Kucinich to receive pro-impeachment petitions
Nick Juliano
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is expected to say Thursday morning his push to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney is gaining support among the American people as he collects petitions with more than 100,000 signatures supporting the impeachment drive.
“The Vice President actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. He has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive us about the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda,” Kucinich said in a statement released by his office Wednesday. “And he openly lied to the America people and has publicly threatened aggression against Iran.”
Kucinich introduced his Cheney impeachment resolution in April, and support for the move in Congress has been growing gradually since then, though top Democrats who control its fate seem to have no interest in advancing the legislation. The resolution has attracted 16 co-sponsors in the House.
