POPSBaldwin makes a call for impeachment hearings
We have seen this administration fabricate the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and allege, despite all evidence to the contrary, a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida. These lies dragged our country into a preemptive and unjustified war that has taken the lives of more than 4,000 U.S. troops, injured 30,000 more, and will cost our nation more than a trillion dollars. We watched as this administration again undermined national security by manipulating and exaggerating evidence of Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities and openly threatened aggression against Iran, despite no evidence that Iran has the intention or capability of attacking the U.S. We have looked on in horror as the administration suspended habeas corpus by claiming the power to declare any person an "enemy combatant," ignoring the Geneva Convention protections that the U.S. helped create. We have seen torture and rendition of prisoners in violation of international law and stated American policy and

POPSKucinich pursues impeachment This separation of powers was expressly intended to prevent a President from unilaterally summoning troops to war in the manner of a king. Are we willing to respect our institution, our Constitution and ourselves? Will this President, at last, be held accountable for lying to Congress to gain authorization for the use of force against Iraq? Will we allow future Presidents to take office knowing they can commit the same acts with impunity? Tomorrow I will bring forth a single article of impeachment which reviews the factual misrepresentations the President made to Congress to induce a favorable vote for the authorization for war. The only question that remains is - - will we do anything about it?"

POPSSomeone is listening - Impeach 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 said. "We are thrilled and honored that Dennis Kucinich has chosen to be that one genuine patriot." Just a little political clip which i could not resist since Dennis's name jumped out at me. Now I'm back to my vacation from political and stressful clips.

POPSSheehan gets standing ovation Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said that Pelosi, too, is frustrated with the ongoing war in Iraq but believes that impeachment would be divisive and distract Congress from improving the lives of working families. Does this mean that we have a Congress unable to multi-task? If the government can't impeach & arrest it's criminals, what use are they?

POPSNJ protesters greet Bush Some protesters like Patricia Kuc, of Wrightstown, want Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney impeached for starting the war in Iraq, among other reasons. When asked if she thought that would ever happen, she said, "No, unfortunately not, because the Republicans and the Democrats all play to the same tune." Kuc said she would like Bush and Cheney impeached for "tearing up our Constitution, creating an illegal war of aggression against people who didn't do anything to us and abandoning all of our civil rights." "We're going to be living in a fascist country very soon," she said. "The powers that has instilled in himself will go on to the next president and we will be in big trouble."

POPSDemocratic Party turns on Kucinich He threw Pelosi out of his office. I love to see that. It breaks my heart to know there is one honest politician out there who would make the necessary changes, and the rich elitists doing all they can to get him out of Congress.

POPSPelosi will not meet with Nirenberg An early experience should have been a portent of things to come: Visiting the National Archives building, which houses the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, he and a group of like-minded supporters were blocked from entering by security guards, who demanded they remove articles of clothing - hats, T-shirts, ponchos - carrying impeachment messages. While trying to arrange a meeting with Pelosi, whose office repeatedly said she was unavailable, Nirenberg held a press conference, gave interviews, and visited other Congressional offices to bend the ears of lawmakers (or at least their staffers) about their positions on impeachment. He got up to a speed of visiting 15 offices per hour. In most every case, Congress members were not available. Nirenberg delivered his talking points, and perhaps the names of constituents who wanted their views passed on; staff members noted his interest, and that was that. At the office of Rep. Wally Herger, R-Calif., he asked the young staffers,

POPSImpeachment is rightful course - G. McGovern McGovern says that American democracy has been "derailed" by the administration's commitment to "a murderous, illegal, nonsensical war against Iraq … done without the declaration of war from Congress that the Constitution clearly requires, in defiance of the U.N. Charter and in violation of international law. This reckless disregard for life and property, as well as constitutional law, has been accompanied by the abuse of prisoners, including systematic torture, in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949." Impeach! Can we impeach Pelosi also? She is an accessory after the fact, maybe even more.

POPSTurning on line popularity into votes Kucinich is my choice. But people need to vote in the primaries. I am ashamed to say I cannot even remember whether I'm registered as Independent or Democrat. But bet on this -- I will find out and I will vote.

POPSImpeachment goes to Juciciary I received this by Email today and I am sharing it with fellow clippers. It is an opportunity to do something, if you are in agreement.

POPSRepublican vote to Impeach Cheney It seems to me that the only thing humorous here is the blurb about Cheney ordering the Air Force to napalm the Capital. I made similar comments on a piece I clipped earlier. Does that make me a writer of satire?

POPSKuchinich to House of Representatives: Impeach In a written statement, Hoyer reiterated that Democratic leaders have decided not to proceed with impeachment and criticized Republican leaders for attempting to force a debate on the resolution. "I am surprised that Republicans would treat an issue as important as the potential impeachment of a vice president of the United States as a petty political game," he said. "It is beneath the dignity of this institution." I am trying to understand why the Republicans would want a debate, then I recalled voting earlier today -- Republicans were not referring to themselves as such in local campaign literature -- they referred to themselves as "party for the people" or "The people's Party". Now if they are reading all the statistics, they realize that more than half of the citizens are pro-impeachment. The idiot democrats are ignoring the wishes of the people in effect giving us all the finger.

POPSImpeachment not just a bumper sticker in Oregon "From a political point of view, it's foolhardy," Kantor says. The move would scare off moderate Democrats and quickly energize the Republican base, he says. "If there was a serious run at impeaching President Bush, it would dramatically increase the chances" of a Republican presidential victory next year. Yet, the issue won't go away inside Democratic circles. Instead, it remains a constant, low-level presence on Capitol Hill, a continual hum in the background like the noise of some far-off interstate. In Oregon, it seems to grow louder by the week. John Frohnmayer, Independent Party candidate for U.S. Senate, kicked off his campaign by saying Bush "should be impeached." That prompted the two main Democratic contenders, Portland lawyer Steve Novick and Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley to chime in with calls for Congress to investigate and hold hearings on the president's actions. This makes it obvious that all the Dems care about is not having republicans i
