Impeachment: Partisan Politics or a Defense Against Tyranny?

# Will impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney really a waste of time? Is there no positive benefit to impeachment?
# Is there a diffence between an impeachment investigation and any of the myriad investigations now underway in congress?
# Is it political suicide?

These questions and more will be answered by experts this Sunday, June 24th at Seattle University. Not only will your questions be answered but you'll have an opportunity to teach the gospel of impeachment to others.

The impeachment of President Clinton did not serve to protect the Constitution or prevent abuses of power. Those issues were never in question. It was a political act designed to weaken the Clinton presidency, soil the Democrats brand and give the GOP the edge in the next election.

Today, when our leaders have seriously compromised the Constitution, restricted our civil rights, undermined the balance of powers, engaged in criminal acts and defrauded both Congress and the nation, some of us still shy away from impeachment. We associate it with the partisan witch-hunt and media circus of the Clinton impeachment instead of the orderly process that led to President Nixon's resignation and saved our democracy.

We cannot restore our nation to health by simply electing a new leader. Elections will not repudiate the illegality of the Bush administration or restore our Constitution.
