Put Impeachment on the Table by Impeaching and Removing Alberto Gonzales
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/sites/afterdowningstreet.org/files/images/gonzo_bush_0.jpg (http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/94)
Good news! Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) is leading the call for an impeachment investigation of Gonzales.
Impeaching Attorney General Alberto Gonzales isn't enough, because he's covering up the far more serious crimes of Cheney and Bush. But impeaching Gonzo and sending him packing would open the door to impeaching Cheney and Bush, and restore impeachment in many people's minds to a place of honor (rather than sex scandal) in our system of checks and balances.

Our petition, which you can send to Congress (http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/94), details some of Gonzales' impeachable offenses, including:
COUNT I: Application of Geneva Conventions; Definition of Torture
COUNT II: Military Commissions
COUNT III: Illegal Domestic Surveillance
COUNT IV: Corrupting the Department of Justice
COUNT V: Perjury

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize: Impeaching Dick Cheney
"Dick Cheney sent Mr. Gonzales and another official to Mr. Ashcroft’s hospital room to get him to approve the wiretapping." -- New York Times editorial, July 29, 2007
Dick Cheney is the driving force behind the crimes of the past six years. Impeachment without Dick Cheney would be a disgrace.
Ask your Congress Member to support impeachment proceedings against Cheney. Rep. Dennis Kucinich wants to put the name of everyone who supports Dick Cheney's impeachment in the Congressional Record! The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session and is fully searchable. Every day that Congress is in session, Rep. Kucinich will submit 5 single-spaced pages of names with states, which is the daily limit under House rules. To be included, all you need to do is submit this petition:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/73 (http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/73)
Cheney's crimes are detailed here: http://afterdowningstreet.org/cheney2 (http://afterdowningstreet.org/cheney2)
Over 80 cities and towns have now passed resolutions (http://www.impeachpac.org/resolutions-list) calling for the impeachment of Cheney and Bush. Most of these resolutions detail a long list of crimes and abuses. We now propose making it very fast and easy for your city or town government. Ask them to vote Yes or No on this resolution:
"Resolved: That the Committee on the Judiciary shall investigate fully whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to impeach Richard Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors."

Dump Dick Day Video Contest

August 9th is the anniversary of the day President Richard Nixon resigned to avoid certain impeachment. Please plan now to mark the day with ceremonies, solemn or silly. We need to remind America that the proper use of impeachment did not traumatize our nation, but healed it. There was a common saying at the time: "the system worked."
Bush and Cheney have now surpassed Nixonian levels of disapproval. They have openly committed abuses for which the House Judiciary Committee passed articles of impeachment against Nixon, such as refusing to comply with subpoenas. They have openly violated laws put into place in response to Nixon's abuses, such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They have siezed unconstitutional power in ways Nixon never attempted, by rewriting laws with signing statements. And Cheney and Bush have committed far more serious crimes, including misleading the nation into war, kidnapping, torture, and murder.
When Congress finally stood up to Nixon, he was gone in 3 months. (And that was with evidence of crimes still needing to be discovered, unlike today when it is already known (http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/25170)). The Democrats won the biggest victories in recent memory in the elections that followed their decision to uphold the Constitution. In contrast, when they took the impeachment of President Ronald Reagan off the table, in order to win elections, they proceeded to lose.
