"In 1999, the Republican Congress impeached President Bill Clinton after a $60 million investigation by Republican Special Prosecutor Ken Starr found no crimes by President Clinton - except consensual sex. This was a crime against Democracy."
"In 2000, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney lost the Presidential election, both nationally and in Florida. But five Republican "justices" on the U.S. Supreme Court declared Bush the winner by throwing out 175,000 uncounted Florida votes. This was a crime against Democracy."
"George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have illegally occupied the White House since January 20, 2001. In that short time, here's what they have done with the help of the Republican Congress:"
"Announced plans to invade Iraq with 250,000 troops, without Congressional authorization or debate Threatened seven nations with nuclear war Promised America "perpetual war" Let Osama Bin Laden escape from Afghanistan Failed to catch the US weapons scientist responsible for the Anthrax terrorist attacks Attemped military coup d'etat to overthrow populist Venezuelan president Unaffordable tax cuts for corporations and the rich Returned to massive budget deficits by cutting taxes for the rich Raided Social Security despite firm promises Cut health care despite firm promises Made global warming worse by opposing conservation and promoting oil drilling Undermined efforts to protect clean air, water, and national parks Sabotaged key environmental and arms control treaties Helped Enron steal billions from California consumers Secret Energy Task Force Established an unconstitutional shadow government without notifying any Democrats Cabinet of millionaires Iran-contra criminals rehired Detention without charges Surveillance without warrants Right-wing judges Restrictions on abortion Had enough? So have we!
That's why we are calling for the impeachment of:
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney The Republican Congress The Supreme Court 5 Is that impossible? No! Read the Constitution:
Article I Section 2: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
Article I Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
Article II Section 4: 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.
Article III Section 1: The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour
Here is our plan:
Step 1: We, the People, will draft the Articles of Impeachment.
Step 2: We, the People, will elect a Democratic Congress in November 2002 with instructions to impeach the President, Vice President, and Supreme Court Justices.
We have the most powerful political weapon in our own hands - the power to vote. (If you are not registered to vote, click here.)
We can use our voting power to win the next election in a landslide and defeat all Republicans.
To succeed, we must use the Internet to mobilize a get-out-the-vote effort on a scale never seen before.
Join us by creating your own e-mail list of Democratic voters. Start with your holiday card list, and add your relatives, neighbors, and colleagues.
We will create tools to help you maintain your list and to persuade everyone on your list to vote for Democrats.
We will also help you connect with fellow Democrats in your area to plan local outreach efforts, such as setting up card tables at supermarkets, libraries and schools.
If we can persuade 100,000 activists to each create a list of 100 voters, we will win the next election in a landslide.

It is generally agreed that the Commander in Chief role gives the President power to repel attacks against the United States and makes him responsible for leading the armed forces.
The War Powers Resolution states that the President's powers as Commander-in-Chief to introduce U.S. forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war; (2) specific statutory authorization; or (3) a national emergency created by an attack on the United States or its forces.
It requires the President in every possible instance to consult with Congress before introducing American armed forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities unless there has been a declaration of war or other specific congressional authorization.
