American News Project: Kucinich's Fight to Impeach Bush - Part I : Rep. Dennis Kucinich continued his seemingly quixotic crusade to impeach President Bush last week. But with Speaker Pelosi suggesting the House Judiciary Committee may hear his argument, Kucinich might get his day very soon.

From VetPax

The sponsoring organizations are the three metro area chapters of Veterans For Peace (New York City, Tappan Zee, and Northern New Jersey), the Clarence Fitch Chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Actvities have been endorsed by Black Veterans for Social Justice, Veterans for Common Sense, Citizen Soldier, New York City Labor Against War, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, and Gold Star Families For Peace.

Judiciary Committee will begin hearings on Friday, July 25th

We've got a shot at letting the world know that we've finally summoned the courage to get the facts about an 8 year run by a murderous gang of international thugs into the World's consciousness

NON Believers, take notice:  WE CAN DO THIS!

We Vets met w/ Conyers on June 11, July 9, and we'll be at the hearings on the 25th.

However, we still need 10's of thousands of calls, all across America, to pump up the D's, and THE 9 COURAGEOUS "R's" who voted CORRECT, today ( 229 D's, & 9 R's YEA;  179 R's, 1 D NAY ) {NV=6 D & 11 R }

By the way, an important part of the Hearings, on July 25th will be about "Yellow Cake", WMD, etc...
For our 4,120 KIA, and the 100's of thousands of Iraqi's killed by the Administrations lying & murderous policies, GET UP, & RAISE HELL!

From AfterDowning Street

Congressman John Conyers has informed Veterans for Peace that he will hold the hearing we've been pushing for at 10 a.m. on Friday the 25th of July. He has not yet confirmed that publicly, but another member of the Judiciary Committee has confirmed it to me. Our job is to make it as much as possible an impeachment hearing and then to insist on a real impeachment hearing. The 9% Congress will only hurt itself by advertising Bush and Cheney's crimes together with their own failure to move impeachment forward. Impeachment would revitalize Congress and even the Democratic Party, and it's our job to make that crystal clear. Read Dave Lindorff's take on this.

Fine for me, don't know if anybody else is having trouble.

Here's the link, if that doesn't work for you try clinking on the 'send' under the player and see if that'll work.

Thanks for this, jimstaro! (4.00 / 9)
Every single one of us need to get behind Kucinich (and Wexler) -- these are the ONES who are fighting for us!  

I've written many times to express my appreciation and I MEAN IT.  Please sign Dennis Kucinich's petition petition  

Say "YES" to Generation We  Go there, read the Petition and sign, if you agree!   Say "YES" to GENERAL STRIKE


Hummmm! It seems that, inadvertently, there has been a slight (4.00 / 5)
indiscretion on my own behalf -- hope all will overlook the same and go STRAIGHT TO THE PETITION!

(I had the site selected and then, forgotaboutit, LOL!)

Say "YES" to Generation We  Go there, read the Petition and sign, if you agree!   Say "YES" to GENERAL STRIKE

What I appreciate is the renewed hope this essay gives. (4.00 / 2)
The impetus to keep pushing, g*ddammit.  I needed that today.

I've said before and I'll say again.  This is not Nixon.  They will not ride off unmolested into the sunset.  As long as I live I will not forget what the war criminals have done.  We will work for justice.  We may never succeed, but I hope we die trying.

Founding documents not withstanding, a country is only as democratic as its citizenry demands.


"...I hope we die trying." Nope, I disagree. (4.00 / 1)
Rather consider my paraphrase of Patton's quote in this (your?) context.

"The object of [justice-seeking] is not to die for your [cause] but to make the other bastard die for his."

And...

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
-General George S. Patton

No justice, no peace!
