John Nirenberg, of Brattleboro, VT, completed a walk from Boston to Washington, D.C. (yes, that’s right, he walked all the way), to insist to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush and Richard Cheney be put “back on the table.”
Nirenberg began his impassioned trek, under the banner of “March In My Name,” on Saturday, December 1st, at Boston’s Faneuil Hall, the place where earlier Americans gathered to plan their resistance to King George. He arrived in D.C. Saturday after marching for 40 days.

“We voted for change in 2006, but the Democrats aren’t doing what we elected them to do. The war goes on; the torture continues. Torture! Can you believe we actually discuss water-boarding, and the ‘legality’ of beating prisoners until they’re just short of organ failure and death? And what about suspending the right of habeas corpus? And of conducting illegal spying on American citizens? What has happened to this country — and how have we let it happen?
“How did Speaker Pelosi ever think of taking impeachment off the table? If Congress abrogates its responsibility to hold this administration accountable for flagrant disregard of the Constitution and for egregious law breaking — thus giving a virtual pardon to obvious lawbreakers and silently amending the Constitution to grant the executive powers given to Congress, how can we speak to the rest of the world of the genius of our system of checks and balances, if we allow it to be so dangerously imbalanced? How do we explain to our children what we are supposed to be fighting for in Iraq?”
“No, the Bush/Cheney administration must be investigated for their complete disregard for the U.S. Constitution. That’s why I’m on this campaign, that’s why I literally walked my talk: I want more and more Americans to become aware of this appalling situation — and to do something about it.

Boycott General Electric
General Electric corporate family member NBC has rewritten its criteria for including candidates in debates specifically to exclude a real peace candidate, Dennis Kucinich. GE is a major weapons manufacturer.
Less than 44 hours after NBC sent a congratulatory note and an invitation to Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich to participate in the Jan. 15 Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas, the network notified the campaign that it was changing it announced criteria, rescinding its invitation, and excluding Kucinich from the debate.
Contact your congress member and your local media.
Tell GE you will boycott its products and why.

I-Team: Las Vegas Judge Rules in Favor of Dennis Kucinich Lawsuit
A Las Vegas judge has ruled that Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich must be included in the Tuesday night presidential debate in Las Vegas.

http://www2.lasvegasnow.com/docs/kucinich.pdf
Kucinich filed a lawsuit against NBC. He said he was initially invited to be in the nationally televised debate but the offer was later rescinded. Base on the earlier invitation, Judge Charles Thompson ruled in Kucinich's favor saying if he isn't included, he will issue an injunction stopping the debate.

The judge met with lawyers from both sides Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. and indicated that he would sign a formal order at 8 a.m. Tuesday. The attorneys for NBC claim the state court has no jurisdiction in this matter, and they have decided to appeal the decision to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as well as John Edwards are the only three candidates invited to the debate.

Kucinich OK'd for Debate, Appeal Planned
25 minutes ago
LAS VEGAS (AP) — NBC News said Monday it will appeal a judge's ruling rather than include Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich in a candidates' debate in Nevada.
"We disagree with the judge's decision and are filing an appeal," said a statement provided by Jeremy Gaines, a vice president for MSNBC, sponsor of Tuesday night's debate. Gaines said the parent network would seek an immediate hearing before the Nevada Supreme Court.
Hours earlier, Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson ruled that Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, must be allowed to participate. If he is excluded, Thompson said he would issue an injunction to stop the televised debate.
Kucinich's lawyer had argued that MSNBC at first invited him to participate, then last week reversed course and told him he could not.
A lawyer for the network said MSNBC decided to go with the top three candidates after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.
Thompson called it a matter of fairness and said Nevada voters will benefit by hearing from more than just top contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.
The cable network and the Democratic Party have promoted the debate as a chance for the candidates to be questioned about issues from Nevada's minority communities. Tim Russert and Brian Williams are the scheduled moderators.
Kucinich learned of the judge's decision when he was handed a note during an interview with Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto.
"Holy smokes! I just found out. I have to get off the phone now. I have to make plans to go to Nevada," Kucinich said.
That’s Enough For The Moment!
