My Congressman just co-sponsored DK's impeachment bill!!!

[Fiendish Thingy]

Just got this email from Sam Farr (D-CA), my congressman:

Knowing of your interest in making the Bush Administration accountable for its actions, I wanted to let you know that I voted with Rep. Dennis Kucinich to bring impeachment charges against the president. That vote occurred on June 11, 2008 and passed the House by a vote of 251-166.

I am a cosponsor of this current resolution, H.Res. 1258, against the president. You may be aware that Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) previously introduced H.Res. 333 calling for impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney. I am a cosponsor of that resolution as well.

Impeachment proceedings may be commenced in the House of Representatives by a Member declaring a charge of impeachment on his or her own initiative, by a Member presenting a memorial listing charges under oath, or by a Member depositing a resolution in the hopper, which is then referred to the appropriate committee.

I feel strongly that President Bush has mislead the country and done so knowingly. His actions in my opinion have not been those of an upright public servant. He has been instrumental in entangling the United States in a war that has no clear exit strategy and has damaged this nation's standing among the world community.

Though this impeachment effort still has a way to go, we have taken a big step. I will continue to work to restore integrity in our government and bring transparency to our federal policies. I appreciate your input to this debate and your dedication to good government.

Sincerely,
SAM FARR
Member of Congress
