Call Your Congressperson: Start Articles of Impeachment!
I know, I know, we don't have enough votes to make it happen, but we still need to speak out as so do our Congresspersons! We all need to stand up each and every time there is an injustice/crime committed in our name.

We now have the proof, "smoking gun" (the Downing Street Memo), that B*sh is a war criminal.

My local radio talk show here in San Diego, The Stacy Taylor Show, is having all listeners call and ask their Congressperson to start the articles of impeachment, and if the congressperson won't do it, he is asking them to come on the show to explain why.

2. I know it's my dream. Even if it never get out of the House, it would
still be in the records that it was proposed. We have to fight every time, not just when we know we will win.

WE NEED TO FORCE THE CONGRESS TO

IMPEACH GEORGE W. BUSH

Go to www.recallthecongress.com

>>>>snip

To impeach George Bush for war crimes and covertly implementing PNAC, we have to get a handle on our congress men and women.

This website is created to organize local state efforts to petition the Secretary of State or other official of each state in which laws have been established for the recall process of public officials. There are 26 states in which such laws have been established leaving 24 states in which an effort is required to petition the state legislature for enactment of such a law or alternatively where the initiative has been made law to use that vehicle to bring each state of the nation into a parity of power of its citizens to control the Federal government.

CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED



In the Waning days of the 2000 election, George Bush made an agreement with his running mate to

adopt the Policies of the Project for the new American Century or PNAC, as the agenda for

his administration should he win the election. That agreement constituted a private treaty between

himself, his running mate and the Cosigners of the policy paper called Rebuilding America’s Defenses.

At no time did he consult the Congress or seek approval of implementing that policy which affects the

relationship of the US with other nations. Nor has he been open and honest with American citizens and

voters to their detriment. Plans for implementing it were underway within days of the inauguration yet it

took the 9/11 event to bring in full implementation by way of a cover of a War on Terror.



The lawsuit seeks to establish the following findings of fact and specific legal consequences



ü An injunction by the Court to permanently enjoin Bush, et al from further implementation of PNAC without full education of the American public and the open vote of the Congress to acknowledge the implementation of it by a 2/3rds majority.



ü The President of the US may not constitutionally take it upon himself to implement a private treaty as a part of the policy of government.



ü The President of the US is not immune from lawsuit when acting outside the scope of his job description.



ü The President of the US lied to the public and to the Congress to achieve his private goals and is therefore liable.

For damages inflicted upon victims of his unlawful actions.



ü If Bush is a figure head only President deferring real authority to the Vice President as de-facto president? Is it an unconstitutional act? Discovery will produce evidence of this conduct to the court.



ü The president of the US does not have the authority to enter into clandestine arrangements to promote preemptive war or to violate US law.



ü The President of the US cannot defy his oath of office to uphold the Constitution without consequence(s).



ü Bush and Cheney should be impeached for withholding information from the public about their implementing

PNAC? While the Court has no jurisdiction to impeach, the lawsuit will seek a court finding to that effect.



ü Bush, Cheney and numerous John Does are criminally liable for pursuing private ambitions by violating the Constitution, US law and international law. Appropriate Criminal sanctions should be imposed.



ü A finding by the Court that they can be civilly held personally and financially accountable for their wrongful and unlawful acts by persons adversely affected by such conduct.

5. Impeach Bush Spring Offensive
Dear ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org member,

The arrogance of undiluted power in the hands of elected officials who are not bound to respect the law is manifesting its deadly consequences every day as Bush's Iraq invasion unravels into non-stop bloodshed and carnage. The human toll is staggering and there is no let up in sight.

New revelations of Bush’s fabrications in his campaign to wage illegal war have led to a sharp drop in his approval rating. With each day the disgust of the people is mounting not only with the endless bloodshed in Iraq but with the Administration’s trashing of the Constitution.

Bush lied to the people. He lied to Congress. He waged an unprovoked war of aggression based on a neo-conservative fantasy that might makes right. More than 100,000 Iraqis have now died. Nearly 1,000 have been killed in just the last three weeks. The real casualty numbers for U.S. personnel are not really known. Thirty thousand have been evacuated from Iraq due to severe wounds, psychiatric and other illness, while nearly 1,600 have been killed so far.

Wolfowitz’s Admission Should Cause Impeachment

A number of recent revelations confirm that the Administration knowingly lied about the war and its causes. From their own mouths we know with certainty that they cooked up an explanation for the war that would most scare people - the facts be damned. Paul Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld’s key aide, was quoted in Vanity Fair magazine as saying, "For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on." Since the Administration was flooded with angry letters, undoubtedly many from families of U.S. soldiers, following the publication of the Wolfowitz interview, the Pentagon attempted to do damage control, asserting that he was misquoted. But that didn't help much either. The Pentagon’s own version of the interview has Wolfowitz saying: "The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason."

The public now knows, as does every member of Congress, that in April 2002 Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair secretly agreed to wage unprovoked war against Iraq at a meeting at Bush’s Crawford ranch in Texas. This fact and other incriminating information about the secret maneuvers to wage unprovoked war are contained in British government documents, obtained by Michael Smith, a defense specialist writing for the Sunday Times of London. They include a memo of the minutes of a meeting July 23, 2002, between Blair and his intelligence and military chiefs; a briefing paper for that meeting, and a Foreign Office legal opinion prepared before an April 2002 summit between Blair and Bush in Texas.

In a letter to Bush earlier this month 89 House Democrats expressed shock over the documents. They asked if the papers were authentic and, if so, whether they proved that the White House had agreed to invade Iraq months before seeking Congress' OK. (Los Angeles Times, May 12, 2005)

"If the disclosure is accurate, it raises troubling new questions regarding the legal justifications for the war as well as the integrity of our own administration," the letter says.

"While the president of the United States was telling the citizens and the Congress that they had no intention to start a war with Iraq, they were working very close with Tony Blair and the British leadership at making this a foregone conclusion," the letter's chief author, Rep. John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, said Wednesday.

The evidence is clear. As Ramsey Clark recently stated: "Impeachment now is the only way we, the American people, can promise ourselves and the world that we will not tolerate crimes against peace and humanity by our government. Knowing what we know, to wait longer is to condone what has been done and risk more."
