[Video] Global Citizens Impeachment Petition Launched

align=”left”OpedNews.com by LadyBroadOak — The charges against the Bush administration really are too serious to ignore, as Congressman Robert Wexler states.

While the phrase “worse than Watergate” is catching on in the public “mind” in the US, the charges against Dick Cheney include collusion in torture and other war crimes in the global mind. He is viewed as an architect in an illegal war.

The momentum for impeachment is evidenced by the collection of 200,000+ signatures on Wexler’s website calling for impeachment hearings.

Internal cries for impeachment proceedings have fallen on the “deaf ears” of the US Congress for years. Yet many know the required Constitutional and international legal remedy for Bush Administration abuses must start with impeachment.

The inaction to stop the war and to continually fund the illegal war – a genocidal war – by US Congress have left global people stunned.

Our call for proper steps to be taken to restore international human rights has been left largely to the court proceedings – proceedings that have been left out of the US mainstream media.

Previously, no impeachment petition was available for signatures of NON US citizens. That’s now been remedied!! And these signatures are verfiable which will give them more “weight”.

Millions, maybe BILLIONS, of global people want to end the US war crimes and see Guantanomo shut down. Many have been exposed to the pictures of the torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib prison. They know that abuse goes on daily in a vast archipalago of “dark sites” sponsored by the US government.

Pinky’s video on the legality or illegality of the Iraq war has been viewed over 800,000 times on you tube!!
This is a clear indiction that global people want a return to the rule of law and an end to the human rights abuses that have ensued.

Both promote a “Global Citizens to Impeach Richard Cheney” petition.

All international pressure that can be assembled must be brought to bear on the US Congress!

The world IS waiting for impeachment of Cheney — and it wants to help see it happen!

This is a chance to bring the antiwar, prohuman rights, and environmental activists of the world together at long last.

We ask that you help us catapault OUR propaganda!!

Pass the link along, ask non US citizens you know to sign up. We’ll forward the signatures to Dennis Kucinich, I promise.

We will be calling Congress (202) 224-3121 and contacting our own media to let them know that a push is on for the immediate impeachment of Richard Cheney in the US Congress and ask that this be given publicity far and wide throughout the world!!

We ask that our voices be heard in the United States Congress. We ask that our concerns be given the highest priority.

The euphemisation of war crimes by the Bush adminstration has allowed the US population to “whitewash” and deny what is happening. We will ensure that media coverage uses the proper legal terminology!! Torture is torture is not “enhanced interrogation techniqes”. Rendition is kidnap; breaking up families by not allowing trials is genocide under Geneva. We will get across that the Bush administration, particularly Richard Cheney, are war criminals.

We will regularly update OpEd News on our progress. Can YOU help us out??

We will be heard by Nancy Pelosi! We want her to know that we are documenting the abuses and the international law violations done by the Bush administration and the collusion of the US Congress. If our petition can help her lose her position as Speaker and clear the way for impeachment – we will cry out in great number.

We have fears that escalations of war by the United States — and retaliation are eminent because of the reciprocity agreements under Geneva. We have learned the lessons of Nuremberg.

We ask that you not collude in war crimes as citizens; demand impeachment – the legal remedy. Your elections cannot end the insanity and instability in the world. The rule of law must be restored.

Please help us end our fears. Please pass the link along!!
