OpEdNews » Judiciary Committee contact info, 3 mainstream polls, petition for impeachment

The Aide at my US Representative's office said that (despite the media black-out) they are getting "lots" of calls about Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment. What's more is that "100% of the calls are for impeachment".

Keep in mind that I live in a very liberal area of the country. However, the mainstream polls below would indicate that impeachment sentiment is on the rise. MSNBC's poll, only twelve hours after Kucinich filed the articles of impeachment, soared at 89% in favor. AOL's poll as of yesterday was 80% of constituents saying "YES". USA Today's poll was 57% in favor (if I remember correctly) as of yesterday. Check them out for today's most current ratings, and better yet, weigh in! The more, the better. This is centrally important!

Wars based on lies are at issue here. Life and death hangs in the balance. Free speech is under attack in post-911 legislation: Just check out the facts on the ACLU and Center for Constitutional Rights's websites for proof! No foolin' around: Let's all do our part! www.aclu.org www.ccrjustice.com

Kucinich has promised to introduce yet another "privileged resolution" of impeachment if this one is turned down. Public sentiment for impeachment is currently fueled by the torture and Valerie Plame cases being on the air. As the public finds out more based on Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment, that sentiment is only going to climb in favor of removing Bush and Cheney from office. Write your editor a letter and help get the facts out there, and that public sentiment will only climb even further. It will skyrocket!

And as public sentiment skyrockets, my friends I disagree with anyone who says that politicians just don't care: Nonsense. Has anyone else here also seen when signatures from Moveon.org come in by the millions, how politicians reverse their positions, 180 degrees? Surely I am not the only one to have seen that, by a long shot! Politicians want to maintain their seat in public office. It's only if the media blacks out the rave, then they can get away with the obvious. But even then, the power of the Internet is so powerful, and we have a role to play. A centrally important one. In order to prevent Congress from playing any games, we ourselves must take responsibility for doing our part. Email chains, post to blogs, ahoy! Here we come! Look out, world!

If we don't impeach now, then future presidents will "get the message" that they, too, can literally get away with murder. Israeli radio has recently announced Bush's plans to attack Iran within the next few months: A move that could get China involved and finally invoke WW III. Nothing could profit Haliburton more, of course, so that is exactly what Bush and Cheney want.

We've simply got to stop this nonsense! No foolin' around. May I urge each of you to take off a day from work if you have to---call in sick. Treat this as if life and death are at stake, because....they are!

Please pass word around. Contact the Judiciary Committee, in its entirety: Contact info below for the COmmittee as a whole, and for each individual member thereof, was posted as a result of the very motivated work of Meryl Ann Butler: Wow, Meryl, what a lot of time you spent! Thank you! I have copied and pasted it, below.

The MSNBC, AOL, and USA Today polls are below: Please take a moment and vote.

Democrats.com's petition for impeachment in support of Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment is also below: Please sign it.

Then call your US Representative to indicate support for impeachment. The more signatures/statistics they can wave on the House floor, the greater the chances of winning the cause.

Any House member who opposes impeachment, please remind them, in writing and by phone call, that they too are vulnerable to global warming and casualty by WW III. No bodyguard or money or power can protect them from either one. Please remind them that we PAY them to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution, and that the well-being of the entire world is at stake. If they don' t care, we will ALL work with the stroke of our pens to expose their voting records and oust them from public office.

Remember: This is NOT about whether or not THEY support impeachment, which is to imply unilateral powers. Just what they' d love. Their job, instead, is to implement OUR will, as a greater public. Period. Insist on it, and don't ask what THEY want! That's exactly the backward road to go in a Democracy. Thanks!

Finally, please pass this article around. Copy and paste the contents thereof and sign your own name to it: I care not one iota, I repeat: Not one---about my name being attached. I do care plenty that this mission work. Please let's all help and do our part! Then we will have time for complaining thereafter. Repeat: Life and death hang in the balance. Please take the time to do this, and then pass this on by email. Thank you so much for your time and motivation!

I called Kucinich and Wexlers offices to ask who we should call. I have a list of links for every newspaper, radio and news station on the web. I have a list on my site of the links to all of the committee members, links to where you can find your local representatives, link to where you can see the articles and one that you can see who votes to table and who voted to send to committee. My Representative, Thelma Drake told a friend of mine tonight that she hadn't really heard much about the impeachment and was going to have to look into it, then we found the list and she had voted to table. Check yours!! There are also other people I was told by the Congressmen we should be contacting. Please go check it out and make sure that you contact everyone you can!!! Once they are gone that's it, once we have bombed Iran, it's all over. Please help!! I am circulating petitions in my district to present to Thelma Drake. At least make sure that people know it is even happening. People don't know. If they knew, the impeachment would happen. Let them know that these men must be brought to justice!!

Here is my list:

As this is the highest ranking article on impeachment

I want to put in some additional information right here on top.

Nancy Pelosi can also be removed by state legislatures. This activity has been going on "behind the scenes". An unusual move to be sure, and it's never been "tested" but is entirely within the Constitution. With the release of the DoD emails and McClellan's book, the legal activity is feverish to get out all the relevant indictments.

While other petitions calling for Pelosi's removal can be signed only by US citizens, I offer the following information .. Anyone can sign Scott Creighton's petition against Nancy Pelosi.

The moment is ours - let's now seize it!

- Please circulate widely -

Now that the Articles of Impeachment (H Res 1258) have been read out clearly by Dennis Kucinich, a good time for a reminder that we must REMOVE Nancy Pelosi, and keep calling the states' Attorneys General throughout the day .. This is what must be done as we wait for more whistleblowers to confess and for more cosigners to come forward to co-signers of the resolution.

We know that PELOSI will attempt to block impeachment proceedings and this would make the United States a FAILED NATION that cannot police itself.

Pelosi must NOT be allowed to serve as President as the Constitution stipulates.

http://www.petitiononline.com/ev...n/ petition.html

Above is the link to sign the petition for Pelosi's removal as Speaker of the House and can be signed by non-US citizens.

Those state Attorneys General who do NOT pursue WAR CRIMES prosecutions will ALSO be guilty of war crimes very soon. They MUST uphold Geneva or ELSE. And remember: what has happened must NEVER be allowed to happen ever again. That is the legacy of Nuremberg.

Many of them are reading the notes on prosecutions NOW and lawyers from the ACLU and the NLG have filled them in on details in the past few months.

The lawyers for We the People continue working hard on the prosecutions leading to WAR CRIMES convictions ..

My entire blog has all the relevant information available http://ladybroadoak.blogspot.com/2008/02/special-prosecutor-information-plz.html

and a free swicki on war crimes and Constitutional criminality is available, and the link includes the free .pdf on Bush's international war crimes, applicable to ALL the global war criminals in the GWOT.

Did Nancy Pelosi just think everyone sat on their backsides for the past eight years ???

She will find out there is NO statue of limitations on WAR CRIMES (as if she didn't know that - she has access to legal advisors.
She may be the most despicable female on the planet after Condi Rice, Harriet Meiers and/or Karen Hughes .. although someone mentioned Madeleine Albright recently. )

As you go about your business of the day,

REMEMBER

1 million Irakis are assumed to have died
4 million more are refugees - many undocumented
(children are being used as prostitutes !)
The war in Afghanistan continues
The kangaroo courts in Guantanamo Bay are illegal
In the vast archipelago of black sites the torture continues
Depleted uranium weapons are illegal
9/11 TRUTH has yet to be exposed
The US economy is in a nose dive and must be fixed
Palestinians have a right of return
The War on Drugs is a total failure
Earthchanges are upon us

The human suffering must be stopped

and it is NOT "business as usual"

after a war that has lasted longer than WWII !

just to name a few of "The Problems"

and We the People have the power, really.

Don't be so "pre-occupied" like Nancy you don't sign the petition;
it's not "business" as usual now that the DoD emails have been released
and Scott McClellan's book has come out.

. . .

Genocide is the Supreme international crime.

NO ONE IS BEYOND THE LAW

We the People should have our WAR CRIMES indictments finished by June 16th or so, that includes the information on how INFORMATION WARFARE was used against us..

(The videos of the Kucinich and the other presentations are available on youtube.)

Meanwhile, can you have your friends discuss this new solution as what has happened can never be allowed to happen to the American democracy again

State Legislatures Moving To Remove Pelosi As Speaker

"How's the effort to remove Pelosi as speaker?", you're wondering . .

1. Identified the legal precedent to have her removed:

http://www.gpo.gov/congress/hous...text/ hrm14.html

"Speaker may be removed at the will of the House, and a Speaker pro tempore appointed, 2 Grey, 186; 5 Grey, 134."

2. Identified the mechanism by which the state legislatures can review the charges against the Speaker; and pass a resolution calling for the House to remove her.
House Rule 603 Permits the States to Pass resolutions calling for changes in leadership:
http://www.impeachbush.tv/impeac...each/ rules.html
Also, note this:

"A resolution for the removal of an officer is presented as a matter of privilege (I, 284-286; VI, 35), and a resolution declaring the office of Speaker vacant presents a question of constitutional privilege (VI, 35).

http://www.gpo.gov/congress/hous...text/ hrm14.html

2. Draft indictments against the Speaker have been written: Charges, allegations against the speaker warranting her removal as Speaker:

- A. Allegedly aiding and abetting enemies of the Constitution: Assenting to agreements which are not the Supreme Law, but acting is if those alleged agreement were Supreme, in defiance of her oath of office.

- B. Alleged breach of her oath of office: Having mental reservations about whether the Constitution is or is not the Supreme Law, as evidenced by the decision to allegedly thwart, block, and not permit review of evidence related to impeachment; and

- C. Allegedly bringing discredit upon the house -- failing to enforce the Constitution; blocking investigations into illegal misconduct.

Please forward the above links to your friends, State Attorney Generals, and Legislatures. This will form the basis for the removal for the Speaker; and for your State Legislatures to debate a proclamation calling for the House to remove Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.

CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Kathryn,

Thanks for the kudos, but they mostly go to Anita Stewart who sent me the list in the first place. She tirelessly and manually sent this list out to many, I wanted to provide an easier way, so she could just send a link to ne source, in addition to passing the word to OEN readers. So, I just enlivened links and wrote a 7-sentence "article."

Now she can send the link to yours! Wow, what a rousing, matriotic, passionate and inspiring call to the arms of support! Yeeeeoooowzaaaaa!!! Thank you, Kathryn!

I am traveling next week, so I will use airport/airplane time to send postcards, hand written to all on the list! Plus call on the cell!

This is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of their country!

This is the moment that we have been given to carve out the bright new future of America!

Impeachment is the tool for releasing Democracy from her shackles, and restoring this republic to balance!

The Criminally Insane Are To Be Pitied Most, Us included

Remember the Criminally Insane Are To Be Pitied Most

Let's be candid about the obstruction of justice no longer being the only crime to accuse Conyers and company of, but complicity in the continuing mass murder of the occupation wars - actually now more than complicty, rather prime guilt being that the articles of impeachment have been filed and/but criminally buried. E.g. see below article:

Friday, June 13, 2008
Conyers Himself Answered, So I Told Him He Was The Most Guilty
(10 comments) I called Rep. Conyers's office, and was surprised to reach the Congressman in person. I charged that, because he was blocking the impeachment process, I held him even more responsible than Bush for the ongoing disaster in Iraq. Conyers didn't hang up.

Who is more guilty, more criminally insane? Bush, Cheney, or Pelosi and Conyers. Remember Conyers is the lynch pin of Bush, Cheney, impeachment denial.

Call 'em, and when speaking or leaving messages keep in mind the insane are to be pitied, whether criminally so or not. Call all mainstream Dems organizations like Move On as well. Talk it up among ourselves, what good is free speech if no one is talking?

Fine article.
