RESOLUTION TO IMPEACH BUSH AND INVESTIGATE CHENEY, ET AL.
WHEREAS, the Downing Street Memos show in multiple documents that President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and various others began planning and executing the illegal war against and occupation of Iraq months before seeking Congressional and UN approval; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of this planning, intelligence was shaped to fit these plans, illegal bombing runs were made against Iraq and various other questionable, potentially illegal operations and actions were taken with the express intent to provoke Saddam Hussein to take military action and decline to cooperate with the UN and other international entities, including but not limited to the IAEA and UN weapons inspectors, false statements to the American people made by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and others with the apparent intent to deceive Congress and the American public and to cause Congress and the American people to allow the Bush Adminstration to carry out its plan for an unnecessary war; and
WHEREAS, as a direct result of the above actions, without the approval of the UN or any significant international agreement, the U.S. and U.K. began a war of aggression against Iraq, killing thousands of American and Iraqi military forces, wounding tens of thousands more, and killing or wounding potentially hundreds of thousands of civilians, women, children and other innocents; and that the U.S. has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in this potentially illegal war, to the direct detriment of the national debt, all citizens of the U.S. and all government programs for which this money might otherwise have been appropriated, and to the benefit solely of the military contractors and supplier corporations who have been shown to be overcharging and otherwise cheating the people and the government of the U.S.;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Patrick Henry Democratic Club urges Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Patrick Henry Democratic Club asks that all fifty states and a federal grand jury immediately begin investigations into criminal actions by Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, John Bolton and any and all other members and former members of the administration in connection with the above noted past and present actions against and in Iraq.
Passed unanimously on June 28, 2005.
