2,000 Reasons to Impeach Bush

Dear XXXXX,

Twenty five months after George W. Bush arrogantly taunted the Iraqi resistance with his famous “Bring 'em On” statement, the 2,000th U.S. soldier has been killed in Iraq. The Iraqi death toll is astronomical. More than 100,000 died according to a report issued nearly one year ago by the British medical journal Lancet.

Every human being killed in the “shock and awe” war and occupation has died because Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Karl Rove and Lewis Libby engaged in a calculated pattern of lies and deceit to convince Congress and the people that Iraq posed a “grave and imminent danger” to the United States. They continued their vicious campaign after the first phase of the war against any and all who tried to expose the truth.

Rove and Libby, acting on the behest of their superiors in this campaign, are now on the hot seat as the Special Prosecutor nears the conclusion of his investigation. As Bush loses all credibility, as his poll ratings drop to below 40%, as the people of this country decisively turn against the war of aggression in Iraq, it is likely that the administration will attempt to slip out of the circle of accountability.

The people of this country - not the politicians - have been exposing the crimes of the Bush Administration from day one. This has been a remarkable exercise in grass roots democracy ever since Ramsey Clark initiated the VoteToImpeach/ImpeachBush.org movement on January 18, 2003. Bush is in trouble. His arrogant in-the-saddle pose has given way to a mad scramble to divert attention and escape responsibility for the High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed during the last five years.

Whatever the outcome of the Grand Jury investigation, justice requires that Rove and Libby’s bosses be held accountable. The Constitutional mechanism is impeachment.

The People are on the Move, Demanding Impeachment!
The Time is Right to Reach Millions

Over 300,000 people joined the anti-war demonstration in Washington D.C. on September 24. “Impeach Bush” was the most popular chant. ImpeachBush.org banners and signs were everywhere. Thanks to the generous support of ImpeachBush.org/VotetoImpeach members, we were able to erect a huge tent in front of the White House emblazoned with the call for impeachment which served as a meeting place and educational materials distribution point. Immediately following the demonstration tens of thousands of letters flooded Congress demanding that Bush be impeached.

Now the movement is raising funds to take out full page newspapers ads and commercial radio spots. Many have contributed but we are not there yet. We are eager to place a full page ad in the New York Times and other newspaper and radio ads in the next few weeks. The time is right. We can reach millions more with the message of impeachment but we need your help. Click here to donate online or to send a check.

We need to raise $30,000 right away to begin placing the new ads. The impeachment movement has momentum and is making great progress but it is entirely dependent on the donations and contributions of those who believe that this effort is critical to the future of the country.

Please make a donation now to help take out the next round of newspaper ads and radio spots. To make a donation now click here.

In the next few days the special Grand Jury will make its report and possible indictments. The ImpeachBush.org movement will keep people updated about the impact of this and other events in the coming days and weeks. Everyone should feel proud that this grassroots campaign is becoming a central factor in the political process.
