Vermonter for Impeachment: “It’s not extreme. What is extreme is the abuse of executive power”

April 22, 2007 – By LIZA EARLE

A call for impeachment investigations passed in 38 out of 40 Vermont town meetings because it’s common sense. It’s not extreme. What is extreme is the abuse of executive power, including misleading us into war, the policy of torture and disregard for citizens’ rights.

Wait until Jan. 20, 2009? Nearly two more years of not questioning Bush-Cheney will cement our reputation throughout the world as a people who condone torture and lies. Two more years of a soldier dying every seven hours and mounting hatred toward our country, all to the tune of $2 billion per week, is unconscionable.

  1. TO REITERATE:
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.

    Make the supreme court
    accountable to the people.
    A Democracy doesn’t annoint presidents, we elect them.

    Down with the Nazi word “homeland”, Up with America!
    IMPEACH Bush/Cheney NOW.
    IMPEACH Bush/Cheney NOW.
    IMPEACH Bush/Cheney NOW.
    IMPEACH Bush/Cheney NOW.

  2. Impeachment is a process that MUST be considered and initiated. With all that has been uncovered and documented about this administration, it would be the height of irresponsibility to ignore the inevitability of impeachment. No one could fault Pelosi for stating it was “OTT” before the subpoena power was in her hands, and the Bush’s cronies began shooting themselves in the foot, leg, arm…

  3. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS. This is what we are told from the first remembrances of CIVIC COOPERATION. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS. We are conditioned to follow the laws of our communities, respectively. We are taught that hard working, honest, people that FOLLOW THE LAW are rewarded, and people that BREAK THE LAWS suffer consequences.

    This band of TREASONOUS CRIMINALS have lied to get AMERICA into an ILLEGAL INVASION of A SOVERIEGN NATION, that had absolutely nothing to do with TERRORISM, PERIOD. They have set it up so that AMERICAN TAXPAYER MONIES are distributed amongst SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS by way of awarding NO BID CONTRACTS to the very companies that those EXECUTIVES were in charge of just prior to them taking their respective positions in this current administration.

    This administration has TOTALLY DISCARDED OUR CONSTITUTION, and attempted to implement laws that will undoubtedly be found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    This administration has constantly INTRUDED into the personal lives of ordinary citizens, breaking so many of our laws that one would have to consult an attorney just to know where to begin.

    All of this and I haven’t even gotten to THE OATH that these CRIMINALS all took to hold their respective positions in this current administration, which actually charges each and every one of those TRAITORS with the task of PROTECTING AND DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION, not the PEOPLE, or THE CORPORATIONS.

    Now I will add to the CULMINATION of CRIMES. That which is the most DISPICABLE.

    The amount of AMERICAN BLOOD, which at last count stood at approximately 3200 soldiers killed in action, not to mention the IRAQI BLOOD, which depending on whatever poll you choose to believe, ranges from approximately 45,000 INNOCENT CIVILIANS to over 600,000(IRAQI) people killed, pouring over the hands of those EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS of this CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

    This BAND of TREASONOUS CRIMINALS cannot be allowed to ESCAPE from OUR LAWS without being held ACCOUNTABLE for the crimes they have committed against the AMERICAN PEOPLE. They must also be made to stand for the HORRIFIC ATROCITIES committed against the country of IRAQ. IT IS TIME FOR IMPEACHMENT. AFTER ALL WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.

  4. in addition to impeachment of shrub and vp, we need to make the supreme court
    accountable to the people, a Democracy doesn’t annoint presidents, we elect them
    Down with the “homeland”, Up with America
    IMPEACH NOW

  5. I believe that it’s way past time to remove George w. Bush
    and all of the illegal cronies that he has set up in
    Washington. Remove George W. Bush NOW.
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.
    Impeach George W. Bush NOW.

  6. Actually, it shouldn’r matter who is impeached first.
    What’s important is that those who have raped our constitution and twisted the moral sensibilities of humanite be pusished to restore respect for law and justice.
    The Senate’s best response to whomever is nominated to fill the Vice-Presidency vacancy, would be to take no action until the 2008 election. If it should happen that both Cheney & Bush are removed from office, then Nancy Pelosi would become President for the sdhort term remaining.

  7. Excellent idea – impeach Cheney first. Then Bush.
    We no longer have a government for the people, by the people. It’s now a government for the politicians, bureaucrats & lobbyists. Too many of our elected officials ignore the people they serve.
    I suggest that someone produces a small bumper sticker (in mass quantities) that says simply “IMPEACH” – everyone will know what it means. It would be interesting to place that bumper sticker on any bumper that has a sticker that says “Bush/Cheney” or “W the President”.

  8. Impeachment seems like it is the only solution, however I am wondering if it will ever come to the floor. This (if you want to call himm that) President has been trying for two years to conslidate the Military under his control, that having failed he has given a green light to the Private “Blackwater” Mercenary operation on the North east (I think Rhoade Island) and on the West coast (again I think it is Northern California). This man (poor excuse of one) doesn’t give a damn about America or the Military his WHOLE FOCUS is the breaking of the Military and substituting the “Blackwater Merc.” as Private military for accountable control abroad and ESPECIALLY at home were the biggest threat is to shut them down before they offer any viable threat. Working hand in hand with the Fascists Religious right on the Dumbing down of America through education, proof is the continued unwaranted attack on the FREE education system verses the INADEQUATE education of the FASCIST religious right I offer pat robertsons inafficient alledged law school as a primary look at for comparison.

    So with all this and much more than I care to write about, can we get on with the IMPEACHMENT while watching our backs for more rights being stripped away once they have the word that IMPEACHMENT is inevitable
