APN) ATLANTA 30 US House Representatives have signed on as sponsors or co-sponsors of H. Res 635, which would create a Select Committee to look into the grounds for recommending President Bushs impeachment, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.
There has been massive support for House Resolution 635 from a very vigorous network of grassroots activists and people committed to holding the Bush Administration accountable for its widespread abuses of power, US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) said in a statement prepared for Atlanta Progressive News.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) also released a book, Articles of Impeachment Against President Bush. The Center is extremely influential in high-profile court fights over issues such as wiretapping, the treatment of detainees by the US, and felon voting rights.
We have the book, we are calling for the impeachment of the President, and were supporting Conyerss resolution, Bill Goodman, CCR Legal Director, told Atlanta Progressive News.
The fraudulent basis on which the President got us into the war in Iraq; the obvious criminality of the warrantless wiretapping; indefinite detention in violation of the Constitution; torture as a part of indefinite detention and other ways; special rendition and torture, which is the outsourcing of torture... All of these violate various laws of the US, and they also violate his oath office which he swears to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and hes doing just the opposite, hes undermining the Constitution and attempting to destroy certain parts of it, Goodman said.
Meanwhile, at least eight (8) US cities, including Arcata, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco, each in California; and Brookfield, Dummerston, Marlboro, Newfane, and Putney, each in Vermont, have passed resolutions calling for Bushs impeachment.

Well, neither Bush nor Cheney will resign...more likely the idea is to paralyze the administration so that they are powerless to do much of anything for the remaining two years of the term, and set things up to guarantee a Democratic victory in 2008.
Not sure who all Conyers has stated should be impeached. I think his statement about Reagan was in regards to the invasion of Grenada.....
What's more scary to me is that if the democrats get control of the House again then this guy and others like him will be in charge of some of the major committees....
Our founding fathers did a wonderful job of establishing the Constitution and government we have but the lack of term limits is one area I think they failed. Of course in their day they didn't expect someone to make a lifetime out of being a congress critter, etc.
Obviously you don't think, you feel instead. Americans are smarter then that.
ROFLMAO!!! Clueless-inoids. I wonder what "strategery" they've got in the hand behind their backs. Oh yes, they've got one. I'll just wait and watch that one burn to a fiery crash, too, just like their other ones.
If you're suggesting President Bush is guilty of treason you're more looney than the leftists.
Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, President of the United States, 2007:
Article One: That he permitted Vice President Cheney to report his hunting accident first to a hick town newspaper rather than to the Newspaper of Record.
Article Two: That he mispronounced the word "nuclear," thereby bringing ridicule on the United States.
Article Three: That he failed to attend annual conventions of the NAACP.
(I'm not a lawyer...the actual wording may be a little different. These aren't actually much different from the kinds of items cited in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868.)
I guess you missed the port deal polls.
Make all men count, but non to much. -Kipling.
We shouldn't be blindly supporting Bush on his open border with Mexico policy. But of course you are free to do that if you wish.
Others like myself are free to oppose it. - tom
When will this crap stop? Probably after our next 9/11.
Wishful thinking does not become fact just because you scream it louder and more shrilly.
This will go..............NOWHERE.
You forgot the misdemeanor part. You don't need high crimes. - tom
Hehheh. I figured that might get a rise out of somebody over in The Grants.
So are you going to vote for the lady General? (Her name escapes me at the moment.)
it will never stop as long as the media is given ANY credibility.. this is going to have HUGE play in the media....
then we will hear about polls... and more polls....

It will be shortened up; like they did with Nixon.-
The Charge-Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as president and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Impeachment appeared inevitable, and Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974.
Yep. That's the top of their list of priorities, right before "balancing the budget", "wiping out the debt", and "raising your taxes".
They aren't......
When your enemy wraps a rope around their neck and runs toward the cliff,You don't stop them....You feed them rope!!!!
Hardly evidence of impeachment.
The fraudulent basis on which the President got us into the war in Iraq";
The 'rats voted for it. They could have voted against it.
Now they want to cry about it some more.
If that was the case, all president's since Carter should have been impeached.
