**** Daily Call for IMPEACHMENT! ****

[berni_mccoy]

Have you contacted your congressmen today? It's ok to just e-mail since it's Sunday, but DO IT.

Call tomorrow. Let them know you can't stand the criminals in office.

And if they say ending the Iraq War is more important, tell them the soldiers are sworn to protect the Constitution and that they will understand. It's also going to be the fastest way to end the war. The War won't end by passing a resolution that is not veto-proof. And Bush hasn't listened to Congress anyway, so what makes your rep think Bush will listen to a little ol' resolution from quaint ol' Congress.

IMPEACH! NOW!

:kick: the Criminals OUT OF OUR WHITEHOUSE!!!!

1. Isn't it odd? It's like our members of Congress don't understand their

Constitutional duties, or even the role of the Legislative Branch. They seem almost as clueless as Emperor Dipshit.

Why We Need More Investigations Like Cheney Needs More Power

Their crimes stand open on the table before us. Their lies about Iraqi ties to al Qaeda are on videotape and in writing, and they continue to make them to this day. Their claims about Iraqi weapons have been shown in every detail to have been, not mistakes, but lies. Their threats to Iran are on videotape. Bush being warned about Katrina and claiming he was not are on videotape. Bush lying about illegal spying and later confessing to it are on videotape. A federal court has ruled that spying to be a felony. The Supreme Court has ruled Bush and Cheney's system of detentions unconstitutional. Torture, openly advocated for by Bush and Cheney and their staffs, is documented by victims, witnesses, and public photographs. Torture was always illegal and has been repeatedly recriminalized under Bush and Cheney. Bush has reversed laws with signing statements. Those statements are posted on the White House website, and a GAO report found that with 30 percent of Bush's signing statements in which he announces his right to break laws, he has in fact proceeded to break those laws. For these and many other offenses, no investigation is needed because no better evidence is even conceivable. And rather than taking three months, the impeachment of Cheney or Bush could be completed in a day.

But the investigations that Congress has pursued at its glacial pace over the past six months, while thousands upon thousands died, have produced another impeachable offense, the refusal to comply with subpoenas. That is what President Richard Nixon did; and his refusal to comply with subpoenas constituted the offense cited in one of the three Articles of Impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974 as warranting "impeachment and trial, and removal from office."

Bush and Cheney are claiming executive privilege. Nixon also tried that one. It didn't work then; and it won't work now. Condoleezza Rice is claiming, with more frankness, that she's just not inclined to comply. Even Nancy Pelosi ought to understand by now that the removal of the threat of impeachment is what empowers the White House to ignore subpoenas, and that the threat of impeaching the White House for its stonewalling would break down the wall even before we reached impeachment.
