Are you outraged with this administration's trampling of the Constitution? Have you written your House Representative? Senators? House Judiciary Committee? Nancy Pelosi? Daily Newspaper? You can reach each of them with your sentiments on this issue in a single email by using this website which also lets them know that you support HR 333.
HR 333 is a resolution which was introduced to congress by Dennis Kucinich on November 6th, 2007. As of today, it has 24 cosponsors but is in need of significantly more. If you believe this Presidential Administration should be held accountable and impeachment hearings should be held starting with Richard Cheney, it is essential that you contact your representative and let them know that you would like them to be a cosponsor of HR 333.
On the night Dennis introduced this resolution to the floor, it was treated like a political stunt largely by both parties. The Democrats toed with Pelosi who said impeachment was off of the table and the Republicans voted in support of Kucinich's bill in an attempt to upset Speaker Pelosi. When all was said and done, the bill was shelved with the Judiciary Committee. This resolution does not deserve to be treated with so little respect by our elected representatives. If you're outraged by this, please do your part and contact those who have been given the power to protect and uphold our constitution. Read the full story here.
The following video shows Dennis introducing HR 333 to the House of Representatives.
Robert Wexler of the 19th district of Florida has also created a petition in which he is trying to collect 1 million signatures in support of impeaching Richard Cheney for abusing the powers of his office and violating our civil liberties. As of today, he has collected nearly 230,000 signatures. If this is something you care about, be sure to sign the petition along with your family and friends.
The following video shows Wexler presenting his petition along with collected signatures on the House floor.
In case you're reading this and you've forgotten that the Bush administration lied us into a war with and now occupation of Iraq, The Center for Public Integrity has tracked and recorded 935 lies that were told to the American people and International Community in the lead up to the war. The following video has captured a portion of those lies and then those who told the lies denying that they made those lies.
Nearly 4,000 US troops have been killed, nearly 30,000 troops have been injured and over 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have perished because of the lies these people have told. These are high crimes. If those who are responsible are not held accountable, what precedent are we allowing to be set for future administrations?
The time to act is now.
You're damn right Dennis.
