For OpEdNews: Linda Milazzo - Writer President Barack Obama of the Capitol of Washington, it is my most sincere honor to introduce you to Citizen Bob Alexander of the State of Washington, who by the standards you have set to 'give our all' has valiantly answered your call. In fact, Citizen Bob answered that call long before you were President. He seized his responsibilities gladly, not grudgingly, just as you asked at your inauguration. And now President Obama, Citizen Bob and millions more, would like you to hear THEIR call.
Before I tell you more about Citizen Bob, allow me to remind you of a few of the inspirational words you delivered at your inauguration. Here they are in a 31 second clip:
"What's required of us now is a new era of responsibility; a recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world. Duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there's nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship."
Last July, I read Vince Bugliosi's "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder." After years of thinking that Bush, Cheney, and Rice would walk away from their crimes, here at last was hope that something could be done to help right their horrible wrongs. Bugliosi clearly establishes the case that after Bush leaves office any District Attorney can prosecute Bush for murder if a member of the military from his or her own county had been killed in Iraq.
After reading Mr. Bugliosi's book, I changed my SuperBeans [online coffee company] home page to read:
"In lieu of buying coffee this month, please consider picking up a copy of Vincent Bugliosi's new book instead. When you're finished reading the book, mail your copy to your State Attorney, or to your county District Attorney. Or better yet, deliver the book in person."
My wife Arminda and I met Mr. Bugliosi when he came to Seattle to promote his book. We became more committed than ever to get "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" in front of as many eyes as possible. A friend of ours, Jude Morford of the organization womanstanding, called and asked if I would go with her to deliver a copy to our District Attorney. Then I had an idea. Let's send this book, written by America's preeminent prosecutor to every District Attorney in the country. Clearly another attorney would grasp the case Bugliosi laid out and hopefully take action. So we set up prosecutegeorgebush.com to bring George Bush to justice.
"Vincent Bugliosi has written a very serious book on a very serious subject. For the first time, the need to use state murder statutes to punish presidential murder has now arisen, lest Bush and company get away with serious crimes. Bugliosi understands this."
"Vincent Bugliosi is a consummate prosecutor who has now put together yet another compelling case. His is a cry for justice on behalf of the thousands upon thousands of people who have suffered irreparable harm -- and the many of who have died -- as a result of the criminal conduct of the President of the United States. This passionate and powerful brief should not be ignored."As shared with me by Constitutional lawyer, author and former president of the ACLU OF Southern California, Stephen Rohde in that same previous article:
"At a time when the Democratic leadership has utterly failed to pursue the remedy of impeachment provided by the founders in the Constitution, Bugliosi's innovative challenge to indict Bush for murder should be pursued by attorneys general in every state where men and women have died due to Bush's criminal acts. This Nation cannot allow Bush to leave office and live out his days being paid huge fees to give speeches and serve on corporate boards instead of being tried for the deaths and injuries he has caused. Whether he is forced to stand trial for murder or for war crimes and crimes against humanity, George W. Bush must be held accountable."
