Kucinich takes impeachment talk to next level with call for action on Cheney
By: Mark Memmott and Jill Lawrence
As The Sleuth noted Tuesday (and On Deadline today mentions as well), Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has sent a letter to his colleagues in the House urging the impeachment of Vice President Cheney.
Kucinich has been publicly debating whether to do something like this for several weeks.
He told Democracy Now! late last month that impeachment — of both the president and vice president — “has to be on the table” because he believes there should be a discussion “about whether it’s right for a president and vice president to lie to the American people and take us into war.”

The story was also picked up by blog.wired.com and other sources.
Here is a list of Democratic representatives who did the
right thing today (11/6/07) and supported Kucinich’s efforts to impeach VP Cheney.
Please, copy this list to other websites discussing impeachment,
e-mail it around the country.
I hope someone will compile a complementary list of
Democratic appeasers of Bush and Cheney’s descent into
fascism.
If your representative supported impeachment, please thank
them and, if you can, promise your support for their
re-election (your vote and your financial contribution).
If you representative did not support impeachment, let
them know your displeasure!

Why is it the right for the US gov. to deny the basic human rights. The patriot act is now the act of playing God over the world.. US dont own this planet, thou i fear that the same US will sure give this world a final war.. The Third world war. And do the Citizen of America really belive that, for example Bush, (who never went to Vietnam by the way), will be in the front line fighting… No, he’ll sure be in a safe underground complex watching his own country men die.. For Nothing!!
Belive in this my fellow world friends; No one wins in a war, there’s only loosers.. And God bless the world..

Hooray for Dennis Kucinich! Someone in the Democratic party has some backbone.
The republicans impeach Clinton for a lie that affects his marriage and ONE PERSON
is willing to impeach Bushco for a lie that results in the USA looking like a Third Reich wanna-be. Hmmm thousands dead, wiretaps already judged illegal…. vs hurt marriage. Please people…. save our Democracy!
