Impeachment movement, of Bush, goes into high gear

As Bush insider confirms the reasons for impeachment
Impeachment movement goes into high gear

Every day brings another reason for George W. Bush to be impeached. We have a duty to act and we can make a difference.

Explaining that his "loyalty to the truth" overrode his "loyalty to Bush," former White House spokesman Scott McClellan published a new memoir this week, which details the ways in which the administration regularly lied to and deceived the American public. McClellan asserts that the White House had managed the debate leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq in a way that "almost guaranteed that the use of force would become the only feasible option." In this "culture of deception," the corporate media acted as "enablers" to the Bush administration's war of aggression.
Please call John Conyers on Tuesday, June 3, at 202-225-5126, 202-224-3121, 202-225-3951, 313-961-5670, or 734-675-4084. Let Mr. Conyers know, "You have a constitutional and legal obligation to act on impeachment. The Bush administration intentionally deceived the public to go to war, and the people of this country demand that they be held accountable."

McClellan undoubtedly wrote the book for the sake of his career, to distance himself from an increasingly detested president. But the fact is that the longstanding beliefs of the anti-war and impeachment movement have now been confirmed by a Bush insider. The president lied about going to war; it was not just a case of "bad intelligence," but intentional deception. This is an impeachable crime.

Our relentless efforts for impeachment have helped change the political climate. Everyone's actions have made a difference. More than 1 million people have voted to impeach. This is a stunning example of grassroots democracy in action. Please make an urgently needed donation so that this movement can be a factor in every city and state in the coming months.

Join the Tuesday, June 3 Call-in to John Conyers

As Ramsey Clark said in his message last week, "The Judiciary Committee and its Chairman have failed to act in the face of overwhelming evidence of the most grievous high Crimes and Misdemeanors ever to imperil our nation and its place among nations." The time to act is now.

We are asking you to take a moment on Tuesday, June 3, to call Rep. John Conyers, the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, to act on the impeachment resolution in the hands of his committee. This is not a matter of electoral politics or partisan politics. It is a matter of right-and-wrong, whether the Constitution is still adhered to, or if it is just a piece of paper.

Please call John Conyers Tuesday, June 3, at 202-225-5126, 202-224-3121, 202-225-3951, 313-961-5670, or 734-675-4084. Let Mr. Conyers know, "You have a constitutional and legal obligation to act on impeachment. The Bush administration intentionally deceived the public to go to war, and the people of this country demand that they be held accountable."

This impeachment drive is part of a two-month intensive effort, announced by Ramsey Clark, to have the House Judiciary Committee commence impeachment hearings by July 4. This movement is making a difference. To support this campaign and the important work of the impeachment movement, please click this link and make an urgently needed donation.

5. Impeachment Can Be Done In Days -- Yes Really
There's nothing to investigate. No required procedures.

A simple up or down vote on torture and treason in the House.

There are no circumstances or witnesses for a Senate Trial. No questions of law or even fact.

We can have caretaker President Danforth (or Warner) removing troops from the meatgrinder all summer.

Accept NONE of their pathetic, lame excuses.
