The Impeachment Movement

TELL OUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT OF BUSH AND CHENEY NOW

There is a growing slate of progressive candidates all over the country now taking the strong stand that the people demand, calling for the immediate impeachment of bush and cheney before they can do any more harm to our national security and our economy. For example, in California, there are at least three progressive candidates in Los Angeles alone speaking out for impeachment now. Consider these words of Bob McCloskey, running for the U.S. Congress from the 29th district of California:

A President cannot commit a more serious crime against our democracy than lying to Congress and the American people to get them to support a military action or war. It is not just cowardly and abhorrent to fool others into giving their lives for a nonexistent threat; it is that the decision to go to war, in a democracy, must be made by the people and their representatives. Given that the consequence is death for tens of thousands of people and the diversion of billions of dollars to the war effort, the fraud cannot be tolerated. The President should be impeached for committing fraud.

On December 17, 2005, president bush admitted he repeatedly authorized wire taps without obtaining a warrant. Thousands of calls were monitored and the information obtained widely circulated among Federal agencies. These warrantless wiretaps violate FISA, which requires court approval for national security wire taps. Violation of the FISA is a felony. Recent revelations regarding the warrantless monitoring of millions of emails and phone calls by the NSA under authorization from the president are further violations of FISA and the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The president should be impeached for committing these felonies.

In addition, it is imperative that a full investigation be undertaken regarding president bush's role in the systematic torture and abuse of detainees. Violating his oath of office, the Geneva Convention, and the War Crimes Act constitute impeachable offenses.

Upon taking office, the President took an oath in which he swore to take care that the laws would be faithfully executed. He has been guilty of such gross incompetence or reckless indifference to his obligation to execute the laws faithfully as to call into question whether he takes his oath seriously or is capable of doing so. Our nation has no choice but to impeach the president.

This alert is brought to you by the activism of Bob McCloskey, candidate for U.S House from the 29th Congressional District of California. Fighting for the rights of all Americans is why Bob is running for Congress, and he's not waiting until the election to start fighting for Louisiana and the rest of America.

When we talk about taking back Congress, that is what we will have to do-- TAKE IT. Nobody is going to give us anything we won't give to ourselves. And when we donate to a candidate like Bob McCloskey who is showing just the kind of leadership we need, we can make an example of him, and show other candidates that if they show real backbone they will get the support of the people too.

If each of us will just contribute what we can, to the most worthy candidates we can find, it will make a real difference in the kind of Congress we will all have to deal with in 2007. Most importantly, strong showings NOW by candidates who DO have a backbone, and WILL stand up and fight, can send a powerful message to the rest that they better start shaping up or we will ship them out too. Make your donation today and it will have cascading positive effects in many other races for months to come.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
