34 Congress Members for Impeachment

[davidswanson]

By David Swanson

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D., Wisconsin) and Congressman Donald Payne (D., N.J.) have signed on as cosponsors of H. Res. 333, a bill proposing articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney, according to Congressman Dennis Kucinich's office. Kucinich is the original sponsor of the bill. Baldwin is the fourth member of the House Judiciary Committee to have added her name to the bill. A fifth Judiciary Committee member, Steve Cohen, has thus far signed on only to a bill proposing the impeachment of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

H Res 333 cosponsors include, in addition to Baldwin, Payne, and Kucinich: Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Keith Ellison, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Albert Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Yvette Clarke, Jim McDermott, Jim Moran, Bob Filner, Sam Farr, Robert Brady.

That bill, H. Res. 589 sponsored by Congressman Jay Inslee, has 15 cosponsors in addition to Inslee: Xavier Becerra, Michael Arcuri, Ben Chandler, Dennis Moore, Bruce Braley, Tom Udall, Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Keith Ellison, David Wu, Yvette Clarke, Darlene Hooley, Betty McCollum.

Johnson, Ellison, and Clarke are backing both bills.

Congressmen Jesse Jackson Jr. and Maurice Hinchey have recently said that they support the impeachment of Cheney and Bush, but have not yet signed onto any bills.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has opposed impeachment since May 2006, but this week said that if she were not the Speaker she would probably be backing impeachment, and that impeachment of Gonzales is clearly merited.

2. Isn't this the three Conyers said he needed...

and would start impeachemnt proceedings? Ball is in your court Mr Conyers. You are either with us or against us.

5. Conyers is stonewalling impeachment on behalf of Pelosi

Dick Cheney's interview on Larry King yesterday should have scared enough people to realize that impeachment is not only necessary, but imperative.

3. Thanks for reporting this.

The snow ball is still rolling downhill.

After the break everyone should call their Local Reps and push this hard!

4. K*R Great stuff

Now switch the name from Gonzales to Bush and you've got a movement. Never has the will of the
American people been so neglected as now? Does the name King George ring a bell.

9. It worked!!

I e-mailed Tammy yesterday (based on your post) and urged her to sign on. I don't live in her district (I'm "represented" by Jim Sensenbrenner), but I wrote to her and the other Democrats in our delegation urging them to hold this Administration responsible.

Clearly, Tammy is hanging on my every word!

10. The Plan

I am not allowed to start a new topic - not enough posts - so this seemed a logical place to post the the plan. If someone wants to start a thread with it, please do.

The Plan


I hate the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and war in general. I've never seen a war I liked yet. I hate wars, conflicts, mobs, civil wars, riots, gang wars, drug wars, religious wars, World wars, and battles.


Now it wouldn't be right to complain about wars and not have a plan, so I have a plan.


I have a unique plan, a failsafe plan, a plan that has never been tried before, but should be tried tomorrow, a moving plan of people and things, a sweeping plan, an entry idea, an exit stratedgy, a great plan, a good plan, a loving plan, and a plan I planned to get our troops home by Christmas. It is a simple plan, easy plan, quick plan, low cost, high value, long lasting, short grasping, understandable, and damn near damnable in ending the task, ending the hardship, shifting the burden, reducing the load, lifting our hearts, and lowering our blood pressure.


We simply get our troops off foreign soil quickly, escape by any means, and regroup when we all get to America. How's that, huh? Cut & run, escape, and regroup on American soil. Thats a simple plan. It doesn't take to much to envision this great day in American history when I revealed this wonderful plan to you. It's so simple you can write it on the back of a business card.


I like this plan for a lot of reasons. It has a start and an end, it saves lives, gives us a new direction, cuts taxes, raises morale, lowers deaths, joins families, separates enemies, makes friends, and gives us a positive outlook with the world. I can see the troops arriving by every means possible, cars, vans, trucks, wheel barrows, gurneys, wheel chairs, trains, planes, ships, hot air balloons, donkey, horse back, rickshaw, fat womens singing back, and winnebaggo. Whatever it takes, whatever is fastest, whatever gets them here from there in the shortest, quickest, fastest, safest time we can possibly make for them.


What a plan,... it needs a number or name, something to make this simple idea look a lot more complicated than it really is. A name like the B-06 Plan, Screw The World Plan, U R on your own plan, the C U later plan..., I really like this plan. Maybe we shouldn't give it a name, confuse the media, be to quick for Congress, to slow for pin ball wizards, a total surprise, we won't even pull it off in October. They would be expecting another October Surprise but we will fool them this time. We will just call it the plan and pull it off in December.


So the plan is coming to your neighborhoods, be ready, open your doors, wash your windows, take down the yellow ribbons, put up the American flag, bake an apple pie, shine your shoes, cut your hair, trim your nails, iron a shirt or a dress, wear underware for a change. Clean your yard, wash your car, cut the lawn, hose the streets down, pick up the trash, put down the mat, and show our American troops that we took care of their America while they were gone.


The plan is coming folks, ...it really is.


Just cut & run, escape, regroup on American soil... is only the first part of the plan. A good plan always knows where it is going later, so I know where we are going with this plan. We are going into hibernation for the next 100 years. No more American wars. No more dead troops. No more massive defense budgets. Just Peace. Love. Stillness. Reflecting on life. Fishing a pond. Enjoying the arts, the shows, a real Renaissance of kick back, love thy neighbor, be a good Christian, practice peace, teach your children, have a bar-b-que in the back yard, a street party out front. Learn respect of your Country, its real values. A 100 years of learning what it really is to be a decent American.


Yes folks, the plan is coming and we should start getting ready for it. Spread the word, write it down, write it on overpasses, passing trains, send an email, call a neighbor, tell a friend, whisper to your lover, leave it as a tip, bring it up at the party, put it down on the front porch, take it to college, take it to work, pass it around, pass it back and forth. I think you get the idea.
