Kucinich Retains Promise - Introduces Impeachment After 30 Day Layover

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, true to his promise, is reintroducing an Impeachment motion against President Bush today.

From the Ohio Congressman’s July 10th mail-out:

Impeachment on the House floor TODAY

Dear Friends,

Congressman Dennis Kucinich will present a single Article of Impeachment to the House of Representatives sometime between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm (EDT) today, Thursday, July 10th.

Sessions of the House of Representatives are broadcast live on C-SPAN (check your local cable listings for channel) and streamed live via the Internet (www.cspan.org).

The article of Impeachment will deal directly with President Bush fraudulently obtaining support for an attack on Iraq by creating a false case for war. Full details of the Article of Impeachment will be available after they are read on the floor of the House by Congressman Kucinich.

Please spread the word and continue to circulate the online petition that Congressman Kucinich will personally present to members of Congress.

Thank you.
Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee

The last Impeachment motion was tabled and sent to the Judiciary Committee, headed by Rep John Conyers (D-MI).

In 2004 Conyers was an advocate of Impeachment but despite popular supprt among American citizens and polls, it has garnered little backing from fellow Democratic House members - excepting Robert Wexler (D-FLA) - who has also advocated actively on speading the Impeachment message.

The media virtually ignored the last Impeachment move by Kucinich - with the exception of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann - who brought on a Constitutional expert who lauded the move.

It won’t be much of a surprise to see Kucinich’s fellow Democrats continue to renege on their 2006 mandate, nor will it be a surprise to see mainstream media ignore it yet again. What will citizens, however, do this time around?

UPDATE: There has been some positive progress on the Impeachment motion this time around. Kucinich’s previous 35 articles against Bush for “high crimes and misdeameanours” has gained more favourable traction than Nancy Pelosi had hoped, and John Conyers has declared the matter will be looked into further.

Google News will yield some comprehensive results.
