The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) based in Sarasota, FL, headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama with the following language:
We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.
On July 4, 1776, the founders of our nation declared their independence from governmental tyranny and reaffirmed their faith in independence with the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791. Asserting their right to break free from the tyranny of a nation that denied them the civil liberties that are our birthright, the founders declared:
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
THE IMPEACHMENT POWER
Article II, Section IV of the United States Constitution provides: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that:
ARTICLE 1
He has covered up, delayed, impeded and obstructed the investigation of the Benghazi Battle.
Specific conduct includes: (1) failing to adequately secure the US Consulate and the CIA annex in Benghazi; (2) failing to send a response team to rescue embattled US citizens in Benghazi; (3) lying to the American people about why the US Consulate and the CIA annex were attacked in Benghazi; and (3) hiding from the media and congressional investigators the Central Intelligence Agency personnel and other wounded US citizens who were on the ground in Benghazi by scattering them throughout the United States, forcing them to adopt new identities and subjecting them to monthly polygraph tests.
Benghazi Battle elements that are under investigation:
On September 11, 2012, the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, the US Consulate and the CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya was targeted in a premeditated, preplanned attack launched without warning by Islamist militants.
Footage of the attack broadcast in real time showed armed men attacking the consulate with rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, assault rifles, 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, truck mounted artillery, diesel canisters, and mortars. It was not an act of savage mob violence, nor a spontaneous protest in response to an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.
In that attack, four American citizens were killed: US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens; Information Officer Sean Smith; and two embassy security personnel, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs. Ambassador Stevens is the first U.S. ambassador killed in an attack since Adolph Dubs was killed in 1979.
ARTICLE 2
He has disclosed secret grand jury material by exposing the existence of a sealed indictment of one of the Benghazi attackers in violation of Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that clearly states: no person may disclose the indictments existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.
ARTICLE 3
He has authorized and permitted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division of the Justice Department, to conduct Operation Fast and Furious, wherein guns were sold to Mexican drug trafficking organizations that were used to kill innocent Mexican civilians and two rifles sold to a smuggler in January 2010 ended up at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.
ARTICLE 4
He has authorized and permitted confidential income tax returns information from the Internal Revenue Service to be provided to unauthorized individuals, organizations and agencies.
ARTICLE 5
He has caused investigations and audits to be initiated or conducted by the Internal Revenue Service in a discriminatory manner, including harassment and intimidation of conservative, evangelical and Tea Party groups applying for non-profit status between 2010 and 2012.
Elements of this illegal conduct include the facts that: (1) the head of the Internal Revenue Service tax-exempt organization division, Lois Lerner, admitted during a telephonic press event that illegal targeting occurred, then invoked her Fifth Amendment right and refused to answer questions before Congress about the targeting out of fear of self-incrimination; (2) two other career Internal Revenue Service employees stated that they acted at the behest of superiors in Washington Carter Hull, a retired Internal Revenue Service Attorney and Elizabeth Hofacre, an employee of the Cincinnati IRS office which oversaw tax-exempt applications; and (3) Carter Hull stated that he was directed to forward the targeted applications to, among others, one of only two political appointees in the Internal Revenue Service Chief Counsel William Wilkins.
ARTICLE 6
He has (1) authorized and permitted the National Security Agency to conduct or continue electronic surveillance of over 300 million average Americans; (2) given access to National Security Agency surveillance data to other intelligence units within the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secret Service, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in violation of the law; and (3) conducted the surveillance of average Americans unconstrained by Congress, the United Supreme Court or the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which has, to this date, functioned as a rubber stamp, having approved every request made of it in 2012 and rejecting only two of the 8,591 requests submitted between 2008 and 2012.
ARTICLE 7
He has authorized and permitted the Department of Justice to wiretap and secretly obtain two months of telephone and e-mail records of Fox News Reporter James Rosen and over one hundred Associated Press journalists.
ARTICLE 8
He has thwarted Congress by (1) failing to enforce all or parts of laws duly enacted by Congress, including the Defense of Marriage Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Affordable Care Act; and (2) after Congress refused to pass his Dream Act, unilaterally issuing an executive order directing immigration officers to no longer deport an entire class of illegal immigrants who came here as children, regardless of individual circumstances, and to give them work-authorization permits.
ARTICLE 9
He has violated the Constitution when, on January 4, 2012, (1) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, actions that were ruled unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit which affirmed previous decisions by the Court of Appeal for the D.C. Circuit and the Third Circuit; and (2) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
ARTICLE 10
He has intimidated whistleblowers and brought twice as many prosecutions against whistleblowers as all prior presidents combined. Egregiously, while refusing to prosecute anyone for actual torture, he prosecuted former Central Intelligence Agency employee John Kiriakou for disclosing the torture program.
Wherefore Barack H. Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
Ret. Col. Francis Rice-—author of the Black History Test, is a heroine!!!!!!
I often site her information—she wrote an open letter to the democrat party that was EXCORIATING, outlining ALL the continuing liberal disinformation on republicans Benghazi Barry is so anxious to continue to inflict on younger and younger children in his attempt to brainwash them—This woman has my admiration and respect for all she does!!!
And SCR*W all the “conservative” talk show hosts for NOT INTERVIEWING her—I’m convinced they’re scared she’d steal the limelight—cowards, all (and I’ve written to some of them, URGING them to interview her.)
KUDOs, Col. Frances Rice!!!!!!!
kudos to those people for taking action but the obozo hussein and most in this government do not give a wit about the constitution or any other law for that matter. Best of luck in getting a response.
And you are the main reason these things don’t go anywhere.
So you just sit on your fat azz and enjoy those chains around your neck
So encouraging to hear this voice and see this leadership, listing the administration’s many, many offenses andfailures against the populace, ALL of us, black and white! Again, I join with the other posters, BRAVO!

Go to the site, print out the test and distribute it to doctors’ offices, mechanics’ waiting rooms and post offices-—ANYWHERE you can think of—and contact the stinkin’ “conservative” talk show hosts and URGE them to interview her.
Well well...thank you for somehow thinking “I” have such clout.
I don’t know where you got that bug where the sun doesn’t shine...but the fact remains... the black population will not be coming together to Impeach Obama... and that’s with a certainty,..it’ll never happen..never! THEY know that....Do you think they would cut off their “air” supply?
However, Since this is happening in Florida...and West is in Florida...I would love to dream he is behind this...and if so there’s a sliver of a chance it will at least muddy the waters....we can all ‘dream’.
they will be brushed off as oreos and uncle toms.
Although this is from another angle..it still would apply ....
...”Why take a case to trial when the jury is the defendants brethren?.... There is a point of view among conservatives that impeachment is a victory in itself, regardless of what happens in the Senate.... When viewed through the lens of our legal system, impeachment is a defeat if there is no conviction in the Senate, ....though arguments that the proceedings might slow Obama down, make him more cautious, or distract him are not totally without merit.
Like O.J. Simpson,... Clinton was obviously guilty as charged but was acquitted.... The latter belonged to a party that prioritizes united fronts over justice. ...In Clintons case, he was acquitted by a Jury of his fellow Democrats,... which is what would happen if Obama were impeached on charges that werent so incredibly severe,... even Democrats would have to abandon him..... Farenthold then rightfully argues that Clintons acquittal had the effect of weaving the intricacies of Bubbas sordid standards into Americas cultural fabric.

LOL!
FYI
just WOW. I hope this ends up being more than a blip on the screen. Check out Chairman Frances Rice’s credentials - most impressive.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham are offended.
They’re RACCIIIIST - oh wait
It’s attitudes like yours that this goes no where.
It takes 1 to start the ball rolling, 100 start getting heard, a few thousand starts to scare them and eventually you get results.
ping
Love it!!! None dare call it racist either.
Wish the GOP had as much backbone as the Black Republicans.
I wish I could join them!!
Gutless wonders every single one.
Because it will be either ignored or swept under a carpet. Face it, the next clown to hold that seat wants to get away with the same BS. The future mantra will be, "My predecessor did it".
My attitude does not change the trajectory people choose or not to take but you are certainly welcomed to think otherwise.
We all choose ‘who’ we determine has a chance to ‘win’ as well as the battles we see ‘worth the fight’....until this nation and people get on the same page it all will continue as we have seen...and see still.
A few thousand to scare? to scare you say? To do what? when? Do you truly think this nation is up for an Impeachment process when he will be given a free pass when all is said and done?...... Meanwhile he’ll continue to press his agenda forward.
You can remove Obama but the stench behind him and supporting him will still be in Washington playing the musical chairs , as we’ve seen throughout the IRS scandal...and the Bengazi Episode and all the others.
It is OUR representatives in Congress supporting him by not opposing him...THAT is where the problem is.
