TEN REASONS TO IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH NOW

by Allen L Roland

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is
the first duty of intelligent men: George Orwell  
 
Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the impeachment of President
Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying their actions have raised
"serious questions of constitutionality."

Please join myself and millions of Americans in standing with Vermont,
whose state motto is FREEDOM AND UNITY, in calling for the impeachment,
on April 28th, of George W Bush and Dick Cheney for the following
reasons:

 
1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of
Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to
Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing
without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military
personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of
thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping
prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal
residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and
without access to counsel.

4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians,
journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons,
including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of
napalm.

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread
wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a
warrant.

6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy
hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in
2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation,
selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and
exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive
WMD proliferation for political retribution.

9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by
asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the
President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review
and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing
legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after
Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack
prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global
warming.
