If any president deserved to be impeached its the current occupant of the bunker at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. In what is probably an unprecedented and widespread effort from below, petitions to the U.S. House demanding impeachment proceedings against George W. Bushwack have been introduced in these states: California, Hawaii, Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington, Wisconsin and Vermont. Maine is the latest to join this distinction.
As the body count from the ridiculous 'surge' escalates in Iraq, and a delusional Commander in Chief utters inflammatory nonsense everyday, it is became increasingly hard for the House leadership to prevent a vote on the issue. Call the sympathetic Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Representative John Conyers (D-MI) and demand, "Impeachment now."
Weekend Update: The leaders of the House Congressional Progressive Caucus have signed on to Rep. Dennis Kucinich's HB 333 instigating impeachment proceedings against Vice President 'Darth' Cheney. Lynn Woolsey and Barbara Lee, Democrats from California have personally endorsed the measure. Four other progressive legislators have also endorsed. There is some political and legal sense in trying to bring Cheney to account first, although I continue to think that the President as head of government is responsible for his Cabinet officer's actions as well as his own. Cheney headed up the rogue intelligence operation located in the Pentagon that provided dubious data so the war could be justified to Congress. However, Cheney certainly did not develope this irregular procedure on his own authority. Call it sedition? I call it real patriotism, and we have company too. Fifteen state Democratic parties and 77 cities and towns have passed resolutions calling for impeachement. Take your government back by contacting your representatives in Congress and Chairman Conyers and demand, "Impeachment now."
