Articles of Impeachment to be read in the House today! 5 pm EDT!
This afternoon, at approximately 5 p.m. (EDT), the Clerk of the House of Representatives will give the first reading of the Article of Impeachment of President George Bush. Article One charges the President with deceiving Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq WMDs to fraudulently obtain support for an authorization of the use of military force against Iraq.

Once the Clerk reads the bill, I will move to refer the bill to the Judiciary Committee for hearings. I believe the American people have a right to an open airing of the charges against this President. Did he or did he not lie to take us into a war? I believe the evidence is overwhelming that President Bush knew that Iraq was not an imminent threat, was not in possession of WMDs at the time, and had nothing to do with 911 or with al Queda's role in 911. And yet, despite having facts to the contrary, he took the U.S. into war with devastating consequences for our troops, our nation, and the people of Iraq. Congress must hold hearings.

There can be no greater offense of a President or a Commander in Chief than to conjure a war based on lies to Congress, to the troops, and to the people of America.

I love our country with all my heart and I intend to persist until America is America again.

Please contact your friends and neighbors and ask them to go to our website at www.Kucinich.us and sign the impeachment petition. Thank you for your continuing support and for your love of our country and its people.

Sincerely,
Dennis Kucinich

4. I am not ready to give up
For one thing, I have talked to candidates who agree Bush needs to be held accountable. If we can get more of them in office, we will be in much better shape as a country.

7. So Kucinich should do nothing because DLC dems are doing nothing?
Nuts!

Kucinich is doing more than asking us to sign petitions, and upholding his duty by introducing articles of impeachment is certainly not a waste of time.

10. Probably not...
...but Lord bless Dennis for trying. At least the record will show that one man tried to do the right thing.
