Citizen Journalism Contest: Ask Pelosi 'What is an Impeachable Crime?'

Submitted by Bob Fertik on July 29, 2008 - 11:33am. ImpeachForChange Nancy Pelosi

Speaker Pelosi just published "Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters"*. Pelosi kicked off her book tour on The View and Joy Behar asked her, "why do you insist on not impeaching these people so that the world and America can really see the crimes that they’ve committed?" Pelosi did her best to avoid answering, but finally said:

If somebody had a crime that the president had committed, that would be a different story... unless you have the goods that this president committed these crimes.

Speaker Pelosi, meet Representative Dennis Kucinich. He's "somebody" and he "has" 35+1=36 impeachable offenses, most of them involving statutory crimes - and "the goods that this president committed" them. In fact, he presented them to Congress in the exact form specified by the Founding Fathers: Articles of Impeachment. You even gave John Conyers permission to hold a hearing on Kucinich's "crimes."

So we have a simple question to follow-up on Joy Behar's question:

Of the 36 detailed Articles of Impeachment introduced by Dennis Kucinich, do you consider any to be crimes? If yes, which? If no, why not - and what (if anything) would you consider an impeachable offense?

We will ask this question through Speaker Pelosi's office, but we've never received an answer to our questions. So we're also announcing a Citizen Journalism Contest: we'll pay up to $1,000 to any progressive citizen (or journalist) who succeeds in getting a direct and substantive answer to this question, and records it on video or audio tape for publication on Democrats.com.

$1,000 to Ask Pelosi a Question: She's Coming to a Town Near You

Submitted by davidswanson on Tue, 2008-07-29 01:00. Activism Congress Impeachment

We'll gladly pay you $1,000 to ask Nancy Pelosi a question.

Pelosi told "The View" today that she'd impeach Bush if anybody knew of a crime he'd committed, just as she told Ed Schultz a year ago. Here's a list of crimes (PDF) drawn up by Conyers 2.5 years ago. And here's a list of crimes (PDF) from Kucinich's articles of impeachment drawn up by Elizabeth de la Vega.

Could a few thousand people fax these to her please?
Fax: [phone], Phone: [phone], Email: [e-mail] or [e-mail]

Could someone also deliver them to her at her appearance with Politics and Prose bookstore of Washington, D.C., on Saturday, August 2 at 3 p.m. at Friendship Heights Village Center, 4433 S. Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland. (There is no cost for this event. Please sign up in advance by calling the Village Center at 301-656-2797.)

Bush has repeatedly instructed current and former staffers to refuse to comply with subpoenas and contempt citations.

Bush has violated numerous laws and claimed the right to do so in signing statements, as documented by the Government Accountability Office.

To watch a video of Bush admitting to violating FISA (thereby committing numerous felonies) go to the White House website here, and watch the December 19, 2005, press conference. You'll notice that Bush claims he began these crimes after September 11, 2001, which is not true; he began them earlier. You'll notice that Bush claims to have legal justification for violating the law, but those claims have completely collapsed. He also claims the spying is limited in ways that it is not. And when asked why he didn't try to change the law rather than violating it, he said he just doesn't have to because he's the president.

Does Pelosi subscribe to the belief that torture was ever legal?

Here's someone who does not: http://cindyforcongress.org
