Our effort to hold the Bush/Cheney Administration accountable has taken
another dramatic step forward. Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich
introduced the first Articles of Impeachment ever to be introduced against
President Bush. It includes, in total, thirty-five Articles detailing
this
Administration's blatant abuse of power. Today, I enthusiastically
co-sponsored this vitally im****tant bill.
I am grateful for Dennis' leader****p on this issue and for the steadfast
sup****t that countless Americans have given to both of our efforts to
redeem
our government and expose the crimes of Bush and Cheney.
I will now expand my efforts to secure impeachment hearings in the
Judiciary
Committee for these new Articles of Impeachment against President George
W.
Bush.
Many of the charges against President Bush are well known – and would
shock
the conscience of everyday Americans if only the national media would be
willing to re****t on these stark facts.
The Articles present a stunning narrative of offenses that have go well
beyond
previous crimes committed by any US chief executive. In fact no President
or
Vice President in history has done more to undermine our constitution.
These charges are broad, with 35 separate allegations including the
deliberate
lies regarding WMDs that led us to war and the approval of illegal
wiretapping
of American citizens. The Articles also include new allegations of high
crimes – including the explicit approval for high Administration officials
to
violate treaties and US law banning the use of torture.
The Democratic Party gained a majority in the House and Senate due in
large
part to our promises to end the corruption of the Republican majority and
to
hold the Administration accountable to the law. This courageous bill is a
crucial step towards fulfilling this promise, but – like the Articles
against
Cheney – they require your sup****t to convince Democrats and open-minded
Republicans to sup****t this bold but necessary action.
Time is running out so we must work together to spread the message and
apply
pressure.
First, please encourage your friends and family members to sign up at
WexlerWantsHearings.com – as it will allow us to keep in touch with you
and
speak to a wider audience. If you haven't yet put in your phone and
address,
please sign up again, as we will be doing telephone town halls in the near
future.
Second, call your representative and urge them to sup****t Impeachment
hearings.
Finally, contact newspapers, news stations, and your favorite bloggers and
urge them to re****t on this movement. We need to keep Impeachment a
significant news story until the Democratic leader****p sees the value in
it.
McClellan Agrees to Testify:
I was pleased to inform you yesterday that Judiciary Committee Chairman
Conyers met my call to have Former White House Press Secretary Scott
McClellan
testify under oath. I am thrilled to inform you that McClellan has agreed
to
testify on June 20th at 10AM. This will be the first step in what we hope
will be ongoing and deepening examinations of the stark evidence and
charges
against both President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Thank you for your continued passion and advocacy. Your sup****t means so
much
to me.
Sincerely,
Congressman Robert Wexler
