Subject: Cheney Impeachment: Taking the Next Step

 

Dear June,

 

In my last email to you, I wrote how your support for our efforts to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney has helped us get some attention from the mainstream media. My editorial was recently published in the Philadelphia Inquirer and newspapers from coast to coast have covered our success. 175,000 supporters have now signed up at WexerWantsHearings.com and the number continues to build. 

Over the past weeks, I have put significant financial resources behind this effort, including advertising, multimedia, blog ads, and technical support for WexlerWantsHearings.com. Thank you to the hundreds of people who have already generously supported the cause.

Now, with your help – I want to expand this effort.

With your support I want to make a major Internet advertising buy on Google that will guarantee that for the next two weeks, every person that looks up "Dick Cheney" on Google sees an advertisement for our petition. With your help we can own "Cheney" on the web.

In addition, I want to publish blog ads, such as you see to the right, throughout the web to galvanize Americans in support of our cause. (You may have to right mouse click and select "Download Pictures" to see the ad).

It is time to reach beyond those that are regular readers of the political blogs, and expand the number of people mobilized to help push for impeachment hearings. The truth is that the number of Americans who support our efforts is immense and we need to do everything possible to reach out to them and maximize our strength.

I cannot do this without your support, so click here if you'd like to contribute to our work.

When Congress reconvenes on January 15th I will deliver the hundreds of thousands of names we have collected to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee and I will do everything I can do to convince them to support immediate impeachment hearings. I will also be entering all of the collected names into the Congressional Record and present them to the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

The mainstream media has not done enough to cover this effort but with your help we will force the issue into the national dialogue.

Click here if you'd like to help sponsor this effort.

We must now redouble our efforts to ensure that Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration are held accountable.

In order to continue funding this effort we need your help. Please consider making a financial contribution to help us expand our advertising advocating impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney. Your help will go a long way toward stopping the out of control Bush Administration.  

 

Click here if you are willing to contribute today.

Thanks for your help and keep up the fight!

Impeachment: If not now, when?  (If there is a big gap, scroll down.)

Impeachment: If not now, when?

Lawmakers need to stand up for the Constitution and support impeachment

By LINDA BOYD

GUEST COLUMNIST

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. -- Article II, Section 4

 

 

On Nov. 6, Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney on the floor of the House of Representatives. For one shining moment the will of the majority of Americans and the promise of this nation's founders were truly represented.

The detailed charges were solemnly read from the House podium and televised on C-Span. House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer made a motion to table the bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lobbied hard for votes to table.

 

 

In a stunning turnaround, House Republicans changed strategy and voted decisively to prevent tabling the impeachment resolution.

 

 

Pelosi was defied by 85 Democratic members who voted against tabling the impeachment resolution. This includes John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and six committee members. The resolution was quickly voted back to the Judiciary Committee, where it is not resting quietly.

 

 

Judiciary Committee member Bob Wexler wrote, "The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush administration."

 

 

Impeachment is squarely on the table, and momentum is building. A year ago, almost no elected official breathed the word impeachment. Now impeachment has hit the House floor, and our electeds have gone on record. Millions of Americans are demanding an end to executive abuse of power.

 

 

After six years of state of emergency, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, continual war and occupations, our Constitution is deeply in crisis. Americans are in danger of losing our system of government and civil rights if they do not roll back the Bush administration's assault on the rule of law.

 

 

Allowing Cheney and George W. Bush to finish their terms without being impeached means future presidents are free to copy their lawless behavior. Of course many important issues deserve the attention of Congress. But the Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, not just an issue. Without the Constitution, we have nothing.

 

 

lls show that 74 percent of Democrats and the majority of American adults support impeaching Cheney. "Never in our history have the high crimes and misdemeanors been so flagrant, and the people of our country know it," writes local author Richard Behan.

Kucinich has targeted Cheney first, but investigations will implicate the president as well. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50 percent of respondents say they "strongly disapprove" of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48 percent, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. With these numbers, why aren't Bush and Cheney gone already?

The vice president is accused of:

 

  • purposely manipulating intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in order to justify an attack on Iraq;
  • deceiving Congress about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida;
  • threatening aggression against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United States.

    These violations of the Constitution and international treaty are just the tip of the iceberg. More articles of impeachment can be added at any time, and ample evidence to convict is on the public record. Representatives need to introduce articles regarding:

  • illegal war, in violation of both international treaty and the Constitution;
  • widespread domestic wiretapping in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony. Bush already has admitted to this;
  • condoning torture in violation of federal laws and international treaties;
  • rescinding habeas corpus, the cornerstone of Western law since the Magna Carta;
  • obstruction of justice regarding U.S. attorney firings;
  • subversion of the Constitution, abuse of signing statements and rescinding habeas corpus.

    • It's astounding that our representatives to Congress carry on with business as usual knowing that Americans lack habeas corpus and a working code of law. I want my representative, Dave Reichert, to block the doors of the House until habeas is restored as a basic human right in this nation!

    In light of Bush's steady drumbeat for war with Iran, Kucinich said he will consider an impeachment resolution against him.

    "Impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran," he says.

    "The most conservative principle of the Founding Fathers was distrust of unchecked power. Centuries of experience substantiated that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Constitution embraced a separation of powers to keep the legislative, executive and judicial branches in equilibrium," Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer and associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, said in the October 2006 edition of Washington Monthly.

    If Congress were serious about oversight, there already would be dozens of bills and resolutions calling for impeachment of Bush and Cheney. The "Unitary Executive Theory" violates the principle of balance of power in the Constitution. The president cites this "unitary" power in hundreds of signing statements that say he can ignore laws passed by Congress.

    The First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments are all now subject to the caprice of government officials. The Military Commissions Act allows U.S. citizens to be detained without due process if they are declared enemy combatants. Without our permission, this country has become an exporter of torture.

    Congress has failed to provide oversight and exercise its authority to rein in a criminal administration. Only swift action on impeachment can redeem it now. The people have done the heavy work of bringing impeachment forward. Representatives need only ask if the allegations are serious enough to warrant investigations.

    George Bush and Dick Cheney promote an imperial presidency. They assert that the executive is the most powerful branch of government, undermining the judiciary and Congress in violation of the Constitution's bedrock principle of shared power among three co-equal branches. This subverts the very nature of our system of government.

    "This is an attempt by the president to have the final word on his own constitutional powers, which eliminates the checks and balances that keep the country a democracy. ... That's a big problem because that's essentially a dictatorship," Fein said.

    Washington For Impeachment and Citizens to Impeach Bush and Cheney are working to inform the public, collect signatures to petitions, provide forums, and lobby representatives. Washington was the second state to sponsor a bill for impeachment in the state Legislature.

    Washington State Democratic organizations have passed resolutions in 11 Democratic legislative districts, five counties and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, has received impeachment resolutions from almost every legislative district within his congressional district. When will he represent the will of his constituents and honor his oath to protect the Constitution?

    The national movement to impeach is a non-partisan effort to restore the Constitution and the rule of law. People across the political spectrum can unite to preserve the Constitution and civil liberties given to us by the founders. Impeachment is the peaceful, orderly, constitutionally prescribed way to rid ourselves of a lawless administration.

    The issue is not about removing Bush and Cheney as much as it is about preserving the Constitution and redeeming the office of the executive. The Constitution is the contract of governance between the people and the government. What happens when major portions of the contract are violated?

    Congress has failed to call the president and vice president to account, so citizens must turn up the heat. Members of Congress who fail to demand investigations are covering for criminals. Every elected official has sworn an oath to "support and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." Anything less than impeachment and a full repudiation of the Bush administration's crimes and violations of the law is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the public trust.

    If we want our democracy back, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work to clean out the House.

    Impeachment: "Breaking The Rules" To Fix The System Pt 2 ( Political Duality of Rep and Dem, Pt 5b)

    by: Paul Rosenberg 

    http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do;jsessionid=74CBDB05B2F8136E919EFA9347F77109?diaryId=2101

    Sun Oct 28, 2007 at 11:03:34 AM EDT

    As part of my longer series, "Breaking the Rules" is intended to address the question of how liberals and Democrats can break the rules of "politics as usual" without beceoming "just like the Republicans."

    Part 1 provided a first example: the model of a strike against the Supreme Court as a possible response to the Court's lawless ruling in Bush v. Gore.  This was obviously a rather far-fetched example from a practical point of view, but it had the benefit of conceptual clarity, and close relationship with the classsic historical example of Thoreau's civil disobedience in going to jail, rather than paying taxes to support the Mexican-American War.

    In this part I consider a much more realistic example: the use of impeachment proceedings to expose Bush Administration lawlessness and the moral bankruptcy of movement conservatism, but without the intention to remove him from office.

    Using the impeachment process in this way is intended to accomplish a primary goal of impeachment--reigning in a lawless executive branch and re-establishing the system of checks and balances on which our democracy depends.  It foregoes the means of removal for pragmatic reasons only: first, a Senate so politicized would never vote for impeachment, and second, the time needed for impeachment to run its course would leave the action largely moot.

    By abjuring the purely political goal of removing the President (and, of course, Vice-President) from power, impeachment on these terms could also restore the proper solemnity and purpose to the mechanism of impeachment, which the conservatives have so thoroughly debased with their power-mad attempt to drive Clinton from office.

    Such a strategy would be an utterly exemplary act of level 4 thinking in action.  It would address a total breakdown in how level 3 roles and relationships are supposed to work, restore the functionality and reaffirm the underlying purpose while establishing a guiding autonomous framework of principle apart from those roles and relationships, capable of critiquing and revising them when they go off track.

    Paul Rosenberg :: Impeachment: "Breaking The Rules" To Fix The System Pt 2 ( Political Duality of Rep and Dem, Pt 5b)

    Background

    First, let's reveiw where we are. The longer series is about grappling with a conundrum:  Democrats are as incompetent with political process as Republicans are with policy.

    A significant key to why this is so lies in the realm of cognitive development: On policy matters, Republicans (dominated by movement conservatives) cling to "traditional values"--the set of expectations and understandings that are generated out of the pre-existing social system--what psychologist Robert Kegan identifies as "level 3" consciousness.  These work reasonably well in traditional societies, but cannot cope with the complexity of modern ones.  And yet movement conservatives cannot question them, because they serve to define the very ground of being for level 3 consciousness. Liberals and Democrats operate on a higher level--level 4--which takes the social system and its defining roles and relationships as object--but they do so only on policy mattes.  When it comes to political manuevering, the roles are reversed: Liberals and Democrats operate at level 3, playing by the rules because they cannot conceive of doing otherwise.

    Clearly, however, liberals and Democrats do have the capacity to think at level 4.  It is merely that they habitually do not do so with respect to political processes, and a large part of the reason is bound up in their relationship to conservatism.  Historically, liberals have been quite restrained in advancing their ideas, seeking more to build on existing structures and assumptions--the level 3 foundations of law and custom--than to build totally anew.  Having done so initially in the creation of the modern liberal order during the New Deal, liberals and Democrats have similarly been quite procedurally conservative in seeking to maintain the stability of the existing political order.

    However, such intentions are inherently self-defeating in the face of a radical reactionary conservative movement whose aims are to utterly subvert that system by any means necessary, using its key features when convenient, and casting them utterly aside when not.  Faced with such an onslaught, which treats the level 3 system of existing political arrangements (all the way back to Magna Charta) as an object for unrestrained manipulation, the only possible successful response is to likewise adopt a level 4 stance that views such arrangements as object--but does so from a principled position, which is how normal, healthy level 4 thinking works in the first place.

    Re-Drawing The Distinctions

    The immediate problem that confronts liberals and progressive is a confusion between two distinct things: the conservatives lawless pursuit of power as an end in itself, and the flexibility of action entailed by level 4 thinking, which is guided but not constrained by traditional roles, relationships and social responsibilites.  The former--conservative lawlessness--is a function of attitudinal factors, such as rightwing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) which shape a threatening dog-eat-dog worldview in which all's fair on the presumption that one inherently has God on their side.  The Spanish Inquisition was right: Torture is fine, because one is torturing in God's name.  Such is their fundamental logic, which George Lakoff has sketched out in detail based on the Strict Father model which he first introduced in Moral Politics.

    It is this logic which causes each conservative venture into manipulating level 3 customs, practices and instutitions to be so ruinous and immoral.  It is not the manipulation per se that is at fault, but the motivation and the logic behind the manipulation.  Of course it is quite prudent to be wary of level 4 manipulations, when our constitutional system of checks and balances is itself a level 3 entity.  However, we must never forget that it was intentionally created, and such an act of creation was inherently a product of level 4 consciousness.

    There is a lesson here: we can trust ourselves to venture into level 4 waters, provided that we do so openly, deliberatively, tentatively and without guile.  The aims must be for the good of the whole level 3 system of relationships that will proceed in altered form after our level 4 intervention, not merely for one particular set of actors.

    Whom to contact to support impeachment

     

    11/6/07   9:07 PM  from Jeff Latas PDA 

    You have to understand that there was a motion to table this by Hoyer and it
    was defeated, soundly, by the majority of Republicans who thought the Dems
    would never send it to committee since the number 2 Dem wanted it tabled.
    The leadership of the Dems and the Repugs both had this backfire in their
    faces. CNN is completely wrong with their analysis. This was a victory since
    the leadership was trying to keep this from committee, the floor, and the
    people.
    Impeachment is now a living issue in Congress and official on the table,
    something that the leadership thought would always be off the table.

    URGENT: Contact the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and Ask for Impeachment of Cheney and Bush

    Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2007-03-12 19:15. Activism | Congress | Impeachment

    1. Email Them All

    You can Email Speaker Pelosi and all of the Judiciary Committee Members for whom we have identified good Email addresses all at once by signing this petition.

    2. Phone and Email Them

    Your message can be as simple as "Please impeach Cheney" or "Please support and cosponsor Congressman Kucinich's proposal to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney."

    You can quote John Conyers from John Nichols' book (pointed out by attentive reader Gordon Bennett): "I have a choice. I can either stand by and lead my constituents to believe I do not care that the president apparently no longer believes he is bound by any law or code of decency. Or I can act."

    You can point to the Vermont Senate which passed a resolution on April 20, 2007, requesting impeachment. It is UNPRECEDENTED for Congress to ignore an impeachment request coming from a legislative body. It would be terrible for Congress to break this long-established precedent. When the Florida legislature requested the impeachment of Judge Swayne, Congress acted upon it. It came to the floor of the House as a highly privileged motion. The House required a committee to report on impeachment. When the committee reported it, impeachment was passed. When the Mississippi legislature requested the impeachment of Judge Bruin, Congress acted upon it. It came to the floor of the House as a highly privileged motion. The House required a committee to report on impeachment. Shortly later, a new judge was appointed, apparently after Judge Bruin died or resigned.

    Articles of Impeachment Presented Against Dick Cheney

    The impeachment movement against Vice President Dick Cheney took a huge step forward in Washington D.C. this week.

    (WASHINGTON, D.C.) - When Congressman Dennis Kucinich attempted to force a discussion on impeachment yesterday, it at first seemed that both the Republican Party and the Democratic leadership would agree to table the resolution.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to shirk her constitutional duties and assert that impeachment is "off the table."

    But in a surprise move, knowing that the Democratic Party leadership did not want to take responsibility for impeachment -- even though its base constituency supports it -- the Republican Party conducted a parliamentary maneuver and changed their vote to help defeat the motion to table.

    But the motion to table the impeachment resolution failed. By day's end, the anti-impeachment Democrats were able to maneuver out of an open discussion of Kucinich's resolution. Instead they were able to pass a motion that required Kucinich's resolution go to the House Judiciary Committee "for further study."

    Story continues below

    Kucinich's resolution said that Cheney, "in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of vice president," had "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 U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests." The 11-page resolution also charged that Cheney intentionally deceived the country about a supposed relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida and has "openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States."

    It seems the impeachment is on the move and making progress that was out of reach just a few months ago.
