LOS ANGELES (FinalCall.com) - Approximately 500 anti-war and peace activists launched a national center to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney with an Independence Day press conference and gathering at La Cienega Park July 4.

The Los Angeles National Impeachment Center is the brainchild of Attorney Peter Thottam, who resigned from his job to focus on his anti-war activism. His frustrations over the Bush Administration’s disregard for the American people’s demonstrations against the Iraq War also prompted him to drum up the idea for the hub two months ago.

“We have got to wake up! This country is turning into Germany 1938 with people busy following the leader, doing what’s told and passively submitting to authority; but it’s time to step up to the plate and hold these people accountable,” Atty. Thottam declared.

According to a July 5 survey by the American Research Group, Inc., 45 percent of more than 1,000 U.S. adults probed during telephone interviews favored beginning proceedings to impeach Pres. Bush; 54 favored the same for V.P. Cheney.

Also, 84 percent opposed Pres. Bush’s complete pardon for former Vice-Presidential Chief of Staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby and 64 percent opposed his commuting of Mr. Libby’s 30-month prison sentence. Mr. Libby was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation into the Bush administration’s actions leading into the Iraq War.
