Kucinich says he’s pursuing impeachment? Well let’s help him out. Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Dennis Kucinich’s office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).
Kucinich says he is building his case for impeachment, and is working to build the support of his peers in Congress. He says he intends to impeach. He said he needs us to keep building the groundswell of support for impeachment all over the country. He asks that we send him copies of all the resolutions passed in various States, local Legislative Districts, County Districts and of any petitions with signatures, so that he can present them to the floor of the House. He said he felt that our framing the issue of impeachment in terms of the Constitution is a principled choice, and ultimately more effective than just acting on anger. Here’s video of Kucinich addressing the impeachment issue:
Let’s answer Kucinich’s call with a petition that has it’s precedent in history, and it’s legitimacy in the Rules of the House of Representatives.
There’s a little known and rarely used clause of the “Jefferson Manual” in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.
That’s where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help Kucinich to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. We’re not only having you send them to Dennis now, but also to Impeach for Peace. That way, we can collect them all in one place, and deliver them all simultaneously (with cameras rolling) in July. Be a part of history.
There is ample evidence that clearly indicates a blatant disregard for the constitutional rights of Americans. It’s time the political hacks (Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove…) be held publicly accountable for all their misdeeds. There should be no more excuses or delays. Justice delayed is justice denied. It is time for ALL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS to summon their courage and join Congressman Dennis Kucinich in PEACEFULLY yet DECISIVELY sending a clear statement of impeachment to Mr. Bush and his staff. The world is watching and praying that America wakes-up and remedies the many injustices. Justice delayed is justice denied. Those who would gladly deny you of your consitutional rights and freedoms are the real enemy. They should be dealt with swiftly without exception for all to see.
Blessings,
Bill C.
We are proud of Congressman Dennis Kucinich who has the courage and determination to fight all the corruptions, special interest and corporate power in Washington.
We shall overcome and our peace movement will go on to support you as always.
I am proud of Dennis Kucinich for taking action against the Bush administration. He seems to be the only Democrat we got in that has any gonads.
Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,
