AP is carrying Dennis' Impeachment resolution

[flvegan]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential contender, said Monday he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi consistently has said impeachment was "off the table."

Kucinich, D-Ohio, read his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. He contended Bush deceived the nation and violated his oath of office in leading the country into the Iraq war.

Kucinich introduced a resolution last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. That resolution was killed, but only after Republicans initially voted in favor of taking up the measure to force a debate.

Kucinich won 50 percent of the vote in a five-way House Democratic primary in March, beating back critics who said he ignored business at home to travel the country in his quest to be president.

If your locals carry it, rate it up. If you see it in the MSM, talk it up.

Yet.

7. where the h*ll is the full text of the resolution/articles?

kucinich's own site doesn't have it anyplace obvious. i realize i'm excited, but.

this makes me think they've been working on it up 'til the last minute.

8. I give Kucinich credit to hopefully have played these cards close to the vest

You'll see them tomorrow, I'll bet.

[snot]

12. the fact that they're not on his site

makes me think they've been working on them frantically up 'til the last minute.

thank god for heroes like kucinich that are willing to bear the brunt for the rest of them.

14. That may well be, you make a fine point.

It was really quite inclusive. And awesome.

9. Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich defied his party leadership on Monday by calling for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush for launching the Iraq war -- but his move was not expected to go anywhere.

The Ohio representative outlined his intention to propose more than two dozen charges against Bush on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Kucinich, a former presidential candidate, accused Bush executing a "calculated and wide-ranging strategy" to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she opposes trying to remove the Republican president who leaves office next January because such an attempt would be divisive and most likely unsuccessful.

Kucinich, an outspoken Iraq war critic who has consistently voted against funding the war and led anti-war efforts in Congress, offered a resolution to impeach Vice president Dick Cheney in April 2007. That also failed to move forward.

Many Democrats and civil liberties groups have accused the Bush administration of providing misleading information before the 2003 Iraq invasion as well as violating the rights of U.S. citizens with its warrantless surveillance program. The White House denies the charges.

11. he "read" his proposed impeachment language?

It says he "read his proposed impeachment language" (past tense). Wasn't it in the process of being read when this article was written?

[flvegan]

13. I'm sure that

it was written with the belief that Dennis wouldn't otherwise stop, collapse, start juggling in a clown suit, etc.

[Chulanowa]

18. I don't know, he might collapse

I'm sure that's a LOT of reading to go through!

[lonestarnot]

15. No need to worry about that!

16. K&R!

Dennis Kucinich deserves our thanks today.

I'm not a disgruntled supporter from the primaries. I agreed with most of what he had to say, but it was obvious he wasn't going to be the nominee.

No, he deserves our thanks and gratitude for standing on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this afternoon and reading the thirty-five Articles of Impeachment of George W. Bush.

Read them here as soon as they're available.

Even for those who say, "We must look forward, we know how bad the Bush administration has been, but why waste our time on this," must stop and listen.

The breadth and length of Kucinich's articles are astonishing. They sum up Bush's evil reign succinctly and to hear them recited been said on the floor of Congress makes me wonder how American could have possibly put up with this despotic murderer and thief for so long.
