YES!

I called and confirmed with his office.. that is what he is doing.

[libodem]

1. Good on ya

Dennis!

[Phred42]

69. self delete

[flvegan]

2. Yes! Kucinich is the man.

Thanks for confirming with his office.

[Warpy]

3. Looks like he's stealing Biden's thunder

Biden has sworn to get impeachment on the table the second one bomb falls on Iran.

[mikelgb]

4. Impeachment starts with Articles in the House, i encourage The Senator to publicly voice his support

[yellowdogintexas]

5. yes but HOUSE has to introduce. Senate tries and convicts. nt

[pnwmom]

136. Which means that that threat is no longer hanging over Bush's head.

We might regret this.

[JPettus]

148. Problem is, impeachment takes time

If Georgie attacks Iran after the election there is no time to impeach.

And impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one, so nothing in impeachment proceedings would send Daddy's little war criminal to the Big House.

[Pierre.Suave]

156. Why?

does he think there are not enough reasons already?

[uppityperson]

6. Listening. Very cool. Go DK!

[mikelgb]

7. nice he is citing the recently released Senate Intel reports

[enid602]

8. big

This is big, because it will really affect how Iraq is perceived as a campaing issue this fall.

[mikelgb]

9. LOL... while watching Dennis.. cspan say on CSPAN2: Presidential Departure

[jwirr]

10. We may not have time to finish the hearings but I think this is the way

to stop him from bombing Iran.

[John Q. Citizen]

11. Kucinich is America's Congressman. He's a hero!

[CountAllVotes]

12. DK must have read Bugliosi's book

Scotty McClellan's plan didn't work (distract the American people with his "tell all" book). Bugliosi's book is out there and he says that any lawyer out there should take this on.

Go Cong. Kucinich!!! (watching now ...) :wow:

:kick:

[pnorman]

40. I had just finished listening to the Audible.com version of that book!

I was still fired up, when I checked DU and saw this! Dennis had been my first choice, but I always knew that it was a fond hope. But I feel a lot better about Obama! HOPE is what I now feel --- at long last!

pnorman

[thecrow]

13. Go Dennis!!!

I guess now that they have Scotty on board....

Anyway, that doesn't matter right now.
GO DENNIS!!!
Woo Hoo!

15. Go Dennis! You are a real patriot!!!!!! K and R

[Frustratedlady]

16. Don't you think this has been orchestrated to coincide with the campaign?

I think they've been doing their work behind the scenes and are now hitting them from all different directions to keep them off balance.

Where's Rove this week?

Show your claws, Dems! We know you have them and it's time!

[BadgerKid]

26. Yep. Awaiting more ducks in a row... n/t

[rucognizant]

124. Of course!

I think the critics of the Congressional Dems, have been hasty.
I have been waiting for this moment! They were just waiting for the People to get on board. Obama's nomination was the catylist. And he gave a very strong speech in NC today. Finally answering change: how, what, when...........!
Scotty came on board and will testify on the 20th!
Halleluyah!

[JDPriestly]

166. And McCain has been trying so hard, especially hard this week,

to distance himself from Bush. Maybe the news leaked out.

[L. Coyote]

17. Impeachment Happening in Congress Right Now

Source: American Chronicle

David Swanson

Congressman Dennis Kucinich is on the floor of the House of Representatives right now introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Yes, 35. He'll be reading for a while.

[msongs]

18. nice to know at least ONE democrat is not afraid of bushco nt

[conspirator]

193. He must stay away from small planes though n/t

[Demeter]

19. He Should Have Pared It Down to 3 Worst

Otherwise Congress will choke and refuse to proceed.

[sofa king]

50. They'll refuse to proceed anyway.

Impeachment isn't really a practical path to take, now that America is already destroyed and the President is a laughing stock lame duck. There's no way that the President can be successfully impeached anyway with as many Republicans as there are in Congress, anyway.

What Kucinich is doing is putting on the record everything + world + dog.

It's going to be particularly useful five to thirty years down the road, should another Republican steal the White House. At that time, every person that Republican President nominates will likely be asked about his or her role in each of these 35 offenses.

And if they answer honestly--or, more likely in the case of Republicans, they lie and are caught by contradictory testimony from previous Senate hearings--the Senate will have cause to refuse the nomination. It's a way to permanently shut the door on Bush Republicans.

It's an attempt to cripple the Republican Party for decades. And wouldn't that be a fine addition to George W. Bush's all-so-important legacy.

[dave123williams]

83. It's Pelosi's threat of Impeaching that is keeping these dumbasses from attacking Iran.

[LWolf]

101. It's Pelosi's insisting on keeping impeachment "off the table"

that has allowed this administration to get away with what it has since '06.

She's an opponent of impeachment.

[LWolf]

105. Thank you again, Congressman Kucinich.

I still stand with you.

[vanboggie]

123. Bingo

I'm trying to figure out how to write Dennis to tell him how much I admire his courage and integrity with a cc to Pelosi. I want to mention what a tool she is and that she should be supporting Kooch's efforts.

[trickyguy]

96. Getting it on the record is damn important, as you say.

[postulater]

113. Great insight. Thanks

We can't let those guys hang around to cause any more damage. I remember the Nixon years and how some of those guys came back.

[Occulus]

146. I don't think 'cripple' is the right word.

Castrate, perhaps. :D

I hadn't even considered what you wrote in your post, but you make some very good points: the impeachment aren't really about impeaching, but getting it all on the record for future nominees to duck and dodge.

Can the President issue a pardon to persons mentioned in articles of impeachment?

[JPettus]

150. He's doing more than that

If the process can go on, they can also get the evidence of BushCo into the record and hopefully into the media, then track the votes of the Republicans who support Bush as we roll down to the finish line and really finish them off.

Yes, it's a campaign ploy. Yes, it will likely be seen as such. Worst case, perhaps it will keep Bushco from bombing Iran after the elections when he couldn't be impeached anyway since he would be out of office before the process concluded.

[uppityperson]

20. dupe. Woohoo!

Hope DK can fit a few hundred articles of impeachment against him and I would love absolutely LOVE to see these two hauled off to prison.

25. First thread I've EVER recommended

Thank you Congressman Kucinich! This is something we MUST do.

[mrs_p]

27. yippie - congress just might have a backbone

:woohoo:

[JPettus]

151. Just had a thought

What if this is also a ploy to get the left wing of the Democratic Party back behind a Democratic Congress that has done far too little to obstruct the Bushies since they came to power?

[disndat]

203. The nomination of Obama last week

caused this sea change!

[bertman]

28. Thank you, Mr. Kucinich.

I've written my Rep., David Price, twice asking him to vote for impeachment, and despite the fact that he's a solid librul he weaseled and wiggled out by saying:

ONE: it would be too divisive and distracting ( WTF ??!! )

TWO: besides, there's not enough time. (Sweet juhaysus, save me from this political cowardice)

More power to our stalwart Representative from Ohio. He's got his work cut out for him.

[Patchuli]

80. It must have been the party line message

"ONE: it would be too divisive and distracting )

TWO: besides, there's not enough time. "

Exactly what Mike Thompson out here in California had to say in response to my inquiries to him. He got snarky about it too at a Town Hall he did here when people kept bringing up the war crimes of *co. I saw DINO...

[JBear]

93. Form Letters

Bertman, I too have gotten that same form letter on at least 2 occasions.

I guess it is time to write again and wait.

:popcorn:

[dglow]

223. Cowardly Excuses

Call your congressidiot and tell him/her excuses are irrelevant. The issue is one of law. If laws were broken, then duty requires action as stipulated in the Constitution. It took a few months to complete the process when Nixon broke the law. The same was true in Clinton's case. The timing is perfect. Little time for the Repigs to stymie the action. Besides, the object is to seek the truth. Isn't it?

[elocs]

29. I've clicked the link...where is this, I can't find it??? n/t

[darkmaestro019]

95. took me a sec too

Click "video/audio" and then "cspan" is what I think I finally did : )

[Maryland Liberal]

30. Dennis is my hero

Courage is rare in Congress these days - but not for DK

[NRaleighLiberal]

31. His masterful intellect and his love of our country are shining through as he calmly read these...

watching the Cspan link on my laptop. If only.....

[The Wielding Truth]

32. One man stands alone against injustice!!! DK is the one!!

His name alone will be shown in history as the dissenting voice!Bless him. He should be our President.

[no name no slogan]

33. THANK YOU DENNIS!

You've been right all along-- it just took the rest of the country a while to catch up.

:toast:

[hippywife]

128. We'll never have to feel

regret or shame for working for him, will we? Only the greatest sense of pride in knowing he really is the one! :hi:

39. I can't believe this!!! BRAVO!!!!

What a job he's doing...it's live right now (8:41 PM)

[yellerpup]

41. McClellan is testifying under oath next week.

No way this is coincidental. Set it up now, prosecute when it's too late for a presidential pardon. :kick:

Kucinich rocks! :yourock:

[libnnc]

72. sweeeeeeeeeeeetness.

:kick:

[yellerpup]

112. ..

:hug: :woohoo:

[iamahaingttta]

42. I have a problem with this...

I don't think it's right to introduce articles of impeachment while the president is out of the country.

Just like I didn't think it was right for the president to criticize a presidential candidate while speaking in another country.

Other than that...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

48. There is a very subtle message...

To the European nations and by extension, the nations of the world, in the timing. Subtle but unmistakable.

[usaftmo]

59. I don't have a problem with it at all

The rethuglicans will stop at nothing to throw stones from their glass McMansions, especially when Bill Clinton was in office.

This won't go through; even if it goes to a vote...they will vote along party lines...which clears shrub.

I'm glad DK is telling it like it is...even when lots of others aren't.

:party:

[JPettus]

155. Let the Rethugs vote along party lines not to remove Bush

It will happen just before the election and their votes supporting the Bush Administration will be on the record within the short memory span of the electorate.

Call it a win-win

[proud2BlibKansan]

110. No this is perfect timing!!

He is going to have to be charged in international courts since he has most likely already pardoned himself.

[Old Codger]

147. no pardon

No pardon can alleviate impeachment....that is one thing the presidential pardon does not effect.

(quote)
He is going to have to be charged in international courts since he has most likely already pardoned himself.(quote)

[MannyGoldstein]

43. This Might Actually Fly

Most Democrats will resist - after all Bush is a perpetual Christmas in terms of giving us points to attack the Rethugs on come November. But the Rethugs are getting quite fed up with the rotting Albatross around their neck, and might want to be rid of it ASAP to give them *some* chance in November.

[Ammonium]

44. My man!

I <3 DK

[frog92969]

45. Perhaps this will be the time.

:patriot:

[LBJDemocrat]

46. It doesn't matter

The media is ignoring it and will ignore it. It might as well not be happening at all.

[goclark]

63. No he is brave to Speak Out

and for sure nothing would happen if he did nothing.

Go for it Dennis ~ speak Truth to Power.

[Uncle Joe]

218. Then the corporate media will pay a heavy price as their credibility

continues to erode with the American People.

The people are wising up them and the Internet will only benefit from the continued betrayal of their journalistic responsibilities to inform the American People, instead of dumbing them down with Pablum, Bullshit and non sense. If they can't do the news in a responsible manner anymore they need to get out of the business and let some one who can do it.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

47. He speaks the TRUTH!!!!!

and cites sources. GUILTY of IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!!!!

On Article 13 now. Will this later be on youtube?

[JustAnotherGen]

49. I'm loving this

Just a little too much . . .

[Algorem]

51. here in Kucinich's disrict a huge storm just went through about 15 minutes ago

it got dark as night,the wind got very strong like there might be a tornado and the electricity went out for about a minute,scared the hell out of me ,lot of sirens in the distance since then

[goclark]

64. We pray for everyone's safety

[Berry Cool]

75. It was pretty scary.

I'm right up by the lake (although in Tubbs Jones country). The storm came in so quickly. Huge lightning bolt, thunder crash and the power went out for a few seconds and the building fire alarm began to scream. It's off now, though. The storm has retreated.

[mac2]

137. We had that in IL. It went behind us across the highway and destroyed things

as we traveled north on I-57 to Chicago. No one was injured. But the power lines are all over the highway, cars over turned, and homes, buildings destroyed. The same area had hail the size of baseballs just recently.

The cold and hot fronts meeting is the Spring fling we get every year in this part of the MW.

I've read the impeachable offences on the Demcrats.com sight previosly. It was so painful to hear it all again.

I am surprised that Separation of Church and State is not another violation of the Constitution with Bush funding "select" educational and religious groups with public dollars. I can't understand anyone who lives in a democracy being OK with that.

Stay safe and don't ignore the warnings. I have a warning radio which I keep on during the day and night. It saved a relative and her mother in Florida a few years ago. There were no sirens.

[Algorem]

189. The Cleveland Plain Dealer put the Kucinich story off to the side on page A5,

1 paragraph,the third story down in "BRIEFS From wire reports" ;

they put a tree that got knocked down in Kucinich's district by the storm on the front page

WASHINGTON

Kucinich moves to impeach Bush

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich took to the House of Representatives floor Monday night to introduce a 35-count resolution to impeach President Bush. Kucinich said Bush "fraudulently" justified the war on Iraq and misled "the American people and members of Congress to believe Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction so as to manufacture a false case for war." Kucinich said in January he planned to launch an impeachment effort against Bush, but delayed his effort after meeting with members of the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Commitee hasn't acted on a bid Kucinich launched last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.

STORMY WEATHER

Molly Kavanaugh
Plain Dealer Reporter

Record-breaking heat seared Northeast Ohio on Monday, driving us to swimming holes and shade trees. Then high winds, rain and hail swept through, forcing us to hunker down as limbs and power lines fell.


...During the afternoon, the National Weather Service reported that a high of 93 in Cleveland broke a 94-year-old record of 92, which was set in 1914.

By evening, the agency reported golf-ball and penny-sized hail and winds topping 60 miles per hour.

Reports of fallen trees and downed lines flooded police and fire dispatch centers in Cleveland Heights, Lakewood and Parma. Mayfield Heights and South Euclid police dispatchers got calls for power outages in parts of their cities...

[Lucky 13]

52. Does he actually have any support behind him or is he going to be portraited as...

just a nut?

[DesertRat]

53. The MSM will probably ignore him

but it's important that he's doing it and it's entered into the Congressional record.

[Lucky 13]

57. Of course I agree completely.

I don't know. I feel like the hard part is building the case and actually introducing the articles of impeachment.

Now Democrats have to weigh in on this. And I for one will be watching very closely to who supports this and who doesn't.

[goclark]

66. Let them paint him how they will

He is brave enough to speak Truth to Power.

The others are spineless wonders.

[mac2]

138. Let's all call our representatives tomorrow (or send e-mail) and insist they

support his impeachment call to Congress. It is their duty.

[JerseygirlCT]

217. I saw nothing about it on the news last night or this morning...

no surprise there, I suppose.

[happygoluckytoyou]

54. enuf thunder to go around on this one...... GO BUSH GO BUSH and keep going

[Highway61]

55. Good Ole "unelectable" Dennis...

He may be the smallest in Washington but he has the biggest kahoonas (sp) of ANYONE in Washington. I am so proud of him.

[Dinger]

Wow, I LOVE him!!!!

God, please let it be, let it be!

[astonamous]

58. K & R for Mr. Kucinich...

I hope the timing is right with McClellan's upcoming testimony and the *ush being out of the country.

Come on MSM, you can't keep ignoring the obvious! These are criminals of the most horrible kind and we need to have a free press...now is a good time to show that you are for America and not against her!

Edit:

And let us not forget that this whole business of attacking Iran needs to be halted at all costs!

[LuckyLib]

60. Outstanding! Any public recognition of this war criminal is welcome.

[JFN1]

61. AP has a small story up, here's the link

[goclark]

67. Keep it coming

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. He is listing every crime

and reading it into the Congressional record.

Listing every single thing that folks have been investigating for years.
I hear a lot of Greg Palast stuff in there..

So what happens after this????

[TroglodyteScholar]

74. After this...

...the articles die quietly for lack of support from other members of Congress. But at least it's going on record.

[frog92969]

77. And so is their lack of support.

Everybody take note.

[TroglodyteScholar]

87. Maybe I'm too cynical...

Couldn't hurt for everyone to get in touch with their reps to request they join in on this.

[frog92969]

92. Mine's a repug

but I've mentioned it to him before.
May be time for another phone call.

[TroglodyteScholar]

144. Yea, mine is Jim Marshall...

...about the most conservative Dem in the House. I wrote to him back when Cheney was facing possible impeachment, and he just sent me a form letter basically saying "Thanks for your interest in this important topic, here's how I feel about it" and then going on to express opinions totally contrary to my own.

Oh well, can't hurt, tho. Supposedly they take their constituents' comments seriously.

[frog92969]

173. I've got a stack of those letters.

A reminder of how they don't hear a word your saying.

I told Gilchrest that the republican party should be outlawed, but I felt that he cared about his country and should co-sign HRes333 to open the door for others who might care about America.
No response.

[rucognizant]

177. Both of mine have!

[rucognizant]

178. E-mail CNN & MSNBC

Ask if they are going to cover it!
Forget about ABC, but DO BOYCOTT DISNEYWORLD/ LAND.
Americans are enabling them by supporting their entertainment! Boycott the whole damned mess, movies,.DVD's theme parks.
Bet that would straignten out this county real fast!

[laconicsax]

121. Same thing that always happens next

1. Legislation gets kicked back to committee where it rots. (see: HR 676, HR 333, HR 1234, etc.)
2. MSM ignores it, so it never existed.
3. These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along.

[Phred42]

65. Thanks Dennis! K&R -Man - He's REALLY GOING FOR IT!

:kick:

[lonestarnot]

68. Just started watching! Already at Article 17!

I hope somebody puts it up so I can see what I missed!

[backscatter712]

70. GO DENNIS!!!

This is why he was my number one choice for President.

Kucinich introduces Bush impeachment resolution
Posted by Sabrina Eaton June 09, 2008 19:35PM

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich took to the House of Representatives floor on Monday evening to introduce a 35-count resolution to impeach President George W. Bush.

Kucinich claimed Bush "fraudulently" justified the war on Iraq and misled "the American people and members of Congress to believe Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction so as to manufacture a false case for war."

"President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office," Kucinich said.

Kucinich said in January that he planned to launch an impeachment effort against Bush, but delayed his effort after meeting with members of the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Commitee hasn't acted on a bid Kucinich launched last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.

[dixiegrrrrl]

84. I would love to know why he is doing it NOW

and why Conyers had held up the bill
and
why Dennis agreed NOT to do it in Jan.

[Patsy Stone]

99. I don't know

and I don't think this will ever come to a vote, but bless him for doing it. Also, Conyers is still going to talk to come Code Pinkers: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3414315

Lighting a candle, just because.

[rucognizant]

181. The urgency of now!

We the PEOPLE are responding, in a way they know, their backs will be covered!
We just nominated the first AA candidate to run for Pres....................
AND he is getting tough, now that he is the nominee.....................( the Liarman confrontation,
concrete plans for change rather than vague...............
McClellen sang.......
Richard CLarke is rammping up..............
Bugliosi's book is out...............
the web news spreads & grows............
McVain is looking like a real fool.....................
The need to STOP CHENEY?BUSH before they destroy us all.............
The price of gas has people's attention: Now inform them of why!...................
Kucinich's need to do this ,in case he is NOT returned as a congressman.............
The time is now ripe!

[dixiegrrrrl]

86. I would love to know why he is doing it NOW

and why Conyers had held up the bill
and
why Dennis agreed NOT to do it in Jan.

[mac2]

139. Bush is getting ready to attack Iran, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

He already attacked Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan.

[knixphan]

76. Rise up, my brother!

Speak the truth aloud.

Love this guy!!!

LOVE THIS GUY!!!!

[dreyer]

79. Wow, great news

I hope he includes one of the first crimes against our country. Instigating two stolen elections, evidence is all over the place. By knowingly allowing his installed crooks to impede legal voting rules the monkey led these crimes to fruition and should be impeached and prosecuted. And of course the other 37 or 38 crimes are as horrific.

[Cleita]

81. Got it on. Thanks for the heads up.

Any bets on the MSM not reporting this?

[ozone_man]

82. No apologies this time.

Just do it.

[bonito]

85. K&R n/t

[Jefferson23]

88. K/R this baby.,,FOR THE RECORD GEORGE W BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL

I love you Kucinich, you are man of true integrity!!!!!

Getting on the record is all we may get, but it is there!

[micraphone]

89. DK for VP!

I STILL say DK is easily the most principled rep in da house.

[mdmc]

91. God Bless You Dennis Kucinich!

Hinchey! Hall! Stand UP!!

[tomg]

179. I am writing to Mo today. Aside from

Hinchey's reluctance in this area ( which I just can't figure out), he is one of the best.

[mdmc]

187. yes!

I don't dig on his war spending, but I know he is just playing by the book

[FirstLight]

94. Hey, can this case be used after the fact?

Since he is reading it into the record,
Can Barack and his AG use the record to prosecute *
- after he is out of office?

Though I would love to see them "perp" walked out of the WH !!!


# 25 this is scary, are you hearing the "database building" with our emails and calls?
yikes

can we haz impeechmnt?

[xiamiam]

97. 2 hours of offenses so far...this is a beautiful thing..kucinich has the heart of a lion..

i love how he keeps saying ...and cheney too...this may not go anywhere..but its on the record..researched and backed up...on the record..i love kucinich..

[trickyguy]

98. Proud of you Dennis. Keep up the much needed good work.

Amazing;).. Really amazing, finally one who dear to go the way everyone else hoped for all this year... I don't know mr Kucinich very well, But to do this... That is bravery on a scale we have not seen in the US for a long time now.. I just wish that american had more member of the Senate and Congress who was that brave... Now then the "emperor" are out of the country, many who don't dear to stick their head up to much se their time coming.. Maybe a little palace revolution are on their way, even in the Byzantine Court of mr Bush..

Sorry my bad english, not my native language

dam, its 04:48 outside, and its is daylight... Ah wonderfully summer:)

118. My first choice for President still is the best of our Party.

What a brave man!

[mtf80123]

127. Mine too.

[cyclezealot]

168. Yes.,

Ever since the press ignored him and he had to back out, our enthusism has dwindled way off. When he speaks of change, he does not leave us wondering what change means.

[FirstLight]

119. Does anyone know wht reading into the record does...?

Is this now use-able to prosecute *ush after he is out of office?
Who knows about the legal ramifications of all this...


AND - he is even bringing up the voting violations! yes! Will all of this be now open for discussion throughout the campaign? How can they try to steal an election when this has been named out loud...
Or are we totally screwed, and will Chimpy declare some type of emergency before we even get there?

[mac2]

141. Future generations will know about this tyrannical leader.

[cyclezealot]

169. I think a priviliged motion

means the committee must consider his motion with an up and down vote. Not table without an up and down vote.

[Dark]

120. Oh fer chrissakes.

It ain't going to happen, and it'll just make us lose support. Bush is despised, and has seven months left. It takes Congress three weeks to form a committee to decide on what they're going to have for breakfast. Nothing would happen in time to get him out of there.

Instead, it'll look like revenge on the Dem's part, and just make us look like the "wacko left" the Repubs are always painting us as.

Just let it go, win the election, and let's get to work on rebuilding this country first. We don't need more division.

[hippywife]

129. No!

It gets every charge on the official congressional record. This is the nail in the coffin in which the Bush legacy will be buried.

It would be nice if it could happen, but it doesn't have to. Bush will be leaving office with more than an asterisks next to his name!

It makes all the other Dems look like the weak, lame place holders in office that they really are. No one, I mean no one compares to Dennis!

:woohoo:

[cyclezealot]

171. Thanks.

What is , is. These are impeachable offenses. Whether acted on or not, they are a part of the record. As impeachable offenses need be. Its called justice. Over 4000 dead Americans and we just want to sweep it under the carpet. Glad someone has backbone.

[knixphan]

219. Agreed!

[Psyop Samurai]

131. "I'm sorry, the memes you have dialed have been disconnected...

...please check the number and dial again."

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

135. This is far more important than politics

This is more important than any election. It has to do with justice and what we're willing to let criminals in our government get away with. Long after candidates and elections are forgotten, the crimes of this administration will be a thorn in the side of our Republic and set a terrible precedent for generations if they go unrecognized and unpunished. We cannot let this pass. Fuck politics. This towers in importance over any campaign or election. Division is not the issue. The issue is justice, something on which I will never be ready to compromise no matter the cost.

[Doctor_J]

I am afraid of this also

for all of the reasons you mention.

[Peace Patriot]

208. "Let's get to work on rebuilding this country first." Rebuilding a country of laws, or not?

That is the issue. Rebuilding WHAT?

A country that tortures prisoners?

A country that slaughters 1.2 million innocent people to get their oil?

A country that "occupies" other countries?

A country for Exxon Mobil to fleece?

A country where "justice" is only for Republicans?

A country where the president is an emperor?

A country without habeas corpus?

A country with a shredded Constitution?

A country where it's not who votes that counts, but who "counts" the votes?

A country of laws, or not?

Our Democratic Party leaders have been "go along, get along" with this criminal, war profiteering mafia for too long! Look at the result! Congress has a worse approval rating than Bush!

"We don't need more division." Yeah, the Constitution is "divisive." It separates those who believe in the "rule of law" from those who believe in the "rule of men." And that question was settled in 1776. Tyranny lost...until now. Can the lawful tools of preventing tyranny that our Founders tried their best to build into the Constitution be made to work against an entrenched tyranny? That is the question that Kucinich is posing. It is not enough to teeter back and forth between lawful and unlawful government, depending on who is counting the votes, and how. It is not enough to defeat fascism at the polls, if we can. Fascism must be OUTLAWED...again, as it was in 1776! Tyrants, criminals, mass murderers, shredders of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights must be exposed, removed from office and punished.

That is the PRINCIPLE that Kucinich is speaking for. And if the PRINCIPLE goes unspoken, and the crimes go unnamed within our government, and if there are no consequences to tyranny except losing an election, it WILL happen again...and next time it will be worse.

That is WHY the American Revolution OCCURRED. If you don't establish laws against tyranny--as the fundamental law of the land--and if you don't enforce that law, it WILL happen again. And those Founders were thinking SPECIFICALLY of presidential war! Imperial war. Wars for profit. An out of control executive waging war, and its INEVITABLE corollaries--robbing the public coffers and curtailing the public's rights. That is exactly what they designed impeachment FOR.

Whether or not impeachment can be accomplished--in the cauldron of corruption that we call our government--if the PRINCIPLES of lawful rule are not spoken, and not asserted, they will be forgotten and will be all that much harder to restore. So if Kucinich accomplishes nothing else, he has placed these crimes against our Constitution in the official memory of our government.

I am the first to urge people to think STRATEGICALLY. We ARE in a hell of a mess, and it is not going to be easily or quickly straightened out. My first thought has been the voting machines! My God, do you know that these machines--fast-tracked all over the country during the 2002 to 2004 period--are run on 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by RIGHTWING BUSHITE CORPORATIONS, with virtually no audit/recount controls?! You wonder why we vote--and nothing happens? You wonder why we vote to end the war--an overwhelming mandate from the American people in 2006--and the war just goes on and on? It's staring us in the face! 'TRADE SECRET' vote counting!

But there are a lot of fronts (not just the voting machines) on which we need to think STRATEGICALLY--practically, in terms of power and resources. And that is okay--more than okay--that is smart. You do what you can, in difficult circumstances. You do what your spirit and your resources permit you to do. And that is what Kucinich is doing. He is doing what he can, in difficult circumstances, with the spirit and resources that he has. He is helping us take the first step back toward lawful government--speaking the truth about what has occurred. He may be outnumbered. He surely will be marginalized and ignored by our corrupt press. He makes our corrupt Democratic Party leadership squirm, because of their complicity in these crimes. But he is right. We cannot "rebuild this country" on a slime-filled, blood-filled river of forgetfulness.

[unkachuck]

122. thank you very much, Dennis....

....for having the courage and stamina to do the right thing....we will never be taken seriously again as a nation if someone doesn't begin the process of bringing these war criminals to justice....

....they need to be arrested, tried, jailed and/or executed for the thousands upon thousands of deaths and crimes they and their minions have purpetrated....

What troubles me the most right now, is how many of the other most prominent progressive blog sites, i.e, Kos, Huffingto, TPM, etc. aren't reporting on this. In essence, not treating it with the validity and respect it deserves...A historic political event, at the least.

That tells you a lot about the mainstream progressive movement.

This is some of the most important stuff one could report on. Ignored by a majority of the forces supposedly on the side of the American people.

This is history occurring of the highest order. Ignored by our so-called leading progressive online news sources.

http://www.salem-news.com/articles/june092008/kucinich_6-9-08.php">Kucinich Reads Impeachment Articles Against Bush on House Floor, Jun-09-2008 19:29



Dennis J. Kucinich

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - For a good part of this evening, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio 10th District) has been live on C-Span reading Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush.

The former presidential contender is hoping the House will approve a resolution to impeach President Bush, in spite of the fact that the idea has received little support from Democrats. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier stated that the impeachment of George W. Bush was "off the table."

The AP reports that Kucinich delivered his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. His contention is that President Bush set out to deceive the nation and the American people, and consequently violated his oath of office when he set the stage for the Iraq war.

.....

The Baltimore Sun reported that an advocate for the process, Bob Fertik, president of Democrats.com, congratulated Kucinich on his "historic leadership."

He was quoted saying, "We've waited seven years to find one Member of Congress brave enough to stand up for our Constitution, for which generations of Americans have fought and died," Fertik added that "We are thrilled and honored that Dennis Kucinich has chosen to be that one genuine patriot."

All told, Dennis Kucinich presented 35 different articles to the House of Representatives. Kucinich reportedly turned to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and said, "The House is not in order." Pelosi is said to have pounded her gavel at that point. Kucinich was able to read the articles after that initial exchange.

[Raster]

160. "The House is NOT in order."

Go Dennis, Go!:kick:Wake up America!

[lligrd]

140. Dennis Is Amazing

He's got to be the hardest working person in Congress. He did an excellent job. His fortitude is simply amazing. Shame on all of those who refused to even listen.

[MNBrewer]

143. Hello, Mrs. Pelosi!!

Here's your chance to get impeachment ON the table.

[goclark]

149. Hello ~ Nan cee? Is any body home?

Nancy where is that table ~ :bounce:

[cushla_machree]

153. "The House is not in order."

Way to go Dennis, at least someone can sleep at night.

I am sure it will get shot down, but i am glad someone had the courage to stand up. At least one democrat is not spineless and afraid of what the big bad republicans will do to them!

The republicans wanted to impeach clinton over a blow job, and people hear whine about impeaching george bush as if it is some crazy idea, he took an oath of office, and all the evidence circulating out there shows he is a liar. At least someone will call him on it, cause we all know the press won't.

[benapgar]

154. Article 36

...this is what I would write for Article 36...

The President, both personally and acting through his agents and subordinates, has under color of law deprived aliens detained at Guantanamo Bay, a government property of which the United States is the sovereign governor, of their right to habeaus corpus and additional rights with the passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

Depriving aliens of their rights, and subjecting aliens to different pains and punishments, is an unconstitutional violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Further, it is a criminal violation of United States Code Title 18 Section 242, Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, which, in situations reported to be found at Guantanamo Bay, is a capital crime.

Wherefor President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense and shall be removed from office.

Thanks Dennis.

159. Huffington Post:Dennis Kucinich Makes History Again - Impeach Bush!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joseph-a-palermo/dennis-kucinich-makes-his_b_106193.html

Representative Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, just finished reading on the House floor a 35-count impeachment resolution against President George W. Bush. Kucinich's lengthy and detailed indictment of this wayward president is the most thorough and powerful case made to date. He outlined a litany of high crimes and misdemeanors and showed without a shadow of a doubt that George W. Bush deserves to be impeached and removed from office. Kucinich made clear that Bush has violated his oath of office and his Constitutional duty that the laws be "faithfully executed."

..........

[inseparable]

161. Kucinich should be careful not to be too radical. He might hurt Obama

Even Obama rejects such impractical calls for impeachment. Kucinich needs to calm down.

[Norrin Radd]

163. Thank you for your CONCERN, and welcome to DU.

Obviously separable from a sense of justice and courage.

[Mithreal]

165. If the majority of citizens support impeachment, are they too radical as well?

There is nearly zero chance Kucinich is going to hurt Obama. Corporate media has marginalized him, as well as Democratic "leadership". Kucinich seems entirely calm to me. History will judge him very well. Impeachment is not about right versus middle, but about right versus wrong. You say "Even Obama" which is an appeal to authority and that is not how we Democrats usually do things, more like the way Republicans frame arguments. Authority resides in knowledge, not men. If any leader is wrong, appeals to his or her authority are insufficient reasons to go along. BTW, welcome.

[Divine Discontent]

174. nothing worse than people making new user names

just to sound off about DK sounding "too radical"...


what the HELL is radical about demanding justice for the American people who's blood has been splattered all over the sand in Iraq these past 6 years for no damn reason, what about the the American people who's heart were silenced when their lungs filled up with water during the immediate days after Katrina, what about the million plus world citizens who have been murdered as a direct association of our invading their country, and what about the... oh fuck it, you're right - Dennis needs to calm down. :eyes:

Shame our other "leaders" are so slow to stand alongside him.

Every congressional district deserves a Kucinich.

[cyclezealot]

172. I consider him my congress person

For the greater American audience. Particularily when your thug of a Congressman is Daryl Issa. Our contributions go to Kucinich, he is one of the few worth our hard earned cash. Hope that make him our congress person.

what good is impeachment now?
this is like a doctor telling a chainsmoker he's got 6 months to live and they guy says, "if I quit by Christmas, then how much time would I have?"
Nancy Pelosi told everyone 6 months ago, "Impeachment is not on the table".
Kucinich should be doing more constructive things with his time.

we need to give our Reps and Senators a big push to implement Impeachment proceedings. Thank goodness for Dennis K. to bring the truth of this filthy administration forward.

191. Kucinich just made Nancy Pelosi's head explode!!!!

[penndragon69]

192. Nothing will happen..

It's too bad that DLC / libercrates are running the party. Pelosi and Reid won't do shit about this Mad Man.

Our HERO DK has at least entered all the crimes and deceptions of bush / chenny into the congresional record.
They will never be able to escape the truth of what they have done and history will
remember them as the most corrupt and incompetent NEVER ELECTED squatters.

But on the bright side...come Jan 20th these private citizens can be arrested for their crimes and
extradited to stand trial for war crimes at the HAGUE!

Go Dennis!!

even more Articles of Impeachment added to that list.

We need to get this man out. He is beating the drum again.

220. To Congressman Kucinich.

:patriot:

And thank you for posting this list, seafan, this could be it's own thread..:thumbsup:

[RedLetterRev]

200. Godspeed, Mr Kucinich

I stayed up way past my beddybye just to hear each and every count read into the record and to savor the fact that (in the very least) the criminal activity is now public record. I believe it is right: either we stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law or we will surely lose both. I'm writing my DINO Congresscritter now asking him to support Messrs Kucinich and Wexler. Up until now I've gotten only lame excuses from him ("I see nothing that rises to the level of impeachment").

:wtf:

Mr Miller, respectfully, you ain't lookin' very hard. This time, I'm not asking nicely. I'm demanding. Nicely, but demanding. I have written way too many times and have received exactly the same, tired ("I don't really want to work that hard") answer.

My thought toward the timid congresscritters: Either you're ignoring the obvious or you're in on it. Which is it? (We know the repugs are in on it; the Dems aren't allowed excuses AFAIC.)

Mr Kucinich has risen like a mensch and a man to stop the crime and corruption. How many in the House of Reprehensibles will follow his lead and "protect, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic"? I'd say I'm not holding my breath, but I find myself holding it in anticipation anyway. Hope can lead to action.

Write, call, blog, and email. Lather, rinse, repeat until DC is clean and shiny.

It's The Matrix News vs. The Real World Network now. The Twilight Zone could not have written fiction better than this!!

[Baby Snooks]

204. And the media follows the lead of the Empress and ignores it all..

Nothing in the major newspapers that I can find - the media apparently sits at the same table as Nancy Pelosi and finds the fiddling of the Emperor enchanting at this point. Or just old news. Which, sadly, it is. It is too late to impeach. No one cares. All anyone cares about now is who will win in November. We cannot be distracted by something so silly as impeachment. The elections are too important. What the Empress will probably say. If she says anything at all.

The democracy died at some point in all of this. Long before Rome started burning.

I also called my congressman, Robert Brady (PA) to ask him to sign on to the articles of impeachment. The nice women on the phone told me that he already did!!:patriot:

207. Yeah for DK. A true patriot.

209. Go Dennis!!

I proudly voted for him in the primary, knowing that he would be the best person for the job IMO. It is my dream that the whole Democratic Party is controlled by Democrats like him. Never give up on what these criminals in office deserve. An Iran strike is still possible. I don't care if Obama stands with him, just so he doesn't speak out against Dennis.

211. Once again we are reminded of how honest men act

A true patriot. kr

[RedLetterRev]

212. Huh

After I wrote my congresscritter, I called Mr Kucinich's office to register thanks and support. The staffer who answered the phone said immediately "Impeachment is currently off the table, but I can connect you to the Comment Line". (Seemed as if he'd done that a lot this morning.)

I thought it was a very clever procedural move on Mr Kucinich's part; rather than introducing the articles directly (which might not be fully read into the record), he introduced a question which did allow him to read the entirety into the record. Whether or not actual impeachment goes forward (please, Good One, give us some relief!), the entirety of the Articles are in the record for all posterity, every article enumerated and read. By introducing a question rather than the resolution itself, he also didn't exaaaaactly defy the "impeachment is off the table" edict. Well done! I admire his brains as much as his nerve. Regardless of the outcome, we have spoken and it is a matter of record.

213. I wonder if there's a message here.....

by his quoting Pelosi's "impeachment is currently off the table." Message -- call Pelosi's office?

216. It did take me aback for a second

or three. The more I think about it, his procedural maneuver may have been the very best way available to get the entire enumeration into the Congressional Record. Whether or not impeachment goes forward, the fact that there is an official enumeration and it's a matter of easily-accessible public information, it nicely hangs a stinking albatross on the neocons necks and the necks of their merry band of rubber stampers. "Guilt by association" is a big stinkeroo in politics and there's plenty of spatter to cover, oh, 99.98% of the repugs in Congress. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeldt and all couldn't have achieved what they have without help -- a lot of complicity in the repug party. (Only criminals support and cheer on criminals, right? That idea makes righties' heads implode.)

Having the entirety of the allegations in the official and public record of Congress puts Boo$hCo in a firmly defensive posture and in such a manner in which they can't respond in kind. Rather elegant of Mr Kucinich, I think.
