Messrs. Bush and Cheney, abetted by members of their administration, distorted and abused intelligence to commit a national and international crime in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. These crimes have brought us into serious jeopardy as a nation, crippled our military readiness, distorted our global reputation, wasted enormous resources desperately needed at home and, most gravely, resulted in the needless suffering and deaths of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children (American, Iraqis, etc.)

Failure of the Judiciary Committee to move rapidly on Rep. Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment renders you and your colleagues guilty of being accessories and collaborationists with the crimes alleged, and for which ample evidence exists in the public record, in those articles. It is your duty to fully, openly and swiftly investigate these serious charges of crimes against the American people and the world.

The Bush/Cheney regime has mocked the Constitution, eviscerated Congressional oversight while dramatically expanding the Executive, created the Gulag of Guantanamo (despite a “friendly” Supreme Court rejecting their arguments on the rights of detainees), instituted ineffective and illegal methods of torture as part of our collective practice–and yet this brief list of outrageous and shocking behavior is incomplete.

Messrs. Bush and Cheney should NOT be permitted to escape scrutiny and justice through timidity and inaction on the part of Committee members.

Please undertake your duty to your office and to the citizens of the United States of America. Act with alacrity so that we can restore some semblance of justice and dignity to our nation.

Thank you for your attention. I formally request a response in writing.

Because we all know by now that George W. Bush has committed many more crimes than just 35. And when added to all the crimes committed by Dick Cheney, as well as so many other culture of corruption Republicans in the Bush administration, we could be looking at thousands of impeachable or criminally prosecutable offenses.

So, I have no doubt that Dennis Kucinich will be able to easily expand his list of articles of impeachment against George W. Bush, with the only consideration and possible limitation being how many hours does Dennis Kucinich want to spend reciting them on the House floor, while personally and officially reading them into the Congressional Record.

Kudos to Dennis Kucinich, a true American hero and patriot.

And Truth is definitely the best ammo. It’s like kryptonite to these lowlifes.

Oh, I’m sure the tourists will be flocking to Florida when gas and air travel becomes unaffordable, and the people in the N.E are choosing between food they can’t afford or heating oil that they can’t afford. Good luck with that. Do you even think about the world outside of your mommies basement?

Right back at ‘ya – if it becomes too harsh, don’t you think many will consider moving there? And will they just meekly accept that their new home state has been/may be fouled? Not any Americans I know.

BTW TAnkerRay, turbines (jet engines) run very well on bio-diesel, or just about anything else. Air transport will be one of the last to go. Long after the demise of the conventional automobile.

And just to dash the hopes of trolls, you may want to examine “Congress’s dismal approval ratings”. Democrats who have tried to thwart Bush are doing quite well against potential contenders. Republicans and chuckenhawks, those who have the balls to face humiliating defeat in another election, aren’t doing so well. There’s a pretty sharp divide between the popularity of individual lawmakers and the Congress as a body.

But hey. If “dismal approval ratings” float your hopes? Knock yourself out. Just don’t try pushing that “everything was great until ‘06″ crap. Like all lies it’s only use is as a diagnostic tool.

Whether or not any deals have been cut, it’s quite apparent everyone is willing to wait for our own regime change. Assuming Bushco leaves quietly, that may be the best we can hope for.

Dennis is fierce.

Living it and LOVING it!
