a stunning development, a bipartisan majority of Congress rejected the attempt to kill the privileged resolution
brought by Dennis Kucinich to impeach Vice President Cheney, for his unprecedented constitutional high crimes. Instead the bill was sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which is exactly where we want it to build momentum. Now all we have to do is pressure them to follow through, and impeachment will be a reality."

You can take action for impeachment at:
H.Res 333 Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/hres333.php

Here is my letter to congress and to my local newspapers:

Impeach Cheney first! HR-333 (impeach Cheney) is the most important article ever to come before the House of Representatives. Strong evidence suggests that Cheney is guilty of high crimes including:

Two Highly Effective and Easy Actions On or Before 9/11.

There are two very easy and highly effective actions to take; one immediate and the other one, on or before 9/11.

The immediate action is the signing of a petition "Call to Investigate Alleged Capital Crimes Committed by Bush Administration." The target of this petition is John "slippery no backbone" Conyers who likes to talk through both sides of his mouth.

Even a whif that such crimes are being investigated would mean the political end of the Bush regime.

The second action item was started by a blogger right here and we have both acted on it; we have informed Federal Judges in Connecticut and California of acts of treason by the Bush administration. The intent is to take the issue of Impeachment away from the politicians. Actually, impeachment would be totally bypassed and we go straight to Treason Trials.

Prominent 9/11 Activists Demand Impeachment

http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/07/prominent-911-activists-demand.html

Today, which is "the fifth anniversary of the meeting that produced the Downing Street Minutes, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern ...Medea Benjamin [and others] will lead a march to Chairman Conyers office and not leave until he agrees to begin impeachment proceedings."

Sheehan, McGovern and Benjamin are all 9/11 truth activists, and thousands of other prominent 9/11 truthtellers -- such as Bob Bowman, Webster Tarpley and many, many others -- support impeachment*. There is a REASON that 9/11 activists are calling for impeachment. Not only is falsely linking Iraq to 9/11 an impeachable offense, but so -- of course -- is carrying out false flag terror and murdering American citizens.

Treason as a Basis for Impeachment

http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/07/treason-as-basis-for-impeachment.html

Most people who talk about impeachment are talking about "high crimes and misdemeanors". There are certainly many bases for impeaching Bush and Cheney based upon high crimes and misdemeanors (see, for example, Congressman Kucinich's articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney; the articles drafted by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; this website; and this one).

Kucinich introduces articles of impeachment against Cheney

The supporting documents are available here.

I don't think 9/11 is part of the charges. Basically, they say Cheney lied about WMDs in Iraq, and he's trying to pick a fight with Iran using lies.

Billy Jack

Tom Laughlin, who played the character "Billy Jack" in several movies, is pro-impeach Bush and other pro-American issues. (he has run for office, unsuccessfully) I just sent an email to him encouraging him to look into and support "9/11 Truth and Justice". Check out his website and send him a similar email. He may or may not know about "9/11 Truth", but he may eventually add his name to the growing list of pro people.
