[Audio] Kucinich’s Impeachment Call To Action. Please Help Him!

Filed under: Impeachment Progress News — Jodin Morey @ 9:34 am


In this YouTube, Rep. Dennis Kucinich describes the process of how, within a few weeks, he’ll force the issue of impeachment on the floor of the U.S. House. He does this to inform the public so that the public can assist in the process. The likely scenario is that a congressperson will immediately make a parliamentary move to ‘table’ the motion. The vote on whether to ‘table’ the impeachment motion WILL BE THE IMPORTANT VOTE. If the motion is tabled, it’s dead. So, Kucinich is calling on every citizen (yes, that means you) to contact their representative to tell them to vote NOT to table the impeachment motion, but to let it be discussed on the floor of the U.S. House! Call Congress Toll Free at 800 828 0498.

  5. Thank you Senator Kucinich! The Bush presidency has abused the constitution and expanded the powers of the executive office to the point of resemblance of a monarchy. We must, as a nation, stand up and restore the system of checks and balances designed by the framers of the constituion, who had such good reason to to fear and despise a monarchy. We must hold Bush accountable for his deceptions of the American people, which have lead us into such a terrible war, caused unimaginable human suffering, depleated our national treasure, and smeared our national reputation throughout the world.

  6. High crimes and misdemeanors! Throw the bums out! Do for our children, please!

    Comment by Otto Hunt — October 28, 2007 @ 9:18 pm

  7. One question for Nancy Pelosi. What do you have to do to get impeached these days? It seems that Cheney could shoot to kill someone right in the middle of Shea Stadium with all the lights on, and Nancy would say she has not evidence for impeachment. I am just sick and tired of these people. Put forward the bill now!!!

    Comment by Dennis Dixon — October 29, 2007 @ 7:33 pm

  8. Now we will see who has blood on their hands! What does it take to have justice in America in 2007? America’s Congress is NOW responsible for the direction of this country! Let them speak and then let the public have their day to be heard! We should not have to fight just to have a VOTE!!! And the true ones who are responsible for all these misdeads will never be known!!! This IS the last straw!! And if this is any indication of the state of the union, you better be scared…very scared. May peace and justice prevail with non-violence and global unity towards the criminals who have terrorized and held America hostage for many years. WE ARE BEING OPPRESSED AND CENSORED AND TERRORIZED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!!! THE TRUE “TERRORISTS” and the ones responsible for international chaos are in the White House! This is not a theory…IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF USA TODAY, THE NEW YORK TIMES, AND YOUR LOCAL PAPER!!! WAKE UP, AMERICA!!! Take a Stand, America! Demand Justice NOW!!!!! STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL DO AND DEMAND IT BE DONE!!!! DEMAND IT NOW!!!!! DEMAND IT NOW!!!!!

  9. why does the audio skip on the word “against”? (only on this site on the embedded video, the link to the youtube video and the clip plays without the skip over there)

  10. Oobi: Not sure, hadn’t noticed it myself.

  11. If ever someone deserved support, it’s Dennis Kucinich for his determination to bring to trial the liars and cheats of the current bush administration (george w. bush, The Man Who Would be King).
    Do call your individual representative in the U.S. Congress and request that s/he vote to allow the dialogue on impeachment to take place. It is way past the time for the impeachment of Cheney/bush to take place. BRING IT ON!!!!!!

  12. Impeach Bush NOW

  13. Impeach Bush NOW

    Comment by Jan Van Horn — October 31, 2007 @ 8:48 am

  14. How many times does the Executive Branch get to violate Constitutional Law? Nancy Pelosi seems too much of a Bushite to be Speaker of the House, when we elected DEMOCRATS to stop this illegal war that was against our constitution and against International Law. No attack unless another country has attacked us – which neither Iran nor Iraq have done. When WILL Pelosi do her job and put impeachment back on the table? Now they’re pushing for another illegal pre-emptive strike on Iran, whom the U.N. said have no nuclear facilities for making bombs – only for energy generation. I agree with Kucinich though when he said all countries should sign and abide by the non-proliferation treaty and use only alternative methods for generating energy. Torture and war seem to be synonyms for Cheney and Bush. Does Bush like to hunt? Or does he get his vicarious pleasure just hearing about the casualties in war?

  15. Thank you for trying to bring this to the forefront. I am so sickened by the complacency/apathy our country & esp. the leaders; have towards the atrocities we have inflicted upon the Iraqi people. PLEASE make this stick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Comment by Mike Moyes — November 5, 2007 @ 1:40 am

  18. Please everyone, get behind this! Write your congressman, senators, anyone who is in power even if you do not think they will listen. We have to make the waves, NP will not, HC will not and most of the men in charge will not…..too many in power walk on us because we do not work together.
    Do not stand by and wait for others to mdo what needs done, get up ! ACT!!!! Do something as David Kucinich trying. END THE WAR….Get rid of the cancer, Take the knife(action,voice,vote) and cut out the rotten killers. Now is the time, not later!!

Bush's Defense
Arguments Against Bush Impeachment...

• If we impeach Bush, we’ll get President Cheney!
The first impeachment resolution introduced by McKinney included Bush, Cheney, and Rice. Although, even if we only initially pursue Bush, initiating the impeachment process will lead to an investigation that will implicate lots of people in the Bush administration who are guilty of committing crimes, including Cheney.

No matter who we get to replace Bush, we’ll be showing those in power that anyone who breaks the law will be held accountable.

• Promoting impeachment will seem too “extreme.”
Demanding that crimes be investigated is NOT extreme. Some previous impeachment attempts were considered extreme because they were pursued for actions that didn't rise to the level of a Constitutional crisis, which is what the impeachment tool is meant to be used for. Nixon's impeachment, however, was bipartisan.

  • We should wait to impeach...
Wait to impeach? We've waited 3 or more years too long already. We had enough evidence to impeach years ago. Remember, an impeachment only means you have enough evidence to warrant a trial, just like an indictment. Our congress people didn't take an oath to bipartisanship. They took an oath to the Constitution. Besides which, our troops, Iraqi civilians, and our own civil liberties are all waiting for this.
 
• Before we impeach, we should get some legislation passed...
And with unconstitutional Presidential Signing Statements, veto power, and the power of "Commander in Chief" at his disposal, how do you think Congress is going to get anything accomplished without first impeaching Bush?

If your tire blows while you're driving, do you stop to fix it? Or do you continue driving on your rim because to stop would take too much time?

• It hurts the democracy to go through a presidential impeachment. And Bush is a lame duck anyway.
Holding government officials accountable for their actions strengthens our democracy. Letting lawlessness stand weakens it.

Sometimes reprimanding a child (president) doesn't make the family (Washington) a happy place. But you still have to do it so the child and his siblings (future presidents) learn about accountability. Impeachment is horribly UNDERUSED, which is part of why there's so much corruption at the top. Politicians must learn to fear it. People think things are better because we improved the make-up of our law-making body, Congress. But Bush is BREAKING LAWS. So, it doesn't matter how many laws Congress passes if they don't serve their OVERSIGHT duties as well by impeaching. They swore to defend the Constitution. What are laws without enforcement?

Besides, considering Bush's track-record of breaking laws, he can still do a lot of damage. Our troops, Iran, and our Supreme Court are all endangered so long as he remains in office. Waiting until Bush is out of office will leave us complicit in any further crimes he commits. The Union of Concerned Scientists has estimated that the death toll from a "tactical" nuclear weapon of the kind Bush is contemplating using in Iran would be at minimum 3 million men, women, and children. The path of death would stretch across country boundaries into India.

Perhaps worst of all, we set a terrible precedent by allowing Bush to stay in office after he's broken so many laws. Impeachment will stop future presidents from using Bush's actions as justification for even more lawbreaking and erosion of civil liberties.

• I'm a Democrat/
Republican. If we support impeachment it will lower the chances of my party winning in 2008.
So, your party would rather win elections than do what's right for the country? I hope you're wrong. I also hope the public is willing to throw additional support to any party that holds our elected officials accountable for their actions. This has been historically true with every single impeachment effort launched. And this impeachment effort would begin with majority support (unlike most past impeachments including Nixon).

• Impeachment will never happen. Congress members will block it.
Well, all we need is a majority of support in the House. And 2/3rds vote in the Senate to remove Bush from office will happen once the evidence gets aired on the floor of the House, and subsequently the national media outlets. The political pressure will become too great.

Today's impossibility is tomorrow's reality. Congress members will realize that tying their political future to Bush reduces their chances of getting elected. Remember, one way or another, Bush is gone by 2009— but members of Congress may retain their offices beyond that date. Bush's poll numbers are extremely low, and most Americans support impeachment. This is a bipartisan movement. This means that if we make the pressure unbearable for Members of Congress, they'll turn on him to keep their own seats (like they did with Nixon). It's already starting to happen. While many Members of Congress have behaved unethically in the last few years, it's important to understand that this is related to their warped view of what's in their self-interest. Let's wake them up to their true self-interest (impeaching the president), by showing them our support for impeachment.

And even if we only impeach, and the Senate fails to do their duty and remove him from office, it will only implicate the Senators who fail to do their sworn Constitutional duty.

• But Speaker of the House Pelosi said that Impeachment was "off the table."
Pelosi most likely said this to remove any appearance of conflict-of-interest that would arise if she were thrust into the presidency as a result of the coming impeachment. What we need to do is to pressure Pelosi not to interfere with impeachment maneuverings within her party. Sending her Do-It-Yourself impeachments legitimizes her when she joins the impeachment movement in the future.
