ANNOUNCING THE NEW BROOM COALITION FOR A CLEAN SWEEP OF CONGRESS SEEKING CANDIDATES We are a group of challengers for Congressional seats currently held by people who won't support impeachment. http://sances.info/newbroom We are Democrats, Greens, independents, from around the country, who believe that most of the current Congress is craven and corrupt, complicit with the crimes of the Bush administration.We are seeking like-minded candidates. Our goal is to have challengers in every Congressional district, both in the primaries and in the general election; thus we can have up to two challengers per district. We believe that by next November, we can put enough of our candidates into Congress to change the direction of this country, no matter who is elected president. To join, a candidate must subscribe to our mission statement- see below. If you are a candidate, or know a suitable candidate, please contact us through our website http://sances.info/newbroom
MISSION STATEMENT 1) We believe Bush and Cheney have committed many impeachable offenses. If elected, we will work to impeach them in the first two opening weeks of the 111th Congress, and will continue the process after they leave office. We will get rid of precedents they have set, and make them subject to criminal proceedings, which will strip them of the perks and protections that ex- executives usually receive. We will restore the rule of law, and bring lawbreakers to justice. 2) We will seek to restore the Constitution, especially the balance of powers among the branches, and the Bill of Rights. 3) We will work to restore paper ballots and ensure the integrity of the election process. 4) We will work for withdrawal from occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, stop threatening Iran, and seek a negotiated peace with these countries, on a fair basis. We will work actively for world peace, and put an end to endless war. 5) We will make it priority to address global concerns such as global warming, and to work with other nations on the basis of leadership, not military might. We will put planetary survival and restoration of ecological balance above private profit. 6) We will seek to control nuclear weapons by restoring the nuclear NonProliferation Treaty, pressuring Israel, India and Pakistan to join it, and start the process of disarmament of nuclear nations mandated by Article VI.
