[Sosfbay-discuss] Great News! Again the GPSCC Stands Up for Impeachment!

[JamBoi]

Fellow citizens, again we rejoice!  Last night by a 2 to 1 margin the
GPSCC again voted to reserve our representatives (Eshoo, Lofgren,
Honda, and newly elected McNerny) with the resolution we passed last
year for impeachment and to celebrate the even with a press release. 
Cameron also made the excellent point that many may not realize that
Rep. Cynthia McKinney already introduced an impeachment bill at the end
of the 2006 congressional session and that we would do well to remind
one and all that we are not breaking new ground here - its already been
done, we just need to repeat!

Below's relevant items about our resolution from off of our home web
page.

Green solidarity!

LETTER
March 24, 2006

Committee on the Judiciary
2138 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Member of the Committee on the Judiciary,

On March 7th, the Green Party of Santa Clara County, representing more
than 6,500 voters in the county, passed a resolution requesting
impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney,
Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Alberto Gonzalez.

It is incumbent on the House Judicial Committee to initiate the
impeachment process when such blatant violations of the United States
Constitution are carried out.

With grave concern for the future of our country,

Gerald S. Gras
Member of the County Council
Green Party of Santa Clara County


RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION OF THE GREEN PARTY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
in defense of the Constitution of the United States demanding the
impeachment of George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney and two complicit
associates.

Whereas the Declaration of Independence declares securing "unalienable
Rights" including "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" to be
the purpose of government and

Whereas the Constitution of the United States establishes the firm
foundation for our rule of law and its Bill of Rights provides for the
precious individual rights and freedoms guaranteed to all American
citizens,

Whereas, in the conduct of their offices, President George W. Bush,
Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, in violation of their
constitutional oaths to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution"
and to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," have committed
any or all of the following "high Crimes and Misdemeanors:"

1. WARRANTLESS SEARCHES: ordering the National Security Agency to
conduct secret warrantless searches and seizures of the private
personal communications of American citizens, without oversight by the
legislative or judicial branches of the government, in violation of the
4th Amendment of the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act of the Congress (FISA 1978);

2. TORTURE: authorizing and permitting torture against human beings, in
violation of the Geneva Conventions (1864-1949) and the United Nations?
Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment (1985);

3. INDEFINITE DETENTION: depriving American citizens of their
constitutionally guaranteed rights regarding unjust imprisonment and
speedy and public trial, in violation of their rights to guaranteed
liberty and due process of law in the 5th and 6th Amendments;

4. WAR OF AGGRESSION: launching an illegal, unjust and undeclared war
against the sovereign state of Iraq, in violation of Article I, Section
8 of the Constitution and Chapters 1, 6, and 7 of the Charter of the
United Nations (1945);

5. USE OF ILLEGAL WEAPONS: authorizing the use of illegal chemical and
radioactive weapons in military campaigns, notably white phosphorous
and depleted uranium in Iraq, in violation of the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR 1948);

6. DELIBERATE DECEPTIONS: repeatedly, consciously, and with
forethought, lying to the American people and the U.S. Congress by
providing false and deceptive rationales for an unjustified and illegal
war in Iraq, obstructing justice by destroying evidence, and covering
up the truth about the 9-11 attacks;

7. ATTACKING CIVILIANS: authorizing, ordering, and condoning direct
military attacks on civilians and civilian homes and communities,
thereby causing widespread death, maiming and destruction in Iraq, in
violation of Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
and

8. VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES: violating and unilaterally
abrogating lawful signatory treaties, such as the Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty (1972) between the United States and Russia, the Treaty
of Rome (1950) establishing the International Criminal Court and the
Geneva Conventions providing for humane treatment of combatants and
civilians, in violation of Article VI of the Constitution acknowledging
these treaties to be "the Supreme Law of the Land."

Therefore, the Green Party of Santa Clara County demands the
impeachment and consequent removal from office of the four
aforementioned officials.

Be it further resolved that the Green Party of Santa Clara County
petitions the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress to initiate
Impeachment proceedings against all four identified officials.

Be it further resolved that copies of this Resolution be sent to our
Congressional representatives.

(Adopted at the Monthly Meeting on March 7, 2006 in Sunnyvale,
California)


Text of Speech March 18, 2006

I am afraid our democracy is slipping away.
I am afraid of a regime of indefinite detentions and torture.
I am afraid of a militarism that ignores the needs of its people.
I am afraid of a mass media that is the propaganda arm of the
government.
I am afraid that our children will not be free to worship as they
please.
I am afraid of laws by polititians owned by special interests.
I am afraid of rising police power, of spying and the infiltration of
peace groups.
I am afraid of fixed elections.
I am afraid of the supression of free speach.
In sum I am afraid our democracy is morphing into fascism.
BUT I am NOT afraid to stand up with you here today to demand our
democray, our civil rights and our country back.
And I am NOT afraid to remind our government that we the people are the
power and the rulers.
And I am NOT afraid to proclaim the we who are against the war are the
majority in this country and we demand an end to this illegal, immoral
and murderous enterprise.
