Bush Impeachment. Have you signed the petition?

Postby highcrimes on Tue Aug 19, 2008 2:45 pm

7 Aug 2008, Congressman Dennis Kucinich delivered a petition bearing more than 100,000 names to the Speaker of the House urging that impeachment proceedings begin into the conduct of President Bush. In a special video message, Dennis is asking for your help to deliver an even more powerful message to Congress when it reconvenes in September. asks for more signatures in his petition, to be presented once again to Congress. 100,000 so far, more needed. This is extremely important, because, a lack of support resulted Kucinich's failing in his attempt to impeach Dick Cheney, Nov. 6th 2007.

Ask why mainstream press has not covered the impeachment of George W Bush, for high crimes and misdemeanors? Does this not totally discredit the mainstream press? 35 articles were placed infront of Congress (see below), 34 more than Bill Clinton, and, remember how much coverage that got. Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is blocking the hearings. Does this not totally discredit the left-right, democrat-republican paradigm? Note that Cindy Sheehan has qualified to stand against her as an independent! Please, do the patriotic thing, sign the petition today. Tell your friends and family about it, print the petition and get all you know to sign it. take time to watch some of Kuchinich's speach on the Congress floor. It is over 4hrs long, and Kuchinich speeds through the hearing, covering enough ground to make your head spin.

- Later, further to the first hearing, L.A. County Prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, author of The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder, best known for his successful 1970 prosecution of Charles Manson, made further representations to the Judiciary committee, along with Dennis Kucinich and Bob Barr, who is now 2008 Libertarian nominee for President of the United States.

Article VII - Invading Iraq Absent a Declaration of War.


Congress should also be impeached for allowing him to go to war. Under the US constitution only Congress has the power to declare war.

Not to burst anyone's bubble here....But on-line 'petitions' are worthless and do not go towards a legitamate signed petition count.

So I personally don't even bother with looking at them myself. Let alone wasting my time 'signing' them.

Alicorns. This petition will be delivered, personally, to Congress, by Congressman Denis Kucinich, as he pushes forward with his already advanced attempts to impeach George W Bush. The last petition was delivered to the the Congressional Judiciary Committee. Kucinich has already delivered the 35 articles to the Congress floor, prior to the hearing, in a 4.5hr speach. Just because the corporate whore media aren't covering it, doesn't mean that it isn't real.

I downloaded the whole PDF w/ these articles of impeachment & signed a few weeks ago. I completely support Kucinich's efforts in this matter.

Bush is a criminal. Even after out of office, he should be impeached. The US is in far, far, far worse shape (in virtually every respect) than it was when Bush first took office. He misled the American people, trampled on our rights and is, IMO, a war criminal. Impeach his ass!
