Important information regarding the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center
as pivotal opportunity for Greens; progressives.

FROM: Byron De Lear

RE: Historic LOS ANGELES NATIONAL IMPEACHMENT CENTER as pivotal opportunity
for Greens; progressives.

CALL TO ACTION: Saturday, July 7th, from 2pm to 6pm, meet at 8124 W. 3rd St.
Los Angeles, CA 90048. WWW.BCIMPEACH.COM <http://www.bcimpeach.com/>

Dear US Green Party members, Friends ~

This past Fourth of the July the inauguration of the first national
impeachment center, the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC), was
spearheaded by Los Angeles area Greens and the Progressive Democrats of Los
Angeles (PDA-LA). 

Former Green Party California State Assembly candidate, Peter Thottam, is to
be congratulated for conceiving the "storefront" concept in the impeachment
center located at the well known "Peace Center" in LA, home to the offices
of several humanitarian NGOs including CISPES headed by the ubiquitous
activist Don White, Blase Bonpane's Office of the Americas and the Los
Angeles Greens. Mr. Thottam has invested a large amount of time and personal
finances to get this off the ground.

As of Independence Day, the "Peace Center" has now been transformed into the
"Los Angeles National Impeachment Center" (LANIC).

Notable organizational contributions to our event on Weds. came from Glenn
Mootney, Rebecca Tobias, Lisa Taylor, Eve Marian, Eugene Hernandez, Michael
Jay, Cres Vellucci, Mathew Gerbasi, William Bassett, Linda Piera-Avila, Dr.
Genevieve Marcus, Bob Smith, Anthony St. Martin and Ricco Ross. Marcy
Winograd and Kevin McKeown were also very instrumental in the run up to
Wednesday's event.

We received voluminous news coverage from all the major outlets, including a
featured piece by Howard Blume in the Los Angeles Times, the third most
widely distributed newspaper in the United States, read all over the world.
The LA Times is also virally carried by many other print venues including
the AP Wire. 

This piece can be found below posted on Common Dreams:

"A place to push impeachment" by Howard Blume 

http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/07/05/2313/

With House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Maxine Waters endorsing LANIC and
committed to speak at the inauguration press conference and demonstration,
we had specifically strategized to feature a "trans-partisan tenor" for our
press releases and promotional announcements, concentrating on our shared
issue of impeachment. 

This trans-partisan posture paid off for the issue of impeachment, and paid
off for the Green Party with testimonials like this one from the LA Times
article,  "But the audience also included fresh recruits Trevor Torquato,
19, and Lauren Kuzma, 17, of Murrieta. "I'm actually new to politics," said
Torquato. "I'm here to be educated. I'm going to register with the Green
Party today."

The key thing to emphasize here is the seamless collaboration between
passionate Greens and engaged Progressive Democrats -- to have a sitting
Congresswoman, Rep. Maxine Waters, announce to all major media covering a
press conference that, "Westside Greens, Progressive Democrats, Los Angeles
Greens and the Santa Monica Democratic Club are to be lauded for this
historic effort" is a major and penetrating accomplishment bringing together
progressive voices to fill a vacuum that the Establishment political players
are ignoring. 

This is a sea change moment, if carried properly.

The establishment of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC) is
a huge promotional opportunity that's very uniquely tailored for the United
States Green Party, as the Democratic Party leadership has concertedly
ignored the expressed wishes of the American people, and has shelved their
sworn oath to defend and protect the Constitution by failing to pursue
impeachment.

The current situation is similar to the Green Party lead recount efforts in
Ohio following the 2004 election.

This is a call to action; we need Greens, progressives from all over the US
to step up to the plate. 

An effort will be forthcoming to establish impeachment centers, like the Los
Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC) all over the country. Activists
in several states like Minnesota, Missouri and Montana, in addition to
cities such as San Diego have already contacted us and have expressed an
interest in establishing impeachment centers. For example, the "San Diego
National Impeachment Center" (SDNIC).

National Impeachment Centers can be replicated from town to town and state
to state. 

I would like to see the Green Party continue to be the innovative political
leaders on impeachment, as we have shown with results here in LA with the
launch of the first national impeachment center, which has been gloriously
received with open arms by progressives and politically active Americans
from all over the nation.

Q: CAN IMPEACHMENT REALLY HAPPEN?

A: The impeachment process could unfold very quickly as Nixon's impeachment
serenade was only THREE months long; Clinton's four months. There are 18
months left in the Bush presidency. There are smoking guns showing up
continually and most assuredly there are more skeletons in the "closet of
lawless behavior" by the Bush administration.

Actions like the latest Libby commutation only portend to a future of more
straws piling up on the proverbial camel's back until the weight brings down
the White House.

In the recent ruling on the domestic NSA Spying case, American citizens were
refused standing because of the secrecy of the program. Plaintiffs were
unable to provide evidence of being spied upon and therefore the lower
court's ruling of Constitutional illegality was overturned by the appeals
court. 

>From the International Herald Tribune, "plaintiffs are ultimately prevented
from establishing standing because of the state secrets privilege," a legal
doctrine that requires courts to limit or dismiss cases if allowing them to
proceed would disclose information harmful to national security."
http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/07/06/news/spying.php

When US Citizens are legally blocked from seeking remedies to Presidential
violations of the Constitution, and elected representatives are unwilling to
hold the Bush administration accountable, we are entering an abominable era
for our nation.

These legal moments are evidence of, and the progenitors to, police state
authoritarianism; fascism.

We here in the United States are entering a catch-22 phase of American
jurisprudence, where outright violations of the US Constitution are
protected from legal correction, because those violations were brought
ostensibly in the interests of national security and they were conducted in
secret. 

Impeachment stops this madness, and defines for posterity what is
unacceptable behavior by the Executive Branch and the Commander-in-Chief in
the interests of national security -- violations of the US Constitution,
Federal and International Law are not justifiable, no matter what the
threat.

It's absolutely essential to bring to bear the restorative properties of
impeachment as a non-partisan effort to set standards of state conduct for
future administrations.

Tomorrow, Saturday July 7th from 2pm to 6pm, we will have an organizational
orientation meeting at LANIC, located at 8124 W. 3rd St. Los Angeles, CA
90048.

WE NEED YOU TO VOLUNTEER!  

Please forward this invitation and call to action to all whom you would feel
would like to get involved to help press the national impeachment movement
forward.

Our national goal is to coerce the House Judiciary committee to pass
articles of impeachment and garner support for the Kucinich Impeach Cheney
bill (H Res 333), and our local goals include instigating the Santa Monica,
Los Angeles and West Hollywood City Councils to pass impeachment resolutions
joining nearly 80 cities and townships all across the nation that have
passed impeachment resolutions.
