VOTE TO IMPEACH
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org
The anti-war movement has now inaugurated a campaign to
impeach George W. Bush and other senior U.S. government
officials for their criminal conduct. The planned war
against Iraq and the destruction of constitutionally
protected rights at home are the grounds for impeachment.
The articles of impeachment, drafted by former Attorney
General Ramsey Clark, are the basis for a grassroots
effort to remove Bush from office as we organize to stop
the war. Please visit the site
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org and cast your vote to Impeach
Bush. Let your family members, friends and co-workers
learn about the movement to impeach George Bush for high
crimes and misdemeanors.
While we build mass street actions against the war it is
important to utilize every avenue open to the people to
hold the government accountable for its criminal conduct.
The U.S. Constitution provides for a mechanism to hold
administration officials culpable for criminal abuse of
authority and usurpation of power.
The votes submitted in this campaign will be delivered to
the House Judiciary Committee and the leadership from both
parties on the committee. Representatives of
VoteToImpeach.org will also carry out a campaign in the
mass media publicizing the efforts of thousands of people
in the United States to impeach George W. Bush and the
architects of his unconstitutional policies.
See below for more information, or go directly to
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org to see articles of
impeachment setting forth high crimes and misdemeanors by
President Bush and other civil officers of his
administration, and to cast your vote!
***************
George W. Bush Must Answer to the People
[adapted from Ramsey Clark's address to the half a million
demonstrators at the January 18th National March on
Washington to Stop the War on Iraq organized by
International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End
Racism)]
The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing
George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression
against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike
potentially nuclear preemptive war. It's called
impeachment.
High Crimes and Misdemeanors
Impeachment is the direct constitutional means for
removing a President, Vice President or other civil
officers of the United States who has acted or threatened
acts that are serious offenses against the Constitution,
its system of government, or the rule of law, or that are
conventional crimes of such a serious nature that they
would injure the Presidency if there was no removal.
A Constitutional Imperative
Impeachment appears six times in the U.S. Constitution.
The Founders weren't concerned with anything more than
with impeachment because they had lived under King George
III and had in 1776 accused the king of all the things
that George W. Bush wants to do: Usurpation of the power
of the people; Being above the law; Criminal abuse of
authority.
Power Remains in the Hands of the People
Impeachment is the means by which We The People of the
United States and our elected representatives in Congress
can prevent further crimes by the President and the human
catastrophe they threaten and force accountability for
crimes committed.
Save the Constitution, the U.N., and Countless Human Lives
Congressional proceedings for impeachment can bring about
open, fearless consideration of the most dangerous acts
and threats ever committed by an American President. If
courageously pursued, they can save our Constitution, the
United Nations, the rule of law, the lives of countless
people and leave open the possibility of peace on earth.
The Time for Action is Now
Each of us must take a stand on impeachment now, or bear
the burden of having failed to speak in this hour of
maximum peril.
