Kucinich Delivered Articles of Impeachment Against Bush!
2008-06-09 19:03:00 Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich presented 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush to the House of Representatives yesterday. The House session was televised live on C-SPAN, and today is getting some noticeable media coverage (that's always an issue with these things: will the media cover it?). Thank you, Rep. Kucinich. Bless you and namaste. Thank you for the courage to do what needs to be done. Sure, there may be six months left of the most horrendous administration in history, but justice, although it's gotten a bit dusty and rusty from lack of use over the past seven years, is still a worthy ideal. Other presidents have gotten impeached for canoodling. How about impeachment for an illegal war that has devastated an entire country, costs thousands of American lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian lives, and, um, bankrupted the U.S.?

Footnote Re Ivan Bell Impeachment by Standards Committee
2008-05-29 22:22:00 Regarding our previous story that we ran on Ivan Bell's imminent hearing before the Standards Committee regarding his conduct being allegedly at variance with the Council's Conduct Code we should have mentioned that Councillor Bell is a "prospective" - or as he tends to put it "perspective" -Independent Candidate for the High Peak at the next General Election.It is also worth pointing out at this stage that we believe the Standards Committee to have been set up by none other than that paragon of official good conduct John Prescott during his time as the Minister for Environment, Transport and the Regions, or possibly as Deputy PM.Although John Prescott was not averse using his offices and official time when in highly salaried position to dally with his Diary Secretary, Tracy Temple, he did not come before his own or any Standards Committee nor did he feel it necessary to resign from his post for using paid time in this way.Is there a lesson there for Councillor Bell possibly?

Impeachment Now Or Apocalypse Later?
2008-04-25 09:36:00 by Dr. Bernard Weiner The political noose seems to be tightening on the key members of the remaining miscreants down in the White House bunker — mainly Bush, Cheney, Rice, Addington and Mukasey. (Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Powell and Tenet were pushed out the door earlier.) But will the Democrats, having been provided with smoking gun-type evidence of these officials' high crimes and misdemeanors, take the next logical step to end this continuing nightmare of law-breaking at the highest levels? Consider: TORTURE AUTHORIZED FROM ON HIGH After eight years, the multiple examples of ethical and felonious crimes of the Bush Administration are now abundantly clear and beyond rational dispute. Most compelling among them is the crime of authorizing torture as state policy. In recent days, we've learned that Geoge W. Bush signed orders authorizing torture, and admitted that he approved of the deliberations by his National Security Council's Principals Committee on the torture re...

Impeachment Vote This Week - Go New Hampshire - Make Us Proud!
2008-04-13 21:20:00 The deepest core of every American soul holds a painful shame, an embarrassed humiliation that most today feel impotent to address. Our forefathers recognized that there would be times when the government’s executive and legislative branches could become so corrupted and unreliable to protect the Constitution that it would be up to the people. So they gave us a special tool, mentioned no less than six times in our Constitution, to use for a remedy.a Unfortunately, “the word” spoken today conjures a vast array of emotional responses with little real understanding of a constitutional process, historically grounded, which we seem to fear. House Resolution 24 is expected to be voted on April 16 by the New Hampshire House Representatives. This will be an historic vote – the first time a state legislature will attempt to petition the U.S. Congress to begin investigations to determine if there is sufficient cause/evidence to hold our current leaders accountable as stipulated in ...

New Hampshire Impeachment Update - Cheney and Bush
2008-03-08 19:04:00 Concord, NH —- March 8, 2008 New Hampshire citizens made their first big push to get impeachment back on the table when close to a hundred overflowed a statehouse hearing room to testify in favor of Representative Hall’s House Resolution, -HR24- calling for the impeachment of the President and Vice President to commence in the US Congress. This resolution cites paragraph 603 in the parliamentary rules of Jefferson’s Manual, which Congress still adheres to today. Jefferson recognized that there would be times when the executive and legislative branches could become corrupt and unreliable to protect the Constitution. So he made special provision for the branch of State government that is most directly related to the people - the State House of Representatives - to be able to draft impeachment resolutions and send them to the U.S. Congress as a privileged motion, going directly to the floor of the Congress for debate and action. The New Hampshire House of Repres...
