"I’m calling to confirm my cosponsorship of H Res 333 to impeach Bush and Cheney," US Rep. Filner (D-CA) told Atlanta Progressive News in a phone interview.

"These guys have governed with cynicism and complete contempt of the American people from the beginning," Filner said.

"For political reasons impeachment was taken off the table," Filner said.

"The latest... to say he’s above the law and he’s not part of the Executive Branch... he’s just gone too far for the average American citizen," Filner said.

H Res 333 is Articles of Impeachment of Vice President Cheney. President Bush’s impeachment has also been proposed–although not yet through any bill–by several Members of Congress.

Currently, 10 total cosponsors are listed on the Library of Congress website for H Res 333: US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), plus US Reps. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Janice Schakowsky (D-IL), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Albert Wynn (D-MD), so far.

Two additional cosponsors confirmed by APN are US Rep. McDermott (D-WA) and US Rep. Filner (D-CA).
