[Texgreen] TUES. NOV. 6 KUCINICH WILL BRING CHENEY IMPEACHMENT TO THE HOUSE FLOOR

[Margaret]

NOTE: This report has been confirmed by an official of the Kucinich
campaign.
 * *
*There are reports that Kucinich will exercise the right of personal
privilege and bring impeachment of Cheney before the House of
Representatives this coming week- Tuesday or Thursday.  *

*MAKE FOUR CALLS TO THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD, AND
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME*

*Please call the Capitol switchboard at 800-862-5530- ask to speak
to your
Rep. Tell him/her to support Kucinich's resolution, or at least to
not vote
him down.  *

*Then call again and tell Kucinich's office you support what he's
doing.  *

*Call twice more - once to John Conyers and once to Nancy Pelosi,
and ask
them to let the resolution come to vote, so at least every member
will be on
record about impeaching Cheney.  *

*These four calls may be the most important you'll ever make.*

*The grounds that Dennis is using are outlined in the following
speech:*

*Last week, after meeting with pro-impeachment activists, Kucinich
delivered
a speech on the House floor in which he said: *

*This House cannot avoid its Constitutionally authorized
responsibility to
restrain the abuse of Executive power. *

*The Administration has been preparing for an aggressive war against
Iran.
There is no solid, direct evidence that Iran has the intention of
attacking
the United States or its allies. *

*The US is a signatory to the UN Charter, a constituent treaty among
the
nations of the world. Article II, Section 4 of the UN Charter
states, "all
members shall refrain in their international relations from the
threat or
use of force against the territorial integrity or political
independence of
any state . . ." Even the threat of a war of aggression is illegal. *

*Article VI of the US Constitution makes such treaties the Supreme
Law of
the Land. This Administration, has openly threatened aggression
against Iran
in violation of the US Constitution and the UN Charter. *

*This week the House Appropriations committee removed language from
the Iraq
war funding bill requiring the Administration, under Article 1,
Section 8,
Clause 11 of the Constitution, to seek permission before it launched an
attack against Iran. *

*Since war with Iran is an option of this Administration and since
such war
is patently illegal, then impeachment may well be the only remedy which
remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran.*
* *

*Impeachment now!*
