One click to email the entire House Judiciary Committee: HOLD IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS!

[garybeck]

This will take you 30 seconds.

It will be painless.

In a single click, you will send an email to all the House Judiciary Committee members that it's time to begin impeachment hearings on VP Dick Cheney, NOW. (as an added bonus, that moran Nancy Pelosi will also get your email)

Do it, then pass it on. This one really matters.

6. 5th recommendation

one year ago the people of this country sent you a memo i assume you didn't get. they voted for CHANGE. that also included change in the white house. they voted to investigate this criminal administration and hold these so-called leaders accountable! pelosi was NOT speaking for me when she took impeachment off the table. IT WASN'T HERS TO DECIDE. wasserman-schultz said (on ed schultz radio show) that impeachment wasn't even in the top ten of polling. well...is she aware that gallop won't even poll for impeachment?? maybe that explains why it isn't in the top ten of gallop. WE WANT CHENEY INVESTIGATED. WE WANT HEARINGS. WE WANT IMPEACHMENT. impeachment is becoming a MORAL IMPERATIVE and if we go into Iran the democrats will have more blood on their hands than they already have. you all have a duty of uphold the constitution. do your job! prove to the country that democrats can WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME. multi-task: other business AND IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS. your base is in jeopardy--we won't vote republican. we just won't vote. and your refusal to hold cheney & bush accountable will make the 08 election tighter than you can ever guess. the people have spoken and continue to speak. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??

Article VI, The United States Constitution-

"All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoptions of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, and thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

(and here's the take home message...)

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

We, the People, are tired of your games and/or complicity with this runaway misadministration.

59. message to John Conyers

Dear Congressman Conyers:
Today is Veterans Day, 2007. We as a nation are slipping into the worst of times because a rogue Administration has mocked and marginalized our beloved Constitution; the same Constitution we veterans defended with our lives; the same Constitution every member of Congress has vowed to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic, the same Constitution the President denigrated when he said it was a "God damned piece of paper."
It is long past time that the Bush Administration be held to account. The opportunity to hold that accounting is in your hands as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing into the Vice President's crimes against this nation and humanity is necessary, and we the people, and yes veterans, deserve more than lip service. It is incumbent on you as Chairman to begin these hearings in earnest, forthwith. Anything less will go down in History as a slap in the face to all who sacrificed in this nation's name throughout History.

This old veteran would be grateful if you could contact Congressman Conyers and urge him to hold Dick "Five Deferment" Cheney to account.
Let the hearings begin.
His email address is: [email protected]

[Jackpine Radical]

74. Done. Here are my comments, for what it's worth.

I believe that impeachment is the most vital issue currently within reach of Congress. Only an impeachment proceeding would be adequate to break through the media "Wall of Silence" so that the public may at last become fully aware of the egregious wrongs committed by the current Administration. Only an impeachment proceeding can "draw a line in the sand" beyond which our leaders may not go in their grasping for tyrannical powers. Only an impeachment proceeding can restore the lost balance of powers among the three branches of Government.

I understand the arguments against impeachment: that it will distract from other vital actions; that it would give the appearance of a Democratic coup; that the votes are simply not there in the Senate. These are not compelling arguments. First, the Democrats are not going to get meaningful legislation on health care, the environment, or Iraq past Bush's veto in any case. Second, a properly conducted investigation will make it very clear to the public why the impeachment is necessary and justified--and, in any case, if Cheney were impeached first, an acceptable Republican Vice President could be appointed to serve out Bush's term if he were also to be impeached. And third, a proper and thorough investigation would reveal the massive corruption of this Administration in such clear and unambiguous terms that even the Republicans in the Senate would be placing their political futures in dire jeopardy to vote against it.

85. This is the response from the judiciary committee last week! We need to get everyone to do this

including extended family members

For Immediate Release Contact: Jonathan Godfrey
November 6, 2007 Melanie Roussell

(Washington, DC)- A spokeswoman for the House Judiciary Committee issued the following statement today in response to floor action on a house resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney:

"The committee has a very busy agenda - over the next two weeks, we hope to pass a FISA bill, to vote on contempt of Congress citations, pass legislation on prisoner re-entry, court security and a variety of other very important items. We were surprised that the minority was so ready to move forward with consideration of a matter of such complexity as impeaching the Vice President. The Chairman will discuss today's vote with the committee members but it would seem evident that the committee staff should continue to consider, as a preliminary matter, the many abuses of this Administration, including the Vice President." - House Judiciary Committee Spokeswoman

[Vincardog]

75. Done K & r

[ChairmanAgnostic]

76. it was not painless, for

I relived the words of Pelosi, the smirk from Hoyer, and the many actions by Dick Cheney that made this so important. So, at the very least, those memories pained me something fierce.

[mntleo2]

77. Done and added ...

Whether or not you hold hearings now, I also believe the Democratic party should use as a platform that ALL people who supported this administration by their votes while officials went about breaking the law and trampling on the Constitution, that they WILL be held accountable, after the Democrats are elected and a majority. This accountability, should include the Democratic president's prosecution of the previous administration, and that prosecution should include ANY AND ALL who voted for Makasy, because now none of these supporters can say they did not know how this administration operates because they voted with eyes wide open for this man to become the highest law authority in the country in order to protect law breakers and for torture.

[yodermon]

78. Done. My comment:

If impeachment proceedings get front-page coverage, and if the testimony and evidence presented in these proceedings get their deserved air-time, then the sheer volume of outrage and disgust towards the current administration and the GOP as a whole will steamroll Democrats into the Whitehouse -- and into a super-majority in Congress -- for years to come.

My additional 2 cents

As a retired member of the US Army I have a hard time believing that this is not one of the most important duties of the congress to reign in an out of control executive office! I never failed to uphold my oath to defend the constitution in twenty years of service as a non commissioned officer yet we have an administration that not only ignores the laws they swore to uphold but commits outright treason by outing a Covert CIA Agent for political gain. Then they commute the sentence of one of their own to keep him silent with their deeds by keeping the person from going to jail for his treasonous acts. It is better late than never but you must do the right thing and impeach these criminals in the White House before they start another unjustified war!

[solara]

81. Done with fervor! Thank you for making it so easy and accessible.

My personal note:

"While we still have a Constitution, you must do your duty as our elected representatives. It is a complete mystery as to why this administration is still NOT being held accountable, even though we voted for accountability just a year ago. At the very least this administration's lies have resulted in the grievous injury and death of thousands and thousands of our own people.

AT. THE. VERY. LEAST.

We are counting on YOU to do your duty to protect and defend our Country, our Constitution and We the People."

The Constitution is what gives us the remedy for Cheney's impending war with Iran and proper removal for his past crimes. To say impeachment is off the table is to say the Constitution, which you are sworn to defend, is off the table, and that you are a bald-faced liar and accomplice to high crimes and misdemeanors. That is how history will judge you should you fail to do the right thing.

[lunatica]

84. Done

And I added that they've consistently tried to use the excuse that pursuing impeachment will take away from 'real' work, but to not pursue this will make their 'real' work as worthless as the paper it's written on. In the end that will mean their legacy will be that they will have done nothing.

92. Thank you with message included

I used the link and included the following message with it:

This far and no FURTHER!

Impeachment is not only morally necessary, it is imperative to the correction of course needed for this once great nation. The Executive branch has pushed too far and must be pushed back. The three branches of government are co-equal and they all must answer to one thing, the Constitution. We are a country of laws, where all must answer. No one is above the Constitution, no one.

Vice President Cheney and his office are responsible for the most egregious crimes that have occured in this Administration, and these crimes must be investigated. This is something that cannot wait. This is something that cannot be held "off the table". And this isn't even only about treason within our own country, we're talking international laws here. International treaties are being ignored, war crimes we once admonished are now being actively pursued.

There is nothing more important, NOTHING, than investigating and bringing to justice those responsible for the most heinous of crimes, the systematic destruction of our once revolutionary form of government.

- We were lied into this war on purpose.
- Over a million innocents are dead.
- We now unconstitutionally authorize torture.
- We unconstitutionally approve of extraordinary rendition.
- We now unconstitutionally wiretap our own citizens.
- Almost every law is signed using an unconstitutional signing statement.
- An agent of the CIA was outed as punishment by the Executive branch, treason.
- Bush practically pardoned Libby for protecting Cheney, unconstitutional.
- Federal judges were fired for disagreeing with the political views of the Executive branch.
- Cheney is now again working to fix the intelligence to get us to unconstitutionally invade yet another sovereign nation, Iran.

The list goes on and on and on, almost without end.

Stand up for what is right.
Protect your oath.
Defend the people and the laws you represent.
Restore the greatness of this nation.

IMPEACH for the past.
IMPEACH for the present.
IMPEACH for our future.

If not now,when will we hold this administration accountable?

Please start impeachment hearings under bill# 333 for our vice president Richard Cheney,who if- "he is not part of the executive branch"- should not be given any executive privileges.

I hold that his actions and deceptions have been perpetrated for his personal agenda, and that they are in contrary interest to his sworn duty to the United States of America and his oath to defend and protect our Constitution. All efforts should be made to bring about the truth of the nature of his intentional misinformation and dismissal of actual experienced advice. His actions and lack of have gravely cost our Country.

There is nothing I can say here that hasn't already been said before, and every last one of you knows very well the truth of this dangerous and criminal organization within our government. Nevertheless, I will briefly remind you here of just a couple of points. The first is that you all took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the very same constitution that Bush and Cheney are shredding. Secondly, defending that constitution MUST be your first priority. The American people are not interested in any nonsense about impeachment being a distraction from "more important matters." There ARE no more important matters. This country is falling to fascism at the hands of a rogue administration. For the sake of America AND the world, that administration cannot be allowed to continue another year. IMPEACH Bush and Cheney NOW!

156. Done...

But when I sent it there was a message at the top of the next page which told me that "someone with the same e-mail handle has already sent this message". I guess I did this sometime earlier at this web address. I was saddened however that the carefully worded added comments I put in this time never made it through.

160. Count me in, too bad we can't keep this thread going until it happens!!!

161. Done and this is what I wrote.

How can you say that laws should be enforced when you as a Congressman or Congresswoman allow laws to continuously be broken by the highest officials in the United States.
The majority of the PEOPLE want to see impeachment now! It is not a waste of time or resources. It is the law. It is time and the resources are in our precious Constitution.
I will vote against any person that does not vote to impeach. I cannot vote for cowards. :dem:

162. When I did it I included the comment "Many of the actions of Richard B. Cheney meet/exceed

our Constitution's definition of a domestic enemy of The United States of America."

I've also made similar comments to the offices of John Conyers, Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Kucinich, several other Congress members and all of the citizens I have talked politics with in the past two weeks.

Kick.

October 27, 2007 City & County Building Salt Lake City, Utah

Address by Mayor Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson

Today, as we come together once again in this great city, we raise our voices in unison to say to President Bush, to Vice President
Cheney, to other members of the Bush Administration (past and
present), to a majority of Congress, including Utah's entire
congressional delegation, and to much of the mainstream media: "You have failed us miserably and we won't take it any more."

While we had every reason to expect far more of you, you have been pompous, greedy, cruel, and incompetent as you have led this great nation to a moral, military, and national security abyss." "You have breached trust with the American people in the most egregious ways. you have utterly failed in the performance of your jobs. You have undermined our Constitution, permitted the violation of the most
fundamental treaty obligations, and betrayed the rule of law.

You have engaged in, or permitted, heinous human rights abuses of the sort never before countenanced in our nation's history as a matter of official policy. You have sent American men and women to kill and be killed on the basis of lies, on the basis of shifting justifications, without competent leadership, and without even a coherent plan for this monumental blunder.

We are here to tell you: We won't take it any more!

You have acted in direct contravention of values that we, as
Americans who love our country, hold dear. You have deceived us in the most cynical, outrageous ways. You have undermined, or allowed the undermining of, our constitutional system of checks and balances among the three presumed co-equal branches of government. You have helped lead our nation to the brink of fascism, of a dictatorship contemptuous of our nation's treaty obligations, federal statutory law, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

Because of you, and because of your jingoistic false 'patriotism,'
our world is far more dangerous, our nation is far more despised, and the threat of terrorism is far greater than ever before. It has been absolutely astounding how you have committed the most horrendous acts, causing such needless tragedy in the lives of millions of people, yet you wear your so-called religion on your sleeves, asserting your God-is-on-my-side nonsense - when what you have done flies in the face of any religious or humanitarian tradition. Your hypocrisy is mind-boggling - and disgraceful.

What part of "Thou shalt not kill" do you not understand? What part of the "Golden rule" do you not understand? What part of "be honest," "be responsible," and "be accountable" don't you understand? What part of "Blessed are the peacekeepers" do you not understand?

Because of you, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, many thousands of people have suffered horrendous lifetime injuries, and millions have been run off from their homes. For the sake of our nation, for the sake of our children, and for the sake of our brothers and sisters around the world, we are morally compelled to say, as loudly as we can, 'We won't take it any more!' "

As United States agents kidnap, disappear, and torture human beings around the world, you justify, you deceive, and you cover up. We find what you have done to men, women and children, and to the good name and reputation of the United States, so appalling, so unconscionable, and so outrageous as to compel us to call upon you to step aside and allow other men and women who are competent, true to our nation's values, and with high moral principles to stand in your places - for the good of our nation, for the good of our children, and for the good of our world.

In the case of the President and Vice President, this means
impeachment and removal from office, without any further delay from a complacent, complicit Congress, the Democratic majority of which cares more about political gain in 2008 than it does about the vindication of our Constitution, the rule of law, and democratic accountability.It means the election of people as President and Vice President who, unlike most of the presidential candidates from both major parties, have not aided and abetted in the perpetration of the illegal, tragic, devastating invasion and occupation of Iraq. And it means the election of people as President and Vice President who will commit to return our nation to the moral and strategic imperative of refraining from torturing human beings.

In the case of the majority of Congress, it means electing people who are diligent enough to learn the facts, including reading available National Intelligence Estimates, before voting to go to war. It means electing to Congress men and women who will jealously guard Congress's sole prerogative to declare war. It means electing to Congress men and women who will not submit like vapid lap dogs to presidential requests for blank checks to engage in so-called preemptive wars, for legislation permitting warrantless wiretapping of communications involving US citizens, and for dangerous, irresponsible, saber-rattling legislation like the recent Kyl- Lieberman amendment.

We must avoid the trap of focusing the blame solely upon President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. This is not just about a few people who have wronged our country - and the world. They were enabled by members of both parties in Congress, they were enabled by the pathetic mainstream news media, and, ultimately, they have been enabled by the American people - 40% of whom are so ill-informed they still think Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks - a people who know and care more about baseball statistics and which drunken starlets are
wearing underwear than they know and care about the atrocities being committed every single day in our name by a government for which we need to take responsibility.

As loyal Americans, without regard to political partisanship -- as
veterans, as teachers, as religious leaders, as working men and
women, as students, as professionals, as businesspeople, as public servants, as retirees, as people of all ages, races, ethnic origins, sexual orientations, and faiths -- we are here to say to the Bush administration, to the majority of Congress, and to the mainstream media: "You have violated your solemn responsibilities. You have undermined our democracy, spat upon our Constitution, and engaged in outrageous, despicable acts. You have brought our nation to a point of immorality, inhumanity, and illegality of immense, tragic, unprecedented proportions."

But we will live up to our responsibilities as citizens, as brothers
and sisters of those who have suffered as a result of the imperial
bullying of the United States government, and as moral actors who must take a stand: And we will, and must, mean it when we say 'We won't take it any more.

If we want principled, courageous elected officials, we need to be principled, courageous, and tenacious ourselves. History has
demonstrated that our elected officials are not the leaders - the
leadership has to come from us. If we don't insist, if we don't
persist, then we are not living up to our responsibilities as
citizens in a democracy - and our responsibilities as moral human beings. If we remain silent, we signal to Congress and the Bush administration - and to candidates running for office - and to the world - that we support the status quo.

Silence is complicity. Only by standing up for what's right and never letting down can we say we are doing our part. Our government, on the basis of a campaign we now know was entirely fraudulent, attacked and militarily occupied a nation that posed no danger to the United States. Our government, acting in our name, has caused immense, unjustified death and destruction.

It all started five years ago, yet where have we, the American
people, been? At this point, we are responsible. We get together once in a while at demonstrations and complain about Bush and Cheney, about Congress, and about the pathetic news media. We point fingers and yell a lot. Then most people politely go away until another demonstration a few months later.

How many people can honestly say they have spent as much time learning about and opposing the outrages of the Bush administration as they have spent watching sports or mindless television programs during the past five years? Escapist, time-sapping sports and insipid entertainment have indeed become the opiate of the masses. Why is this country so sound asleep? Why do we abide what is happening to our nation, to our Constitution, to the cause of peace and international law and order? Why are we not doing all in our power to put an end to this madness?

We should be in the streets regularly and students should be raising hell on our campuses. We should be making it clear in every way possible that apologies or convoluted, disingenuous explanations just don't cut it when presidential candidates and so many others voted to authorize George Bush and his neo-con buddies to send American men and women to attack and occupy Iraq.

Let's awaken, and wake up the country by committing here and now to do all each of us can to take our nation back. Let them hear us across the country, as we ask others to join us: "We won't take it any more!"

I implore you: Draw a line. Figure out exactly where your own moral breaking point is. How much will you put up with before you say "No more" and mean it?

I have drawn my line as a matter of simple personal morality: I
cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has voted to fund the atrocities in Iraq. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who will not commit to remove all US troops, as soon as possible, from Iraq. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has supported legislation that takes us one step closer to attacking Iran. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has not fought to stop the kidnapping, disappearances, and torture being carried on in our name.

If we expect our nation's elected officials to take us seriously, let
us send a powerful message they cannot misunderstand. Let them know we really do have our moral breaking point. Let them know we have rawn a bright line. Let them know they cannot take our support for granted - that, regardless of their party and regardless of other political considerations, they will not have our support if they cannot provide, and have not provided, principled leadership.

The people of this nation may have been far too quiet for five years, but let us pledge that we won't let it go on one more day - that we will do all we can to put an end to the illegalities, the moral degradation, and the disintegration of our nation's reputation in the world.

Let us be unified in drawing the line - in declaring that we do have a moral breaking point. Let us insist, together, in supporting our troops and in gratitude for the freedoms for which our veterans gave so much, that we bring our troops home from Iraq, that we return our government to a constitutional democracy, and that we commit to honoring the fundamental principles of human rights.

In defense of our country, in defense of our Constitution, in defense of our shared values as Americans - and as moral human beings - we declare today that we will fight in every way possible to stop the insanity, stop the continued military occupation of Iraq, and stop the moral depravity reflected by the kidnapping, disappearing, and torture of people around the world.
