Impeachment Watch: Additional Resources and Graphic Commentary

MISSION IMPEACHMENT ACTION WORK PAGE

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.

In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

- Supreme Court Justice-William O. Douglas

We are in the twilight described by Justice William O. Douglas.

Whether we are pre-dawn or pre-dusk entirely belongs to the Committee on the Judiciary.

The overwhelming majority of Americans rely solely on your wisdom.

You must bring our Nation out into the light of day, lest we be overcome with darkness.

The impeachment movement is at a critical moment.

In response to Congressman Dennis Kucinich's attempt to force a discussion and vote on the impeachment of Dick Cheney, the Congressional switchboard was overwhelmed by a flood of calls from impeachment supporters.

We must maintain this high level of activity.

You can help.

ImpeachBush wholeheartedly supports the impeachment of Dick Cheney (House Resolution 333), as well as George W. Bush and all other high officials guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Below is a recap of the impeachment showdown on the House floor.

When Congressman Dennis Kucinich attempted to force a discussion on impeachment yesterday, it at first seemed that both the Republican Party and the Democratic leadership would agree to table the resolution.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to shirk her constitutional duties and assert that impeachment is "off the table."

But in a surprise move, knowing that the Democratic Party leadership did not want to take responsibility for impeachment -- even though its base constituency supports it -- the Republican Party conducted a parliamentary maneuver and changed their vote to help defeat the motion to table.

The motion to table the impeachment resolution failed!

By day's end, the anti-impeachment Democrats were able to maneuver out of an open discussion of Kucinich's resolution. Instead they were able to pass a motion that required Kucinich's resolution go to the House Judiciary Committee "for further study."

Kucinich's resolution said that Cheney, "in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of vice president," had "purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests."

The 11-page resolution also charged that Cheney intentionally deceived the country about a supposed relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida and has "openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States."

Impeachment is on the move.

The movement is making progress that was out of reach just a few months ago.

Make an urgently needed donation right now to help the movement continue to move forward.

Begin Impeachment Proceedings in Judiciary Committee

To: House Judiciary Committee Democrats

I urge you to begin impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney in the House Judiciary Committee immediately.

Congressman Kucinich's H.Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment for Vice President Dick Cheney, has 22 co-sponsors. On 11/6/07, 86 Democrats and 165 Republicans voted for a floor debate.

Judiciary Committee chair John Conyers wants his committee staff to "continue to consider, as a preliminary matter, the many abuses of this Administration, including the Vice President."

But the time for "preliminary consideration" by staffers is long past because the public evidence in support of H.Res. 333 is overwhelming.

There is no time to waste in holding Vice President Cheney accountable for his deliberate pre-war lies about Iraq and his threats of an unprovoked and illegal attack on Iran.
