B’Man: Ralph calls for impeachment of Bush and accountability from McInsane and Obama. Notice the date. He has been calling for impeachment for a long time. Wonder where Obama’s leadership is on that subject? Must be the same place his leadership is on all the subjects… vague, illusionary, and vain imaginations.
Ralph Nader describes what’s “On the Table” For the Nader/Gonzalez Presidential Ticket versus everything that’s “OFF the Table” for Obama and McSame.

The one consistent Champion for the rights and protections of the American people is Ralph Nader. Together with Human Rights Attorney Matt Gonzalez, Mr. Nader will put the most pressing issues of our day back into the public discourse.
While the two Corporate-chosen candidates bicker over “Hope” vs. “Change”, Ralph Nader will discuss concisely the ramifications of continuing our present course in the Middle East and the results of our “For-Profit/ Not for People” Healthcare system.
Of course, when it comes to Bushies, they are also found across the pond. George Galloway wiped up the congressional floor a few years ago (hardly even heard on the TV) and now lays out precisely what will happen if Iran is attacked on this video presented by BrassCheckTV this morning.
This afternoon, at approximately 5 p.m. (EDT), the Clerk of the House of Representatives will give the first reading of the Article of Impeachment of President George Bush. Article One charges the President with deceiving Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq WMDs to fraudulently obtain support for an authorization of the use of military force against Iraq.
Once the Clerk reads the bill, I will move to refer the bill to the Judiciary Committee for hearings. I believe the American people have a right to an open airing of the charges against this President. Did he or did he not lie to take us into a war? I believe the evidence is overwhelming that President Bush knew that Iraq was not an imminent threat, was not in possession of WMDs at the time, and had nothing to do with 911 or with al Queda’s role in 911. And yet, despite having facts to the contrary, he took the U.S. into war with devastating consequences for our troops, our nation, and the people of Iraq. Congress must hold hearings.
There can be no greater offense of a President or a Commander in Chief than to conjure a war based on lies to Congress, to the troops, and to the people of America.
I love our country with all my heart and I intend to persist until America is America again.
Please contact your friends and neighbors and ask them to go to our website at www.Kucinich.us and sign the impeachment petition. Thank you for your continuing support and for your love of our country and its people.
Gotta travel today so posting from me will be limited. But I thought I would at least share this video of Scott from BrassCheckTV (they done gone and sent me another good one). He explains that a war with Iran will be far different than a war with Iraq. He lays it out quite simply, if we bomb Iran, we WILL use nukes and it will fail. And IF we bomb Iran, we need to choose which city we want gone, for they will not stop until NY, Seattle, Chicago, whatever is bombed and gone.
What An Attack On Iran Will Look Like
Consequences
Bush continues to push for an attack on Iran.
He is goaded by the Israeli War Lobby, the “religious” right, and other assorted domestic fascists and lunatics.
Iran is not Iraq.
Iran is a bigger country, a better armed country and a much more socially cohesive country than Iraq ever was - or could be.
Iran is PERSIA, a society with thousands of years behind it. Iraq was a glued together set of random kingdoms.
Iran is a country that has the ability to fight back and fight back massively.
As in Iraq, the weapons of mass destruction claim is a total fraud - and yet to war we go.
McCain is all for it. He can’t wait. Obama is being artfully vague about his intentions.
And then there’s Bush and Cheney. They still have nearly six months left to put the final bullet in the back of America’s head before they go.
Eight years ago, who could have ever imagined this insanity?
Back in 1969, 14-year-old Beatles fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto. Armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, Levitan convinced Lennon to do an interview.
38 years later, director Josh Raskin has created a hauntingly beautiful animated film using Levitan’s original interview recording. Using the “Yellow Submarine”-inspired pen work of James Braithwaite and digital illustrations of Alex Kurina, “I Met the Walrus” perfectly encapsulates Lennon’s prescient thoughts on politics and peace.
TheRealNews has a video where Rep Conyers was addressed for his ‘indecision’, which I simply call ‘cover-up’ of war crimes and criminals. Conyers made money from his book which inspired a few to think that he was different. That he would actually hold this criminal-in-chief accountable to the law and the Constitution. He is full of bullshit when he says he hasn’t made a decision yet. He decided NOT to impeach, or it would have been done already. He is a part of the problem, for no sane person can see what has been done and still think it is legal and warranted.
Adam Kokesh is a hero in many ways, but his direct, open and honest evaluation to Rep Conyer’s face is awe inspiring. How he did it without more anger and a couple of “lapdogs” and “spineless dems”, I don’t know.

From: Dennis Kucinich - www.Kucinich.us
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.
OLBERMANN: Time now to call in George Washington University law professor and constitutional law expert: Jonathan Turley.
Good evening, Jon.
JONATHAN TURLEY, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EXPERT: Hi, Keith.
OLBERMANN: I’ve often argued here that even if you think the words aren’t going to lead to any action, say the words anyway, simply to get them on the record for history, and simply because nothing has ever changed from bad to good in this country without somebody first saying—this is bad. Assess the importance of what Dennis Kucinich did last night.
TURLEY: You know, it is very important. The fact is that this is not supposed to happen the way it happened in the last seven years. The framers, I think, would have been astonished by the absolute passivity if not collusion of the Democrats in protecting President Bush from impeachment. I mean, they created a system that was essentially idiot-proof and God knows we put that to a test in the past years.
But, I don’t think they ever anticipated that so many members of the opposition would stand quietly in the face of clear presidential crimes. It has many of us who study the Constitution quite worried that we have a real crisis here. This is not something that really was supposed to happen. It was not something that one would predict.
OLBERMANN: This is the list that he presented last night—a remarkably lengthy and thorough record of the high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s just a cascade really. Did Kucinich successfully make his case?
TURLEY: I think he’s made his case. I mean, frankly, some of these claims are not really impeachable offenses. Like for example, it’s not impeachable to be negligent. If that was the case, we’d lose half that people that sat in the Oval Office. But there are plenty of crimes there. This is a target-rich environment.
What’s really disturbing for many of us is that it takes a real effort for Democrats to walk from the floor to their offices and not trip over crimes. I mean, they are all over the record, from destruction of evidence, to illegal surveillance, to unlawful torture programs. They’re all over the place.
And what’s amazing is that the president is hiding in plain view. He hasn’t really denied the elements of these offenses. So, all that is lacking is political will.
But that doesn’t mean that suddenly the Democrats are going to get principled and say—my God, we took an oath, and we need to fulfill it regardless of the outcome. But it does mean one member, and they’re actually more than one, are really calling their colleagues to the floor and saying—it’s time to pony up. It’s time to answer the public of whether you stand for the Constitution and against its abridgement.
Happy Independence Day - Let’s put the
Constitution back on the table!
“As we once again celebrate our Independence as a nation, let us celebrate freedom from fear and pledge that government ‘of the people’ will survive in this land that we love.”
- Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Some Democratic Leaders say Impeachment is off the table.
So, let’s set a new table for our nation, upon which we place the Constitution and where we demand that all those who have taken an oath to defend it … keep their promise and protect our nation from the threat within.
Please go to kucinich.us now and sign the petition, which calls for impeachment. This is the one petition that will make a difference because I will be personally delivering it to your member of congress. Please circulate word of this petition far and wide, to all your friends and family. This is the one opportunity that we have right now to actually change events in this country.
Two hundred and thirty-two years ago, our nation was conceived in liberty. We have once again reached a moment of truth, one that Lincoln recognized at Gettysburg as to whether “this nation or any nation so conceived or so dedicated can long endure.”
Through the ashes of the civil war, Lincoln prayed that “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom … and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
This Fourth of July, 2008, we face a different kind of war; one which is trying our souls … a war based on lies. But with the power of truth and the power of the people we can achieve a new birth of freedom, standing up for what is good in America, insisting on the rule of law, demanding adherence to the Constitution, and supporting the impeachment of a President who lied to take us into a war against Iraq.
Be the answer to Lincoln’s Prayer. Please pledge your support now to restoring the rule of law in America. As we once again celebrate Independence Day, let us celebrate freedom from fear and pledge that this government of the people will survive in this land that we love.
B’Man: Rednecks, if there was ever the time for you to put up or shut up, it is now. Sign the damn petition. Let them know you are tired of the bullshit.
Many of my fellow rednecks may be outraged by saying such a thing. But do you realize that it was this type of attitude that made America’s founding heroes decide to address the power and control of another empire? To rebel?
When Satullo says we have sinned, there have never been truer words. We have “missed the mark” of what America was founded to be (and what it was surely meant NOT to be). We, Americans (including every redneck alive today) are complicit in this mess.
As much as I love what the flag stood for, it has become a representation of torture and murder. We have allowed them to brainwash us just like the Germans were brainwashed during Nazi days into believing that we are superior, allowing us to do shit we denounced just a few decades ago. Or, perhaps as bad, lulled them (and us) into a complacency of “who gives a damn” and we do the best we can for ourselves.
We have let down our Founding Fathers and the intent they had for a nation that would never become what we rebelled from. We have done just that.
h/t goes to and video comes from jperryam (he recites the Satullo piece below: please visit the site). I still hope that your holiday is happy and enjoyable, but simply for the sake of gathering with friends and family. I can’t see how it could be “glorious” with what has happened to America.
Tuck the soaring speeches in a drawer for another time.
This year, America doesn’t deserve to celebrate its birthday. This Fourth of July should be a day of quiet and atonement.
For we have sinned.
We have failed to pay attention. We’ve settled for lame excuses. We’ve spit on the memory of those who did that brave, brave thing in Philadelphia 232 years ago.
The America those men founded should never torture a prisoner.
The America they founded should never imprison people for years without charge or hearing.
The America they founded should never ship prisoners to foreign lands, knowing their new jailers might torture them.
Such abuses once were committed by the arrogant crowns of Europe, spawning rebellion.
Today, our nation does such things in the name of our safety. Petrified, unwilling to take the risks that love of liberty demands, we close our eyes.
We have done such things, on orders from the Oval Office. We have done them, without general outrage or shame.
Abu Ghraib. Guantanamo. CIA secret prisons. “Rendition” of prisoners to foreign torture chambers.
It’s not enough that we had good reason to be scared.
The men huddled long ago in Philadelphia had better reason. A British fleet floated off the Jersey coast, full of hands eager to hang them from the nearest lampposts.
Yet they pledged their lives and sacred honor - no idle vow - to defend the “inalienable rights” of men. Inalienable - what does that signify? It means rights that belong to each person, simply by virtue of being human. Rights that can never be taken away, no matter what evil a person might do or might intend.
Surely one of those is the right not to be tortured. Surely that is a piece of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
This is the creed of July 4: No matter what it costs us, no matter how it scares us, no matter how foolish it seems to a cynical world, America should stand up for human rights.
No, not even the brave men who picked up a quill, dipped it in ink and signed the parchment that summer day in Philadelphia lived up perfectly to the creed. But they did something extraordinary, founding a new nation upon a vow to oppose all the evil habits of tyranny.
That is why history still honors them.
But what will history think of us, of how we responded to our great challenge? Sept. 11 was a hideous evil, a grievous wound. Yet, truth told, it has not summoned our better angels as often as our worst.
We have betrayed the July 4 creed. We trample the vows we make, hand to heart.
Don’t imagine that only the torturer’s hand bears the guilt. The guilt reaches deep inside our Capitol, and beyond that - to us.
Our silence is complicit. In our name, innocents were jailed, humans tortured, our Constitution mangled. And we said so little.
We can’t claim not to have known. The best among us raised the alarm. Heroes in uniform, judges in robes, they opposed the perverse logic of an administration drenched in fear, drunk on power.
But did we heed them? Hardly. Barely . . .
We were so busy. Soccer practice at 6. A credit card balance to fret. The final vote on Idol.
We left it to those in power to keep our precious selves from harm. Whatever it took.
We took the coward’s way.
The world sees this, even if we are too dim to grasp it. We’ve lost respect. We’ve shamed the memory of Jefferson, Adams and Franklin.
And all for a scam. The waterboarding, the snarling dogs, the theft of sleep - all the diabolical tricks haven’t made us safer. They may have averted this plot or that. But they’ve spawned new enemies by the thousands, made the jihadist rants ring true to so many ears.
So put out no flags.
Sing no patriotic hymns.
We deserve no Fourth this year.
Let us atone, in quiet and humility. Let us spend the day truly studying the example of our Founders. May we earn a new birth of courage before our nation’s birthday next rolls around.
And while we’re at it, consider the cost in innocent lives in the ME (not JUST Iran, for the nuclear waste will spread to adjacent countries) when we use bunker-buster bombs (they are nuclear weapons, didn’t you know?). Where IS our sense of decency and commitment to innocent people?
On June 9th, Thirty-five Articles of Impeachment detailing high crimes and misdemeanors were presented to the American people by Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
It takes wisdom and courage to stand up and be counted.
Courage to stand up for what is right, whether or not it is popular, or politically expedient.
Dennis Kucinich did! Will you?
Congressman Kucinich has created a path for “We the People” to take immediate action to reclaim our civil rights, our Constitution and our democracy.
It is only through the tools of impeachment that we can hold the administration to full accountability.
Impeachment ON or Off the table”? You decide.
Sign the Official Impeachment Petition.
No President, corporation or individual is above the law.
If you have followed this blog you realize I was a Dennis Kucinich believer when he was running for president. The main reason is that I believe him to be a patriot and a true believer in Democracy and his oath of office. I believe that he sees the injustices and crimes that the Bush cabal have conducted and has not been afraid or politically motivated to keep quiet.
So there is a huge applause from America that he did it and hopefully if it is tabled again, America will finally be outraged that they are not doing their job. I am so pleased that Keith discusses this issue with Jonathon Turley (as you know, I post a lot of his stuff here… very funny man and a constitutional genius).
Added: Wexler Steps Up
Dear Rednecks,
Our effort to hold the Bush/Cheney Administration accountable has taken another dramatic step forward. Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced the first Articles of Impeachment ever to be introduced against President Bush. It includes, in total, thirty-five Articles detailing this Administration’s blatant abuse of power. Today, I enthusiastically co-sponsored this vitally important bill.
I am grateful for Dennis’ leadership on this issue and for the steadfast support that countless Americans have given to both of our efforts to redeem our government and expose the crimes of Bush and Cheney.
I will now expand my efforts to secure impeachment hearings in the Judiciary Committee for these new Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.
Many of the charges against President Bush are well known – and would shock the conscience of everyday Americans if only the national media would be willing to report on these stark facts.
The Articles present a stunning narrative of offenses that have go well beyond previous crimes committed by any US chief executive. In fact no President or Vice President in history has done more to undermine our constitution.
These charges are broad, with 35 separate allegations including the deliberate lies regarding WMDs that led us to war and the approval of illegal wiretapping of American citizens. The Articles also include new allegations of high crimes – including the explicit approval for high Administration officials to violate treaties and US law banning the use of torture.
The Democratic Party gained a majority in the House and Senate due in large part to our promises to end the corruption of the Republican majority and to hold the Administration accountable to the law. This courageous bill is a crucial step towards fulfilling this promise, but – like the Articles against Cheney – they require your support to convince Democrats and open-minded Republicans to support this bold but necessary action.
Time is running out so we must work together to spread the message and apply pressure.
First, please encourage your friends and family members to sign up at WexlerWantsHearings.com – as it will allow us to keep in touch with you and speak to a wider audience. If you haven’t yet put in your phone and address, please sign up again, as we will be doing telephone town halls in the near future.
Second, call your representative and urge them to support Impeachment hearings.
Finally, contact newspapers, news stations, and your favorite bloggers and urge them to report on this movement. We need to keep Impeachment a significant news story until the Democratic leadership sees the value in it.

B’Man: David also provided some links to help you, the citizen, communicate how you feel about the subject. The more of us who call or write and let them know we support, no DEMAND, that they do their jobs, the better and more likely that something can be done.
I contend that time matters not. These people, especially Bush, have broken untold laws, far more than any other president in our history. If there was ever a case for impeachment, this is it.
This is their job and Kucinich is one of the few actually doing it.
B’Man: Isn’t it a shame that it takes a person from a state senate to bring this obvious coverup to light in our government. I don’t know much about this woman, but the fact that she sees obvious inconsistencies and what appears to be coverup in the 911 Commission’s findings means that she has a thinking brain (I am not so sure of all the others who keep their mouths shut for political reasons).
In a formal Floor speech in the Arizona Senate tomorrow (Tuesday, June 10), Senator Karen S. Johnson plans to blast Congress for their failure to defend U.S. citizens who were killed on September 11, 2001, and their failure to properly investigate those attacks.
“It has been nearly seven years,” says Johnson, “and we are faced with new evidence that turns the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission upside down.We are fighting a war because of 9/11 – and we still don’t really know what happened.We have spent billions of dollars on the war, with an additional $340 million per day. Thousands of U.S. servicemen and women have lost their lives, not to mention the lives of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians.”
Johnson revealed in a committee hearing in April that she did not accept the official report of the 9/11 Commission and has since defended supporters calling for a new independent investigation of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.“Ground Zero was treated like little more than the site of a building demolition – which, of course, is exactly what it was,” says Johnson.“Everyone who has studied it recognizes that the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down as a result of controlled explosions – not because of the airplanes and fires.”
Johnson has joined forces with local 9/11 activists who for more than two weeks have been staging a protest outside the Phoenix office of presidential candidate U.S. Senator John McCain.One protestor, college professor Blair Gadsby of Scottsdale, began a hunger strike on May 26 to bring attention to the need for Congress to re-open the investigation into 9/11.Gadsby plans to fast until Senator McCain agrees to meet with experts who will present evidence that the WTC buildings came down through controlled demolition.Tomorrow will be Day 16 of the Hunger Strike.Senator Johnson has invited Gadsby to the Senate to listen to her Floor speech.
“The U.S. government is constantly interfering with states in matters that are none of its business,” said Johnson.“Yet when it comes to the one really significant job the Constitution assigns to the government — defending our nation – the federal government failed miserably.Not only did they fail to put up any sort of a defense after the first plane struck the North Tower (Tower1), but they failed to mobilize the air defense system, they failed to protect the President, who sat reading in a public school for 20 minutes while the attacks continued, and they failed to defend our most important military installation – the Pentagon.The public is sick to death of do-nothing politicians in Congress who forget what their job is the minute they arrive in Washington.Finding out what happened on 9/11 and bringing the perpetrators to justice is the job of Congress and the Executive branch.We need to know what happened to Building 7.We need to get answers to the many unanswered questions that still exist.We need an investigation – especially of the new evidence.It’s time for Congress and our President to act.”
B’Man: The 911 “attacks”, as the government continues to portray what happened that fateful day, are so clouded with deceit and lies and cover ups that I can’t help but be suspicious. Think about it, the worst crime perpetrated against Americans in our history and the crime scene was treated like a big demolition heap. Nothing studied forensically to see the exact causes. Just hurriedly cleaned up and sold to Chinese for scrap and sent away as fast as possible. The fact that WTC building #7 went down after the first two, yet it wasn’t struck by a building. The media first fell all over themselves explaining that extra explosions were heard, but you hear none of that anymore except on the youtube.
People just fall for the unbelievable story the government tells us when the facts smash that story to bits. Yet, there are still people who deny anything else except those airplanes did this.
Duh, dumbasses.
Wake up, rednecks.
I don’t know what Ms Johnson’s plans are, but I believe she could take down that old rickety fool, McInsane, in the next US Senatorial election, for he sure as hell won’t be the next president.
The man I felt/feel would be the best president at this time in our history.
He introduced Articles of Impeachment this evening for Bush. From The Raw Story:
Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles
An Ohio Democratic lawmaker and former presidential candidate has presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush to Congress.
Thirty-five articles were presented by Rep. Dennis Kucinich to the House of Representatives late Monday evening, airing live on CSPAN.
“The House is not in order,” said Kucinich to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), upon which Pelosi pounded her gavel.
“Resolved,” Kucinich then began, “that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate. …
“In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power…”
The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed, regarded the war in Iraq: “Article 1 - Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq.”
