B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Ralph Nader Asks, “What’s Left ‘On The Table’?”

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.

Republicans for Impeachment? Well, Shut My Mouth…

My friend Falstaff, aka Ralph Lopez left me a notice over on the BuelaHuh? page which struck my attention in that he claims that there are actually Republicans wanting Congress to do their duty and impeach what are obviously crimes against humanity and our Constitution (not to forget our moral beliefs). He includes several action items that make sense (and I have actually done some of them already) and an invite to an upcoming hearing (I just hope they actually ‘hear’ something) on the subject.

What do you think? Are these truly Republicans, not reTHUGlicans? There is a difference, you know.

Hi Buelahman! here is our latest press release, big news breaking…

Actions to Take from Home

PLEASE take as many of these five actions as possible to:

· ensure that Judiciary Committee members attend the July 25 hearing

· urge the members to vote to hold impeachment hearings based on the evidence presented July 25

· insist on media coverage of the hearing

Huge thanks to Pat Thomas, Melbourne, Florida, for the following action list

If you feel that patriotism and concern for the world-at-large requires your vigilance and active participation as an American, join me in working every single day for the near future on the impeachment debate. This IS a small, small window open right now… Remember that power yields nothing without our demanding it!

1. Contact every member of the Judiciary and insist that they attend the hearing! The hearing is on a Friday and they usually don’t work on Fridays. http://judiciary.house.gov/about/members.html

Faxing is absolutely worth a try. If you wish to email them in one fell swoop, do so here: http://judiciary.house.gov/about/contact.html

If you wish to leave a comment on voicemail, the Democrats’ House Judiciary Office is Phone: 202-225-3951 and the Republicans’ is 202-225-6504. Don’t omit the Republicans, even if you contact them last. NINE House Republicans (contrary to the minority leadership’s strategy) voted to send Kucinich’s latest impeachment proposal, H.Res.1345–which stated that Bush had lied to Congress to get authorization for his invasion of Iraq–to the Judiciary Committee: Brady (TX), Gilchrest (MD), Walter Jones (NC), Manzullo (IL), Tim Murphy (PA), Ron Paul (TX), Reichert (WA), Christopher Shays (CT), and Mike Turner (OH)!

2. Call your Representative (congressional switchboard: 1-800-828-049 to urge him/her to call for FORMAL hearings in the Judiciary to follow the “preliminary” hearing of July 25 (preferably to *begin* prior to the commencement of the August recess 2 weeks after July 25). Ask him/her to sign Kucinich’s resolutions to impeach Bush (H.Res.1258 and H.Res.1345). (Thus far, Wexler [FL-19], Woolsey [CA-6], Barbara Lee [CA-9], Hinchey [NY-22], Baldwin [WI-02], Farr [CA-17], and Towns [NY-10] have co-sponsored H.Res.1258 and Wexler [FL-19] and Barbara Lee [CA-9] have co-sponsored H.Res.1345.)

3. Send an “official” email to your Representative via Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s impeachment petition

http://impeachment.kucinich.us/petition/

4. Contact the mainstream media and demand that they start NOW to report on the impeachment issue and that they cover the July 25th hearing! Write a letter to your local newspaper. Email / call national media outlets. Here’s one list for contact info: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=111%20http://www.rense.com/mediacontact.htm

5. SPREAD THE WORD as much as you’re willing and humanly able to do… Make sure that at least your fellow Americans have heard about the July 25th hearing to discuss the actions of President George W. Bush; perhaps they’ll be interested in contacting their Congress person, etc. Talk with friends and neighbors. Email people you know. Share your opinion on internet blogs and websites that allow comments.

Conyers Announces Hearing on Imperial Presidency

Congressman John Conyers
For Immediate Release
July 17, 2008
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey (Conyers)
http://judiciary.house.gov/news/071708.html

(Washington)—Today House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. announced that, on July 25, the House Committee on the Judiciary will hold a hearing on the Imperial Presidency of George W. Bush and possible legal responses.

“Over the last seven plus years, there have been numerous credible allegations of serious misconduct by officials in the Bush Administration,” said Conyers. “At the same time, the administration has adopted what many would describe as a radical view of its own powers and authorities. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I believe it is imperative that we pursue a comprehensive review commensurate to this constitutionally dangerous combination of circumstances. Next Friday’s hearings will be an important part of that ongoing effort.”

The Committee is expected to examine a range of legal and legislative responses to allegations of administration misconduct and their expansion of executive branch power.

Since the beginning of the 110th Congress, the Committee has conducted extensive oversight into allegations of misconduct by the administration, including: (1) improper politicization of the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorneys offices, including potential misuse of authority with regard to election and voting controversies; (2) misuse of executive branch authority and the adoption and implementation of the so-called unitary executive theory, including in the areas of presidential signing statements and regulatory authority; (3) misuse of investigatory and detention authority with regard to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, including questions regarding the legality of the administration’s surveillance, detention, interrogation, and rendition programs; (4) manipulation of intelligence and misuse of war powers, including possible misrepresentations to Congress related thereto; (5) improper retaliation against administration critics, including disclosing information concerning CIA operative Valerie Plame, and obstruction of justice related thereto; and (6) misuse of authority in denying Congress and the American people the ability to oversee and scrutinize conduct within the administration, including through the use of various asserted privileges and immunities.

The July 25 hearing will be held at 10:00 a.m. in room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Additional information, including witness participation, will be announced next week.

Impeachment Resolution: First Reading Today

Impeachment Resolution: First Reading Today

Dear Friends,

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.

Sincerely,

Dennis

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Stalling On Impeachment

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.

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Impeachment on the House floor TODAY

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: When Patriots speak, other Patriots take notice:

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.

Thank you.

Sign The Petition to Impeach

Impeachment: Sign The Petition This Weekend

Excerpts come from a June 11, 2008 Countdown with Keith Olbermann show:
http://representativepress.blogspot.c…

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.

Please go to kucinich.us now. This is your opportunity to make a difference; truly celebrate Independence Day.

Thank you and Happy 4th of July.
Dennis Kucinich

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.

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Impeachment On or Off The Table? You decide

Impeachment: Why is it “Off the Table”?

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.

The Public Record: Three Part Guide to Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment

B’Man: The Public Record is a relatively new blog whose focus is information gathering from the usually overlooked public record. They do some in-depth reporting and analysis on the politically charged events of the day. Of course, the internet has opened up many of these lines, but the more I read from folks like Elizabeth de la Vega, the more I appreciate what they are trying to do.

Elizabeth makes the case that many Americans don’t even know that Impeachment is being attempted by a patriot. When they do find out and decide to look into it, the detail can become so overbearing that people find “the allegations and citations so overwhelming they just switch off their minds.”

Like when you begin to put a child’s Christmas toy together and freak out while looking at the directions and simply start assembling shit having bolts and pieces left over when “finished”.

Please visit TPR’s site and read the entire article and track the upcoming “Parts” as Elizabeth publishes them.

…For the past seven years, we have watched as evidence of President Bush’s deceit, contempt of Congress and abuse of power has piled up like rank seaweed on a beach. We cannot, in this summer of 2008, simply step around it and pretend it’s not there. There is a constitutional process to follow and we must follow it. If the threat of terrorism is not a reason to disregard the constitution – and it is not – then surely neither is an election.

So I have decided to offer some help, a modest contribution in the one area I know best: the presentation of charges. It’s a Three-Part Guide to the Articles of Impeachment. There is nothing fancy here — no sarcasm, no vitriol and no cynicism. Part I is a chart that itemizes the Articles of Impeachment with a subheading and a longer description. Part II will be also a chart which itemizes U.S. and international laws that are implicated by the charges in the Articles of Impeachment. (Quite properly, not every impeachable offense is based on a specific legal violation.) In Part III, to come early next week, I will present an opening statement setting forth - just as a prosecutor would do before a trial -what the evidence would show with regard to these allegations.

Forward them around, if you would. At the very least – before we decide to ignore it –we should all clearly and unflinchingly apprehend the nature and scope of this executive misconduct and its consequent human misery and damage to our country.

84% Want Bush Impeached… So Why Is John Conyers Still Failing America?

jperryam has a great YouTube channel set for commentary on politics. The info written with the above video:

Still waiting for the House Judiciary Chairman to honor his oath and do his job by launching impeachment hearings.

This video features a reading of the message I faxed to Mr. Conyers on Monday afternoon (6/9/08), with cc’s to my rep and senators.

Thanks to YouTube user OpenLeft for the video footage of Conyers and Rob Kall from OpEd News (dot com).

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Dennis Kucinich

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.
