\n Opinion: Atlanta Progressive News<\/p>\n

By Matthew Cardinale, News Editor and National Correspondent,
\n Atlanta Progressive News (April 23, 2007)
\n (APN) ATLANTA — Today, US Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney. Kucinich did not limit the Articles to the issue of Iran; they also include defrauding the public and Congress over the need to invade Iraq. Prisoner torture, outing CIA agents, and illegal domestic warrartless wiretapping were not included as reasons.<\/p>\n

The main sections of the FULL TEXT of the bill as obtained by Atlanta Progressive News are reprinted below. We redacted the individual exhibits supporting various claims, as well as the “line numbers” for flow. However, the files are available here as well: http:\/\/kucinich.house.gov\/UploadedFiles\/int3.pdf<\/p>\n

\n

it just so happens that Impeach for Peace has recently met with Rep.
\n Keith Ellison of the Judiciary Committee.
\n http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/?p=1361<\/a><\/p>\n

Rep. Ellison was kind enough to give us some advice as to how to pressure
\n that committee to act on impeachment. He reccomended which members of the
\n Judiciary could use some encouragement. So, we’ve adjusted our
\n Do-It-Yourself Impeachment<\/a> (which has apparently been wildly successful in
\n helping Kucinich), and have refocused it to impeach Cheney, as well as
\n directing it to the members of the Judiciary recommended by Ellison.<\/p>\n

So, it’s our turn again to help this process along. Let’s innundate these
\n members of the Judiciary with a document that actually initiates
\n impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal
\n document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the
\n impeachment resolution. This document is based on one which was
\n successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on
\n IfP’s website as a PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kucinich says he needs us to keep building the groundswell of support for
\n impeachment all over the country. He said he felt that our framing the
\n issue of impeachment in terms of the Constitution is a principled choice,
\n and ultimately more effective than just acting on anger.<\/p>\n

Do-It-Yourself<\/a> by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant
\n information (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. The document also
\n has you sending them to Impeach for Peace. That way, we can collect them
\n all in one place, and deliver them all simultaneously (with cameras
\n rolling) in July. Be a part of history.
