Dennis Kucinich Is Going to Embarrass the United States of America

He, and at least 21 of his colleagues in Congress,
including Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Keith Ellison, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Albert Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Dennis Kucinich, Yvette Clarke, Jim McDermott, Jim Moran, Bob Filner, Sam Farr, Robert Brady, Tammy Baldwin, Donald Payne, Steve Cohen, Sheila Jackson Lee, Carolyn Kilpatrick, Ed Towns, and Diane Watson.

These 21 Congressmen and Congresswomen have signed on to support Kucinich's H RES 333, introducing the Articles of Impeachment of Vice President Richard Cheney summarized below:


First Charge:
Cheney has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests
Second Charge:
Cheney purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda in order to justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests
Third Charge:
Cheney has openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States, and done so with the United States proven capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security of the United States.
Tomorrow, Congressman Kucinich's bill to impeach Cheney will be introduced on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Another pro-Bush or Bush-lite congress member will move to table (kill) the resolution. The vote will come on the 6th, 7th, or 8th of November. If the vote to table the motion carries, this generation of Americans will go down in history as condoning the above stated actions of Dick Cheney as not being beyond the pale of the American Way of governance. Such a stain will be indelible.

We, alone, can help save our country and our generation this embarrassment by contacting our Congressional representatives and urge a "No" vote on the anticipated tabling motion - and in effect, giving impeachment a chance.
