\nFrom ThisModernWorld.com<\/a> — Prominent Anti-War Voices To Discuss Politics of Impeachment at DePaul Law School<\/p>\n

WHAT: John Nichols (The Nation), Elaine Brower (Military Families Speak Out) and David Swanson (Progressive Democrats of America) discuss national efforts to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney<\/p>\n

WHEN: Thursday, June 21st, 6-9pm<\/p>\n

WHERE: DePaul University College of Law, 25 E. Jackson Blvd., Rm. 803, Chicago, IL<\/p>\n

On April 24th, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to impeach Vice President Cheney. Eight representatives — including Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois — are now co-sponsoring the bill.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bush administration continues to stonewall congressional investigations on all fronts — including its rationale for and prosecution of the Iraq war, the outing of an undercover CIA agent, warrantless wiretapping, and politicization of the Justice Department — while sectors of the administration push for war with Iran.<\/p>\n

Is it time to invoke the process of impeachment? What efforts are occurring at the state and local level? What are the prospects for impeachment in the current political climate, and how do today’s events compare to historical attempts at impeachment? Hear from these provocative voices:<\/p>\n
