Thank Kucinich for His Remarks Today on Iran and Impeachment
When a Congress Member steps out into a firestorm of opposition from the corporate media and his own party's leadership, he has to hear support from us to keep him going.

Please call Rep. Dennis Kucinich at 202-225-5871 and Email him at http://kucinich.us/contact and thank him for his remarks today on the floor of the House, in which he stood up for Congress' war powers and stated impeachment may be the only way to prevent President Bush from attacking Iran. If you really want to encourage Dennis to move ahead on impeachment, one idea is to go to http://kucinich.us and donate to his presidential campaign. Try giving $15 because this is March 15th and indicating that impeachment is the reason why.
Remarks on the floor of the U.S. House, March 15, 2007

"This House cannot avoid its Constitutionally authorized responsibility to restrain the abuse of Executive power.

"The Administration has been preparing for an aggressive war against Iran. There is no solid, direct evidence that Iran has the intention of attacking the United States or its allies.

"The US is a signatory to the UN Charter, a constituent treaty among the nations of the world. Article II, Section 4 of the UN Charter states, "all members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. . ." Even the threat of a war of aggression is illegal.

"Article VI of the US Constitution makes such treaties the Supreme Law of the Land. This Administration, has openly threatened aggression against Iran in violation of the US Constitution and the UN Charter.

"This week the House Appropriations committee removed language from the Iraq war funding bill requiring the Administration, under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution, to seek permission before it launched an attack against Iran.

"Since war with Iran is an option of this Administration and since such war is patently illegal, then impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran."

6. While you're thanking him ask him why he thinks FOX is a legit news source

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/3/15/113017/654

GIBSON: But look at who did this. It was the George Soros group, moveon.org , and the Daily Kos, which is run by a guy named Markos, that insisted that FOX be decertified. Why is it that they have such control over Democrats?

KUCINICH: I would say that I think we need a politics which does not condemn people. So I am not going to condemn them. But what I am going to say is that FOX is a legitimate news agency that has the ability to reach out to millions of Americans, so why not get that message out? That is what I want to do, and all Democrats should be capable of doing it.

FOX is a good litmus test because if you can stand the scrutiny of FOX, with what you stand for, and all of the FOX News agencies that gather the information, their anchors can ask you questions, well that is part of what the test is of leadership.

Again, we should be thinking about a campaign that unites people. And I am ready to reach out to conservatives.

7. We all know why.

No reason not to thank him for those remarks.

[northernsoul]

10. no, I don't know why

I truly can't think of any earthly reason for the man to give FOX such a Leiberman-esque endorsement, other than severe naivete or prfound deficit of critical thinking skills. And yes, that hurts his credibility in my eyes.

[mmonk]

11. I don't agree with him about Fox but I know the reason.

It has to do with him being seen and being able to debate on TV. He doesn't have the money the annointed party elites have. However, I know my priorities and what he said concerning impeachment is one of them.

[northernsoul]

8. As opposed to his remarks legitimizing FOX news?

n/t

[mmonk]

9. Does that take away his remarks concerning impeachment,

Iran and duty?

[John Q. Citizen]

14. We'll let the whimps take on Fox. Dennis is taking on the POTUS.

I doubt not letting Fox televise a debate will make a whole lot of difference in the long run.

[Decruiter]

12. and away we go, the official flame wars have commenced. Take

heart fellow DU'ers, just how many more months to go, yeah right, 20 more months of this amazing SHIT!

I think I am beginning to believe disengagement just might be a healthy course of action.

Duck and cover comes to mind.

[NotGivingUp]

13. Thank you, Dennis Kucinich...and ignore the trolls, folks!
