Kucinich takes steps to impeach Cheney

[Pierre]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney Tuesday, basing his decision on Cheney's initial push to send the United States into war with Iraq.

"The vice president is beating the same drums of war against Iran that he beat against Iraq under false pretenses, and he's doing it all over again, against Iran," Kucinich said. "And I say that it's time to stand up to that. Our country couldn't afford this last war. We can't afford to go into another one. And somebody has to challenge the conduct of this Vice President."

Kucinich introduced three articles of impeachment before giving a press conference on Capitol Hill. He said Cheney fabricated the threat of weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war with Iraq, made up a connection between the Iraqi government and Al Qaeda and that he is threatening war against Iran, which he said violates the Constitution.

The Democratic presidential candidate said he decided to go after the vice president first for practical reasons. He said if Congress impeaches the president, then Cheney would take his place. He said he didn't think the country could handle two consecutive impeachments.

Currently, no other House members have signed on as cosponsors of his action. Kucinich denied that this is a political stunt and said he thinks Congress needs to stand up to the administration.

This morning I got this:

TELL CONGRESS WHETHER TO IMPEACH VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY OR NOT

On April 24, 2007, U.S. House Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced H.Res. 333, calling for
articles of impeachment to be sent to the U.S Senate with regards to Vice President Richard B.
Cheney.

We have created a VOTING action page on this. We want maximum participation so we can reflect the
true sense of the American people. Please vote whether you support impeachment or not.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php

The grounds of the proposed impeachment are that the Vice President:

1. fabricated a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction,
2. purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the
United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, and
3. has threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United
States, all in detriment to the national interest of the United States.

If you are an established commentator on the internet or elsewhere, and you have arguments to submit
on either side of the issue, please email back with links and we will put them also on the action
page.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this
message to everyone else you know.

True. They pretty much crushed or ignored our so-called "freedom of speech."
