Impeachment in the United States

Send ONLY a four word message to Congress;

IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY !

Indicate that this is:

The ONLY Business That Congress Should Be Working On.
Privileged Business.

And an explanation:

WE…. NO LONGER CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED BY THIS
BUSH & CHENEY ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS COMMITTED TREASON,
HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS!

The Different Groups Need to Work The Same Plan to Create a Mandate to Congress!

If you visualize this as a hunters target – Impeach is on the target, but the Bulls Eye is “IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY” Because that Changes The Administration of the Country. To Create a Mandate to Congress we have to stay focused on that direct path and Not be sidetracked by other issues.

When Code Pink was arrested at Nancy Pelosi’s Office, that was like Friendly Fire.

We Will Accomplish More When We Understand What Our Real Objectives Should Be.

Have Faith That IMPEACHMENT Is The Fastest Way To Bring The Iraq War To Conclusion. It Will Be Putting The War Into The Hands Of A New Administration That Never Wanted This War To Begin With.

Explanation of the PLAN:

1. Reverse Engineer This Process Of IMPEACHMENT

1) We Now Have Madam President Nancy Pelosi in the White House
2) Bush/Cheney Resigned
· Why? - They Believed There Would Be Enough Votes - 2/3rds In A Senate Trial To Remove Them From Office
3) Or Bush/Cheney Removed From Office By Trial In The Senate
· House Judiciary Committee> House Rules Committee > Articles of Impeachment from the House
· We Need 2/3rds Senate To Vote For Impeachment Trail (17+ Republican votes)

2. Lets Look at HOW We can get those 17+ Republican votes

We Have To Make Our Good Luck

1) KEEP THE HEAT ON! The type of Heat made, is Important!
· If heat is just in one place – The movement will be to avoid the heat.
· If the heat encircles the one intended to be moved – They will make a Serious Change In Their Position. That is what we are looking for!
· Leave Them No Comfort Zone or Rock To Hide Under

2) When Moving a Committee - Target ALL Members Of The Committee
· Example: Judiciary Committee, House Rules Committee, etc.

3) When Moving Senators or Representatives - Target DC & All State Offices
List of Republican Senators to focus on- sorted by Next Term- at end of this plan
· FAX is preferred method, hand delivery 2nd, email & Postal Mail 3rd

4) People With SIGNS on the Street Great – BUT, No Violence – No Radical Stuff – None Arrested! We are trying to move conservative people, Be Civil!
· Don’t give the media any reason to picture the protesters as bad guys.
· Bush and Thugs deserve that spotlight!

5) People Hand Delivering Papers To Offices (one paper, with one name at a time). Don’t just drop off paper, wait in line to give it to someone and speak with them. Tell them this is Privileged business for Congress. This is Occupying the Office BUT NOT Loitering - No One Gets Arrested – Its ALL Legal Business. Send groups of 20 every 10-15 minutes. Test out the logistics timing

3. What You Can Do To Create A Mandate To Congress:

· The MESSAGE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

1) Send ONLY a four word message to Congress;

IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY !

2) Indicate that this is:

The ONLY Business That Congress Should Be Working On.
Privileged Business.

3) And an explanation:

WE…. NO LONGER CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED BY THIS
BUSH & CHENEY ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS COMMITTED TREASON,
HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS!

4) Work The Plan
· All Groups -- MUST STOP Sending Congress ALL Their Different Messages and Emotional Reasons that put us into Action
· ALL Groups Around the Country NEED To Send the Same Message To Create A Mandate To Congress

4. Target The State Constituents of Those You Want To Move

· Each Senator is not only a member of a party, but foremost an "independent," constitutional entity whose authority is derived from their constituency.

1) Watch News / Set Up Email Alerts About These Senators and Their States

· Grass Root Issues, Industry, Unions, Churches - Are Sensitive Groups

2) Make Connections With Other Groups In Those States & Share This Plan
· State Activists Groups, University Political Science & Humanities Groups
· Online MeetUp Groups In That State, Share This Plan With Them

5. How To Separate Partisan Support From Bush

1) Like Jiminy Cricket Help Them Find and Rebuild Their Conscience
http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characters/jiminy/jiminy.html

2) Like the small voice of our conscience that tells us right from wrong. The messages that we send should be short, true and to the point.
http://freewayblogger.blogspot.com/
Examples:
Good People Do Not Back a War Based On Lies and Deceit!
"Duty, Honor, Country" has turned into LIES, DECEIT & GREED! This is the legacy of this Bush Administration!
Our foreign policy looks like a Bull in a China Shop designed it! It is Pathetic!
How can we be good people and back something like this?
The conscience of the people should represent our country, not the misused bombs and military might of this corrupt administration.
What has this government done for its people?
Name one thing this Administration has told the truth about?
Enough is Enough!

3) We need to understand and emphasize Conservative values and how they differ from what the Republican partisan is supporting. When this is exposed and Real Conservatives can clearly see the differences, Bush will loose a lot more support. And the Senators that are protecting him will have to choose between saving their own careers or going down in the ship with Bush & Cheney.

Real Conservatives Save, Keep from being damaged, lost, or wasted.
They Do Not succumb to the temptation of GREED that would upset the Balance of Nature
They have a conscience and are guided by it. They are also guided by their religion and philosophies; but Not by Con Artist or those without ethics and integrity.
They take a long-term view of what is good for the country and the children of this country.
They have an Attitude of Gratitude to those that sacrificed to give them a better life, because they Did Not succumb to the temptation of GREED either.
They Value Truth, Integrity, Humanity, Compassion, Loyalty and Patriotism
They want democracy to work and the people to be the deciders.

Neo-Cons are Not Conservatives, but maybe the spoiled brats of some old conservatives.
They Fit Into the Category Of Old Con Artists with new faces. Working in the media of deception, lies, trickery, confusion, muddy unclear intentions and war. To use blind trust and fall for the old slight of hand trick. To look at what one hand is doing and not seeing what the other hand is doing! Their Objectives are GREED, POWER and MANIPULATION. They have a comprehensive plan to manipulate others to do what they want. They are in a hurry to execute their plan before others figure out what they are doing. Everything and everyone is just a prop to get what they want including democracy itself. Even God is used. Goals are to convince churches and good people with a conscience that the end justifies the means. They must be empowered by the people. Their Loyalty is to self-interests with Conflicts of Interest to Patriotism. They want to be the deciders. Their ideology is all that matters. There is never enough to satisfy them.

We must seek out leaders that value truthfulness and integrity if we are to restore our democracy and country to its greatness. Our democracy is undermined when our leaders try to misled and manipulate us with deceitful ways. We can only make good decisions when we have truthful and correct information to base decisions on.

The Declaration of Independence “…. Governments are instituted among Men, DERIVING THEIR JUST POWERS FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED…. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, and to provide new Guards for their future security…. let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

Constitution of the United States: Article. II. Section. 4.
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

WE…. NO LONGER CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED BY THIS BUSH & CHENEY ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS COMMITTED TREASON, HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS!

It is the DUTY of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, to throw off such Government as our Declaration of Independence instructs us to do. Remind Them Of That! It is OUR DUTY & THEIR DUTY to throw off such Government!

The world awaits the SHOCK and AWE of seeing Democracy in Action!

Like a storm that crosses the country and covers a town in white, with the power to take down trees that have stood 100 years. We need to cover Washington DC with a million faxes from all over the country that ALL say 4 words IMPEACH BUSH & CHENEY with instructions that This Is Privileged Business For Congress and the explanation WE…. NO LONGER CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED BY THIS BUSH & CHENEY ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS COMMITTED TREASON, HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS AGAINST THIS COUNTRY!

An office opens near the Beverly Center to organize activists seeking the ouster of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Los Angeles Times, By Howard Blume, July 5

If President Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney were ever to be impeached, their foes could cite this Independence Day as a milestone — the day that the nation's first "impeachment headquarters" opened its doors in a storefront near the Beverly Center.

"This is an impeachment 4th of July," Byron De Lear, a Green Party activist, said Wednesday. He called removing Bush and Cheney "a patriotic duty to restore the integrity of the United States."

Those assembled cited various Bush actions or policies, including "lies that led the U.S. into war."

They also said that Bush--Cheney policies precipitated torture, illegal spying on American citizens, and the curtailment of privacy and civil rights in the name of fighting terrorism.

The latest irritant was the president's decision to commute the prison sentence of former Cheney aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, whom a jury convicted of obstructing justice.

"Isn't it ironic that Paris Hilton will spend more days in jail than Libby?" said De Lear.

The day's star power was provided by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), who had vigorously defended then-President Bill Clinton when he faced impeachment in 1998.

"This is one of the most important efforts this country has ever seen," said Waters, speaking to about 300 gathered for a noon rally at nearby La Cienega Park.

From a concerned citizen!

We must insist that the press put the following line of questioning to the Presidential candidates and publish the responses.

“Do you repudiate and reject the policy or practice of -

[here insert one from the well known laundry list of Bush/Cheney executive violations of Constitutional limits, law and generally accepted norms of transparency, environmental transgressions and failures the majority of Americans find to be impeachable.]”

After a series of such questions, which must elicit refutations of a number of Bush/Cheney policies and actions, the candidate should be asked if he/she then recognizes their Constitutional responsibility to call for impeachment as the necessary corrective.

While it is to be expected that all candidates will stand for a strong executive, they cannot afford to be seen favoring a secret government abusing and abridging the rights of citizens, weakening environmental protections for the benefit of corporate greed, failing to respect the rule of law at the highest level of government. They must support the Constitutional balance of powers and the rule of law and join Dennis Kucinich in calling for impeachment to make the strongest statement available to condemn policies and actions that undermine our system of government.

If Bush/Cheney are not brought before the bar of impeachment now, as examples of the abuse of executive power, following Presidents will inherit all the precedents for the abuse of signing statements, secret violation of FISA statutes, toleration or tacit approval of torture, extraordinary rendition, cronyism, environmental degradation in the service of corporate greed, diminished protection of the separation of church and state, and the politicization of science.
The 2006 elections put a Democratic majority in power to effect change. The people are not seeing the change they voted for. Listen to the majority of people of this nation, who tell pollsters they want impeachment. A simple change of Party, brought about at the polls, will not make the forceful and specific statement that would stand as the citizen’s demand that their elected officials observe their oath of office requiring them to preserve and protect the Constitution.

Listen to over 85 cities and towns that have passed impeachment resolutions. Listen to the state senate of Vermont. Listen to 16 State Democratic Parties.

The Bush/Cheney administration, with all the power of the Pentagon and the secret powers of the CIA and the NSA at their service, do not protect us from totalitarian domination. The Constitution stands as the bulwark of the citizen’s defense! The Constitution establishes a separation of powers to provide the checks and balances that restrain an Executive’s dangerous or inappropriate assumption of powers. The Congress, the people’s representatives – are charged with the sworn duty to exercise checks on the Executive when that Executive oversteps.

At this point in our history, no political action rises to the level of necessity more urgently than the protection of the Constitution and the restoration of the rule of law. George W. Bush and Richard Cheney must be impeached and the powers they have illegally assumed must be repudiated!

I refuse to fund any party or politician failing to honor their responsibility to the Constitution in calling for investigations into the actions of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney leading to the possible filing of articles of impeachment.
