Mr. Kucinich’s deliverance of articles of Impeachment to the House of Representatives, occurring right now, is news that the entire country should be aware of! How long will we allow the Mainstream News Media to enable this criminal administration? If attempting to impeach the President of the United States isn’t “Breaking News”, then what is? CNN’s claim that they are the “best news source in the US” is a hollow claim and represents the CNN of yesteryear - not today. CNN, as well as ABC, Faux News, and other MSM entities have betrayed the people of this country and are likely failing to report this important story so people will not be aware of what Mr. Kucinich is attempting, which will help to stifle support from the everyday citizen that would call-in and support this important measure!
If CNN would have covered this important event, Americans could have tuned into C-Span and understood the many crimes that the Bush administration has perpetrated against the American public. It is the lack of knowledge of the general public that has allowed President Bush to break our laws with impunity! It is the enabling of news sources such as CNN that are partially responsible for this criminal administration, and they share in the blame of the many crimes that President Bush is guilty of - and we need to tell CNN how they have betrayed the American people by failing to cover important events such as this, which if the people don’t know about, are unable to support through no fault of their own - but because of a MSM that refuses to inform the public of the danger we are in from a Presidency that is still violating our laws.
Our Mainstream New Media has failed us again, and the failure to inform the public that the crimes of George W. Bush are being laid-out on C-Span even while I’m typing this brief article demonstrates that Bush has too much power and the corporations that own the MSM are attempting to dumb-down the public in an effort to keep their puppet in office. CNN is not longer a viable news source, and people need to get their news off the Internet, the last bastion of truth in the United States. I’m sure they will cover it after-the fact, however, this was a chance for the American public to become aware of the crimes of the Bush administration in great detail, and most Americans are still woefully under-informed of the secrecy of the White House and how many crimes have been perpetrated against the general population. Shame on you CNN! How will you explain to the people that you failed to inform us of an issue being aired on C-Span that would have educated the American people? Impeachment efforts often fail because the general public is not privy to the breadth and scope of crimes that have been committed against them, and par for the course, America’s supposedly “premier news source” failed us again, and this time, their refusal to report upon this important event is inexcusable and deplorable, par for the course when you consider that CNN is owned by General Electric (and donated 1.1 million to GW Bush for his 2000 election campaign), a huge corporate conglomerate that is profiting from the Wars in Iran and Afghanistan, and would likely profit from a war with Iran.
Let’ face it, our MSM is useless when it pertains to the crimes of the Bush administration, and are complicit and enabling his crimes by failing to report upon important issues that could help to support the impeachment of George W. Bush.

Update: It’s 5:36 AM Eastern Time and I’ve checked all of the major networks, and there isn’t a word on the impeachment resolution being presented to the House of Representatives by Dennis Kucinich! We have two (2) days to get on the ball to call Congress and demand that they support the articles of impeachment. Mr. Kucinich laid-out 35 Articles of Impeachment and articulated each of them quite well, so now it falls upon the people to take-up the cause and ring the phones off the hook in all of the Representatives offices to support these articles of impeachment.
Please check back later this morning, and I will have links with phone numbers for your Representative, especially “impeachment is off the table” Pelosi, and we need to remind them that it’s their duty, not prerogative, to uphold the constitution of the United States and Impeach President Bush; Kucinich needs to add Darth Cheney, and also Pelosi, as she doesn’t deserve to ascend to the Presidency for her utter disrespect of the people when she arbitrarily took impeachment off the table. We are presented with a monumental task, but I watched the hearings last night, and in essence, we have very little time to show our support and make Congress understand that this is the will of the American people and nobody, especially a sitting President, is above the law!
I sincerely believe if the people will take the time to make those calls, we can force them to pass the articles of impeachment, and then the Senate will be our next target. Think about the high prices you’re paying for food and gas, and understand that impeaching President Bush will almost instantly bolster the dollar, which will help to lower oil prices and will send a message to our next President that he has to work within the confines of our constitution and rule of law or face the same fate. Our democracy and way of life is at stake, and the time it will take to make the calls is minuscule compared to how we will all suffer if Bush remains in office and attacks Iran. I will post the rest of the information on this article as soon as possible.
These are the phone numbers for the House of Representatives. Please call your Representative as soon as possible, starting this morning, and please don’t quit calling until the House approves the Articles of Impeachment and they are sent to the Senate for debate and voting! If we ring those numbers off the hook, Congress will understand that the people want this done, and to fail us will mean they will not be re-elected! (And don’t be shy when you’re talking and remind them that their re-election depends on supporting this resolution.
The list of Representatives I posted earlier had numbers in it that were no longer in service. To make it easier, the web address listed below is entitled “Write your Representative”, however, it also has the phone number included. All you have to go is enter your state and zip code, and his name and phone number will be displayed:
I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/
Everywhere you look, there are calls for people to call Congress and support this call to impeach President Bush. I've called every member of the House leadership myself this morning, and we all need to do the same. Call your individual Representatives and make a fuss - tell them their jobs depend on upholding their oaths of office, and believe me, they won't appreciate it one bit!
There are times when "we the people" have to step up to the plate and take the few minutes to voice our opinions. Bush is getting hit from all directions right now, and the time is becomming ripe to throw him and Cheney out of office, but to do it, we have to join together in solidarity and actually take the time to make our voices heard.

Correct. I looked it up last night and saw that GE owned CNBC and erroneously stated they owned CNN. I might add that GE does own the following television entities:
“Television Holdings:
* NBC: includes 13 stations, 28% of US households.
* NBC Network News: The Today Show, Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, Meet the Press, Dateline NBC, NBC News at Sunrise.
* CNBC business television; MSNBC 24-hour cable and Internet news service (co-owned by NBC and Microsoft); Court TV (co-owned with Time Warner), Bravo (50%), A&E (25%), History Channel (25%).
The “MS” in MSNBC means microsoft The same Microsoft that donated 2.4 million to get GW bush elected.” click here
It’s noteworthy that when I checked this morning, none of the major networks were covering this issue. Yahoo News did run a story on it, and my compliments to them on covering this issue. NBC IS NOT covering the issue, the same as CNN, and it’s more of the “dumbing down of America” so people wont know the real issues and crimes that Bush has perpetrated against the people.
I’ve called all of the House Majority Leaders this morning, and some of them seem aggravated that they are being called… What a shame that they are bothered with the privilege and DUTY of supposedly upholding our constitution and rule of law. Besides needing another President, it is fast becoming obvious that Congress needs to be replaced as well, which is indicated by a lower approval rating than the President himself!

on CBS, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, OR USATODAY websites! Only AOL news had it as a top story. Maybe AOL isnt as right wing as we thought!. Plus 57% gave Dennis a thumbs up in the poll!!

That's awesome, and I was wondering why I had so much traffic from AOL on this piece. I think that if the general population could have seen all of the articles of impeachment read-out, and the substantiation, there would have been a groundswell of public support for the resolution.
For anyone that mised it, you can see the reading of the Articles of Impeachment at this link. It was submitted by MAcDuff, one of the regulars at Justanothercoverup, and his finding this link is well appreciated!
PS: I've been working on this most of the night and since early this morning, so I'm taking a nap for a while... Please, everyone, make those calls! Power is in numbers, and we do have the people who desperately want Bush and Cheney impeached, but Congress will only know how adamant we are if we make the calls to tell them that we DEMAND that they uphold thieir oaths of office and impeach this criminal administration.

...just blew off Kucinich as a radical. "Ain't gonna happen," the staffer said when I asked him to tell the Representative to support the articles of impeachment.
Here's the number if someone else cares to argue with him:

Don't hit their sites or turn on their channels. Instead send emails, not to just sympathetic friends but any but the most rabid "antis" in your address book. David Swanson's article where he lays out the list in short format would make it easy. Then, particularize. Write messages which have meaning to those you address.
For example: Sympathizers. Possible sympathizers. Recyclers (those who annoy you with long stories of something you MUST send on, regardless of what the message is about). Get the drift? That's cheap and fast. Next level is to talk in person to those you know but have no idea how they feel. Ask them if they've heard anything about what happened in the House Representatives for 5 whole hours. Of course, particularize.
My thinking is that We the People are Just Folks.

The government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations has everything to lose if they don't appeal to popular concerns. Therefore, Congress and the media WILL cover impeachment, because they want to maintain their seats in office and keep their businesses flourishing.
I agree with William that putting pressure on will succeed in getting impeachment moving forward. Because they have one selfish reason: They want to stay in office.
Torture is on the public radar. Plame's name being leaked by Cheney is on the radar. (What's NOT on the radar----please help!----is this: Plame's life was endangered by the leak of her name).
Cheer up: I think (for once) there's lots of hope. And I am a skeptic: I think that has become obvious by now. It may not be time to blow the whistles of joy, but it also is time to rejoice in hope. There's lots of it.
If nothing else, Americans at large will "wake up" as hearings proceed, and will learn a very important lesson: If you snooze, you lose. (The Constitution, your freedom, your free speech, life, liberty, happiness, et al).
Thank you all for your help in promoting this terribly important cause. Life depends on it: Please post to blogs, contact journalists (I've already done that this morning), email chain letters asking receipients to pass it on, write letters to the editor, etc...college newsletter editors are more likely to print things and kids, in turn, will talk with their parents. Word will get out. Dynamo, let's go!

This will recieve ZERO main stream media coverage. We need to be our own media. Post this, blog, digg, promote it.
But this will not be enough. Congress will fail in their duty as always. It has been left to you & me to defend the Constitution. Strike to impeach. -General Strike 9/11/08

“I’ve grown older, a little bit jaded, a little bit bitter, but I have never, and I wont ever, let go of my belief in those weapons of truth and justice. They are formidable weapons, if, and this is the crucial caveat, if you learn how to weald them. And that takes practice and a lot of hard work. You have to master that record, you have to first learn that it even exists, and then you have to study it.
And then you have to show a little bit of backbone, a little bit of spine, a small part of courage.It’s not a six year old in Gaza, facing a tank with a stone. You are not going to suffer terribly in our society. You may have trouble here and there getting a job, but, you are going to healthy, you are going to be doing a lot better than ninety nine percent of humanity, however rigorous the trails you go through.
So if you learn how to master those weapons, those formidable weapons of truth and justice and I remain as confident now as I did when I was the age of most of you in this room. That however much power they have, and they have a lot of power, and however ruthless they are, and they are very ruthless, and however much money they have, and they have lots of money. Despite that, notwithstanding, nonetheless, I still remain utterly, completely, absolutely confident that if we learn how to master those weapons of truth and justice, we can yet win. Thank you.”

Reference to Kucinich and Impeachment on CNN Website
If you go to the CNN website and look under "Latest News", there is a reference to McClennan, etc. Click on it and read the article. Articles of impeachment are mentioned along with a nice swipe at Pelosi.

LOL, Not only would I Like to see our Dictator Bush Impeached, I would like to see him answer for his crimes against humanity. Ship him to Iraq and let the Iraqi people deal with him. Perhaps send him to the same place Saddam Hussein met his end!
MSNBC covered the reading of the Articles of Impeachment by the House Clerk as "Breaking News" on Dan Abrams show "Verdict," on the night of June 10 and the morning of June 11 with discussion of an agreement that had been reached that the Articles of Impeachment would be read by the Clerk in exchange for their referral to the judiciary committee.
