(APN) ATLANTA -- US Rep. McKinney (D-GA) told a recent audience of the film American Blackout that she had written up Articles of Impeachment for President Bush five years ago in 2001.
It was her mother, Leola McKinney, who pleaded with her and convinced her "not to drop" the Articles in the US House, at the time.
The act of writing up Articles of Impeachment is not difficult, the Congresswoman said. "You just write them on a piece of paper," she said.
The stunning fact was revealed only days before the Run-Off Election against Hank Johnson. The movie screening was attended by many McKinney supporters at Midtown Arts Cinema. The screening had been the first "big screen" release of the film in the US after several months of independent screenings nationwide.
"Maybe I shouldn't say this," she said, concluding, "Oh well, I always get into trouble anyway."
Atlanta Progressive News also learned US Rep. Dianne Watson (D-CA) recently became the 39th total Congressional co-sponsor of US Rep. Conyers's bill, H. Res 635. Watson's Office said they hoped to release a statement next week on the matter.
Watson's spokesperson did clarify in the meantime, though, she had indicated her interest to join in October, but wasn't added officially because Congress was in recess.
Truthout.org recently released an Editorial scolding US Rep Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for saying impeachment is "off the table." To rule out a Constitutional remedy before the facts are known, Truthout Editors said, is an abdication of Congressional responsibility.

Was it pre-911?
She can write? Who'd a thought it.
Who cares?
See my tagline for my official synopsis of McKinney.
She's FoS. I'd bet she did no such thing.

This racist witch of a DemoRat troublemaker was a real poster-child for the left. Total blatant stupidity and typical DemoRat behaviors...
I doubt this idiot is even capable of writing up such a document.
In fact, she wrote them on recycled toilet paper with her fingers.
Not to worry, Webb has picked up where the crackpot left off. He's the McKinney of the senate.
I would guess that just about every Dem in the House has their impeachment papers written up and ready to go.
He's still the President and McKinney is, well, ... nothing!
I'm not sure that anyone can be as f'ed in the head as Cynthia McKinney is.
But maybe you do have a point. Under the right circumstances, Webb could be pretty bad too.
He strikes me as someone for whom it wouldn't take much goading for him to explode.
Oh well, it didn't happen did it.
"she had written up Articles of Impeachment for President Bush"
Article 1... Bush loves JEWWS
Artricle 2... He hate the brutha!
