Impeach. Support Increases for Censure of Cheney and Bushby: Betsy L. AngertTue Jun 26, 2007 at 16:31:04 PM EDT |
copyright © 2007 Betsy L. Angert The quiet little man from Ohio is making gains. His mission is not yet accomplished; nor is his objective vengeful. Honesty and integrity are his vision. Congressman Dennis Kucinich does not think the President of the United States governs the people, or presides over the public as a ruler might. Presidential Candidate Kucinich believes in a higher moral standard. He has faith the person that holds the office of President has the power to bring peace to this planet. The former Mayor also holds that the Vice President must act with honor. He asserts neither in our current Administration does. The Congressman claims as do others that are joining him in expressing their concerns, we must work to impeach this George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. |
| John Conyers proposed impeachment of the President many months ago. While the Congressman had support for the measure, House Resolution 635, [636 and 637] that movement languished under the weight of the idea we must wait, or not pursue that path for reasons that trouble the calm and peace seeking Congressman Kucinich. Dennis Kucinich observes that the current White House focuses on defense, destruction, and a deliverance from "evil." This concentration does not benefit or befit a President and his or her Cabinet. Yet, the Bush - Cheney clan contends they must lie, cheat, and steal to secure our shores. The Congressman thinks not and has said so for quite some time. After months of appeals to an apathetic public, an extremely cautious Congress, or people that just feel powerless, there is a little bit of movement. Today, in my own life two persons expressed a belief that the ?electability? factor they clung to may not serve us [citizens of the United States and the globe] well. Earlier eight of those in Congress that once stated President Bush and his pals had not committed "high crimes and misdemeanors," or at least they had not done so in a manner that might make a case for censure are now re-thinking their stance. In April of this year, after delaying too long in the minds of many people, Dennis Kucinich called for impeachment. This plan would not only introduce articles of impeachment against the President, this directive would address the transgressions of the man second-in command, Vice President Dick Cheney. Kucinich introduced three articles of impeachment against Cheney: The first accusing the vice president of deceiving the country by "fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify" an invasion of Iraq; the second accusing him of "purposefully" manipulating intelligence to Congress and the American public about a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda "despite all evidence to the contrary;" and the third for "threaten[ing] aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States."The progress is slow. For Progressives it usually is. However, we are patient people, at times too serene for our own good. BREAKING: Five US Reps Support Cheney ImpeachmentSadly, few do participate as they might. Many see the government as separate from themselves. Americans forget the Constitution defines the authority within a democracy as of, by, and for the people. We, the citizens of this country must make our directives and desires known. America, we have work to do. Let us be active and aware and play a part in our lives. If we wish to bring peace, we must deplore destruction. We need to disengage from those that bring harm to humans anywhere in the world. Do not forget when we assess the strife this country, this planet endures we cannot separate the parts from the whole. George W. Bush and Richard Cheney are undeniably one. Each has fostered global destruction, torture, and a lack of transparency. If we impeach one we must indict the other. We must remember. House Resolution 635.Out of respect for House Leader Nancy Pelosi and a desire to be appointed to the Judiciary Committee this Resolution was taken off the table by its author Representative John Conyers. Nevertheless, there were brave souls that supported this measure. The 39 total co-sponsors of H Res. 635 were . . .Let us not abandon hope or lose sight of our vision. If we are to bring peace, prosperity, and form a more perfect union than we must work towards what we believe in. Let us unite in our cause. May our will be as strong as that of the Administration. May we never forget, in a democracy the government is of, by, and for the people. Without us, there is nothing but this awful mess. There is reason to believe we can bring about change. Only months, ago Dennis Kucinich was a whisper, a voice in the wind. This presentation illustrates what was our truth. We shall overcome. We shall overcome . . . We can use nonviolent measures to bring about peace. Let us lead the world in a manner that is consistent with our rhetoric. "All we are saying, is give peach a chance." Support nonviolent actions. Impeach the aggressors. I thank you for all that you do to help make America strong, the best, a truly tranquil superpower that promotes peace worldwide.
