I was very surprised, and delighted, to wake up this morning and discover that Kucinich’s recent motion to impeach George W is actually receiving a great deal of attention. The TOP 3 articles on Reddit this morning all referenced the impeachment and even the mainstream media, such as CBS, is giving Kucinich some attention. This might be the tipping point if we all get behind it. The Huffington Post said it well:
People will scream about how impeachment might backfire on the election of 2008. But that was never the issue. The president is guilty of grave crimes against the republic and should be held accountable. He does not have to be found guilty in a court of law; impeachment has a different standard. Bush has committed crimes against the nation. There are 4,100 dead Americans and 500,000 to 1 million dead Iraqis as a result of his lies and deceit. The Scott McClellan book just drives home everything the Intelligence Committee uncovered. It is time for the truth! If Bush can keep the prospect of attacking Iran “on the table,” then the Congress should keep impeachment on the table too.
Call or e-mail your congressman (use the link at right), but especially e-mail Nancy Pelosi here, as she said she will block all motions for impeachment.
